NEW. YORR cry ELECTION

The REsULT-The polls opened in this city ct sun.
rise yesterday morning under the new law, at EIeHTY
there provision for registry of votes until the
fall election, il followed of course that the facilities
for the frauds habtuey practised by the Loco FocOS,
Interchangeable hundreds Of illegal votes poIled
zaton Of TWENTY-FIVE HUNpREDT FOREIGNERS naSn
within the last six days-and with U. s. ships anchor
ed the shores Of city and hundreds Of sailors
and marines pouring in their Notes.-The Wings have
not only retained their POSITION but actually reduced
the majority Of their opponents since the last fall cleo
ton
Mr.. VARIAN is reelected Mayor BY something less
than -tttee" hundred majority; and the Loco FOcos
have carried the same wards they did last year:
On the whole then, the Wings here, and at dis
tUnce have reason to rejoice in the Of their
efforts. 10 have reduced as we have, the loco foeo
majority in this city, under all the Disadvantages that
we have been compelled to contend against-with
eighyour instead of seventeen pos at which to crowd
in their illegal voters, with the Marine Court in full
and with the whole band Of Custom House officers,
and hundreds Of U. s. sailors and Marines to sustain
the desperate fortunes Of reckless and sinking ad-
minisraton Wings oil this city have accomplish
ed even more than we had any well founded reason
to anticipate. They have demonstrated beyond all
future cavil, that the State Of Ne.Y York, under any
contingency. will give her vote for HARRISON and RE.
Forms and that even this city, when the purity of the
ballot box is secured by registry of Uoters will give
to the Wing ticket In November next, triumphant
majority.
On this suspicious result, cordially congratulate
our wing friends throughout the United States This
is the strong hold of the Administration Here they
could and did bring bear upon u.s. all their influence
and al their power. The army of custom house off,
GERS alone were taxed SEVENTY THOUSAND THREE HUN
DRIED DOLLARS: TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED FOREIGNERS:
were made citizens to order, secure loco foco mis-
rule-and whole gangs Of illegal voters passed from
pol! to poll recording against us the votes purchased
by corrupt and unprinciped government. From
so unequal contest, had every thing to appre-:
bend, and our opponents every thing to hope. They
bet freely on fUe thousand ma ority and behold it is
less than it was last fall They confidently predict
ed majority which would warrant them in claiming
the state next autumn and alas for Loco Focoisnn
they have been wofullv disappointed. Again we,
say, let the Wings rejoice in this suspicious result as
it clearly and emphatically proclams that the State
of New-York will give HARRISON and TYLER clear
majority OF more than FIFTEEN THOUSAND in November
next.
We annex the returns from the different wards as
we find them in the New-Yorker Of Saturday. which
paper being neutral in politics. is presumed to give as
correct accounts as any other in the city. The wings
carried five wards, and the administration twelve, the,
same last spring. The administration majority
last spring was 1882
