ECHOES OF ELECTION.
BOTH PARTIES STILL CLAIMING
CALIFORNIA AND OHIO.
Corrected Returns from Other States.
How the House ami the Senate Will
Probably Stand When the Next Congress
Meets—What the People's Party Did.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 16.—Republicans and
Democrats are both claiming Ohio. The
latest returns are encouraging to the He
publicans, but their opponents say that the
official count will alone tell which claim is
correct. The Republicans have probably
carried North and South Dakota, and Mon
tana, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota.
Maine, Massachusetts, lowa, New llamp
shire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Washington are still in the
Republican column. # Michigan gives 8
electoral votes to Harrison and 6 to Cleve
land.
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin are Dem
ocratic, and California is claimed by both
the Republicans and Democrats.
Weaver carried Colorado, Idaho, Kansas
and Nevada.
In the Senate.
On March 4,1893, twenty-five seats in the
United States senate become vacant. Mon
tana, California and Wyoming will send
Democratic senators there, and the Demo
crats at the beginning of the Fifty-third
congress will have as many senators as the
Republicans and Populists coin' ined. It
is reasonably certain, however, that the
Democrats can rely on the support of some
of the Populist senators in any of their
projects.
Of the twenty-five senatorial seats vacant
March 4, 1893, the Democrats will name
the occupants of thirteen, the Republicans
of nine and the Populists of three, one
being Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who
deserted the Republican party. The Demo
crats lose no seat they now hold, and gain
five from the Republicans—one each in
California, Montana, New York, Wiscon
sin and Wyoming. The Populists gain
senators from the Republicans in Kansas
and Nebraska, besides Senator Stewart, in
Nevada, who will succeed himself.
Some doubt still surrounds the complex
ion of the legislatures in California, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Nebraska, but late re
turns all say that the Democrats have
gained the legislatures in the first three
states and the Populists in the last.
If no further changes are made by late
returns from close states the next senate
will be composed of forty-four Democrats,
thirty-nine Republicans and live inde
pendents.
Mr. Cleveland will probably have 276
electoral votes, Mr. Harrison 148 and Mr.
Weaver 20.
The probabilities are that the state dele
gations in the next house of representa
tives will stand as in this table, which also
shows the latest indications of how the
electoral college will vote:

NEW YORK.
Complete Returns Show That Cleveland
Carried the State by a Plurality
of 42,700.
NEW YORK.—Grover Cleveland's plu
rality in this state is 42,799. His plurality
in the city is 76,125, and it is more than
29,000 in Kings county. The result in Kings t
county was a surprise, as the Democratic
managers there had claimed only 18,000 to
20,000 plurality. There were heavy Demo
cratic gains in some of the strongest Re
publican counties in the interior of the
state.
The Democrats have elected a good ma
jority of the assemblymen in this state,
which insures the election of a Democrat
to the United States senate to succeed
Frank Hiscock. Thirty Democratic as
semblymen are elected from this city, and
seventeen of the eighteen assemblymen
elected from Kings county are Democrats.
In the next assembly there will be seventy
five Democrats and fifty-three Republicans,
which will give the Democrats a sweeping |
majority on joint ballot.
Whatever the cause the total vote in the '
country districts fell much below the vote j
of 1888, but two Republicans stayed at i
borne to one Democrat, so that the Cleve- I
land majority increased in nearly every I
part of the state.
There are many surprises, but the great- '
est of all is in Chemung county, Senator
David B. Hill's home, where a Democratic ;
majority of 570 in 1888 is now a Republican !
majority of 300, or a total Democratic loss j
of 870. Dr. R. I*. Bush, the speaker of the j
present assembly, who represented the :
county seven years, is defeated.
Tammany Hall made a clean sweep. |
Gilroy was elected mayor over Einstein by t
a vote of 173,508 to 97,647. Cleveland had a '
majority of 74,793 in the eity. New York j
city with Richmond and Westchester coun j
ties sends a solid Democratic delegation of j
ten representatives to congress.
