THE ELECTIONS.


patches concerning Yesterdays election. At
that time we had, however, heard that the
result in ninety towns in New York led the
Know Nothings in New York city to believe
that their candidate for Secretary Of State,
Headley, has beaten Ling, (Fusionist y his
plurality in them being telegraphed at 10000.
Forty-eight districts in the city give Ward,
Hard Shell 1890; Headly, Know Nothing, g.
600 Hatch, Soft, 400; King, Fusion, 1900.
Erastus Brooks, the Know Nothing candidate
for Senator has large majority.
NEw YORK, Nov. THE returns from the
interior towns indicate that the Fusion ticket
is gaining the Americans.
About half the City returns are in, and the
Know NOthings lead the Hards 1000 maj
Orleans County gives the Know Nothing
State ticket a maj. of 200. Last year the
Know Nothing candidate for Governor had
plurality Of 452 votes.
LATER.-Returns from twelve additional
city districts show that the Know Nothing
ticket is gaining largely.
Seven wards Cf Troy city give Headly,
know Nothing,) I,17O. Last year the vote on
the GcVernOr'S election in the entire city, con-
SlStinE Of ten wards, stood thus: Seymour
{Scft,) / 9l2; Clark, (Whig,) I,410; Ullman,
thIOw Nothing,) S2l-shOwiDg an immense
Know Nothing gain.
In New York city, the liquor interest seems
TO have gone for the Hard ticket, which, we
think, secures the election of r. B. Connolly
as county clerk, who was also nominated by
the SOfts. In Troy, what are left of the Hards
seems to have been completely swallowed up
by the Softs and Know Nothings, the latter
getting most of them.
The secret understanding between the Know
Nothing and Hard State committees appears
70 have been carried out faithfully; as out Of
the city, while the Know Nothings increase
largely in the Hard strOngholds, the latter
have dwindled to a shadow.
According to the dispatches received before
IL M, the Softs are licked out of their boots,
the real contest being between the Know
Nothings and too Eusionists
MASSACHUSETTS.
The returns from this State for Governor
and State officers are being received The
vote in Boston for Governor stands thus
Gardiner, the regular nominee of the Know
Nothing party has 1912; Beach, Democrat,
1900; Valley, Wing, 2,572; and Rockwell,
Rel ubiican, 1904.
Boston, Nov ct is thought from the
cCmIl exion Of the returns that Gardner the
Know Nothing candidate has been elected
Governor by plurality Ct from | 900 to I, 500
votes. The indications are that the Know
NOthings will also have a majority in the Lee
5islatUre.
Gov. Gardiner has undoubtedly received a
plurality Of the votes Ct the State. and is,
therefore, elected beating Rockwell, perhaps,
10000, and Beach, it may be, 10000.
NEW JERSEY.
In Trenton, this morning, the Democrats
claim to have carried the State, which, in the
absence Of definite returns does not strike US
as very reliable.
Cape May county gives majority for the
American ticket In Burlington county, Fen
nimcre, Dem, is elected to TIE Legislature by
les maj In Salem county, Hills, X. n, is
elected to the Legislature. In 1853, Cane
May county gave IL, Salem 10, and BurIing-
ton 334 Wing mali
IN Monmouth county the Wings and know
Hothlngs elect two Assemblymen and the

The Know Nothings are said to have carried
