NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 9. Probably the
.: largest financial winner on the elec
tion is Mike Dwer, the well known
turfman. It la said on good authority
that he will pocket a gain of nearly
$80,000. The New York Tribune con
eedea New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut to the Democracy and
ays they will have a clear majority
f fifty in congress but claims that
the election of president may devolve
en the house of representatives. The
Sun says the legislature of the state
of New York Is Democratic, the house
having been carried by a majority of
14, thus inuuring the elect'on of a
Democratic senator in place of Mr.
Ills cock
New York The Tribune, Whitelaw
Reid's paper, now concedes the elec
tion of Cleveland. '
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Returns from II-
t ' - . ..til In.nmnlata Hilt, a I 1 In
iinois are nun luumiwiv, .
sp - dlcations point to the carrying of the
'U state by Cleveland and Stevenson.
The entire Democratic state ucroi is
also elected and the Democrats have
a majority of the congressional delega
tion and have apparently gained con
trol of both branches of the state leg
islature. In view of the fact that there
is to be a redisricting the coming win
ter the election of a governor and both
branchesof the state legislature by the
Democrats is of the utmost importance
to that party and will enable them to
so gerrymander the state as to gain a
great permanent advantage in the
congressional, legislative and judicial
districts.
The Republicans, while generally
oonceeding the state to Cleveland and
the Domocratlc state ticket, still insist
that there is a po&sibly of Republican
supremacy In the lower house of the
rnrI assembly. The Democratic
victory in Illinois is apparently due to
two cause?, perfect organization 01 tne
state by Chairman Cable and his col.
leagues of the Democratic national
oampaigu and general defections of
the Germans.
Chicago The Chicago Herald
olaims that Kansas, Nebraska
and Nevada were carried by Weaver;
that the next national house of repre
sentatives is overwhelmingly Demo-
n 'ratio; mat me rwjjjuuiiuauo uto moi
YV ascendency in the senate ana auer
V the 4th of March the Republicans lor
the first time in thirty years find
themselves out 01 power in, an
branches of the legislative and execu
tive departments of the government.
.The Iuter-Ocean (Rep) says: The
t : .u,t.ln nwmla IllVH tlimpd
ttwir backs ou progress and given
their decision to the non-American
ideas so popular across the Atlantic.
The Tnbune (Rep.) says: The Repub
defeated iu. the na
tional contest but they have made tbe
best fight they knew how. They have
done nothing which they are
ashamed of.
Chicago Later roturnsdo not abat
in any way from the decisive Demo
cratic victory in Illinois for both nae
tlooai and state tickets.
Conservative men of all parties now
generally agree that tbe Democratic
plurality in the state will beaporox
imatoly 10,000 and the Democrats will
have at least thirteen ol the twenty
two congressmen, with probably one
'1 or two more in districts still in doubt.
i uompieie oniuii" """uo . .- .
" thirtv.fmir citv wards give Cleveland
00,054, Harrison 47,282. Partial re
turns from country towns indicate the
rote in Cook county outsldeof the city
ef Chicago to be almost a utand off, so
Cleveland's plurality in Chicago and
Cook county may be approximated at
19,000. Six hundred and thirty-two
out of seven hundred and ten pre
cincts in the state outside of Cook
county give Cleveland 112,406, Harri
son 122,284. This is a plurality for
Harrison of 9878. Official returns are
not likely to show a marked variation
from these figures. The
vote 'or Altgeld, Democratic
nominee for governor, will
show some increase over these fig
ures, while the remainder oi the state
Democratic ticket will receive same as
Cleveland and Stevenson electors.
The Democrats have also elected the
entire county ticket in Cook county.
In the state senate the Democrats will
have about seven majority and indica
tions also are that they will control
the lower house by about the same
majority. No senator is to be elected
by the next general assembly, but the
important advantage of redisricting
the state (or congressional, legislative
and judicial purposes will fall to the
Democrats.