The congressional delegation from the I
state will stand 20 Democrats and 14 Re
publicans.
CONNECTICUT.
The Nutmeg State Gives Cleveland a Plu
rality of Over 5,000 —Morris Ap
parently Elected Governor.
CONNECTICUT- The vote in this state,
with one town missing, gives: Cleveland,
82,406; Hurrison, 70,989; Weaver, 3,994;
scattering, 1,005. Cleveland's plurality, j
5,417. Four years ago it was 386. The entire
Democratic ticket is probably elected, the
vote 011 governor being: Morris (Dem.), 83,-
209; Merwin(Rep.),76,4o2; Augur (Pro.), 549;
scattering, 113. Morris' majority (required
by the constitution), 1,115. Lewis Sperry I
(Dem.) is re-elected to congress from the
First district by 547. James P. Piggott
I (Dem.) is elected in the Second district by
2,840. Charles M. Russell (Rep.) is re
elected in the Third district by 527, a fall
ing off of 465 votes from two years ago.
Robert E. DeForest (Dem.) is re-elected
from the Fourth district by 2,091. The
state senate is a tie and the Republicans
have about 20 majority in the house.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Legislature of the State Will Re Re
publican on Joint Rallot hy 1)0
Majority—Dean Elected Justice.
PENNSYLVANIA. The next state
senate will consist of 31 Republicans and 19
Democrats. The general assembly will in
clude 140 Republicans and 64 Democrats. !
The Republican majority on joint ballot !
will be 90. John Dean (Rep.) is elected
justice of the supreme court. The common
pleas judges elected are: Philadelphia, :
Michael Arnold (Dem.); Lancaster, David
McMullen (Dem.); Alleghany, Edwin H.
Stoey (Kep.); Dauphin and Lebanon, John
B. McPherson; Butler and Lawrence, John ,
M. Greer (Rep.); Schuylkill, R. 11. Koche
(Rep.); Berks, 11. Willis Bland (Dem); .
Potter and McKean, Arthur G. Olmstead
(Rep.).
NEW JERSEY.
The Democratic Majority in the Legisla
ture on Joint Ballot Will Re 31.
This Shows a Republican Gain.
NEW JERSEY.—The indications now are i
that Cleveland has carried the State of j
New Jersey by 7,500, and that Werts j
(Dem.) for governor has been elected by a
plurality of 4,000. The next legislature
will stand as follows: Senate—Republic
ans, 4;
crats, 56; Republicans, 25. The Democratic
majority on joint ballot will be 31, which
leaves a net Republican gain of 4. For |
congress the Republicans have carried the
First and Second districts and possibly the
Eighth. The returns from the latter dis
trict are still incomplete.
THE CENTRAL STATES.
Illinois Goes for Ex-President Cleveland
and Causes the Greatest Sur
prise in the Campaign.
ILLINOIS. The latest returns do
not abate in any way the decisive Demo
cratic victory in the state of Illinois on na
tional and state tickets. Conservat.ve men
of all parties now generally agree that the
national and state tickets have a Demo- i
cratic majority estimated at 20,000t025,000.
Democrats have a majority in the senate of
8 and in the house of representatives of 11.
It is now definitely known that Joseph
G. Cannon (Rep.) has been elected to con
gress from the Fifteenth district, hereto
fore classed as doubtful.
OHIO.—The Cleveland Leader has
received bulletins of official majorities
from all hut six counties in Ohio. Accord- ■
ing to these figures the Republican ticket j
now has over 1,000 plurality, and should ,
have more on conservative estimates of the
remaining counties.
