The Republican committee also claimed an even chance in West Virginia. The Congressional Situation. The latent returns on representatives in congress seem to show tbe Democrats have elected 226 members and the Repub licans I'M. Both the chairmen at New York are positive that the final returns will how their ma elected. The Populists have undoubtedly carried Nevada, and that is at this writing the only state they are known to have won, though they claim several others. The United States Senate.

Contrary to the general expectation the number of votes cast in this city fell con siderably below the estimates made by the election expert mathematicians. As early as 6 o'clock the Democratic managers ad mitted that the falling off amounted to more than 7 per cent, compared with the vote four years ago. Various theories were advanced as to the cause. ; It is ar gued that hundreds of ritizens who visited the poll were obliged to stand in line awaitingheir turn until their patience became exhausted, and they gave it up. The result is a considerable decrease in the ballots cast far the candidates for each tarty. Parties Suffer A Knn, vnnti i ! Th Republicans acknowledge the falling off in votes and claim that the loss caused by the delay at the booths affected them more seriously than the Democrats. The latter suffered more through the chal lengers of the Republicans and the arrests on charges of illegal registration. On the , whole in the decrease both iiarties suffered about equally, and the result will, there fore, be according to the party strength on both sides. J I Scenes at Headquarters. ! The wires at Democratic headquarters began to tick at 6:20 J. m. yesterday. When it was reported that 520 New York City districts had given Cleveland a plural ity of nearly 42,000 unqualified satisfaction Was expressed; and when the returns from the state "above the bridge" showed that there was a falling off in tbe votes of both candidates compared with 18s, but that it was greatest in the case of Harrison, and aVso that the heavy losses were almost uni fomily Republican, the committee saidi "The state is ours for sure. We will have 100.000 maioritr to the Jnst about this time .Tiiuinie Oliver, of Paradise Park, cnine into the committee riom and paid that the Fortieth election district pave Cli'Vi l.mil and Harrison 4 votes, "and where tlios,., f,mn y0tes came from I don't know." . Still Hail News for Kepnblicans. U'lu-n came returns from 3tKl city elec tion districts showing a Democratic major ity of wlu'cli created great excite ment. The returns from the interior of the state came pouring in, showing a Re publican loss in nearly every case. Chair man Jiarrity was overwhelmed with con gratulations, but he would not commit himself. -It looks very much like a Re publican slaughter," he said, "but it is too early in the day yet to shout " As the re turns came into Democratic national head quarters they were duplicated by special wire to Mr. Cleveland at) his house on Fifty-first street. 1 ; iHow Cleveland Heard the News. When the news from Connecticut, New ersey and Illinois came ;in the tidings were taken to Mr. Cleveland and later to the feminine coterie who were; visiting Mrs. Cleveland in another room. ' It was a pretty and interesting scene. There was a lull in the receipt of tbe returns between 10 and U o'clock and politics were almost forgotten for the moment, while the family and friends; indulged in small talk, sand viched in with an occasional story that caused the room to ring with laughter. All anxiety and tension had disappeared in the face of the New York returns on the principle of the old adnce that "As goes New ork ko goes the Union." 1 At Hepubliran Headquarter. It was late in the night lief ore the' Re publicans at hendquartcifs would give up the state, and even thijn the news that Indiana had gone Republican and that West Virginia was in doubt helped to keep up their courage and pve them hope for a favorable result -When the returns were all in. The bad news from THinoi. which indicated that the state wa. in doubt to say the least was a damper, and so was that from Wisconsin., Total Vote of the Two Cities.
