A Disturbing Element.
From tbe X. Y. Tribune.
At a recent prayer-mating in New Jeraey,
Democratic brother prayed that God
would cause the IVmocratic party to Lang
together, whereupon a Republican prwent
shouted: "Amen, amen." This led the
Democratic brother to uuke the following
emendation in his prayer : "Not, o Lord, in
the secw our Republican brother mtan,
bat in the spirit of arcord and concord."
"Ar.y cord will do, Lord : any cord will do "
interjected the KepuWicaa. The pastor im

Xew Youk, Nor. 9. Early in the
evening the trratityin; news was received
from Chemung county, the home of J.
Sloat Fassett and Senator Hill, that the
Republicans had male a gain of 1.1 20
over the vote of lS, but when at 10:23
o'clock the announcement was made
that Indiana had gone Repnblican by
10.OX) majority, the enthusiasm knew
no bounds. The crowd by this time
were wild at the good news announced.
From some men who crowded their
way through the mass of yelling and
singing enthusiasts, it was learned that
the same enthusiasm was existing down
town among the Democrats, but natur
ally the new3 was discredits among
the men who were almost all Repub
lican. As the reports continued to ar
rive saying that state after state was
falling into Lne for Harrison, the crowd
became more and more demonstrative.
Carter li Holding Out.
At 10:35 o'clock the announcement
was made that Chairman Carter did not
concede the state of New York. He
sent a mesae to President Harrison,
savins: " Wo have them dead." A lit
tle later he sent word down to the wait
ing crowd from his ne-t on the third
f.oor that his cry was rBen, Ben Har
rison. " The crowd took up the cry and
pave it with a will. At 10:40 o'clock
Colonel H. L. Swords fent word down
stairs that they did not give up New
York to the'Democrats by any means.
That, of course, was in accord with the
prevailing feeling. They were claiming
everything, and to show their happing
the "crowd sang campaign songs be
tween the times of announcements.
Carter Make a Speech.
At midnight Mr. Carter, chairman of
the Republican national committee, said:
"The abnormal Democratic majorities
in New York city and Brooklyn will be
difficult to overcome by Republican
gains throughout the state. Our Dem
ocratic friends seem to have nnderstood
their party nee!s in the state of New
York when they enacted the present
ballot law. Fortunately, the national
committee relied upon three distinct
combination?;, and two of them remain
intact, even if the lo-3 of New York be
conceded. With Indiana, the elect ion of
Harrison is assured, and the Republican
victory iu that state is certain. I am in
receipt f a telegram from a reliable and
thoroughly Ksted citizen of Indiana,
who says: "Full Republican vote has
boen polled throughout the state and re
turns r.p to l1) o'cl.xk tonight indicate
Republican gains and the committee is
couti leut the state has been carried foi
the Republican ticket,"
Can F.lrct Without New York.
"The vote of Indiana added to other
Republican votes in the electoral col
lege insures the re-election of President
Harnson. Lliminating from consider
ation the state of New York, the Re
publicans can still elect, with the vote
of Connt'ciictt, West Virginia and Dela
ware and without the vcte of Indiana.
But having the vote of Indiana assured
we are not, driven to our third line,
Benjamin Harrison wiil be the nest
president of the United States by virtue
of the fact tbtt he wiil receive a ma
jority of the votes ca-t in the electoral
college in obedience to the decision of a
majority of the people of the respective
states. "
NEXT HOUSE 13 DEMOCRATIC.
Judging from Incoming Report It is
Almoat a Iead Certainty.
New York, Nov. 9. Late at night
the rejiorts so far received indicated that
the Democratic majority in the next na
tional house of representatives has been
but little if any decrease' In New
York the Republicans appear to have
elected but ten of the thirty-four con
gressman, a Deui'cr.s;ic gain of on?.
New Jersey and Connecticut have not
apparently chuiged their present division
ot represetita-on, except that the Demo
crats in New Jersey have gained the ad
ditional meml-er accorded by the new
Bpporti ininent.
The south has rolled up almost solid
delegations from every state. Alabama
has an additional member in the Fiiry
third congress, and it is a Democratic
gain: Arkansas has the sam", Georgia
gains a new number and recovers
the district now represented Lv Tom
Watson, Alliance mt-wVr. The Repub
lican gains are one in New Hatp-hire,
eight in Ohio and one in Oregon. Al
though the IU pnl'licans carried Rhode
Island on the presidential ticket, the re
jiorts are that no seVctioii for congress
men was laHue. necessitating another
election. Owing to the alc nee of reports
from the central and western states and
the uncertainty as to the results in con
gressional disiricts. it is iuijHjsible to
tvea attempt to approximate the totai
representation of tiia sever! parties ic
the next house, but it will be Demo
cratic. lon Dickinson J Jubilant.

