The State probably goes Democratic by a reduced majority. Republican gains are noted in nearly every precinct. The estimated Democratic majority inis New Jersey is 7,000. NORTH CAROLINA. AnTncfeasedlJemocratie' majorityover 1884, when Cleveland carried the State by 18,000. OHIO. Cincinnati gives Harrison 3,126 majority.

Hill ran ahead of Cleveland several thousand votes and is probably elected. Kings county gives Cleveland 82,447; Harrison 70,587; Fisk 1,935. In New York the vote was especially heavy. Cleveland’s majority in the city

is about 56,000, with Kings county about 68,000.

Republicans calculate now on 97,000 above the river, the figures, however, are scattering. Mr. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, is now in this city, and figures 66,000 in New York and Brooklyn for Cleveland. Late returns from Brooklyn place the majority in that city at 12,000 for Cleveland. We have New York. M. S. Quay. The Tribune bulletin says Hill is probably elected and that Harrison carries the State by 15,000 to 20,000 plurality. The Herald concedes Harrisons election. This opinion is based upon dispatches received from all the States in the Union, and which may be divided as follows: “Cleveland —Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia—l6B. “Harrison —Colorado, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusettz, Michigan, Minnesota. Nebraska, New York, Vermont and Wisconsin—2o7. “Doubtful —California, Nevada and Indiana —26. == —; New York, Nov. 7.—A midnight extra of the Sun says: “The returns so far as received make it seems probable that Harrison has carried New York State by from 7,( 00 to 10,090 plurality, Cleveland has polled a handsome vote in New York city, his plurality being not far from 54,000, but he has not held his own in Kings county. His plurality here is about 11,( 00, which ina- loss of about 4,0b0 from 1884. 11:30 a. m. New York is’assnred Republican. ■r All the New York papers concede Harrison’s election. The Sun estimates his majority in New York State at

8,107; the Times, 7,567; the World, 3,000 to 5.000, the Herald, 14,000; the Tribune about 10,500. . 1,006 election districts ' north of Harlem river give Cleveland 198,753; Harrison 246,386; Fisk’ 11,585.

The questions that Bismarck settles are nothing compared to those that must be decided each autumn by the school boards all over the United States. The trustees of Middlefield, Conn., have recently had two very perplexing questions before them, which may best be explained in the words of two, of the educational leaders of the town. “Naow, here’s a tough case,” said the chairman. “I know haow the law stan’s when the parents live en one (ao vu an’ the children go to schule en another, but I’m darned es I’k’n see whut we’re tu du with these children wrho go tu schuleen one taown while’s parents live en another taown.” 5- “ • The secretary settled this point,' but later on in the meeting he was puzzled by this question: “I know what tu du with child’n,” he said; “but here’s them Hoyts, they’re orph’ns, an live with’r gran’parents, an’ the law don’t have no bearin’ on gran’children, so far’s I k’n see.” How this last point was settled is not known.

. Not long ago Bourbone Raffaele, an Italian workman on the water works at Dover, N. H., received notice that he had been drafted into the Italian army. He at once settled his small affairs and started for his old home.
