Democratic stronghold, and utiles* there
watt a landslide in tho outside counties,
beyond all reasonable expectation, the
pivotal state of New R>rk had declared
in unmistakable terms, although t>y a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re-
publican candidates. The returns from
llbnois betrayed a like condition
Uu the other hand, the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah arid Wyoming, as well as Nebras-
ka, seemed to indicate strong Republi-
can gains over 1800, Delaware, Mary-
land and West Virginia hatl giveu de-

The couut in several of tilt* far western
states was naturally so delayed as to
give little indication of the outcome
there, but they hatl ceased to have a
determining effect and before 10 o'clock
the Democratic leadurs had given up
tho contest and it was announced that
Mr. Hryau hatl gone to bod and was
sound asleep. The west story was eas-
ily and briefly told. Their Republican
ticket would have a larger electoral vote
than four years ago, but in the larger
states of the east intl middle west the
pluralities hatl been greatly reduced,

turned Republican by small majorities.
Although the returns are very mount

tholil in the Tenth and Joy in the Elev-

fortable majorities, while the official
count will have to establish tho status
of Robh in the Thirteenth and Vaudivtsr
in the Fourteenth district. Tho two
