NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-There are q coun
ties yet to hear from. Both parties claim
the State by very small msjorities.
The Hersld's election estimates give to
Grant % States and to Greeley s, or 266
electoral votes for Grant to 80 for Greeley.
The popular msjority for Grant is placed at
$50, 900. The Herald editorially says :;
Nv Whether the result will be accounted for
By the popular strength of Gen Grant on
one hand and the weakness of Greeley and
the fee bleness Of Liberals combined with
the Democratic bolt on the other hand-in
many respects ii is the most remarkable of
any Presidential election In the history of
the country"
J The Tribune gives Grant 260 electoral
votes ct the lowest and 50 for Greeley, with
the rest doubttul. There is scarcely a
parallel" 1t says, sin the completeness Of
the rout and triumph" 1t says: Liberal
ism could not withstand the enormous out
lays of money expended by the Republi-
can canvass. Grant now has four years
of power, with heavy Congressional ma
| iorities, And whatever reform he may seek
to effsc he will have the aid of the Tri-
| bune."

due to the d DsmocrRcy's surrender to Gree

upon the New York ring operations of &
year or two ago, which dIsheartened the
party and caused the nomination at Balti-
more. The party had not recovered in time
from the Tammany tAints to do anything
Until too late"
The Times gives Grant 800 electors
votes and Greeley only 43, the bslaucs doubt
ful.
The San says: "The Liberal Republi
cans have been faithful 10 their pledges, bu
the Democrats have beaten Greeley by no
coming out to vote.'
The Tribune adds: The Liberal move
ment was at one time formidable and hat
prospects of success. Had not millioni
been expended to arrest its progress IN th'
State elections of the last three months, /
might have swept the country. The Liber
al Republ strength Of North CArClini
and Vermont was nearly neutrslized by tn
Democrats, who would not eat crow whel