INDIANA. —The election returns from 1
all the state are coming in slowly. The *
unofficial returns show a steady Demo- \
cratic gain over the vote of 1888. Cleve
land's majority in the stute, it is conceded
by Republicans, will not be less than 5,000 j
and probably more. The congressional ;
delegation will be Democratic by a good ]
majority. , i
MICHIGAN.—The Republican voters /
have carried 8 out of 14 electoral districts. 1
The legislature will probably be composed '
as follows: Senate—Republicans, 18; Demo
crats and Populists, 14. House—Repub
licans, 48; Democrats and Populists, 52.
IOWA. —All the election returns so
far received indicate a Republican plural
ity of 22,000 in lowa on electors. The state
ticket runs a little behind. The Republic
ans elect congressmen in ten of the eleven
districts. Walter I. Hayes, of the Second ;
district, is the only Democrat elected. The
People's party vote will reach 35,000 and
the Prohibition vote 8,000.
| WISCONSIN. —The great victory of ,
the Democracy in Wisconsin is complete. 1
Ed C. Wall claims the state of Wisconsin
i by 13,000 majority for the Democrats. Com- |
plete reports from all over the state give '
j the Democrats 12 state senators, which, to- |
gether with 15 hold over senators, gives
: them 27 out of the 33 votes in the senate,
I with the chance of raising this number to
j 29. Sixty-six Democrats have been so far
elected to the assembly, and a great num
ber of Democratic strongholds have not yet
been heard from. This assures the election
of a Democratic United States senator to
succeed Senator Philetus Sawyer.
MlNNESOTA.—Minnesota has chosen
all of the nine Harrison electors—five hy
16,000 and four by 8,000. The fusion elect
ors actually ran behind the Democratic
electors in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Re
publicans elect six congressmen, Demo
crats one. The legislature is still in doubt.
Republicans elect governor and both con
gressmen in South Dakota. Harrison
electors wiu by 2,000. The legislature is
in doubt.
WESTERN STATES.
The Indications Seem to Show That
Kansas Has Been Carried by the
People's Party.
! KANSAS. The People's party here,
| assisted by the Democrats, have certainly
i elected the Weaver electors, the entire state
j ticket and congressmen at large by a ma-
I jority of at least 4,000. This is practically
conceded by the Republicans.
NEBRASKA.—The returns from seventy
I out of ninety-one counties in Nebraska
, have been received and settle the result in
! the state beyond a reasonable doubt. The
I Republicans elect their whole state ticket
j by at least 8,000 plurality over the inde
pendents, the Democrats being third in the
' race. Harrison will have a plurality over
Weaver amounting to about 8,000.
! CALIFORNIA.—Returns of about two
' thirds of the vote of California gives H .r
--| rison, 97,869; Cleveland, 99,638; Weaver,
j 17,805.
The unexpected closeness of the vote in
California on the national ticket has
I thrown the result in doubt, although there 1
had hitherto been little question as to a
Democratic victory.
The election passed off very quietly,
though twenty arrests were made by Unit
ed States deputy marshals for attempts at
illegal voting and for breach of the peace.
The estimated total vote of the city will be
60,000. An unusually large vote was cast
throughout California, and the new ballot
law was generally satisfactory.
IN OTHER STATES.
|io\erimr Russell Re-elected in Massachu
setts and West Virginia Goes Demo
cratic by 3,000 to 4,000 Majority.
MASSACHUSETTS.—The Herald says
'•The Republican figurers at headquarters
virtually concede the election of Governor
Russell by about 1,700, or, to be exact,
1,697. A private dispatch from Worcester
confirmed the belief that Mr. Haile would
lose the state, as that city is reported to
have given him but 500 plurality, which
shows a net gain of 300 for Russell. The
small towns, which have been slow in coin
ing in, do not cut down the estimated Rus
sell plurality materially, and there is little
indication that the towns to hear from will
wipe it out. The balance of the Repub
j licau state ticket has been elected. Lieu
tenant Governor William H. Haile, the
I Republican candidate for governor, has
' telegraphed from Springfield to Governor
Russell as follows, "Please accept my con
gratulations on j our election."