New York, Nov. 9. New York City
complete gives Cleveland 174.6S3; Har
rison, 93,760. Cleveland's majority,
76,123. The Democrats have carried
New York state by 33,131 majority.
Contrary to the general expectation,
the number of votes cast in this city fell
considerably below the estimates made
by the experts. As early as 6 o'clock
the Democratic managers admitted that
the falling off amounted to over 7 per
cent, compared with the vote of four
years ago.
Various theories were advanced as to
the causa. It is argued that hundreds
of citizens who visited the polls were
ob.iged to stand in line awaiting their
turn nntil their patience became ex
hausted and they gave it np. The re
sult is a considerable decrease in the
ballot cast for the candidates of each
party.
Both Parties Poll n Light Tote.
The United States deputy marshals
and John L Davenport's supervisors are
also held accountable for the decrease
by the Democrats, it being said that
many voters would rather forego their
righta of franchise and lose their votes
than in any way place themselves in a
position where then would be even a
possibility of undergoing the detentiou
and discomforts of arrest, whether jus
tifiable or not. The Republicans acknowl
edge the fall.ng off in votes, and admit
that the loss caused by the delay at the
lKXths affected them more seriously
than the Democrats. The latter suffered
more thronirh the challenge issued by
the Republicans and the arrest on
trumied-up charges of illegal registra
tion. The famous Sergeant-at-Arma Jimmy
Oliver, of Paradise Park, created the
furore of the early part of the evening
by bursting into the committee room
exclaiming:
"Gentlemen, down where I live, the
Fortieth election district of the Second
assembly district gives Cleveland 33
and Harrison 4 votes, and where those
4 votes came from 1 don't know."
Jimmy's announcement was heartily
cheered.
First Blood for the Republican.
The first bbickeye came in at 8 o'clock.
It was from Suffolk county and showed
a Republican gain of over 200 over the
vote in lb-S-3. rThe clam diggers have
got in their work. That is on acconnt
of Governor Flower's stand in the Fire
Island matter" was the explanation
given. This slight set-back w;is offset
by the nest news. that of (Queen's county,
which gave a Democratic plurality of
nine hundred more than in lt?S. "
Slight surprise was expressed at the
first tidings from Buffalo. Licntenaut
Governor Sheehan's home, 41 districts
out of 128 giving Cleveland T,lv2, Har
rison 8.719. The gain was more than
counterbalanced by the word that
Chautauqua county gave Harrison only
5,000, 3H) majority, a falling off of
Eince 1883.
The Third Party Carries Oregon.
There was considerable cheering when
it was announced that Weaver has car
ried Oregon, and there was more cheer
ing still when a telegram was read that
the state of Washington probably went
for Cleveland. This was rapidly fol
lowed by the returns from 830 city elec
tion districts, showing a Democratic
majority of 58.58, which created great
excitement. The returns from the in
terior of the state came pouring in,
showing a Republican loss in nearly
every case. Chairman Harrity was
overwhelmed with" consrratii'.ations, but
he would not commit himself. "It looks
very much like a Republican slanghter,"
he said, but it is too early in the game
yet to shont. "
Much amusement was caused by the
returns from Gravesend, where John Y.
McKane is supreme, showing Cleveland
2,947, Harrison 290. As the returns
came into Democratic national head
quarters they were duplicated by special
wire to Mr. Cleveland at his house on
Fifty-first street.

At 7:13 the national committee had
further cause for sat i.-f action by the
ftateuient "18 districts outside of New

"The state is ours for sure and we
will have over 100,000 to the bridge,"
was what the committee proclaimed.
. Barrity Was Confident at Midnight.
New Yojjk, Nov. 9. At 11:43 o'clock
Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic
national committee, gave out the fol
lowing statement: "There is no donbt
of the election of Cleveland and Steven
son by the popular vote, white the de
feat of Harrison is certain. New York
has given a magnificent plurality. New
York surpasses all her previous" records.
There is no break ia the south. Repub
lican claims for Delaware are unfound
ed. In Connecticut the returns show a
Steady advance over the figures of 19i-,
when he carried the state. Indiana is
undoubtedly oars. The most glorious
result appears to be in Illinois, where
from the returns it would seem that for
the first time in its history the State has
gone Democratic. W7e have won the

Somerset County Clvea an Old
Time, Republican Majority.
Some set county gives President Har
rison a majority of 2450, just 47 less than
his majority of four years ago. The Re
publican State, Congressional and Coun
ty ticket has about the same majority as
the head of the tickeL The Prohibi
tionists polled less than 200 votes in the
county, and the People's party less than
50. Following is an unofficial report of

