The Result in this State.
New York World. Nov. 5th.l

Our revised returns, which we publish
this morning, make the majority for Mr.
Tilden upwards Of 10000 1t is likely
to reach $4,000. The full returns increase
| the majorities estimated on the night Of
the election, end indicate that Mr.. Tilden
has received greater majority in the en-
tire State than that given in this city,
which is more than has been done for any
Governor, but in one instance, for quar-
ter of u century.
There is also complete change in the
complexion Of the lower branch Of the
! Legislature. The Republican majority
Of twenty in the last Assembly has been
wiped out and u Democratic majority Of
from twenty to twenty four substituted.
This secures a Democratic majority ON
joint ballot of from sixteen to twenty,
thus nsuring ,he election Of a Demo
, cratic statesman to represent this State
/ in the United States Senate The last
| time that the Democrats elected United
States Senator was in lS45. The fact
| that the entire State Senate held over
from last year has alone prevented COM
plete revolution in both branches of the
Legislature AS it is, the Senate has still
Republican majority of four, and for
one brief year more this will stand in the
way Of the reforms which the people
want, and which will be inauguiated by
Mr.. Tilden's administration. Another
year and the Senate will be placed in po-
litical harmony with the head of the State
| administration,
J n tho delegation from this State in the
n5resent Congress there are but nine
Democrats. This has been now increased
to nineteen, and perhaps twenty, gain
certainly OF ten--and that. too, in the
face of Democratic dissensions IN the AL
hany district, district which ought to
be one Of the surest for the Democracy
in the State Some of the changes in
Congressional districts are almost unpre
cedented. In the last apportionment OF
the State the Republican wards of Brook
lyn were placed in one district, and in
this city wards were divided, and the Re.
publicans placed in two districts, for the
express purpose of securing three dis
trietS in the two cities, which the Repub-
licans supposed could not be wrested
from them. But the Democratic and an
ii administration candidates have been
elected in all three Of these districts
When we come to the interior of the
State we find such hitherto strong Re-
publican districts as the Washington, the
Oneida, the Allegany, and the Chautau
qua electing the Democratic nominees to
Congress, while the Monroe and Orleans
district has been almost if not entirely
revolutionized.
The defeat Of Governor Dix, who was
two years ago elected by over 10000 ma
jority, and the election of the Democrat
ic candidate by over 10000 majority in
the State, tell the story of the change in
public sentiment and the uprising against
official lncompetency and corruption that
have taken place in the Empire State in
the two brief years that have elapsed
since the reelection Of President Grant
Not only is the Republican majority in
the State blotted out, but we are conf
dent that the official returns will show
that the Democracy have carried the
State by a few hundred majority without
