Tammany Triumphant--The Apolloites
Tricked by the Republicans.
New YORK. Nov. 1.-The election
Of the Tammany county ticket IS gen
orally conceded, with doubts about
Donahue for the Supreme Court, and
the contest is exciting only in the As
sembly and Senate districts.
Tom Murphy and Col Lester Arthur
are said to have charged Sheridan
Shank and Commissioner Van Mort,
two other representative Republicans,
with DESERVING the combination ticket
and giving their support to William
Walsh for County Clerk against the
Republican and Apollo Hall candi-
date, Jacob NJ. Patterson. Murphy in
retaliation is reported as threateningto
call off his Republican voters from
McCool, the combination candidate for
Sheriff. and he in turn is said to be
urging his followers to defeat Murphys
plans and TO vote for Walsh.
Various Tricks and DOdges.
The fight in some of the Senate and
Assembly districts is bitter, and the
police commissioners are showing their
hands. Some Tammany inspectors
have been arrested and Apollo Hall
Democrats substituted. This is in the
interest of the combination. A few
fights have occurred. In several cleo
ton districts both inspectors and poll
clerks failed to make their appearance
at the appointed time, but the vacan-
cies were speedily filled by others who
were sworn in.
Night Dispatches.
9:15 p. Mt is claimed the city has
gone Tammany Democrat by from 15,-
900 to 10000 majority. If the latter
figures prove correct there is not much
doubt but the State has gone Demo-
cratic by several thousand The cleo
ton of s. s. Cox to Congress is con-
ceded Returns from Brooklyn indi
cate Hunter, Democrat. for Mayor, has
been elected, and the Democratic ma
iority of that city for Secretary of
State will probably reach 5000.
LATER-5 additional towns from
the interior towns of the State give
net Republican majority of go; net
Democratic gain l 1893; net Republican
majority in the III towns thus far, B.
1856: net Democratic gain 2,S72.
For Secretary of State-Brooklyn,
23d ward complete, Thayer, 339 major
ity; 18th ward complete, Weller, rs;
Thayer, 10; 2lst ward complete, Wei
Ter, 1925; Thayer, 1,031.
Rensselaer, county gives a Republi-
can majority of 1000.
Thirty nine additional towns and dis
tricts give a net Republican majority of
571. Net Republican majority in %
towns and districts, 5,801.
Poughkeepsie City gives a Demo-
cratic majority of 81, Democratic
gain over 1872 of S36.
1GP. Mn this cityso far, the vote
upon the State ticket is greatly mixed,
owing to the attempted combination
between Apollo Hall and the Repub-
licans. Despitethe early closing of the
polls and the expectations of early re-
turns from even the remotest part of
the city, the returns of the election
have been slow, the delay being due to
the necessity officials are under of can
wasting the very long list of names en-
braced in the general ticket. At this
hour, returns of the vote for Sheriff
are still lacking in a number of dis
tricts, but the total figures received so
far leave no doubt of the election of
Conner for Sheriff and Walsh for
County Clerk by large majorities. The
vote for Sheriff, thus far, stands: Con-
ner, Democrat. q 1892; McCool, Re
publican, 11,548. For County Clerk,
| Walsh. Democrat, 1880; Patterson,
Republican, Il, 400.
11:30 P. M.-Returns from over one
third of the city indicate the majority
for Conner for Sheriff, $1,000; Walsh
for County Clerk, 1900. Ten election
districts in the Sixth Congressional
district give S. s. Cox, 1,193; Wads-
worth, 45S. The vote on the Judicial
amendment to the State constitution is
so trihing as to be scarcely worth men
tioning, and certainly not worth can
wasting tonight.
11:35 P. M.-Returns Of half the
city give Conner majority of IA, 600;
Walsh majority of 1868. Sixth Con-
gressional district-Wadsworth, 3,151;
Cox, 1927.
lao P. M.-Returns from So addi-
tional districts and towns in the State
show a net Republican majority of l.
1874. At this hour the total returns
| from 256 districts and towns show a net
Republican majority of $500; net
Democratic gain over the vote of 1871
of 1881. Elmira gives 235 Democratic
majority. In Brooklyn, Hunter, Dem
ocrat, for mayor, elected by about 1000
majority.
IA. Mp to this hour the total
returns from 3S4 towns outside of this
city and Brook yn. show a net Republi-
can majority of l3,20l, and net Re-
publican of 1320l, and a net Demo-
cratic gain of 1919 over the vote of
1871.
"a. M.-The Democratic State tick
ct has majority in the city of about
| 5000 and majority on the county
ticket of about $1,000. Returns from
80 additional districts and towns, in
Guiding the city of Rochester, show
net Democratic majority of 1874,
which is net Democratic gain Of l.
CO.. This reduces the net Republican
majority in 42l districts to 1857 and
increases the net Democratic gain out
side of this city and Brooklyn to H.
sol. Kings county, including Brook
lyn, gives a Democratic majority of
$500 on the State ticket.
Bib A. M.-To-day has been one of
the quietest, if not the quietest cleo
ton days for many years. All the
public offices and most of the whole
sale stores were closed. No excite
ment and scarcely any crowds, even
around the polls.
ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Indica-
tons are that the Democrats have car
ried this county. by 1000 majority.
The Election i'm Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov. 4.-Ex Mayor CASTOR
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, is receiving a handsome vote in
Boston. Scattering returns from all
nartS Of the State show rather light
