THE RETURNS OF THE LATE ElEC-
Tl0N
Still Held Back in Interior Countes-A
General Belief That the Republicans
are Repeating the lOuisi-
ana Rascality.

New YORK, November S.-There is
little change in the situation as regards
the election of the State ticket. Aside
from Governor, it seems to be conceded
that the Republicans have at least two
of the officers and the Democrats one.
The rest OF the ticket must remain in
doubt until the official returns come in.
The supervisors OF the county begin the
canvass on Monday next, and the State
ticket should be counted by Tues
day noon. Meanwhile the Democrats
are openly accusing Republicans with
scheming to count in the candidates in
several of the counties in which the vote
can not be obtained. The newspapers
have sent hundred of inquiring mes
sages, TO which the reply is: "We can
not get the figures" The returns at
hand have been gathered largely through
great effort. The Democrats yet
claim the election of Nr. Potter as
day, for the first time, claim the entire
ticket. Politicians from all parts of the
State are hurrying here, especially Re-
publicans. The Fifth Avenue Hotel
hasn't been so lively since the canvass
began; and the fact that Republicans
there are so sure OF success in the light
of proofs that point the other way,
causes Democrats much apprehension.
Ii is the same kind of talk that was
heard while the Louisiana controversy
of 1876 was going on. In the
event of any serious dispute,
the present State officers are
the Canvassing Board. Thus, Nj.
Beach, OlcOtt, Mackin, SchOonmaker
and Seymour would sit in review upon
their own election; but in this Return
ing Board there is no going behind the
returns. If the controversy should get to
the Court of Appeals, that body is Dem
Ocratic. The iangle over counting the
CITY returns is as bad as ever, and all
sides accuse the others OF crooked work.
Things were never in such confusion,
and the Strengthening OF them seems inn
possible. 1t was thecrookedest election,
with the croOkedest after-wOrk, known
since Tweed time.
ALBANY, November S.-The Journals
tables OF returns on the State ticket this
evening elect Potter by a-Inajority of 7S,
but it says it feels hopeful Hoskins and
sure of the election of the Others on the
Republican ticket, except SOule.
The Express Republican, tonight
makes Hoskins' apparent majority 427.
The Herald says that at Republican
headquarters the greatest confidence was
expressed that the entire Republican
ticket had been elected, even including
Soule, candidate for State Engineer and
Surveyor.
The SIMS returns give Potter a ma
iority of about 1000. HoratiO Seymour,
Jr., has nearly 1000 majority. 1t is
probable that Wordsworth, Republican,
for Comptroller, and Ward, Republican,
for Attorney-General, are elected. Carr,
Republican, for Secretary of State, runs
very close to Beach, with chances for
his being elected. Between Wendell,
Republican, and Macken, for Treasurer,
the race is running close.
The --latest Figures.
New York, November l0.-The san
OF this morning publishes the revised
returns from many counties in the State,
which show the following result: Potter,
Dem, for Lieutenant-Governor, 1881
majority; Mackin, Dem, for Treasurer,
l POP majority; HOratiO Seymour, Jr.,
Dem, for Engineer and Surveyor, 9,759
majority; Carr, Rep, for Secretary OF
State, 673 majority; Ward, Rep, for
Attorney General, 2,645 majority, and
Wadsw0rth, Rep, for Comptroller,
3 Og5 majority. The Sun adds that il has
been impossible to get the exact figures
from several counties, and from the
closeneSs of some of the results, it is
plain that the official canvass alone can
determine who are elected.