the Presidential and Congressional tick

will not differ materially from the official

It was a vry good natured crowd that
collected in the Herald office last night,
and with very few exceptions all present
anticipated the triumphant election of
Harrison and He id. About nine o'clock
a message was received front New York
stating that Cleveland had certainly car
ried the Empire State by a handsome
majority. The Republicans did not de
spair at this news, however, but it was
painfully noticeable that their hopes bad
taken a tumble. " Jack" Hileman cheer
ed the crowd np by remarking that he
had never known an election yet w hen
the Democrats had sot started out by
claiming everything in aiht and that
be would not give np until something
had been beard from Indiana and Con
necticut " Jack" and the rest of the
crowd didn't have very long to wait for
the next message received said that
Cleveland had carried every doubtful
state. This message had rather a de
pressing effect upon the crowd and
Sheriff Good remarked that he guessed
he would go home and go to bed.
The Sheriff was prevailed upon to wait
for something from a reliable source and
he Cniviiy consented to do so. In a few
minutes a long bulletin was received
giving figures of the vote cast in a num
ber, of the wards ia Xe Yorktity.
Nearly every man present produced a
lead pencil and piece of paper and com
menced figuring a majority in that state
for the Republican candidates. Before
any of them had announced his conclu
sion some one from Berlin arrived and
reported that Silas Lichty was an appli
cant for a Cabinet position, and it was
not long before a number of well known
Somerset IVmocrats were reported to be
on the street circulating petitions for the
postrtiastership. " Dick" Yoaght come
in about this lime and said that he had
offered a well known Republican of
.Somerset the storekeepership at II ink It's
distillery if he would vote for Cleveland
and that he would take mighty good care
that he didn't get iL The proprietor of the
Uekald said that after reading the inter
view published in the morning papers
w ith Senator Quay he had made np bis
mind that the "jig was cp with the G. O.
P." Ilefore retiring he volunteered the
consol ng remark; that be would not give
up Lope nntil something more deficits
was received in the morning. Postmaster
Keller p. ked his head into the Hkhald
office only to say good night, shortly after
be had closed bis office for the evening,
and immediately retired. His action
has Eince been construed as indicating
that he had eeen the band-writing on the
wall and was satisffdd that he would not
bave the pleasure of distributing Uncle
Sam's mail for the next four years. Chair
man Biesecker's efforts te smile were ex
tremely ludicrous when he looked over
the dispatches saying that the country
had gone to the "bow-wows." When ask
ed for his epinion as to what had brought
on the landslide he replied that he wa
not looking after the electoral end of the
ticket but was more concerned about
rolling np a good majority for the Con
gressional and county ticket.
"Curt" Grove dropped in for a few min
utes to offer consolation to the sufferers
but he bad no sooner retired than it was
announced that he was a candidate tot
United States Marshal for this district
The long and frequent cheers that float
ed into the IIkkalo office from Demo
cratic headquarters Gen. Co ff roth 'a of
fice and Fisher's boot store was not the
most consoling music and it finally be"
canie so harsh and loud that the editors
concluded that the best thing they cogld
do would be to pat oat their lights and
go home. We give it op and acknowl
edge that the "Staffed Prophet" has been
elected, but our next-door neighbor, Mr.
Colborn, and Burgess Welfley kill think
that there is hope that later returns will
alter the result. i
THE THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA
TION. President Harrlaon Enumerates
Blessings to Be Grateful For.
WaSBisoros, Nov. 4 Prtarideot Harrison
has issued his annual Thaoksgiring procla
mation as follows :
The gifts of God to oar people during the
past year have bean so abundant and so
special, that the spirit of devout thanksgiv
ing awaits not a call, but only the sppoiat
meot of a day w hen it may h a common
expression, lie Has staycJ tbe pestilence ai
our door; He bas given us mors love for
the free civil institutions, in the creation of
which. Hi directing providence was so con
spicuous ; He bas awakenel a deeper rever
ence for law; He ha widened our phil
aothropby by a call to succor tha d .stress in
other lands ; He hat blessed our schools aud
in bringing forward a patriotic and God
fearing generation to execute His gttsX
and benevolent designs for our country ; He
has given us great increase in material
wealth and a wide d:ffusion of contentment
and comfort, in the homes of oar people ;
He bai given His grace to the sorrowing.
Wherefore, I Bunjimia Harrison, Presi
dent of the United Stales, do call upon all
our people to observe, as we have been wont,

continued care and grace.
The President's Thanks.
Wasuixuto.i, Nov. 2. The President to
day requested the publication of the follow
ing card :
The expressions of sympathy with me
and our family in our great sorrow from in
dividuals, from societies, from church con
ventions, from public meetings, from politi
cal clubs and committees of all parties, and
indeed from all our people, have been to
tender and so full ol re?tect aad love for
Mrs. Harrison that I reluctantly abandon
the purpose of making a personal acknowl
edgment of tach.
"Wt are gratelul, very grateful for this
great cup of good will and for your prayerful
intercessions. May God give to each of you
in every trial that grace and strength which
you have asked for us.

opened. Gallardosnd two others of the
desperate band were killed at the first vol
ley. The nine other brigands relumed tbe
fire and a pitched battle then ensued, the
brigands fighting their way through tbe
