At this writing—1:30 a. m.—the returas,
t Ik ugh necessarily incomplete, indicate the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks. The
extent of the majority can not yet ba sur-
mised, though it is almost certain that Clove-
land and Hendricks have carried New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. Both
Wisconsin und New Hampshire are in doubt,
with the chances favoring the Democrats. The
returns front Indiana are very slow about
being reported. Tho Democratic national
committee and Governor Hendricks claim the
(State by a good majority. The roturns from
New Jersey are also very meager, and the
same may be said for Connecticut. The
Democrats have made immense gains in Illi-
nois and Wisconsin, and it looks as if the fu-
sion ticket had carried Michigan. There is
not a reasonable doubt that a great national
triumph for the people and good government
has been attained. The returns from the con
gressional contests are meager, but indicate
that tho Democrats will control the House.
The election returns from this State are yet
incomplete, but, however, indicate that Texas
lias given the usual Democratic majority for
the national ticket, and re-elected Governor
Ireland by an increased majority. It is almost
certain that a solid Democratic congressional
delegation was chosen. There was doubt, if
any, of only two districts—the Seventh and
Tenth. In the Tenth district Major Bayers is
almost certainly ahead of his competitor. In
the Seventh district Mi-. Crain's majority will
reach perhaps 6000, but at present Major
Sayers's majority can not be surmised. Texas
bids fair to be the banner Democratic State
alike for the presidential, congressional and
stato tickets.
Tell ihe truth.
New York and several other States have
Veen beard from. Probably more to come.
Officers of Election Arrested.
ISpecial to Tub News. i
San Antonio, November 4.—Information
from Eagle Pass shows that there have been
great disorders over the elections. The orti-
of the election were arrested for receiving al-
leged fraudulent ballots from imported voters
from the Mexican side of the Bio Grande.
Alter having been held in durance for Bome
time the officers of election were released on
bi nd by order of the court, and the electiou
resumed after a suspension of an hour. No
news indicating the vote for the national,
stake and congressional nominees was received
from that point up to this writing.

