daed election districts out of 678 give Cor
nell 2O,472, Robinson 25, ,299, Kelly, 1867,
Hoskins 2l,724, Potter 43,003. Republi-
cans claim 10000 plurality for Cornell, but
are vet in doubt concerning the remainder Of
the State ticket
ltMidnight) The fgnres now in from
outside the cities of New York and Brooklyn
indicate that Cornell is elected. He will
come IN Harlem river with plurality or
81, 900 against which Robinson has about
$4,000 III New York City and 10000 in
Brooklyn. This plurality elects Cornell by
a plurality of $4,000, which may be increased
to Is 900 or decreased to 10000. The DEM
ocratic Stats ticket other than Governor
Robinson, is thought to be elected. Both
branches of the Legislature are Republican.

kins 35,72S, Potter 3,4S1.
New York, Nov. 5.--The World mourns
the defeat of Robinson, but thinks the end
of Tammany Hall has come. Kelly has sue
ceeded in defeating Robinson with the aid
of better men and annihilated himself. As
for Tilden he lashed his own political corpse
as closely as he could to che living candi-
date Of the Democracy OF New York, and in
the State has lost. The Democracy has
thereby been delivered Of an incumbrance.
The Tribune says: cit is victory
throughout. The future belongs TO the Re-
publicans. The New York election disposes
of the Tilden effort to kill John Kelly. He
is q bigger power to-day in the Democratic
party in New York than on any previous day
OF his political life. Defeat has put an end
to Tilden. He has made such 6ght as no
other Democrat in the State coald have
made. Under all disadvantages Of the situ-
alton Tilden has kept up the courage OF the
party, holding them well tegether.Hsjb

of two and nalf years from your city, dur.
ing which time have visited almost every
country ia the world, it is a pleasure to be
greeted in this manner by you. During my
travels received princely honors, but they
were all due to this country, and to you as

The Elections.

In Pennsylvania the Republicans
have elected Samuel Butler, Republi-
can, State Treasurer over Daniel o.
Barr, the Democratic candidate, by
large maiority-not less than $4,000,
and it may reach 10000. This large
majority is not due to any increase in
the Republican vote. 1t may be at
tributed almost entirely TO the apathy
and Indifference of Democrats who
could not be induced to go to the polls
on last Tuesday. In this county, the
Democratic plurality over Butler is
over 800. Had the Democrats polled
the vote they gave Mr.. Dill, which was
under the full Democratic vote, Mr..
Barr would have two thousand over
Butler in the county. In the county
about two-thirds vote was polled.
In New York, the Kelly bolt has
resulted in the election of Cornell, Re
publican, over Lucius Robinson, the
present Governor of the State and the
Democratic candidate for reelection.
Cornells plurality il variously esti-
mated at from 10000 TO 10000. There
is no doubt that Hon. Clarkson Potter
the Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor and the balance of
the Democratic State ticket have been
handsomely elected. There was no
division in the Democratic party ex-
cept upon Governor, and the result
shows that New York is still really
Democratic and may be counted upon
a certain to vote for the Democratic
candidate for President next year.
Maryland stands in the Democratic
column with old time frmness. For
Governor, VIM. I. Hamilton, Demo
crat, was elected by the usual Demo
cratic majority and with him the en-
tire State ticket.
In Massachusetts,. Gen. Benz. F..
Butler is again defeated for Governor
by John ID. Long, the Republican
nominee by plurality estimated at
$1,000.
Wisconsin elects a Republican Gov
ernor, as does Minnesota, and Ne
braska n Republican Judge Of the
Supreme Court. New Jersey and
Connecticut elected State Legislatures
and the results in both are favorable
to the Republicans.
From the Southern States that
voted on Tuesday the returns are very
meagre. In Virginia the election
turned upon the question Of the State
debt and it is supposed that the party
favorable to what is known ~ the Nc
Cullough compromise have triumphed
over the other party called the read
justers, or rather the repudiators.
From Mississippi we have but slight
returns. 1t is supposed the State has
gone Democratic. The election was
exceedingly quiet and orderly.