COLORADO.—The additional returns
only tend to pile up the Populist majority
in Colorado, which will be anywhere from
J 5,000 to 7,000, with Waite, Populist candi
date for governor, probably 3,000 votes be
hind his ticket. Pence (Populist) is elected
to congress in the First district by 1,500 or
2,000 majority, and Bell (Populist) is elect
! Ed in the Second district by 3,000 or 4,000
majority. The Populists will have control
of the lower house of the legislature and
probably of the senate. Long term sena
tors elected will have a vote in the session
of 1895 for a United States senator to suc
ceed Senator Walcott. Of the seventeen
long term senators chosen the Populists
! have elected ten or twelve and possibly
more.
WEST VIRGINIA.—The returns from
over three-fourths of the state show that
the Democrats will have between 3,000 and
4,(XX) majority. The Democrats will have
a majority of at least fifteen in the legisla-
J ture on joint ballot, insuring the return to
i the United States senate of C. J. Faulk
ner. The full Democratic congressional
delegation are elected.
DELAWARE.—The state's official plu
rality for Cleveland is 504. The total vote
in Delaware was 37,224 —Democrats, 18,581;
Republicans, 18,077; Prohibition, 560.
SOUTH DAKOTA.—Seven of the most
populous counties in South Dakota report
decided Republican gains, with a falling
off of the Populist vote of 25 per cent., and
later returns from other counties confirm
these representations, which makes the
election of the entire Republican state
ticket by a plurality larger than at first (
estimated, bringing the figures up to 12,000
plurality.
WYOMING.—The Harrison electors were
chosen by 500 majority. Coffeen (Dem.) is
elected to congress by about 500 majority,
and Osborne (Dem.) as governor by 2,000
majority. The legislature is Republican
ou joint ballot by one majority.
Mr. Cleveland's Modesty.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Since the election,
which resulted so triumphantly in his
favor, Mr. Cleveland has vanished from
the public view. With the exception of
the few words addressed to the throng in
front of his house in the small hours of
Wednesday morning, no utterance of pub-
He import has fallen from the lips of the
president-elect. He has remained in the
privacy of his home, and to the representa
tives of the press Mr. Cleveland has denied
himself absolutely. It was at first rumored
that Mr. Cleveland was engaged in the
preparation of a statement which he would
make public, but this was authoritatively
denied by Secretary O'Brien, who said, "1
don't think Mr. Cleveland will be heard
from till March."
The President Dtd Not Talk.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—President Har
rison authorizes the statement that recent
publications purporting to be interviews
with him, in which he is represented as
giving his views upon the election, are en
tirely unfounded and pure inventions.
When he is ready to speak upon that sub
ject he will do so in his own way—one that
will be convincing to all readers of the cor
rectness of the statements made.
The Brutn?rd Will Contest.
MLDDLETOWN, Conn., Nov. 16.—The case
of Mrs. George P. Hart, of New York, who
is trying to break the will of her father, the
late Erastus Brainerd, of Portland, is be
fore the superior court. The petition
claims that the will presented was not the
last will of Ernst us Brainerd; that undue
i influence was used to have him make this
one, and that said Brainerd was not in his
right mind when it was made.
New Jersey Blue Laws Enforced.
HACKENSACK, NOV. 16.—Mrs. Elizabeth
Berry and Garry Storms were brought to

Woodeliff, and were arrested on complaint
of Martin J. Myers, a farmer of that place,
who charged them with husking corn on
Sunday.
Hamburg's Collector Short.
HAMBURG, N. Y., NOV. 16.—1t is reported
that Marcus A. Schwert, town collector, is

A COLORED BOY CHOIR.
A Very Melodious One In Surplices at St.
Philip's Church.
New York boasts of the largest sur
pliced colored boy choir in the United
States, and, so far as is known, in the
world. Such choirs are not numerous,
and are to be found only in large cities.
