The election in New York city passed OF
quietly and proved surprise. Total city vote
Tor Governor-AlonZo b. Cornell IS 0i0; LuciuS
Robinson, IS. SIS; John Kelly AZ 1856: Lieutenant
Governor, George G.: Hoskins 1861; Garrison
N Potter, 90. 5i3 The vote on county Officers
is remarkably close, with Indications however
that the anti-Tammany party will elect their
county officers by a small majority. In 12S dis
tricts in Brooklyn the total vote Is as follows
Cornell, q, 500; Robinson, 30 909; Kelly, OS1.
The World admits that Robinson is defeated
but claims the election of the rest of the state
ticket by 10000 majority. 1t comedies the
legislature to the republicans. Governor Robin
son viii have about 5000 majority in Kings
county. The democrats elect most of their
county and all OF their city ticket.
Cornell has plurality as far as heard from
in the state outside of the two cities of 80 ooo
over Robinson, which gives him net plurality
OF 5,0Go, and secures his election For Lieuten-
ant-GOvernor and the rest OF the state ticket, on
which the democrats were united, New York
city and Br9okyh give Potter an aggregahe
state, as far as known can hardly overcome.
But the Tribune and Ti!neS claim the repub,i-
cans have elected Hoskins and the rest Of the
state ticket by from 5 010 10 10 900 majority.
There is no dispute that the legislature Is re-
publican by decisive majority, the number OF
which cannot yet be stated.

with figures already given, shows a falling off
of 14,O00 votes Discussing the results of yes
terday's voting, the Boston Jo,u'nat says
"While the majority against Butler is not so
it might have been had republicans in many
localities put forth the effort OF last year, it is
Suf1iciently emphatic to show that Massachu-
sets is under most adverse circumstances a
thoroughly republican state" The Boston Her.
