NEW YORK.

NEW lORE, November 6.-The Erening
Post has the following special from AL.
bany: Great excitement exists here rela.
tive to the result Of the election rs to State
officers other than Governor The heads
OF department and clerks at the State
House manifest much anxiety to ascertain
the latest phases OF the canvass, and dis
patches are passing back and forth be-
tween this city and New York with great
frequency. 1t is believed Tanmany cut
Alcott badly ont Of revenge. In other
parts Of the State the Democrats fear that
Wadsworth, Republican, for Comptroller,
run ahead OF the ticket. The feeling
among Robinson Democrats is bitter to-
wards the faction that has wrought the
mischief. Beach, Democrat, is believed to
DO reelected Secretary of State, and Sey-
mour, Democrat, for State Engineer, is
thought to be safe If any. Windell's, Re.
publican, friends refuse 10 give up the
claim that he is elected Treasurer. Fears
are entertained that in the count there is
to be repetition OF the uncertainty OF
the last National election.
The Albany Erening Journal claims there
is good reason to believe part at least OF
the Republican ticket, besides Cornell, is
elected, Its latest figures give uaskins
amajority OF 455 over Potter. 1t also
makes Cornell's plurality 42,4S4.
New YoRE, November Gin regard to
the vote on the State ticket the Herald OF
this morning says: Another day has pass
ed, the the third since the election, with
out settling the fate OF any officer on the
general State ticket, except Governor.
The utmost that can be said is that the
voting runs universally close in the case
Of every one of them, and that the proba.
bilities still favor the success Of the most
Of the Democratic candidates.
The Sun estimates Cornell's plurality at
$500, and Potters majority at 1920. The
rest OF the Democratic State ticket, it says,
seems TO be elected by small majorities,
although it admits that the wards have SO
increased the vote over the other Repub.
lican candidates in New York City that it
makes the contest for Attorney General
very close.
ALBANY, November6.- argus claims
the election OF the Democratic State off.
GERS, but does not estimate the majorities.
The Express (Rep.) claims the election
the whole Republican ticket, except Soule.
The Press and Knickerboekcr (Ind.) figures
up the returns, and says the Democratic
State officers ought to have plurality Of
3,l44.
The World says: The most authentic re-
turns received at the World Office elect Mr..
Potter by from 5000 to 10000 majority.
Mr.. Seymour, for State Engineer, is elect
ed by still larger majority. There ap.
pears to be no doubt OF the success OF Mr..
Beach, for Secretary Of State, and OF Mr..
Mackin, for State Treasurer. Tammany
cut the city vote for Mr.. OlcFtt, for Comp.
troller, and Mr.. Schoenmaker, for Attor-
ney General, so extensively as to reduce
their majority considerably in this city,
and in these cases 1t may require the oti.
Cial returns to determine the result.
The Times says: The latest returns from
the sixty counties in this State, while they
reduce Cornell's plurality by a few hun
dred, show an apparent majority and q
great portion OF the candidates on the
petitors. ]. W. Wadsworth, the Repub.
lican candidate for controller, has received
several thousand more votes than any Of
his colleagues, while General Joseph B.
Cara, the candidate for Secretary Of State,
came next in point Of majority.
The other names on the ticket stand
in the following order, as regards the
sizes OF their vote: Hamilton Ward, At
torney General; Nathan D. Wendell,
Treasurer, and George G. Haskins, Lieu
tenant Governor. Mr.. Howard Soules'
chances Of success are not so good, but his
defeat is by no means certain. According
to last nights returns Cornell will have a
plurality Of 1852.
Additions to the vote OF the remainder
oil the ticket are constantly increasing the
pluralities. The present figures indicates
that Haskins has about 1000 more votes
than Potter, while Mr.. Wadsworth has
nearly 5000 more that Mr.. 0lcott. Mr..
Kelly's vote, as far as returns foot up, is
72,26S, while Harris Lewis, the Green.
back candidate, has only received 1882.
