When the dispatch dis-patch announcing that Governor Will had carried New York City by such a majority as to make his election almost certain was read at Tammany Hall, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The . : . : SHOUTING AND HUBRIULHING Could be heard for blocks distant. The Republicans Re-publicans early conceded the fact that the city had gone Deinooratio, but maintained until a late hour that the Btate had gone for Davenport. ' .. . . ; The election in this city was conducted quietly and earnestly. Of 216,003 voters who registered 200,000 went to the polls. The general feeling that the contest on the Governorship would be close caused the returns from this city to be eagerly looked for. It was generally admitted that if Hill could leave this county with 45,000 majority over Davenport his election was assured. He secured that majority, and the 11,CJ0 majority from Kings county added to the hopes of his party. His majority in New York and Kings county would indicate his election unless the interior should give Borne unusual surprises not to be predicted by previous experiences on average State elections. Carr ran but a few hundred ahead of bis ticket, and not sufficient to justify the hope that while the Republicans might not elect their Governor, they might their Lieutenant-Governor. Intense local interest was manifested in the contest on Sheriff. Returns began early to show that the issue would be between H. J. Grant, the Tammany candidate, and John W. Jacobus, the Republican candidate. A. J. White, the County Democracy candidate, was in the rear as usual on election night. The Herald heads its editorial : "The President Pres-ident holds his own State." The Tribune says : The Democrats retain New York, Governor Hill has been ELECTED BY A FIGUBE SO HANDSOME As to make the beggarly plurality which the State gave President Clevejand almost invisible. in-visible. The return of the voters whom Mr. Blaine's candidacy alienated did not make good to the Republican party the loss this year of the voters whom that candidacy attracted. at-tracted. In fact, the gain does not soem to have aqualed one-third or one-fourth of the loss. The stay-at-home voters decided the matter. The vote was light, but the Republicans Repub-licans who did not take the trouble to vote outnumbered the Democrats. A very much smaller vote than was cast for Mr." Blaine would have sufficed to bury Mr. Hill, but the Republicans were not aroused to cast such votes. i A CLEAN DEMOCRATIC SWEEP. Brooklyn, November 3.

THE "SUN'S" POINTED BEMABKS. The Sun saya editorially : "The . foolish pretense of the Mugwump organs that the success of the Democrats in this election would be inimical to Mr. Cleveland was spurned by the Democratic voters of the State. They were too sensible to be deceived by such nonsense. They voted as the Presi dent himself voted for the man who will hold up Mr. Cleveland's hands in his own State and strengthen the influence of his administration. This election again proves that THE STALWABTS HAVE LONG MEMORIES AND SHARP BLADES, Which they do not hesitate to use upon an enemy when they meet him. They had their reckoning with Sir. Davenport yesterday,and an iceberg melted before their burning wrath. There was one interesting fact revealed re-vealed by the returns. While New York city gave Governor Hill a plurality considerable in excess of that of Mr. Cleveland last year, and while Brooklyn gave a plurality far smaller than it gave to Cleveland, the country coun-try districts throughout the State showed large gains for the Democrats. New York, November 4. The Sun, in its second edition, gives Hill's plurality at 12,-395. 12,-395. The Sun's estimate on the State Legisla-. Legisla-. ture is as follows: Senate, Republicans 19; Democrats 13; Assembly, , Republicans 72; Democrats 56. DAVENPOBT AWAY BEHIND BLAINE. New York, November 4.

Washington, November 4. The President returned to Washington "this morning in a special car. He came alone, and was met at the station by Lamont. The President expressed ex-pressed himself as being much gratified with the result of the election in New York. Immediately upon his arrival at the White House the President sent the following telegram tele-gram : . .- Executive Mansion, . Washington, November 4, 1385. Hon. David B.Hill, Elmira: I have just returned from Buffalo, and learned the result re-sult when nearly here. I heartily congratulate congratu-late you on your election. Gboveh Cleveland. Complete and corrected returns from the city of Brooklyn and Kings county make Hill's majority in that county 8,687. Very few returns from the interior received this morning, but everything indicates that Hill's majority will be between 12,CD0 and 15,0C ). The Senate and Assembly will both be strongly Republican. The Evening Post says: When the full figures of yesterday's vote in New York are received, they will make an unusually interesting inter-esting study. At present it is possible to consider only the pluralities for the State as a whole. These show plainly that if the vote for Davenport in the State at large had been as full as it was in this city and Brooklyn, he would have been elected. He was, in fact, defeated by what always has been considered the Republican stronghold of the State, the portion north of the Harlem river. Hill's total vote in the city falls over 9,0CD behind Cleveland's, Cleve-land's, and Davenport's falls over 14,000 behind Blaine's. The transfer of Tammany's Tam-many's total vote from Blaine last year to Hill this year ought to have made a greater change than this, and the fact that it did not indicates that many Independent Democrats Demo-crats did not vote for Hill. - |
