THE PHONOGRAPH-
Tb Flr.1 .4it.oi. lo Hrr4 - I'ublU
opeerb bf lb In.iruiurnt.
New York dispatch: The first attempt
to record a public si-eech by weans of
. fV.
the phonograph was roaae iuui'j
at a democratic rally iu the
Park rink in Orange. Very few of the
oon nrewnt knew that the curious fun
nel-sbaped arrangement just in front of
the platform was there for that purpose.
Tt in fuct reuorted the greater portion
of Governor Green's speech and that of
ex-Senator Winfield. The funnel, seven
feet long, looking like a huge cornuco
pia, was placed in front of the platform,
with the large end minting towards it
The small end was connected with the
transmitter of the phonograph, which
stood ujon a table about nineteen feet
distant from the mouth of the speaker.
Owing to lack of accommodations the
large end of the funnel was not so
placed as to secure the best results. It
was six feet lower than it was designed
to be, and was not directly in front
of the shaker. Nevertheless, the ex
periment apprs to have been
very successful . The phonograph was
operated by Theodore Wangemann and
an assistant, who are connected with tuo
Edison labratorr. Eighteen cylinders
were used and the portions of seeches
which were taken occupied nearly two
hours. Each cylinder would last about
seven minutes, and then it had to be re
placed with a new one. There was a
slight break, caused by the changing of
the cylinders, but this difficulty can easi
ly be obviated by using two machines.
The breaks, however, are not serious.
At the Edison libratory yesterday after
noon the change was accomplished in
eight seconds.
After the meeting an exhibition was
m'ven of the powers of the instrument
Several persons put the tubes to their
ears, and the pleased and wonder struck
expressions of their countenances testi
fied that they heard and understood
what the machino said. Among these
was D. A. Dugan of the Orange Herald,
who claims the honor of being the hrst
to publish a speech reported by the
phonograph. Mr. Dugan says that he
could hear not only every word distinct
ly as reported by the machine alter it
had been carried" to his ofiice, but he
could distinguish the inflections and
hear tho applause and cheers
and music of the band as plainly
as though they had actually been
repeated. The advantage of the phono
graph over stenography, he says, is that
one can get a faithful reproduction of
the whole scene. Its accuracy ran be
absolutely relied uiion. At the Edison
laboratory the .phonograph was put in
operation, and tho reporter, by putting
the tubes to his ears, heard the perora
tion of ex-Senator Winlield's speech.
"Protection, protection for monopolists
and trusts," said the phonography It
sounded as though one were siuiug in a
large hall close by the platform and list
ening to a speaker of deep, sonorous
voice of extraordinary power. So real
did it seem that one was surprised not
to see the orator who.ie vehement ges
tures ho could picture. At the conclus
ion of the speaker's remarks there arose
a perfect storm of cheers, mingled with
tho dapping of hands and the stamping
of feet. There could be heard a con
fused mass of sound?, as of an audience
rising to their feet and di-persing, amid
conversation, lau"ijt r and tho playing
of a band. The phonograph does not
confine itself to the utterances made for
the benefit of the public During one
of the speeches the chairman of the
meeting addressed a remark to a brother
politician, over which they both laughed.
Both the remark and laughter were re
corded bv the transmitter.
Gen. Harrison Receiving the News
Indianapolis dispatch: Gen. Harri
son spout the evening in his library re
ceiving election bulletins over a private
wire running to tho main office of the
Western Union. During the afternoon
a number of friends and neighbors
dropped in to eongralulato him. Buiny
weather has been a safeguard to the
. general so far as escaping midnight and
i noisy demonstrations around his resi
J deuce. He was in a very cheerful frame
. of mind to-night, reading tho bulletins
Complacently and explaining from timo
to time to a little group tho significance
i or importance of this or that statement
or bulletin.
Among the callers were Judge Wil-
liatn A. Woods and wife and C. W, Fair-
banks. J. S. Harrison, of Kansas City,
! the general's only brother, arrived this
morning nnd was among his guests.
The member of the family were in and
' out of-the library during tho evening,
as were .Mrs. Harrison's guests, Jlrs.
lirown, of West Virginia, and Mrs.
Strickle, of Dayton, O.
About 11 o'clock the ladies retired,
and it was not long thereafter before
tho general did likewise, leaving his son
and Mr. McKee to sit up for the late
returns. Some 050 precincts in Indiana
hod lieen heard from np to that time,
and being one-half the state the 2-eneml
figured a few moments on this bulletin
and then stated with some degree of
satisfaction that the average net gain of
about six and three-fourths votes to the
precinct was being maintained. At this
rate lien. Harrison s plurality will be in

