| NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, November 4-Midnight.-
The figures now to hand from outside the
cities of New York and Brooklyn
indicate that Cornell will come to
the Harlem river with plu-
rality of at least $4,000, against which
Robinson has about $4,000 in New York
city and about 10000 in Brooklyn. This
$4,000, which may be increased to $1,000 or
lessened to 10000. The Democratic state
ticket, other than Gov. Robinson is thought
to be elected by $4,000 majority. Both
branches of the legislature are Repub-
lican.
NEW YORK, November 5.-Later returns
increase CornelPs plurality to $4,000. The
publican ticket.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The Times
says: Cornell carried As of SO counties in
the state, and his vote will exceed Gov.
Robinson's from 10000 to $4,000. Kelley's
vote seems to have been somewhat larger
In the state than was at first supposed, bat
as it has not been reported by all the coun-
ties it will be difficult to say what the total
vote will be. The legislature is strongly
marked. The next senate will consist of "a
Republicans and Democrats, with tie
Eighth district doubtful, the election being
claimed by both the Republican and Demo.
cratic candidates. In the assembly there
will be 81 Republicans and SO Democrats,
giving Republican majority of Sc, and
securing Republican majority of ~ on
Joint ballot.
The World says: The returns from Tues.
days election in this state come in very
slowly. Such as have been received show
the election of Mr.. Cornell, Republican, as
governor, by an as yetuncertained plurality.
There is a majority against him ON the vote
cast in the state of at least 10000. Clarkson
n. Potter, Democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor, received in this city 81, 1872
majority, the largest ever gwen, except once
before, for candidate on state ticket.
With the rest of the Democratic state ticket
Mr.. Potter is elected. The Democrats have
elected their senator in Conkling's own
county, and it is noteworthy that there as
well as in st Lawrence and Jefferson coun-
ties, both of them strongholds of the Repub.
licans, the Democrats made decided gains
this year on their last votes for governor.
The whole vote thrown for Kelly through
out the state will not much exceed 10000.
NEW YORK, November In regard to
the vote on the state ticket, the Herald this
morning says: "Another day has passed,
the third since the election, without settling
|
ticket, except governor. The utmost that
can be said is that the voting runs unusually
close in the case of every one of them and
that the probabilities still favor the ST. ccess
of the Democratic candidates."
The Sun estimates Cornell's plurality at
$500, and Potter's ma ority at 4, $50.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BOSTON, November 4.-9 p M-Returns
as far as received indicate that Long, Re-
publican candidate for governor, is elected
by from 10000 to 1900 plurality, and this
turns. The Republican candidates for
state officers are probably all elected and
the legislature will be largely Republican.
The vote shows material falling off as com.
pared with last year.
Boston, Mass, November 5.-Returns
from all but eight towns give the following
vote: Long 121, ZIG, Butler 10S,507, Adams
1854, Eddy 1,473.

/ PENNSYLVANIA.
| PHILADELPHIA, November 81 A. M
As far as can be ascertained Butler, the Re.
publican candidate for secretary of state,
has majority of 37,002. There are still
81 counties to hear from, which last year
gave Republican ma jority of 5000, and if
the same rate of gains is maintained the
ajoritv for Butler will not be less than
$4,000. In Philadelphia the Republican
gain over the vote of 1878 is Is, 724.
PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-Estimated
and official returns from 81 counties out OF
81 in Pennsylvania give Butler, Republican,
for state treasurer, 61,778; Barr, Democrat,
14,146. Buffers ma ority, 1882. The in
dications are that Butler will have SO, 900
majority.
PHILADELPHIA, November Elm so out
of 81 counties in Pennsylvania, the vote
cast on Tuesday has been officially counted
and Buffers majority reaches Al, 021. The
II counties to be heard from gave last year
q Republican majority of II 1851. 1t is esti-
mated that the Republican gains in these
counties will give Butler over $4,000
majority.
JACKSON, Miss, November 4.-The cleo
ton passed very quietly. But little interest
was manifested and small vote was polled
throughout the state. The indications are
that the Democrats carry all but few coun-
ties. The complexion of the legislature
will be unchanged. The Greenbackers
probably elect part of their ticket.
JACKSON, November But fourteen
counties heard from. Of these eleven
a majority of $500. Kinds and Madison
require the official count; Homer is con-
coded to the Greenbaekers. with the excep-
ton of senator. Marshall county, consid.
cred the stronghold of Greenbacki.m, elects
the full Democratic ticket by large major
ity. The election passed quietly. A small
vote was cast There was but little enthu.
siasm except in counties where the whites
were about equally divided.
i VICKsBURG, November 6.-By the official
count the Democrats elect state senator, and
members of the legislature. Republicans
elect nearly all the county officers. Canton,
Madison county, elects a Democratic sena.
tor, two Democrats, and one Independent
to the legislature. The balance OF the
! Democratic ticket elected.
CONNECTICUT.
HARTFORD, November 4.-The net Re.
publican gain in the senate is four over last
year. and in the house eighteen. The Re-
publican majority on joint ballot last year
was AZ; this year is SO, and possibly e6.