Chicago Fifer is making a strong
I ace for Governor outside of Cook
county and although a majority of the
Republicans concede his defeat, oth
ers still hold ou to a bopewf bis suc
cess. The. Inter-Ocean at 9 o'clock
announces that fourteen counties out
side of Cook have gone for Fifer. At
this rate ihe Inter-Ocean believes he
may yet win the slate. It is conceded
the state goes to Cleveland.
MINNESOTA.
St Paul, Nov. 9. Three hundred
and thirteen precincts including ninety-five
iu St. Paul and 100 in Minne
apjlis give Harrison a purality of
1891.
St. Paul The Democratic commit
tee has not given up on the Fusion
electors, but tbe Republican commit
tee is firm in its belief that they have
carried all of the nine electors, most
of them by a plurality of 15,000 to 20,
000. On the congressional ticket there
is still some uncertainty, returns be
ing meagre; but tbe first is probably
Republican, the third Democrat, the
fourth Republican, the fifth Republi
can If tbe candidate keeps up to hi
ticket. The sixth Is claimed by both
parties and the second and seventh
are on the fence, although claimed
strongly by the Republicans.
St. Paul Chairman Miller of 'the
South Dakota Democratic committee
tonight telegraphed the Associated
Press from Yoiikton that the Repub
lican state ticket was elected and
probably both congressmen. It is
cloee on electors.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Bismarck, Nov. 8. One hundred
and forty-three precincts covering re
turns from twenty counties, including
Fusion strongholders, give a Republi
can majority of 1336. Johnson is elec
ted to congress by 3000; Harrison elec
tors will probably receive 2600.
NEBRASKA.
Oaha, Nov. 9. Returns are com
log in slowly. Both sides claim the
state. Indications are that Harrison
and Weaver will run very close.
KANSAS.
Topeka, K in., Nov. 9. Chairman
Breidantbal of tbe Populist central
committee is jubilant this morning,
He claims that the Peoples party has
carried Kansas and that no returns
have been received to justify a Re
publican victory in any but twocoun
ties, Shawnee and Reno. He has dis
patches from thirty-two counties in
the state and says that all but the
two named above have given a Popu
list majority.
Topeka Returns f 1 om 60 towns of
106 counties gle Harrison 1344 plu
rality. Most of the tar western coun
ties where tbe Farmers Alliance and
Third party movement nourish are
still to be heard irom and there is rea
son to believe that they will wipe out
the small Republican majorities now
shown, and that the entire fusion
ticket will be elected.
Topeka Four hundred and thirty
seven precincts in Kansas give Smith,
Republican, for governor, 43,090; Llew
ellyn, Fusion, 41,637. The vote on
electors has not been figured out but
Llewellyn is running far behind
Weaver, indicating a ture majority
for the Populist electors.
Topeka It looks like another Third
partv landslide in Kansas with only a
lew back counties to hear from. Re
turns already show that Weaver has
carried the state by about 2000; Llew
ellyng, Fusion candidate for governor
will Have a majority over Smith, Ke
publican, of about 1500; Harris, Fusion
candidate at large for congress, will
beat Anthony, Republican, by 1000
majority and the congressional dele
gation will stand five Fusion Popu
lists ana three Kepuulicans: Broder
k-k, Republican, is re-elected in tbe
First district by 2500; Funston, Repub
llcan, in Second district, 600;
Curtis, ltepublican, in Fourth. 3000
Humphrey, at present Republican
governor 01 tue state is oeaten for con
gre-s in the Third district by Hudson,
Fusion; Baker Fusion Popuiist in the
Sixth is re-elected by 2500 majority
over Pestana, Republican, and to cap
the climax Jerry Simpson is relumed
in the big Seventh by about 2500. The
Republicans at 11 o'clock claim the
state by 600 majority and say it will
take the omciai count to decide
Their own figures do not bear out
their assertion for 1 he maj jrities given
above are computed irom their re
turns. Tbe legislature-elect, which
will choose a successor to Senator
Perkins, Republican, will probably
be anti-Republican. Counties still
not heard from are all in the western
part of tbe state and are the hot bed
of the Third party movement, and if
they change the result given here it
will be in the way of increasing fusion
majorities.
