Cleveland Beaten in His Own State by Nearly Fifteen Thousand Plurality, and Retired into Private Life---The Democratic Leaders Crestfallen and Dis= mayed by Disaster. NEW YORK. Naw Yonk, hational committ ment: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS— Nov. 7.—In view of the claims promulgated by the democratic national committee, thut they have carried the state of New York for Cleveland, and are sending telegrams to their local committees all over the state to that effect, the republican national commit tee have sentout to the chairman of euch republican county committee of the state tne following telegram : “*Although full returns from every county in the state show New York safely for Har- rison by upwards of 15,000 plurality, the democrats are telographing to their county chairmen claiming the state, and urging them to pay attention to returns. See that the returns are thoroughly guarded until ofticially counted, and prevent frauds at all hazard. In case of necessity employ coun sel. Notify us of any tampering with the returns, Communicate with your own com- mittee if necessary by special messenger The Evening World in an extra quotes Chairman Brice, of the democratic national central committee, as having suid We concede nothing, and from the latest returns there is a fair indication that Clevelund has carried New York state.” Following this in the World (extra) is this: This is what they say at national democratic headquarters, and it was given out as the of- ficial utterance of the national dem 1 committes, to u crowd of anxious visitors who thronged the parlors this morning in search of the latest news, 'The statement is based upon the fact that corrected returns from the interior counties of the state show & large cutting down of Harrison's majorities, and many counties whose plurality had al- ready been given, purporting to be in full, are still found to be incomplete. This is es pecially true, it is clumod, in Kings county, where it is said there will be a fight be- fore the count is completed. When it was learned that Illinois and Wisconsin might be close states as well as Indiana and Comnec- tieut, telegrams were sent to the chairmen of state committees in each state, Mr. De Forrest was the only one at the des state committee rooms. He said: not in as bad shape as we wero on the day after the election in 1884, We will coucede nothing. 1 have wired to every county for rovised returns. 'Till I receive them, I shail claim the state. There are errors in the Kings county returns, though how extensive 1 do not know. The count will be looked after.” At the republican headquarters Colomel Quay said: [ can’t say anything until it is all over. Of course Harrison is elected and has undoubtedly carried New York state. Iam told that an attempt is being made by the democrats 1n Kings county to steal the state, but they can't do it.” In the sume issue of the World which con- tains the above in double-leaded type carried over from an earlier edition, are these words: “Apropos of Colonel Brice' conceding noth- ing, there is little reasonable doubt that Ben- jamin Harrison will be the next president of the United States.” The Evening News (dem.) in a late extra heads up its election matter thus: ¢Not yet settled.

The democrats claim Illinois, California and Nevada, which would elect Cleveland without New York, as the democrats have undoubt- edly carried New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. It looks as if New York state had been carried vy the republicans, as tne returns from republican counties continue to pour in gains. Tho latest returas show Har- rison's plurality to be about 5,000 in this state, but many of the counties are esti- mated. Captain McClellan, secretary of the executive campaign committeo, has tele- raphed the state committees of Illinois and ‘Vilfln sin for tho lutest roturns, Both states are still in doubt. ““T'he nationul democratic committee does not concede New York to the republicans. No returns have been received to show any- thing more than that the state is close. Con- necticut and Indiana bave been won. Cali- fornia news is very favorable to the demo- crats, and in Illingis there 1s a firm claim for the democratic Prcsldculml as well as guber- natorial ticket. In the same edition of the News are these editorial expressions: ‘“‘We don't give up lmlm.

Illinois is almost certain to elect a democratic gov- ernor, and the national committeo does not give it up for Cleveland.” Chairman Quay authorizes the following statement. The ropublicans on Tuesday car- ried by increased majorities all the states carried for Mr. Blaine in 1834, and in addi- tion have New York by a plurality of 15,000, and Indiana by a plurality of from 4,00 to 6,000, West Virgin in doubt.

As a steropti- 1 illuminated the latest returns from New York City und Kings county, confirmiing previous figures, the crowd grew boisterous and hilarious, singing and cheering. In the corridors of ‘the New Denison the scenes of last night are being re 1upon a mode ate scale. At the Bates and Grand hotels large crowds are coneregated, but no dem- onstrations are in progress. Thousands of telegrams were reccived to- day by citizens and newspaper people from distant friends, appealing for information as o how Iudiana had gone. ~ The meagerness of the returns of last night at the late hou at which they arrived seems to have directed the eyes of the entire country toward the old Hoosler state Among the several hundred telegrams re- ccived by Chiairman Huston were over fifty stating that parties were being offered wagers on Indiana going democratic. Con- gratulatory telegrans havo poured in on General Hurrison since carly morning, and are from all parts of the country, The pre will be given access to these telegrams at such a time as General Harrison thiuks proper. Under the circumstances he is not disposed to be hasty in this matter, taking cool but serious view of the elec- t s he manifested in such marked degree throughout the campaign. It has been ananxious day for the erowd at the demecratic headquarters. Returns from New York have been very well received, and ail eyes were turned to Indiana. At 8 o'clock this eveming the committee rooms were packed with seekers after the latest news. Chairman Jewett, Mr. Sheerin, secretary of the democratic national committee, and a large corps of assistants haye been busily engage ince early morn- ing n receiving and tabulating roturns from various parts of the state, When the Associated Press correspondents called this evening after news, Mr. Sheerin was in charge. When asked for an expres- sion regarding the result in Indiana, he said : “*We have heard from fifty-four counties officially, and, taking the figures claimed by he republicans for the rest, our ve the state to Cleveland by from 2,000 plurality. The republican state ticket is behind their national ticket, so that our state ticket will have a larger plurality than that. I think we have gmned three, and possibly four, congressmen, and we have a good working majority in both branches of the legislature. Our returns are official from every county. Our committeemen send them 1o us as soon as they can get them exactly.” The opinions expressed among democrats generally are varicd, but a great many are conceding the state tothe republicans. Mean- while the faituful keep up their weary wait. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov, 7.—Attorney General Michner, on behalf of General Harrison, wired W. W. Dudley, of the national repub- lican committee, this afternoon, inquiring with regard to the correctness of the report acceded Sto Senator Gorman, allegiag the discovery of an error in the returns of flim:s county which will give New York state to the democrats. Colonel Dudley, at 4 p. m., seat the following to General Harrison: “Tnere is positively nothing 1 it. Our re guarding the returns from Kings and other precinets and counties with absolute vigilance. Fraud is barely possible, but will not be permitted if the most perfect espionage by honest, brave men can prevent 1. The state is now ours. The latest re- turns sure to give you 16,000, If there is any change it will be more.” The following telegram was received to- night by General Harrison: NEw Yo ov. 7.—T'o General Benjamin Harriso Cordial congrs tions.

Secre- tary Sherin of the democratic national com- mittee said to-night that it looked now as though General Harrison had carried the state, but it would require the ofticial returns to determine. At 10:30 this evening the democratic com- mittes rooms were deserted. The jauitor had full possession of the lower rooms. In the chairman's private room Mr, Jewett and three or four assistants were engaged in figuring on the result of the legislative and congressional tickets. Mr. Sheerin had gone home. Chairman Jewett greeted the Assoclated press correspondent pleasantly, and in answer Lo a suggestion that he might have something to say regurding the situa- tion iu the state, said: ““T'he indications are that the republican electors have carried the state. The official count may show differently.
