TIE ELECTION In BROOKLYN.

Falling on in the Democratic VOtc-The Can.
didates Elect -Rcpublican Gains In tho
sennte, Assembly and Municipal Omces.
There was nothing talked or thought Of in Brook
lyn yesterday but the election and its result The
democracy were jubllant and the republicans were
downcast and angry at their defeat. They have
raised the ancient cry of fraud at the ballot box,
and declare their intention OF contesting the cleo
ton in several districts. They claim that the
repeaters were too busy, and that the vote
In the Second ward was greater than The
number or male Inhabitants. The republicans
have called meeting, to be held at the headquar
tiers, the Post ONCE, to-day for the purpose
arranging for a grand Indignation mass meeting
The democracy laugh at the charge and congratu
late other upon the result, ana point tantaliz
ingly to the footings Of the State ticket In Kings
county an expression OF the verdict OF the people
as rendered at the polls Tuesday. They claim
that the opposition which they met with
had alone the effect Of drawing out the full
expression or the popular voice. and the echo was
confrmatory OF the approval which vas accorded
them. Be that as 1t may, the districts and wards
complete upon the state ticket show falling OH IN
the democratic poll OF from SIX thousand to eight
thousand votes. This fact chargeable against the
Tammany frauds. Tne most bitter complaints are
made against the manner IN which the canvass or
the election returns was made in Brooklyn. The
law requires that the State ticket shall be the first
counted by the canvassers. The worthy gentlemen
filing the important trust, however, disregarded
this requirement. or the law and canvassed the re-
turns just as they pleased. AS matter OF conse-
quencc, instead OF learning the party vote as ex-
pressed by thevOte for Secretary or State by eleven
O'clock the entire vote IS not yet III al Police Head
quarters The canyassers were painfully Interested
In ward and Assembly tickets, which were sand-
wched between an odd district canvass for the
State and city Offices. 1t was dreadfuly bungled.
The chici source OF cleaning Information was that
furnished by the HERALD Branch once in the
square near the City Hall. There very large bull
letln erected upon which the brilliant rays OF
Drummond light, from the balcony OF the Bank
House, on Fulton street, near Myrtle avenue, shone
with an ennlgcnce truly greatiul 10 those who
thlrsted after the Information which alone to be
had at that Office.