Ixdiaxa. From nearly complete re
turns from all congressional districts, it
is claimed that the Indiana delegation
in congress will stand, democratic 8, re
publican 5. Harrison's majority will
not be less than 3,000, and probably
5,000. The state ticket is elected by
about the same majority.
Iowa. Sixty-one counties (complete)
give Harrison a net gain of 10.5S3, or a
plurality so far of 245.0OX). The remain
ing thirty-eight counties will probably
raise his plurality to 84,000.
California. LAte tins aiternoon mo
count had been counted m HO precincts
in this city out of a total of 176, and the
result is as follows: Cleveland, 26,9S1;
Harrison, 2i,110. Republicans claim
the state by 500.
Wisconsin. Returns are coming in
slowlv. but enough are in to make it
certain that the state has gone for Harri
Ann bv at least 18.000. and probably 21,
000. Chairman Usher, of the demo
cratic committee, concedes the state to
the republicans iy lilaine s plurality in
184, which was 14,500.
MissofBL Official and semi-official
returns have been received from ninety
of the 114 counties in the state, and
with advices from the remaining twenty-
four show that Cleveland's plurality will
exceed 25,000. Francis, for governor,
will have a plurality over Kimball of
about 12,000. The republican state com
mitteo now concede, the election of
Francis, but by a very small plurality.
Colokaiio. Returns ore slow. Tho
republicans claim 13,875 majority in the
stute, a gain of 6,000. and alao claim
every member of the lower honse and
20 out of 2fi senators. Returns show the
entire republican state ticket, except
three members of the legislature, is
elected.

ceived from the capital of the state an
nonnce that the democratic state treas
urer, Thompson, concedes tho state to
the republicans by fiom 400 to 700 ma

the heavy republican gains that have,
been coming in to-day. The republican
state committee here claim to have at

tion of four congressmen.
Michniaw Harrison's plurality in
Michigan will reach 2J,0!)0 ngain-,t'3,3"0

Elk Point (Dak.) special: A most out

Massachusetts. Gen. B. F. Butler
speaking at a republican meeting to
night said Mr. Cleveland would have
been elected but for his tariff message,
which was like a school boy's composi
tion. The victory was a western one.
New England towns gave Cleveland ma
jorities, but they ought to have known
better. 'Tho tariff would bo reduced
more than either the Mills bill or the
senate proposed, but the duties kept on
would be permanent. The general also
thought the republican congress would
curtail Southern representation to cor
respond to the extent to which tie ne
groes are deprived of their votes under
the fifteenth amendment. Mexico would
bo annexed to tho United States.
Oiikuok. Three-fonrths of the re
turns of Oregon ate in and show a 10
per cent larger vote than in June, and
ftlKiut 10 per cent increase in tho repub
lican majority, which will be about
10,000. Allen, rep., is elected to con
gress by about 5,000 majority in Wash
ington territory, a republican gain of
over 7,000 since 1884, The territorial
legislature will be republican in both its
branches.
It-Lrsois. The Chicago Tribune says
the returns from all the counties in Illi
nois on the for vote president and gover
nor show that Gen. Harrison has carried
the state by over 21,000 plurality, while
Fifor has run ahead of Palmer over 13,
000 votes. While these figures are not
claimed to be absolutely correct, as esti
mates are made in resrard to man v conn-
ties, they may serve to show the general
result, uenerai raimer, at Springfield
last night, gave np the fight, and ac
knowledged that Fifer had beaten him.'
It will probably require the official can
vass to decide whether Cook county, in
cluding the city of Chicago, is demo
cratic or republican.
Indiana. The republican headquart

Califokvia. The count of 118 pre
cincts in the city out of 170 give Ham
son 24,y0, Cleveland 27.C.I3. The re
publican state committee claims the
state by from ten to twelve thousand.
The democratic state committee con
cedes the state to the republicans, but
by a small majority. The latest figures
indicate the election of four republican
congressmen. Three of the congress
ional districts are very close.
The Burlimrton Changes.
Chicago disatcU: H. 11. Htone lias
been appointed second vice president of
the Chicago, Rurlington k Quincy sys
tem. E. P. Ripley succeeds Mr. Htone
as general manager of the Chicago,
Burlington k Quincy east of the Mis
souri river. The changes took effect
to-day.
In mentioning the changes the Times
prints the following: "The stand taken
by Mr. Stone on the labor question is
said to have had nothing to do witn
bringing about the present change in
his dntics, as his course during the
strike, whether prudent or imprudent,
was sanctioned, and perhaps to some
extent directed, by those higher in
authority. At the same time, it is the
belief, of many disinterested persons
that the change will have the effect of
calming the prejudices that exist in cer
tain quarters on account of the attitude
of '.he management during the strike,
snd will therefore be beneficial to the
company. There is some speculation
as to whether Ponl Morton will succeed
Mr. Ripley in the position of traffic
manager or remain at tho head of the
freight department. This seems to bo
a question not definitely settled."
Mrs. Oen. Harrison.
Washington dispatch: Mrs. Harri

who will gladly welcome her as mistress

siastic admirers said yesterday: "You
