The Result.

htoGAs
We gave last week the substantial re.
suit Of tho November elections except in
New York More complete returns how
ever show the overwhelming character
Of the republican victmies Wisconsin
elects Smith, republican, by majority
that has never been equaied except in one
OF the Grant campaigns. Pennsylvania
also gives republican plurality over the
democrats of some 10000 and II clear NIT
jrily over all of some IS, 900.
The result in New York is not yet defli-
ntely settled rs to all the candidates. The
Kelly built buried Robinson, Cornell hav-
ing $4,000 TO 10000 plurality over the
regular democratic candidate. There
were six oher state Officers voted for.
The republican scrachers were bound TO
defeat two of the republican candidates,
Cornell for governor and Soule for engi-
neer. The Kelly democrats on the other
hand devoted their attention 10 defeating
Robinson while they voted for all the rest
of he democratic state ticket.
Therefore the republicans, notwithsand-
ing their large plurality for Cornell, can
MT claim that the state is republican, nor
Can the demerals who have elected Sey-
mour over Soulc for engineer by some
10000 votes claim that the state is demo-
cratic. 1t may be justly said that Cornell
owes his election to the KelIyites and Sey.
mour owes his to the republican scratch
erS.
As to the remainder of the ticket con-
Acting claims have been made by both
prlirs. each claiming at times that the
remaining FIVE candidates on its ticket
were chosen. Yesterday the supervisors
met in each county and canvassed the
returns from the several towns but the
Official result is not yet known here.
These county returns will hereafter be
canvassed by the state canvassing board
which consists of present democratic state
officers who for the most part are candi-
dates for reelection. There is little ground
however for the talk that any of the can
d;,lltes on the state ticket will be counted
OFT of any majority which they may have
received.
While the republican papers claim that
Hoskins is elected Lieutenant governor
over Potter it seems to us more probable
that the latter will be found to have crept
in by II few hundred votes, though the vote
is so close and returns from some counties
20 conflicting That it is not certain and
lIoskins has IL bare chance of success. The
returns that elect Hoskins seem to US moi
TO give Potter as large majority as he
really has in Rensselaer, and Kings coun
ties, the vote of Brooklyn in the latter
county being treated by the Tribune rs
though it comprised the whole of Kings
county.
As TO the rest of the ticket wo think the
republicans are successful by from two to
oi ii, III nAnl m rity, and that Carr
