city returns not in yet and the country returns
are very contradictory The State will be close
m.-Returns from the State come in so slowly
that it Is doubtful whether the result on the gen.
eral ticket will be known tonight. The Republi-
cans have nearly all gone home SO despondent
| over the result in New-York and Massachusetts
that they did not care to sit up to count small gains
| and losses in Pennsylvania. An immense crowdsur'
rounds the Democratic Headquarters, and the
leading politicians inside confident
that they have carried the STATE
by about 5000 majority. AT the
office of The Press Republican victory is still hoped
for on the strength of few returns from country
districts announcing small Republican gains The
returns outside the city foot up thus far about 4OOO,
and of Republican gains 1000.
