600. Kellv's vote seems 20 have been
somewhat larger i'm the State than was
AZ first supposed, but as it has uot been
reported by all the counties it Is difficult
10 saw what the total will be. tits prob
able. however, that it will not
fall much short Of 10000, in
Gliding New York and Kings counties.
The legislature is strongly marked. The
next senate will consist OF % Republi-
cans and Democrats, with the Eighth
district doubtful, the election being
claimed by both the Republican and
Democratic candidates, Robert IL.
Strahan and John W. Browning. In
the Assembly there will be 92 RePu6li-

20 brsak down some of the other Demo-
cratic nominees a. well ~ Governor
Robinson. The Republicans have doubt
less secured two-thirds majority IN
both branches Oi the Legislature, though
tbrse or four districts are
still in doubt. The Democrats have
elected their senator in ConSllng own
county. and 10 is oteWOrthy that there
a. well as i'm II. Lawrence anu IN Jeuer-
son counties both OF them strOngholds
of the Republicans, the Democrats made
decided gains this year on their last
vote for Governor. The whole vote LOT
Kelly throughout the STATE Will not
much exceed 10000.
The Tribune saws; COrnelIs pluraiity
seems slightly increased, and Il now eS-
timated M more than 5000. The vote
on Lieutenant-G Governor is very close
between Potter and Haskins, and the
official vote NAV be needed To decide.
Potter's majority in New York ana
Kings counties is 5I,36S, and Has
kin's plurality in State, outside oI New
York and Kings counties Is estimated
at $1,000. Only about one-third
OF the whole number OF towns
have been heard from, however. Re
turns upon other candidates are incon-
elusive, but seem to show that ,NadS-
worth is running ahead of Haskins.
The result on all of the State officers be-
low Governor, is still in tine dark. Soult,
Ranublican candidate for Engineer and
Surveyor, runs behind. The Legislature
is overwhelmingly Republican. The
Renublicans elect - Senators out OF 32
and % Assemblymen ont OF l2S-wlthlh
six of the almost unprecedented num-
Der OF Republican Assemblymen elected
last wear.
