THE ELECTION IN NEW YORK.

The result of the election held in New York on
Tuesday last is still in doubt; but there was a
bIackFeppbican majority Of about eighty thousand
TO overcome, this very doubt shows the magnitude
of the democratic gains The New York News of
yesterday morning says st.
ave have but moment to speak of the result of our
election yesterday. In the city have secured mag
nihcent majority, reaching probably $4,000! electing
everything the democratic ticket fusion and all
kinds of combinations the judgesfour senator's
seventeen members of assembly district attorney-re-
gister--in fact, everything.
1.-THE from the interior OF the State looks favor
able we believe we have carried it, but the returns
too scattering to enable to arrive at any definite con-
cluon 1t must not be forgotten that 80 600 Is large
majority for the democracy to beat down. but we hope
we have accomplished it, We have at least honos
and we doubt not they viii be awarded us"
The Herald introduces its tables of reported ma
jorities with the following remarks
Below viii be found all the of the election in
this State made out from the reports received up to two
o'clock this morning
They placed in comprehensive form as 1t Is
possible to do and will indicate pretty clearly the turn
which the has taken 1t will be that the dem
ocac star is again in the ascendant in New York. and
viii appear brighter and brighter still the full vote shall
become clearly developed III the returns from all
parts Of the State show the republican losses and
democratic gains indicated in tables the demo-
cratic State ticket is elected, xxx.
.sThe number of votes poled is small compared with
that of 1885, when the three great champions of the diff
feren organizations in the field but that fact was
fully anticipated such is invariably the after a
presidential election
In another part Of the paper the Herald adds:

district which last fall gave majority of four thou
sand against the democratic party He has been
turned by three four hundred majority. The returns
from other parts of the State incomplete but the ndi-
cations strongly in favor of the of the demo-
cratic nominees for State and judicial Offices We give
details, far received elsewhere Sundry regu
ations enforced at the polls yesterday which
duced materially to the preservation of order during the
voting No booths boxes for the distribution of tickets
allowed to be placed within hundred feet of the
polls and the glass ballot boxes used for tho
first time They looked WELL and preventive against
frauds, should be generally adopted in large cities.
