FEARFULLY CLOSE!

■ 'i ■ BUT WE THINS WE’VE HOT EM* But We don't want to Crow Till We’re Out of the Woods*. Billy Owen Beals The Blatherskite. And Hammond illay Ptib Through. The presidential election has been so phenominally close that, although we lmvo delayed the publication of the paper for a whole day we are even 3 r et, unable to state the re«ult positively. All now depends on New York and dispatches from that state last night gave Blaine 500 majority, and all the precincts to be heard from gave Republican majorities four years ago. This makes it almost certain that Blaine is elected. Indiana is very close but the latest reports seem to give it to the democrats by a very small majority. In the Congressional district, Oweu is elected by a small majority. Ward is elected Judge in the 30th judicial circuit by about 450 majority. Dunn is elected Representative, by about 400 majority. In the Bounty, the entire Republican ticket is elected with the exception of Treasurer, for which office a Democrat is elected. The returns for the county .have come in so slowly that dven yet we are unable to give the exact majorities.in all cases. The official vote is being canvassed to-day and will be given in full next w r eek. The Result in the County.
