The New York World of to-day SAYS
The election yesterday resulted in an over
whelming majority for the Democracy. The
city did nobly, rolling up majority of 60000
both on State aud local judiciary tickets, in
total vote of 104, 1872
The rural districts have also done handsomely.
The Republican majorities have been reduced
in all of their stronghods, and some counties
heretofore strongly Republican have wheeled
into line in the Democratic column. The ma
jority in the State will exceed fifty thousand,
and we should not be surprised If full reports
show that the State has gone Democratic with
out the vote of this city. The result is Water
loo to the Republicans decisive and complete
rout.
The entire local ticket of Tammanyi is elected,
from Judges of the Court of Common Pleas
down to Assistant Aldermen. 1t is clean sweep
in all directions.
There was a sharp local contest in Brooklyn
over the nominee for City Judge, but the regular
Democratic ticket is elected. In truth, there is
nothing to mar our triumph in any quarter. 1t
is victory on all sides, in every direction, and
We give below reported and estimated ma
jorities from all the counties of the State. Full
returns will increase rather than diminish the
majorities.
The following are the successful candidates
for the new Court of Appeals
"a CHIEF JUDGE.
Sanford e. Church, Democrat.
ASSOCIATE JUDGES.
, William F. Allen, Democrat.
Rufus w. Peckham, Democrat.
Charles A. Rapallo, Democrat
Martin Grover, Democrat.
Charles Mason, Republican (probably).
Charles Andrews Republican (probably).
Unblusbins Frauds Perpetrated.
The Sun eays:-
The election in this city yesterday was, as the
sequel demonstrates q farce and moekery. 1t
s safe to assert that out of every fifteen votes
cast, fourteen were fraudulent Almost every
poll was entirely under the control of corrupt
inspectors, and organized bands of repeaters,
paid by the Tammany ring, at the rate of from
ave to fifteen dollars per man.
The police, seemingly acting under secret in
structiOns from their superiors,7 aided and
abetted the conspirators, and exhibited no in
clnation to check the tide of fraudulent voting.
The heavy penalties affixed by the last Legisla-
ture to the crime of violating the election law
produced no effect whatever. The system of
repeating" and 'ballot-box stuffing" was car
ried on on scale more extensive than ever.
All the public Offices remained closed. An
interesting feature of the farce was the voting
of the colOred element. Around about the booths
and at the voting places there were many
sharpers who endeavored to prostitute the privi-
leges of the African voters by inducing them to
vote more than once. Those who did fall victims
had some ludicrous mishaps.
The Result In the State.
The Times remarks:- ...-..-f .. ..
The vote cast throughout the State.was very
light. Republicans seem to have paid but little
attention to the election, allowing the Demo
Gratis to carry it their own way. The State has
gone Democratic by about $4,000.
New York City.
The Tribune has the following editorial upor
the result of the election in the city,
We thank the rufians and blacklegs who are
paid to do the voting of Tammany Hall fol
giving us so perfect specimen of their handi
work in yesterdays election. They did no
affect the general result, save by swelling ma
jorties already abundant; while they gave oul
citizens fair sample of their capacity and thei
disposition. ...,- $50. ...t.. -tl,
The legal vote of the city was about hal
polled yesterday; but the illegal was ont in al
its glory In most of the lower wards, more
fraudulent than lawful votes were cast; some o.
the voters making day of it by voting from
poll to poll-sometimes In the names of lega
voters whom they falsely personated.
The men who misrule and rob our city are
fully aware of these villainies. All the ma
chinery of police and of justice is completely IL
their hands. They could, by simply holding vi
menacing hand, stop these frauds at one; they
do not because they pay for and profit by them
Let us see what they win say and do of yester
days performance in their interest and for thei
benefit.
