NEW YORK CITY.

| NEW YORK, November 5.-The World
elects Is Democrats and IL Republican
senators; also SO Democrat and 65 Re-
| publican assemblymen in this State.
The only question about the State ticket
is the Democratic majority. The Times
says it is slight, and the World claims
/ Is, 600 majority. The Commercial Re
! publican cOnceeds the election of the
Democratic State ticket by 10000 ma
jority.
| The associated press returns tonight
| places the citydelegation to the assem-
| bly,: Fourteen Tammany, six Republic
cans, and one Apollo-hall, four Deme-
cratic senators and one Republican.
Sunset COx's majority for congress
in James BrOoks's old district, is 1929.
| Counts are not yet complete at the
police-headquarters, at least the totals
cannot be obtained.
The EUeninq Post heads its leader,
'The Lesson of the Elections" and
says: If the elections of yesterday had
been confined to the State of New York,
we should ascribe the defeat of the Re-
publicans to the very serious errors COM
mitted by the Offlce-holding managers
who have cared more to secure the sue
cess of their particular friends than to
establish the party on an enduring basis
of principle. But the reports from
other States bring US results of very
much the same character, and show that
the common cause is to be sought for
effect. Everywhere we think the evil
dence goes to prove that there has been
no real gain in Democratic strength, but
prodigious falling falling of in that of
the Republicans. The reaction against
the ruling powers has not been neg stive
so much as positive. One evincing
apathy and dissatisfaction on the part of
the friends of the administration rather
than the determined opposition and de-
sign of the revolt, is that large number of
the people who have expected a more
intelligent, decided and vigorous policy
on questions of pressing interest, and
been disappointed. They have hauled
themselves out of the fight in order to
watch what is going to be, and to hold
themselves ready to join that
body of combatants who are the
best fitted to deal with the affairs of the
country in their actual position and cir
cumstance. The Express is jubilant,
and calls it political revolution. 1t
says: 1.-The State OF New York is again
Democratic, and the county of New
York is also Democratic, and both re-
suits, we trust, will prove to the advan-
tage of the State, of the city, and of the
whole country"
ALBANY.
ALBANY, November 5.-The Albany
EUeni7lg Journal claims that nineteen
Republicans, twelve Democrats, and
one independent are elected to the SEN
ate. 1t puts Thompson, in the twenty
third district, and WoodwoOrth, in the
twenty-siXth district, as elected, al
though both are in doubt. 1t says re-
turns for assemblymen are so incom-
Dlete that its table may be changed.
The total vote on the State ticket in
this city was 19l 1886. The Democratic
majority in this city is 81, ,9S1, on the
secretary Of state, which is considered
as test vote. The vote in favor of the
annexation of Westchester has been al
most unanimous in both counties, so
that the union of the two sections is vir-
tually decided. The returns from every
county in the State indicate a clear
Democratic majority of 10,725. The to-
tai Republican majority from thirty |
seven counties was 80, 200, and the Dem |
Oeratic majority from twenty-three |
counties was 1856. These returns,
however, are not completed. A curious
feature of the county vote was, that |
some old Democratic counties, which |
had always cast q solid Democratic vote,
went Republican by a comparatively |
large majority, AMI Vice versa.
