GOSSIP AND sPBCULAT1ONS AROUND TIL
CITY HALL.

The excitement consequent on ithe recent elec.
tions was only slightly on the wane yesterday
around the public offices In the City Hall Park. As
the morning papers had efrectually squelched the
rumor that Lawrence had been elected by small
majority, by the publication Of oficial figures, the
fact that Havemeyer was the Mayor elect was ac-
cepted as certainty and the effect thereof among
office holders was one OF the mooted questions OF
the day. calm review oil the position

Country.


The following table represents the electoral
vote and the estimated popular majorities
according to the latest returns received up to
the hour of going to press this morning. On
comparison the figures below show that
Grants majoriies have been increased to a
considerable extent since the estimates Of Tues
day. The Presidents majority in California
IL is expected will reach 10000 and in Kansas
$4,000. The latest figures at hand from Mary
land show decrease in the estimated majority
for Greeley in Kentucky also the coalition
vote appears to have been overestimated. Vir-
ginia appears to be still in doubt, though the
republicans claim the State by more than 1000
for the administration, with several republican
Congressman. In Alabama the people are
becoming excited. The democrats have expe-
rienced considerable losses and it is thought
the republican State ticket has been elected by
small majority. Greeley, it is stated, ran
slightly behind the State ticket. Advices
from Tennessee show that of the recent
stumping trio Maynard has been elected
Congressman at Large, completely distancing
ex-President Andy johnson and beating
Cheatham by several thousands The enor-
nous majority of $4,000 is reported for Gen

him. So she set fire TO school house
that was also used as a place OF wor-

woman. The height OF fame to which
be attained was never reached, and
never will be reached. by any other
man. His name filed the world, and
groauirg millions raised their hearts
in prayers OF thankfulness because
the rays of his glory fell on their chains
and melted them. At the mention OF
his name tyrants trembled, Tor with it
was coupled that other terrible word,

thing to do, and he did it. He raised

down. And for merely doing this