New Yokk, November 4.—The World esti-
mates Cleveland's majority in this State at
from 10,000 to 15,000 majority. He has car-
ried Connecticut by 5000, and Governor Hen-
dricks telegraphs that Indiana has been re-
stored to the Democratic column by, certainly
5CC0, and probably 10,000. Tho vote in New
Joisey is close, but Cleveland has carried the
Btate by at least 2500. Blaine only got 8000
majority in Massachusetts. Advices from the
West ar6 very meager, but it is believed that
Nevada has gone for Cleveland.
STATE ELECTION NEWS.
HOW THE VOTE OF TEXAS WAS
CAST.
i ecul Tklegraws to Tns News.]
Arnnsaa ('(unity.
Eockiolt, November 4.—The estimated ma-
jority of Aransas county for Cleveland is 124,
and Ireland and the balance of t£e Democratic
state ticket 125.
Aomin County.
Bkiaville, November 4.—The election
I r seed off very quietly, and hard and earnest
v ork was done. Indications are that Austin
county polled a heavier vote than ever before,
and it is the strong belief of all that Ireland
has carried it by a small majority. Jones's
prior stronghold with the Germans has been
almoBt completely lost.
Belt Uuunty.
Temple, November 4.—The election pawed
off quietly. Six hundred and thirty votes were
polled in this box, but it is impossible to give
any information, as counting progresses slow-
ly. George C. Pendleton for the legislature
a'nd J. M. Boseboiough for county judge have
* decided majority in this box.
n, .November 4.—The weather ta a ij
WBR bright and pleasant, and a heavy vote
was polled all over the county. The precinct
voted 1202 ballots, about 400 more than ever
before. At this hour (11 o'clock) only 70
votes have been counted—a number too small
to indicate what the result will be in local
offices. Tho general impression is that five-
sixths of the votes cast here were straightout
Democrats from electors ou down. Fulwilier
is probably re-elected sheriff; Rosborough,
county judge; Futman, attorney; Upshur,
county clerk; Blair, treasurer; Turner, dis-
trict. clerk, and Hulbert constable. It is
thought Bradford has carried this by a large
majority for senator, with Wilkes second and
Bell last for district judge. The ra.ee is close
between Saunders, Holman and Blackburn.
Scales leads for district attorney. Large
crowds are gathered about the Western Union
bulletin boards watching the bulletins as they
come in. Democrats are jubilant over tho
success of the ticket as foreshadowed by re-
turns received so far from New York and else-
where.
Ilexar County.
San Antonio, September 4.—The largest
vote ever polled in this city was cast in au or-
derly manner. But five arrests were made by
deputy United States marshals and in each
case at the instance of Democratic supervisors.
A great many votes were challenged, but
comparatively few were rejected. The vote of
the city is larger than the total vote of the
county in 1882, or an increase of nearly one
hundred per cent. The vote of the county
is estimated at 7000. The result of the elec-
tion will not be known before to morrow,
there being eighty-eight names of candidates
on the tally-sheets of the clerks, and very few
ballots were voted straight. The national,
state and congressional tickets have carried,
but by what majority no one pretends to esti-
mate. The vote on the county ticket will re-
quire official count to determine
The election of the following Independents
iseiaimed: Noonan, district judge; Poor, as-
sessor; Froboese, treasurer; Stevens, sheriff,
and Dashiell,district clerk. The Democrats
are conceded Bergstrom, representative; Cope-
Innd, county judge: Callaghau, Btate attorney;
Smith, county oleik; Cassiano, collector;
Campbell, inspector, und the justices and con-
stables in the city.
Marshal Gosling is commended for the judi-
cious and careful selection of his deputy mar-
shals from the ranks of both parties, and his
personal supervision of the force. He was
continually on the go during the entire day,
making it a point to visit each polling place
every twenty minutes.
Brazoria County.
Alvin, November 4.—The following is the
vote of Alvin precinct:
BJaine, B; Cleveland, 28; St. John, 1,
Slate—Wash Jones, 3; Ireland, 30; and rest
of the Democratic state ticket tho same.
District— Burkbart, 31; Crain, 31; Jerdone,
4; Bates, SO; J. K. White, 34; Underwood, 34;
Bancay, 81.
County Ticket—Norris, 17; Mast arson, 17;
Hick}', 34; W. S. Brooks, 37; Wilson, 33; Mc-
Neil,"28; R. B. Harris, 34; Phillips, 29; Milli-
can. 5; Bruce, 11; Lynch, 8; L. T. Bennet, 34;
C. D. S. Graham, 84.
Brazos County.
Bryan, November 4.—The election in Bra-
zos county was the most spirited and exciting
that has been held for a number of years.
Bryan precinct polled nearly 1000 votes, and
all the other voting places in the county show
a large increase in the vote over former years.
The vote for Ireland was larger than two
years ago. Ireland polled about 1300 votes.
Hon. Charles Stewart, for Congress, polled the
full Democratic straight vote in the county.
Cleveland and Hendricks electors carried the
county by about 700 majority. The foreign
vote went solid for Cleveland «ud Hendricks.
W. R. Cevitt, candidate for the legislature, is,
frcni the best information, elected over Zim
Diern an and Pugh ny a large majority. Four
candidates on the Republican ticket for county
officers nit kcurded as defeated. Ed. Knox,
colored, polled the solid negro vote of this pre-
cinct, and the count so far shows him ahead,
and will likely be elected commissioner of
Bryan precinct. The people are enthusiast!.!
over the prospective result of Cleveland and
Hendricks's ejectiou.
Bosque County.
Moeqan, November 1.—A heavy rainstorm
passed over Morgan about midnight; the
wind was very high. A stiff norther began
b owing scon after daylight this morning au 1
withal it was a cool, damp, windy and muddy
day.
Much interest is manifested in the election,
both national and local.
Bets have been, and are still offered and ac-
cepted with odds, in favor of Cleveland being
elected. Over one-fourth of the town vote
was polled before 10 o'clock a. m.
The Republicans were oui; in force and were
thoroughly organized with tho hope of carry-
ing ths town for the first time, but their fond
hopes greatly resembled a bull frog vainly
endeovering toswallow an ox. A.full vote was
polled.
Morgan, November 4.—This precinct has,
beyond a doubt, given the Democratic electors
a strong majority. Ireland and Gibbs carry
this box strong; so does Wellborn for Con
Brets and Lockett for the legislature. Hall
hag probably a majority for district judge.
The day passed off very quietly.
Caldwell County.
LtTLlKO, November 4.—Caldwell will go
heavily Democratic. It is impossible to give a
statement of the vote from this district at the
present writing.
Cameron County.
Brownsville, November 4.—The eloction
passed off quietly. The city gives a Demo-
cratic majority on local tickets of 350. Crains
state and national probably have 500. The
county will give about 280 more. Reports
from up the river say Hidalgo is slightly Re-
publican and Starr "Democratic The latter
went solid for Ochiltree in 1882. Rentfro's
friends have conceded that he is beaten.
Ca*N County.
Atlanta, November 4.—The Democratio
cock crowed this morning from the top of the
