Comments of the Metropolitan Press.
New YORK, Nov. 3.-The World says:
'EIn this State the Democratic State ticket
| appears to have been elected by a majority
| of at least 10, 900. In almost every county
there are reports of Radical losses as COM
pared with the vote for Grant. Gen. Sic
| gel ran ahead of his ticket in this and other
large cities, and his total vote probably ex-
ceeds that cast for Mr.. Greeley or any 9TH
er candidate on the Radical ticket. At this
writing, A. NJ, the Democrats appears to
have secured a majority IN each branch OF
the State Legislature, though full returns
may record majority in the Senate to the
| Radicals"
The Herald says: ''The returns of our
State indicate the success of the Democratic
| State ticket but the Republicans have the
working majority in the Legislature. The
Democrats lost heavily in the city, but the
| Republicans lost heavily throughout the
State. The election has gone by default
in a short vote, after the fashion of the late
| October elections In this city the vote,
as compared with last year, shows a Demo
cratic loss of over %, 600 and deficiency
in the aggregate vote of nearly 40, 900. To
sum up. the general results in the State
Will signify practically little or nothing
without change in the Legislature, which,
according to our latest returns, appears to
be more strongly Republican on joint bal
lot than the last"
The Tribune says Shameless and
cunning frauds have again defeated the
Republicans in the general vote ofthe State.
The gain polled here yesterday by the |
Republicans cannot have fallen below |
10000. While we have a handsome ma
iority in the Assembly, we fear the Senate |
has been lost by fraudulent votes and I'M
worthy wrangles among the Republicans |
in certain localities.
The Times says: THE Republicans |
gained 20, 600 in the city, but the Repubi-
can counties return badly. The Demo
cratic State ticket has probably carried the |
day entire. The efforts of the Democratic |
leaders appear TO have been chiefly devoted |
TO reversing the control of the State Sen |
ate, and the election of a majority of the |
Assemblymen, more especially the former, |
with the purpose of bringing the Senate III |
accord with Gov. Hoffman"
The returns to-day show that the State |
has gone Democratic by not over 10, 600

indicate a Democratic maj ority in the State |

the Assembly stands Republicans &C, Demo