OHIO.
Columhcs, Nov. 9. Indications at
12 o'clock tonight are that Ohio has
gone Democratic for the first time in
a presidential year, though it may re
quire the official count to determine
the result. Chairman Foley of the
Democratic state committee went
home early this morning safe in the
belief that the Republicans had a sub
stantial plurality in the state, but his
secretary and W. A. Taylor, candidate
for secretary of state, remained at
headquarters and at 10 o'clock tonight
had received unofficial returns
from all but three counties In
tbe state on which they claimed a
plurality for the candidates ou tbe
Democratic ticket of 800, and that the
Cleveland electors had been chosen
by possibly a elisrhtly reduced ma
jority. The two committees ex
changed ngures at me aoove uour
and there were no startling variations
in the returns received. At Rnpubli-
n headquarters, witn Chairman
Dick and Candidate S. M. Tay
lor for secretary of state pres
ent, they had received unonicial
returns from an due lour counties.
Returns to both committees are in re
sponse to telegrams sent out by chair
men. They claim a .Muranty 01 110 at
Republican headquarters, and concede
that it will require an official count to
determine the matter. Mr. Taylor,
Republican, stated that he noted in
the returns received that he ran about
even with the Harrison electors, hence
it is concluded that if the Kepublican
state ticket is defeated Cleveland's
electors will be chosen.
Columbus Governor MeKInley was
seen tonight by an Associated Press
reporter and asked his views on tne
situation. He declined to say any
thing. Cincinnati The Commercial Ga
zette figures on tbe situation. At this
hour it includes omciai report irom
fifty-seven of eighty-eight counties.
It shows 14002 Democratic gain, which
leavts but 76U9 of McKlnley's 21511 to
be extinguished by the remaining
tbirty-four counties. The average
gain for Cleveland is nearly 300 per
county.
Cleveland Word comes from Dem
ocratic headquarters at Columbus that
Ohio has tone Democratic oy witn
three counties to hear from. These
three will increase the plurality. It
is estimated to be 1600.
Cincinnati Returns from the Ohio
election from the very first until the
closing showed Ha rieon holding
well up to McKlnley's vote or lead-
insr it. J later straffjrnmr returns iruui
the northwest and from the mining
refflona showed a drift in favor of
Cleveland that may jeopordize Harri
son's chances for Ohio.
Cincinnati The Commercial-Gazette,
Republican, has just figured up
the official returns from thirty-seven
of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio.
The result is a gain for Cleveland of
11.353. This, taken from McKlnley's
plurality of 21,611, leaves 10,168 to be
extinguished oy remaining uouuweu.
There Is a grapevine report here that
returns from seventy-two counties
cive Harrison 127 plurality. If that
is true, aud the remaining sixteen
counties come in without variation,
Cleveland will have between 4000 and
600fi plurality In the state.
Cleveland A special from Ballaire
says that Poormau, Kepublican, is de
feated for congress in the Sixteenth
district by 100 plurality. This gives
the Democrats ten congressmen, Ite
publicans ten and leaves one district,
the JNintn, in ooudi.
MISSOURI.
St Louis, Nov.9. The Globe-Dem
ocrat (Republican) this morning, after
conceding a sweeping Democratic
presidential victory, says: The Dem
ocrats therefore will be in indisput
able control of all branches of the gov
ernment for the first halfofCleve
land's new term at least. They will
thus be entirely responsible for all
legislation of two years beginning
with March, 1892, and the people will
be able to hold them to a rigid ac
countability to the management of its
Bilalrs.
Kansas City The Journal (Repub
licanj confines Its editorial comment
upon the result of the election to tbe
following paragraph: Confidentially
speaking, this wildcat Democracy
teeins to have walluped us.
CALIFORNIA.
