The Democrats Encounter nm Over
wheIminS Defeat.
NEW YORK, November 6.
The World says: The returns from the
State, on Court of Appeals, come in very
slowly. More attention appears to have
been given to the local candidates than to
the State ticket. The figures received,
however, indicates that George r. Bradley,
Democrat, is elected Associate Judge Of the
Court of Appeals. by from 5000 to 10000
majority. The World further says: By a
large majority Kearney must go; also by
a large majority Butler must go with him.
All the Journals, except the Star, are
jubilant over the result OF the elections,
and the overthrow of Tammany Hall.
The Sun says: We congratulate the
people Of this city, without regard to
party. and including the Tammany voters,
on the triumph of yesterday. Every mans
welfare has been advanced by it, and the
whole city will enjoy the benefit Of it. We
congratulate, also, the people of the State,
and Of the whole country, that a power so
dangerous to public liberties has been
Frustrated and crushed. The Democrats
have encountered an overwhelming defeat

reported to be elected for Judge
Of the Court Of Appeals. Thu result in
the Legislature is an amazing triumph for

range somewhere between so and GO.