Cleveland and Hendricks flag- pole, 150 feet
from the ground, and continued to crow dur-
ing the day. This precinct, and all the others
heard from, give a Democratio majority over
that of two years ago, which will elect the
Democratic ticket. The election passed off
quietly. The Democrats deserve great
praise for the efficient work done here.
Cherokee County.
BufrK, November 4.—The day opened pro-
pitious and is still a fine day. A larger vote
is being rolled than there has been for yeors.
The usual number of slanderers and mudsling-
ers surrounded the polls to interrupt the hon-
est voter.
Jacksonville, November 4.—The election
passed off quietly. About 3000 votes were
polled in the county. At least two-thirds were
for the Democratio ticket. Hon. John H.
Reagan, for Congress, had scarcely any oppo-
sition, there being no opponent except General
Monroe. Kilgore, for state senator, had no
opposition whatever.
Coryell County.
Gatesville, November 4.—A very large
vote was polled here, on account of intense in-
terest in local candidates. Ireland will have a
majority of about 1500 in the oounty. The
Democratic electoral ticket will have a ma-
jority of 2000. C. K. Bell, for state senator,
will probably have a majority of 800.
Coleman County.
Coleman, November 4.—The eleotion passed
eff quietly. A full vote will be polled. The
Ecmocratic national ticket will receive a
unanimous vote. The indications now are that
Jones will beat Ireland in this county by a
small majority. Sayers, for Congress, has a
large majority.
Collin Couuty.
Farmerrville, November 4.—Over 700
votes were polled. About thirty of these are
Republican. Considerable interest was mani-
fested for local representative on the lease law
and free grass platforms. The vote is sup-
posed to be about equally divided.
McKinnft, November 4.—The heaviest
vote in the history of the county was polled
to-day. The total for McKitiney is 1350. The
total in the county is supposed to be 0000. The
Democratic majority in the county i3 estimat-
ed at over 4000. No scratching occurred ex-
cept for Ireland, who runs behind the ticket.
Wash Jones was hardly known in the race.
Muse is believed to be elected to the legisla-
ture over H. C. Mack, free grass candidate,
by over 300 majority. Bishop, for floater,
from Collin and Denton, bad no opposition,
and is elected. Three fights occurred, aurl
one man was cut, but not seriously. Faroi-
ersville, just heard from, polled over 700.
Muse is believed to be ahead. The town i3
peaceful.
Plano, November 4.—A full vote wass poll-
ed. Everything passed off quietly. There
were about 5C0 votes polled, 450 of which are
for the national and state Democratio tickets.
Not over 12 Greenback votes were polled.
Norton runs ahead of Jones by 4. One of the
most interesting races here was between the
candidates for local representatives—H. B.
Muse, leaBe law, and H. C. Mack, free-grass
The race is close, though Muse, no doubt, will
be elected. Col. L. W. Oglesby, of Piano,
will be re-elected tax-collector. W B. Bishop,
of Denton county, was re elected floater with-
out opposition.
Colorado Comity.
Columbus, November 4.—The total vote
here was 807 and there was but little scratch-
ing of the national and state ticket. It is es-
timated that the Republicans have a majority
of one hundred. The Republican senator aud
representative are ahead. McCorinick for
district judge polls an almost solid vote.
Sndth, Independent, for collector, is ahead of
Toliver, Republican.
Cook County.
Gatnsville, November 4.—There were 1692
votes polled in this city. Inland's majority
will be about 500 and Cleveland's 800. ThrocK-
n: or ton, for Congress, has no opposition. Tne
vote will not be counted before midnight.
Balla. County.
Dallas, November 4.—The election in this
city passed off quietly, not a ripple of excite-
ment occurring. The counting of the returns
will not be completed till after midnight. The
weather has been clear and cool. The indica-
tions are that Gihbs, for lieutenant-governor,
runs several hundred votes ahead of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Burke leads Aldridge over 500
votes in this county for district judge. Ter-
l ell, ftr state senator, had no opposition, aud
his election was a walkover. Kimbrough and
Coombes are probably elected as representa-
tives. The race for sheriff between Smith
and Cochrane is close, with the probability
tbat Smith is elected. The indications that
others are elected as follows: Bower, for
county judge; Smith, county treasurer;
Schuhl and Brasswell, justices for precinct
No. 1. The Republicans voted generally for
the Norton ticket, ami Wash Jones, for gov-
ernor, got but few votes. The Cleveland and
Hcndricks electors will have over 2000 major-
ity. The streets to-night are crowded with
people anxious for the latest returns.
Denton i oumy.
Pilot Point, November 4.—At the present
late Cleveland will have about 500 majority,
and Ireland about 450. Dyer, for representa-
tive, is way ahead of all competitors. Liter
f'guies will probably reduce the majority
somewhat.
Fail. County.
Mahlin, November 4.--A wet norther blow
up this morning, but cleared off before ths
opening of the polls, and the remainder of the
day has been comparatively pleasant, and in
consequence a large vote has been polled all
over tho county. The vote of this precinct is
in excess of that of 1880 about, 70. It is im-
possible to give anything defluite now, but it
is safe to say that the county Democratic
ticket has been elected with, perhaps, two ex-
ceptions. It is thought the county will give a
majority for Cleveland and Hendricks, and
the entire Democratic stato ticket.
Fannin County.
Boniiam, November 4.—Eleven hundred and
eighty-five votes were polled at this precinct.
The count is progressing, with indications of
it resulting: Democratic, 700; Republican,
385. There was no scratching with the Demo-
crats. The present indications give the Demo-
ciutic ticket 5000, while tbe opposition vote
will be less than 2000 in this county. Great in-
terest and excitement prevail, but no disturb-
acce has occurred.
Fa,ette County.
LEDltETTEit November 4.—The election in
this (the Thirteenth) precinct of Fayette
county passed off quietly with the following
result: Presidential ticket, Democratic ma-
jority 15; for governor, Ireland, majority 15;
for Jieusenant-governor, Gibbs, majority 15;
for Congress, James F. Miller, majority 13;
for representatives, A. Groos aud P. E. Fag<,
nie ahead; for county judge, A. Hatduseck,
majority 16.
Frio County.
Pearsall, November 4.—Frio county gives
Cleveland and Hendricks a majority of about
250, Crain for Congress about 225, Hall for
Senate about 200.
County.
Long view, November 4. — The election
passed off quutly. Seven hundred and twen-
ty-nlno votes were polled—greater by seven
than ever before The count will not be fin-
ished until late in tbe morning. There is no
di.-si ijt to the belief that Newsome, colored,
will have a majority in the oounty over Bar-
ton, Democrat, for floater, or that the state
and presidential Democratio tickets have a
majority.
Hardin County.
Sour Lake, November 4.—The eloction in
this pi ecinct passed off quietly. The voto was:
Cleveland aud Hendricks, 37; Blaiue and
Logan, 5; John Ireland, 11; G. W. Jones, 20;