San Fkancisco, Nov.9. Nine hun
dred and thirty-seven precincts in
California, out of a total of 2199, give
Cleveland 67934, Harrison 62501,
Weaver 9287. Cleveland's plurality
6375. This Includes 265 precincts in
San Francisco.
San Francisco One thousand two
hundred and Sixtv-six out of 2199 Tre
cinots, including 267 in San Francisco,
give Harrison 87,659,Cleveland 88,693,
Weaver 15,463.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. 9 Michigan's elec
toral vote is badly split up. The
Democoats claim that six of these
votes will be cast for Cleveland while
the Republicans say they are certain
of nine. Both parties claim the legis
lature by a safe majorily. A success
or to United States Senator Stock
bridge, Republican, whose term ex
pires next March, will be elected by
the legislature this winter, 1
j COLORADO.
Denveb.Nov. 9. The Rocky Moun
tain News thie morning says editori
ally: Colorado has voted for Weaver
and Field by a large majority and
elected the entire free coinage Demo
cratic and Populist ticket by a majori
ty that will be little less that given
for Weaver.
Denver Although returns In the
state are incomplete it is clear that
with the exception of a few candidates
on the county ticket, tbe People's
party have scored a great viotory.
Chairman Griffeth of the Republican
state committee concedes the state to
the Weaver men. He estimates
Weaver's plurality in the state at
6000. Chairman Coleman of the Peo
ple's party 0 mmlttee claims the state
by 0000 to 8000 plurality.
WISCONSIN
Milwaukee Wis., Nov. . Both
parties still claim Wisconsin. Chair
man Wall is confident that Cleveland
and Peck will carry the state by
about 13,000, but Henry C. Payne, the
shrewd ex-chairman of the Republi
can committee, sticks to his claim
that the Republicans will come out
with colors fly tug by a small plurality
Wisconsin Democratic Chairman
Wall says Cleveland and Peck are
eleoted by 13,000. Returns are in
complete, but will not make any ma
terial dttlereuce.
Milwaukee The Sentinel's figures
say 63 out of 68 counties give a net
Democratic plurality of 1981. Coun
ties vet uuheard from may increase
this slightly.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheex.ing,Nov. 9. Meagre returns
received from Wept Virginia Indicate
that the Republicans have carried the
state, though theDemoorats do not
concede it. The southern section of
the state has not yet been heard from.
The vote in Wheeling 19 not all re
ported, but indicate the election of a
portion of tbe Republican ticket.
Wheeling, W. Va Now looks as if
it will be some days before the result
in West Virginia is positively known,
Returns coutinue favorable to the
Republicans but very few precincts
have been heard from. The Republi
cans have undoubtedly made a gain
In the legislature. Dovenor, Republi
can candidate for congress claims that
he has defeated Pendleton, Democrat.
None of tbe interior counties have
been heard from yet. There Is really
little more to tell than there was test
night. Both sides still claim the state.
Later reports may show Democrtic
gaiu. . ;
IOWA.
Des Moines, la., Nov. . The
Democratic state committee admits
that the Republicans have probably
carried ten out of eleven districts.
The Republicans claim Harrison's
plurality to be 25,000.
Davenport, Iowa The Seoond con
gressional district re-elects Hayes.
Democrat.
Sioux City Perkins, Republican, is
re-elected to congress from the
Eleventh district by a plurality of
1538.
Des Moines Iowa will'give tbe Re
publicans about 25000 plurality. Com
pared with four years ago there Is a
loss for Harrison which will aggre
gate in tbe state about 6000. This is
accounted for fully by the Third party
and Prohibition vote which will be
about 6000. The Republicans get
nineteen congressmen.
CONNECTICUT-
Hartfokd. Conn.. Nov. . The
vote in this state with one town miss
ing gives Cleveland 82,408, Harrison
76,989, Weaver 3994, scattering 1005.

ago it was 336. The whole Democrat
ic ticket is probably elected.

jarity is not conceded by the Republi
cans. Indianapolis Seventy-four out of

majority.
