WARRINGTON, Nov. 5.
The overwhelming majority by which the

ness Of the majority was due partly to the ab-
sence Of number OF anti-silver Congressman,
who have gone to New York and other neigh
boring States to participate in the elections,
but if all the absentees had been present the
bill would nevertheless. have commanded con-
siderable over two-thirds majority. Page,
Pacheco, Luttrell, Williams and Wren voted for
the bill and Davis against it. All the Pacific
coast men, except Wren, voted against Ewing's
motion to move the Resumption Repeal bill
from the morning hour and allow direct vote
upon it. The total vote against this motion
was very small. The passage of the Repeal bill
by the House is. Of course, a foregone conclu-
sion but its fate In the Senate is doubtful, with
the chances apparently against it. Little or no
doubt Is entertained, however, that the Senate
will pass the Silver bill, though very possibly
with some amendments.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 0.
The indications are that the Republican State
ticket ID elected by q small majority. The
Democratic majority in this city is under 90.
600. and in Kings county it is under 4 1000, and
perhaps not over 1900. This shows Demo.
cratic loss of 1900 to $4,000 as compared with
the vote Of 1875. while the returns from the In.
terror indicate that the rest Of the majority Of
that year has been overcome.
The workingmen and Greenback candi-
date for Secretary Of State, JUNO, seems
to have made heavy run in the Western part
OF the State.
It now seems that Tsmmsny elected three