There are two in New York—one belong
ing to a Roman Catholic and the other
to a Protestant Episcopal church. The
latter is the one here meant, and as the
music of the Episcopal is so different
from that of the Roman Catholic church
no comparison between the two can be
drawn.
St. Philip's ohurch in West Twenty
fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, is one of the oldest colored
congregations in America. The present
building is an ordinary affair of brick
and was once used by Methodists. Up
to a few months ago the music at St.
Philip's was furnished by an ordinary
mixed choir of colored singers. Some
months before Easter it was decided to
change to a boy choir, such as are to be
in Trinity, St. Agnes', St. An
drews' and other more or less "high"
churches in the city. The present or
ganist, Mr. E. B. Kinney, was engaged
to organize the choir, and the first serv
ices under the new order of things were
heard on Easter Sunday. Mr. Kinney,
however, found the tusk of organiza
tion a difficult one. He discovered that,
so far as the constant desire to have fun
and play pranks with one another was
concerned, there was not much differ
ence between colored and white boys.
And as the choir consisted of thirty
boys, in addition to twenty men, he had
t<> keep bis eyes open. In time the
youngsters began to submit fairly well
to discipline are now quite tracta
ble. Of couiao there was no trouble
with the men.
The colored race is essentially musical,
both in ear and voice, and this fact has
caused the choir of St. Philip's to be
reckoned among the best boy choirs in
the city. Once the youngsters are in
terested tliey enter upon the work with
an earnestness that would put many a
white boy to the blush. In the choir
there uro several remarkably good so
prano voices. Two little colored chaps,
Prentice Hutchinson and Howard Brax
ton, are regarded as especially fine, and
to them most of the solos are given. The
ages of the boys range from nine to six
teen years.
Mr. Kinney says that as far as he
knows he is the only white person con
nected with the church, though the
rector, the Rev. H. C. Bishop, is fre
quently assisted by white ministers. St.
Philip's church is interesting for other
things than its clioir. It has a very
valuable chalice cup, made of gold,
which lias been insured for SI,OOO. It is
studded with diamonds, pearls, rubies
and other precious stones. There is a
legend that two of the diamonds, each
worth S7OO, were found in the bottom
of a trunk belonging to one of the
women members of the church and were
given to adorn the chalice cup. The
altar is a handsome one and was pre
sented by Dr. Ray, a colored physician
of some note in this city. The organ is
small, but very sweet in tone.—New
York World.
An Anecdote of Itciijiiniin Went. |
When Benjamin West, the great |
American artist—born in Pennsylvania j
in 1738—was a little boy, one of bis j
school fellows tempted him to a holiday i
from trap and ball by promising him a i
ride to a neighboring plantation. "Here ;
is the horse bridled and saddled," said !
his friend, "so come get up behind me." j
"Behind you!" cried Benjamin. "I will !
sit behind nobody." "Oh, very well,"
replied the other, "1 will ride behind '
you; so mount." He mounted accord- !
ingly, and away they rode. "This is I
the last ride I shall have for some time," j
said his companion. "Tomorrow 1 am |
to be apprenticed to a tailor." "A tailor!" I
exclaimed Benjamin; "you will surely
never be a tailor!" "Indeed I shall,"
continued the boy; "it is a very good
trade. What do you intend to be, Ben
jamin?" "A painter." "What sort of
a trade is that?" "A painter," said the
Quaker boy proudly, "is the companion
of kings and emperors." "Now you
must be surely mad," said the embry
onic clothier; "there are neither kings
nor emperors in America." "Aye," said
young West, "but there are plenty in
other parts of the world. And do you
really intend to be a tailor?" "Indeed 1
do. "Then you may ride alone," cried
the future president of the National
Academy of Great Britain. "I will not (
ride with any one willing to be a tailor." i

A1 wiiy* Dying.
Life indeed consists in a series of
changes of tissue, and tlie human econ- j

When it is said that we commence to '
