MaSsa ch llsetts.


BOsroN, Nov. 40 A. M.-NOtwithstand-
ing the number of tickets in the field, the
public interest in the election here is not SO
deep AS was expected. Long. Rep, will
probably be elected by from 1900 to 5000,
although Butler men talk about carrying
this city by l2,Q00 plurality, and the State
bv 1000. Tue election up to this hour has
been remarkably quiet
BosroN, Nov. 800 p M.-The returns
from all quarters indicate the election Of
Butler, showing immense gains every.
where for the Democrats. Hull goes for
Butler and the proverb is, "As goes Hull
30 goes the State"
New York.
New York. Nov. 4.-The election in this
city and State TODAY created nsderable
interest in betting circles last night and it
is estimated that not less than quarter Of
a million d liars has been invested in pri-
vate and anong tine b ok-keepers of this
citv. Cornell, the Republican candidate,
was the heavy iav' rite and book keepers
were laying 5000 t., 800 that he will win.
The odds ainst Robinson were $500 to
500 against his being elected, while odds
of 500 to S100 were laid that Cornell wonld
have 10000 majority over b til Robinson
and Kelly. At TIE Fifth avenue hotel last
niaht one bet of 81, 900 to 500 was maHe
that Kelly would defeat Robinson in the
CITY and county. and $1,000 to 5000 was
vagered twice that Mr.. Kelly would poll
$1,000 votes in this city.
All the leading sportsmen who backed
the favorite horses during the race meeting
were laving heavy odds on Cornell, and
one would judge, from the manner in
which money was being invested, that Cor
neil was alrea1y practically elected. At
the Ashland House several bets were made
on the number Of votes Kelly, Robinson
and Cornell would poll in the city, and Mr..
Kelly was heavy favorite over Mr.. Robin
sOn.
To-day. e.ec'ion day, being leoal holi-
day, the banks and exchanges are all closed,
and there is q general suspension Of busi-
ness in financial and commercial circles.
NEW York. Nov. 4.-Tlle weather remain
ing clear and bracing there is every indica-
ton of heavy vote being polled in this
city. The voting in the different districts
began as soon as the polls opened at six
o'clock, and is going on steadily. Places of
business are generally closed and the day
devoted to the election work, which is be-
ing carried on in very quiet and orderly
manner. At 1890 a. IN. the election is pro-
crossing quietly. Kelly, for Governor, is
running very we'll. but not equal to the
Tanimany County ticket The latter is
polling large vote, and at present appears
that it will poll mainly the same number
Of votes it has in former years.
New York, Nov a. P. M.--The vote
for John Kelly Is MT s, large as antci-
psted. In the districts above fourteenth
street the vote will be light The sNpposi-
ton that he would receive majority of
the Irish vote was proved fallacious by
noon. s,a. ..st..
$50 P. Mt is the opinion now among
.amnany men that all their county ticket
is beaten excepting McAdam Judge of
the Marine Court. The Republicans gen.
eraitv resec.aad tn vote f,r the Tammany
county tickets in order to obtain votes for
Cornell for Governor.
In the Senatorial and Assembly tickets
nowever, th,re has been consi cradle trad
ing. In the Sixth Senatorial District
Jacob Srebacler, Tammany Democrat, was