P. B. Wetts, 31; W. Ii. Douglas, 7. Repre-
sentatives—J. H. Wort, 36; C. W. Stevens, 2.
Harris County.
ITcckLEY, September 4.—The election here
passed off quietly. 130 votes were polled.
The Democratic nomi iees for state and county
tfficers are ahead.
Harrison couuty.
Marshall, November 4.—This county has
gone overwhelmingly Democratic. The color-
ed voters in large numbers openly cast their
ballots for the state ticket.
Marshall, November 4.—The election
passed off quietly. The negroes voted the
Republican national, state Democratic, and
t ouniy citizens tijketa. Tho estimated ma-
jorities in tho county are: Blaina 700, and

in s< ntntivo Ii. T. Haily, and W. J. Caven,
iletiter, all Democrats, aro elected.
Houston County.
Crocket, November 4.—Cleveland's majori-
ty in this county is 400; Ireland's majority
over Norton 3C0; over Jones 1500. Reagan's
majority is 300. Williams, for district judge,
has 800 majority. Page, Democrat, is elected
to the legislature without any opposition.
Faulk, for diftrict attorney, had no opposition.
Frank Hill, Independent, was elected justice
of the peace of this precinct.
JctTfrson County.
Beaumont, November 4.—Six hundred and
seventy-one votes were cast here. The Demo-
crats claim an estimated majority of 40:) for
Cleveland in the county, but the Republicans
concede but 300. W. H. Ford, for district
judge, and W. L. Douglass, for senator, with
Stephens as representative, carry this county
by handsome majorities. The election was the
largest and most j eaceable election ever held
here.
Johnaon County.
Cleburne, November 4.—There were no
party nominations in this county. The vote
fc.r governor is about 20 per cent, increase upon
that, of 1882. Jones's vote is lighter than last
time. T he official vote progresses slowly on
account of the length of the ticket. The
straight Republican vote in the county is
about 200.
Kaufman County.
Terrell, November 4.—After a good rain
last night, and a brisk norther to-day, Terrell
had a fine day for the election, which passed
off quietly, 885 votes being polled in the city.
No estimate of the result can be given till to-
morrow.
Lampaaa. County.
LAJft'ASAS, November 4—The city precinct

