THE STATE.

Hoffman is elected Governor by about his
returned majority of two years ago-say $4,000.
We have gained nearly the whole of it in this
City and Brooklyn, and lost it again by apathyin
the rural districts Our gain here is entirely due
to the action of Congress and the President,
whereby the fraudulent vote cast by repeaters
and nOn-citizens has been cut down about $4,000.
But for the action of the Federal Government.
Hoffman would have had at least 10000 ma
jority here, without polling one more legal
vote than was cast for him yesterday. Had
the Republican vote come out as fully as the
Democratic, Hoffmans majority in the City
would have fallen below 10000.
The heavy Democratic vote drawn out in
this City is the result of Municipal plumber.
We believe that fully 10000 persons are draw
ing salaries OF emoluments of some kind
from the City treasury. Some of them
work for it. when not wanted to
swell Democratic professions or mass meet
ings others do nothing whatever for the saa-
aries or pay they receive, but draw them and
sign the requisite vouchers. We respectfully
advise Messrs NJ. o. Roberts. j. j. Astor a.
Co., not to buy any more City real estate
until well assured that their taxes are to
be lighter than those they have helped to
fasten on the rest of us. Take from our
misrulers their power to draw money from the
City's taxes wherewith to run their machine,
and they could not elect Oakley Hall Mayor.
In the River Counties, we have handsomely
held our own, rejecting Gen. John II. Ketcham
to Congress from Duchess and Columbia by
an increased majority, and electing Mr.. st.
John (whOm The World announced as put
up to be beaten') from Orange and Sullivan,
whence George w. Greene Dem.) was re-
turned by wholesale fraud two years
ago; but the House redressed the
wrong by giving the seat to Gen. Chas. II.
Van Wyck, who received a majority of the
legal votes But we have lost the Rensselaer,
and Washington district by most unfit nom
inatiOn, and we presume the Saratoga district
by an unhealed feud brought over from last
year. Both these districts are strongly Repub
lican, but the vote could not be concentrated,
and they are lost
In the Onondaga district, X. Holland Duell
Irregular Republican canddate) lis elected over
Dennis Mccarthy Qate Member), also Repub-
lican.
We hope to announce tomorrow that the
is Republican, but it may have been
lost through feuds. Two Members from Mon
roe County have thus been thrown away.
This election has not developed the strength
of the Republican party. Our full vote is not
out by scores of thousands. 1t will be differ
ent two years hence. BE patient

is reported

we are compelled to send our first edition
to press without full returns of the election
for Congressman in this City and Brooklyn
but we presume that nine Democrats mostly
Tammany) are elected from the first nine
Districts of our State.
NEw-JERsEY did good days work yester-
day. JOHN W. HAzLEros goes to Congress
from the LIST District by large majority
JOHN HILL is reelected by largely increased
majority; and our returns justify the hope
