THE EARTH IS OURS.

AND THE FENCE. AROUND IT. New. York is Republican and Harrison is Elected. - .3 ■ CONNECTICUT IS CLOSE, BUT PROBABLY REPUBLICAN. Indiana was in Doubt Put is now known'to be Safely RepublicanEleven Thousand Plurality in New York.

Benjamin Harrison is President Elect of these free and United States, and Heaven be praised. There is no doubt whatever, about the matter. His election is now conceded, by everyone. All the Republican papers of yesterday morning said he was elected, nearly all the Democratic said the. same, and the few that did not, admitted that he probably was. The Brooklyn Eagle, Democratic, of last evening, said Harrison would have 225 electoral to 176 for Cleveland.

From the very first all the dispatches from New York have pointed to the certainty that the Republican majority in the state at large would overcome the Democratic majority in New York City and Brooklyn, and leave the state Republican, by a handsome plurality, and the completed count has verified this expectation. The very last Associated Press dispatch from New York, taken from the wires at 12 o’clock, last night, says: “New York.—The total vote of all counties in the state, including New York and Kings counties, show pluralities for Cleveland of 78,956, and pluralities for Harrison of 90,147, making Harrison’s net plurality in the state 11,191,” Eleven thousand is not such a very immense majority in New York, but it is large enough to *‘do the business” and is a great.deal larger than the pitiful eleven hundred by which Cleveland squeezed in, four years ago.

Connecticut is probably Repub< iican, by a small plurality, but Harrison is elected without it. Indiana is also very close. The very last dispatch received last night, after the returns.from about half the,precincts in the state dhad been received, stated that the Republican gains, so far, had wiped out all of Cleveland’s 5,500 majority of four years ago, except 398. If the rest of the state does as well, in proportion, Harrison wiH have the state by or 5,000 plurality. The samp dispatch also said that Mr. Shecfin, the secretary of the democratic national committee says that it looked like Gen. Harrison had carried the state but that it would require the official count to determine. All the states which have been reckoned as reliable Republican states, have gone for Harrison beyond a doubt. The complexion of the next Congress is still in doubt. The N. Y. Evening Post, yesterday, put the Senate 39 Repub’icans to 37 democrats and the House|l63|Republicau, to IGS Democratic. The 9 o’clock edition of the Indianapolis News, last evening, says it looks like Harrison had carried this state. -It also states that Connecticut is probably Democratic The Democrats no longer deny that New York is for Efarrison. The News ’also says that the next Congress will be Republican, by 12 to 25 majority. The dispatches of yesterday indicated that West Virginia,, was Republican. In any case, its legislature is Republican, and will elect a Republican Senator.-

Over - 'm Jackson tp., Newton" county, the sly Democrats prevailed upon about 30 Ornish citizens to turn out and vote the democratic ticket, by stuffing them with the free whisky chestnut- In spite of this, however, the township came in with their,accustomed majority. The Ornish, by-the-way, very seldom vote, it being against their religious principles.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Mrs. Forbes of Chicago, is with her son who is still quite sick, at the residence of John T. Ford. Mrs, Juliett White and daughter, Isabel, of Braceville 111., are the guests of Mr., Mrs. and Miss Nelson. • , Miss Anna Draper left on Saturday, to take charge of a school in Union township. Jacob Rich made a speech in the interests of prohibition, in Newton county, last Saturday night. About the best speeches of the campaign in this place were those given by Messrs. Alfred and S. P. Thompson at Republican headquarters last Saturday night. Even the Democrats must admit that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred; Thompson were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Mclntire. If the writer of these items had control of a Republican paper, the name of Mrs. Gougar should never appear in its columns. It is notoriety the woman seeks and and pants for, and it would be better to relegate such work as that to Democratic sheets. After a residence among us and a pastorate of more than fifteen years, Rev. J. B. Crowe will take his departure from Remington this week, for Witchita, Kansas. A large number of the friends of Mr. Crowe and his estimable wife, called at the parsonage Monday evening to wish them good-bye and God-speed.