Paulding Paulding county gives a
Democratic majorily for president for
the first time in its history. Cleve
land's pleurality is 127.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Nov.9. Indications
are that Louisiana will return a solid
Democratic congressional delegation.
OREGON.
Portland, Ore, Nov. 9. From
meagre reports received indications
are that Harrison carries the state by
4000 plurality. Snively (Dem.) is
leading for governor, while the vote
on congressmen Is close. The1 Peoples
party vote surprisingly large.
Portland The Demooratlo central
coumittee concedes the election of
three Harrison electors in Oregon,

ocrat. SHOOTING AT TXXABKAKA.
Two
Xea Killed en the Spot and
Two
Wounded, One Fatally.
Tex ark an a. Tex.. Nov. . A
ter-
rible tradegy in which two men were
killed and another reoelved perhaps
fatal injuries, was enacted near the
Texas line In Goldberg's corner, at 4
o'clock this afternoon. J. B. Bark
man, for several years sheriff of Bowie
county, Tex., aud for the past two
years Justice of the peace in this
precinct, and jack T. Few, ex-chief
of polioe and also ex-constable of the
Arkansas Hue, had some words about
but mutual friends Interfered
aud prevented a fight. The parties
again met and after a few words both
drew their revolvers aud began firing.
Parties who saw the shooting say that
Barkmanfeli at tbe seoond shot, when
his son, Joe Barknian, drew his revol
ver and fired two or three shots
at Few, one of which took effect in
his shoulder, peuetrated the body pas
Ing in the region of bis heart and
caused almost instant death. Theold
man lived for about hall an hour and
died as 'he was being taken home.
Frank CaBsldy a bystander, was shot
by a stray bullet and it is thought la-
tally wounded. Joe Barkman was
also shot through tbe arm but and
only slightly hurt. Great exoitement
prevails over the unfortunate atiair.
ENGLAND.
TUB COTTON OPERATORS STRIKE.
Manchester, Nov. 9. The strike
among cotton operators here has
thrown 44,000 persons out of employ
ment. A proposal has been made on
exchange to put on hah time all mills
In north and north-east Lancashire in
order to assist the federation to fight
operatives. Some of the weaving
sheds at Burnley are now working on
short time, others are closed. The
stock yarns are beoomlng exhausted
as tbe result of the strike.
The 8nn en the Situation,
New York, Nov. 9. The sun had
been up an hour th morning before
Thomas Carter of the Republican na
tional committee went to bed at the
Plaza. He knew when he retired that
New York had gone Democratic, but
said that advices from tbe West were
encouraging aud he thought Harri
son was going to pull through. Chaun
cey DePew did not look this morning
like a man suffering from disappoint
ment. He said cheerily: "If Cleve
land has been elected I hope the De
mocracy will have both branches of
congress. If he Is eleoted it simply
shows that the country has accepted
theory tor practice. Give the Demo
crats full swing. Let them have
every opportunity to reduce tbolr
theory to practice. Of course I am
disappointed. I shall remain disap
pointed for the whole day. I shall
congratulate Cleveland if be gets In
and I will congratulate William C.
Whitney, He has done nobly."
Foster's View of It.
Washington, Nov. 9. Secretary
of State Foster attributes tbe Republi
can defeat to tariff issues. The party
he says challenged the Judgment of
the country on the McKlnley bill and
the verdict must be accepted as tbe
will of the people that a different
policy shall be accepted. Other ques
tions entered somewhat into the con
test but not to such an extent as to
materially affect the resmt. Nor
would It have been selected or other
leaders managed the campaign. No
administration ever went before
the country with a clear record. It is
policy, not personal of administration,
that has been condemned. In this
view of the matter tbe secretary of
war was gratified that Cleveland was
likely to be sustained by a party
majority in both branches of coDgreBS
so that tbe new policy may have a,
full, fair trial.
We heard a mechanic any that he would not
be without HalvuUou Oil. It kills pains.
Bepnblican Bulletin.