Ireland. Both claim the victory. Upon the
question of the city controlling the public
schools the vote stood 10 to 1 in favor. No
disturbances of any kind occurred.
Liberty County.
Liberty, November 4.—At this hour, 12 p.
m., returns from three boxes indicate that Ire-
land has 100 majority; Douglass, for state
senator 50 majority ; Stevens, for representa-
tive, 250 majority.
Marion County.
Jeeferson, November 4.—Information re-
ceived at this place from all parts of the
county indicate that the following persons
have carried the county: Wash Jones, gov-
ernor, by 1000 majority; Culberson, for Con-

ture; McLean, district judge, Mosely, oounty

Hart, collector; Cooke, assessor; Taylor, sher-
iff; Brautly, district clerk, and Schlutor,
county attorney.
McLennan County.
Waco, November 4.—Very little interest
was manifested in the electiou here, and a
light vote is the consequence. The city, out of
a vote of 1500, will give a Democratic majori-
ty of 400 for the entire ticket. The county
will increase this majority to 900 or 1000,
Morris County.
Daingf.rfield, November 4.—The election

land is far ahead in this county, with Jones

passed off very quietly. The vote here is the

scratched considerably and will run behind

dleton, the free-grass candidate for tho legis-
lature, received the unanimous vote of the
Democrats. His election is assured. An-
drews, candidate for floater from Tarrant,
Dallas and Rockwall, will probably receive

Payne. The majority for the Democratic
national ticket is estimated at 3500.

turns can be made until to-morrow. The vote

gress, will probably carry the county, his voto
being ahead of the state ticket. The vote for
Jones is large, but will not equal his majority

for the legislature, is probably elected. Felix
Smith, Democratic candidate for the legisla-

Democratic nominee, was defeated by the op-
position voting single-shot for Lae. Haines,
Republican, gets a large vote for the stato
Senate. Morris, for couuty attorney; Brown,
