Election Excitement Abroad. London, Nov. 7.—The excitement in the American oolonies oi both Paris and London continues at fever heat over the close presidential contest in America. The suspense resultant from the delay in arriving at a decision as to whether Mr. Blaine or Mr. Cleveland is to be the next occupant of the White House, has had the effect of rendering some of the more pronounced politicians on both sides almost craiy.

This may be depended on. Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut stand unshaken in the Democratic column. The "Solid South" presents its unbroken front of 158 votes. Mr. Cleveland has been fairly elected and he will be the next president of the Unite 1 States." New York, Nov. 7.—The Sun says: "The latest returns received by The Sun, up to the time when this edition goes to press, Indicate that the contest for the presidency has ceri. inly narrowed down to the state of N«jw York. West Virginia is no longer doubtful, having swung into the Democratic column. Michigan is now sorely Republican. The closeness of tho result inr this state has caused unparalleled excitement throughout the Union. In this city thousands crowded around tho bulletin hoards yesterday and last nijzht eagerly recdiu? and discussing the latest returns. Hundreds of telegrams from all parts of the country asking how New York stood poured into this office last night. The Sun's special returns continue to show n small plurality for Cleveland, although the latest revisions of the returns have steadily cut down his majorities in the rural districts. The Associated Press returns, collected TDy election districts, differ from those of The Sun by about 1,000, giving Cleveland a very small i lura.ity.

The Republican national committee rejoices that the returns now received warrant it in announcing the triumphant election of Blaine and Logan. The Republicans have carried every northern state except New Jersey and Connecticut. Virginia seen* also to have gives a majority for the Bopublican cause aud ticket, and there is « strong probability that West Virginia hat also. While other southern states are still in doubt, the northern states alone, however, give to Blaine and Logan 225 electoral votes, and insure* their election. New Tom*, Nov. 7.—The excitement in this orty over the steotion remains unabated and thOBWifteo* fmoM visited the two national ILLINOIS. ♦ted quarters in hopes of aeoertaining something definite a* to the remit The hotels were also crowded with anxious throngs, and at the Hitman house offers of three to one were made that Cleveland had carried the state. The Seventh Regiment band marohed down Twenty-fourth street and serenaded the Democratic headquarters. The street was paclsod by at least 5,000 people who kept up a roar o. cheers for Cleveland, followed by a cry of "No, no, no, *78," and ••Gould, Gould, Blaine." The excitenant is intense and seems to be increasing. The crowds are very enthusiastic, yet good natured and so far orderly, althsMgh sorts of rumors are in circulation as to what Is likely to occur should the returns be delayed much longer. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Blaine carries Cook conntv by about 6,000, and the state by ibout .99,000. Ogleeby, rep., for governor, loses Cook county by about £,000, but will carry the state by 15,800 or leea The Tribune still claims New York state, also Michigan Mid Wisconsin. Indiana is conceded to the Democrats, as is Virginia and West Virginia.In New York attempts to tamper with the returns bare already been detected. The war faction, however, entertained the patriotic idea that the emperor had been insulted and took the stand that active hostilities should be inaugurated. For nearly s month the Chinese council of state have bald daily sessions and awaited ths result oi pendjng negotiations with Franoe on tht basis of the May treaty FLORIDA. The actual vote oast in New York city, Kings county and 1,862 other electoral preoincta gave at the utmost only 148 plurality to drover Cleveland, while 163 precincts not yet beard from gave 8,171 plurality to Garfield. There is, therefore, no ground for doubt that the honest vote of the state haa been given to the Republican candidate. And although the defeated candidate for the presidency is the head of the election machinery in thin state, the Democratic party which has been the party of fraud in elections for year*, will not be permitted to thwart the will of the people. The National Republican committee calls on tbe chairman aud the Individual members of all county committees to take tbe promptest and strictest means to protect the sanotity of the ballot. The Republican candidates have been hopestly elected beyond a question. Any attempt to cheat the people and to d*teat their will thus expressed at tbe polls mutt be sternly exposed aud resisted by every law respecting citizen. B. F. Jones, chairman.