New York, Nov. 9. The Bepubli-
can National committee at 6 o'clock
sent out the following bulletin: Lat
est advices received at headquarters
are that the result of tbe election de
pends upon the returns from Wiscon
sin, Illinois and Indiana, all of which
are exceedingly close but fere claimed
by the Kepu oilcans In each case.
With electors from these states Har

The President and Cabinet Arete Early
Only te Bead Their Seem.
Washington, Nov. 9. The tele
graph office at the White Hcnse was
re-opened at 11 o'clock this meraiag,
and Mr. Montgomery, clerk ia charge,
was soon busily engaged receiving
bulletins containing revised ret terse
of elections, elearly corroborating ,
earlier returns. They gave a en
couragement to the Republic.
mates of the house, and the dee aerate
hope of the early morning that Illi

of the success of the Democrat!
ticket. Attorney-General Miller,
Postmaster Wanamaker and General
Veasy visited the president during
the forenoon and offered all consola
tion possible at the party's defeat.
Mr. Wanamaker maintained his
usual merry spirits and did what he
could to cheer his less buoyant asso
ciates. Each declined to suggest any
possible explanation of Republican
losses. Attorney General Miller
waved off all interviewers with the
remark. "I 'have nothing at all t
say." One more persistent than the
rest said him: "To what do von at
tribute the unexpected landslide?"
Th e attorney-general hesitated a
moment and quickly said: "When a
man has the small-pox he dou'l eare
much how he got it." He then olesed
tbe conversation by walking away.
Tbe air of depression throughout th
executive departments this morning
was so dense It could almost be felt
and now and then some olerk would
pluck up spirit enough to ask for re
turns from some state supposed te be
still doubtful, but with no hepe ef
hearing favorable news. Of coura a
vast majority of the employe ar
sheltered beneath the broad wings f
the civil service Lw and therofore do
not feel that dlreot personal or pecun
iary Interest in the result that char
Ized the clerks in the olden days
of political revolution in office.
Many Democrats are also included ia
their ranks, relics of the Cleveland
administration, and are ovldences f
the protecting Influences of the civil
service law. A President Harrises
and President-Elect Cleveland are
both committed to the enforcement of
this law the rank and file feel tolera
bly easy as to tbe result. Bat many
bureau chiefs, heads division and
private secretaries without the scope
of that law are downcast today at the
result, for it means much to there.
Secretary Foster was at th White
House until midnight, but that fast
did not prevent him from aopearing at
his office at the state department at
the usual hour this morning. He
plunged at once into the work of the
day In a phllosophio spirit and de
clined to discuss politics until returns
were sufficlen tly definite to enable him
to form soma judgment of the extent
and cause of the disaster whisk the
party has sustained.
Secretary Tracy, who contributed
his vote In Brooklyn and hurried ever
to Washington to sit np with the
president last night, was. in a happy
frame of mind, which comes to men
who nave done their best and knew
It. His own state has gone Democratic,
but he could not help it.
"THIS IS AWFUL."
Senator Katt Quay AH Broke Up Over tk
Bepnblican Defeat.
Philadelphia, Nov. 9. Senator
Quay arrived here this morning from
Pittsburg. He remained only a few
minutes at the hotel and then went
out and visited a number of places en
personal business, finally bringing
at the Republican slate committee
headquarters. Collector Cooper and
a reporter found him there this after
noon. Quay silently shook hands
with his callers and sinking into a
chair said, "This is awful."
Turning to Collector Cooper he
asked, " What have you heard? What
have we saved?"
Collector Coopor said there was still
hopes of Indiana. Quay made no re
ply but listened as Cooper told him
the situation of affairs.
To the question: "To ), ,t do you
attribute our defeat?" Quay replied:
"Lack of votes."
"Well then why do you think vetes
were lacking?"
"You will have to ask tbe voters
that question," replied Quay.
j --.nave you Doming iu any suumor,
Pbri the result?"
"Nothing," said Quay, and he
turned to Collector Cooper and began
questioning him as to the result in
different legislative districts In the
state.
