TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

In New 7 ork Kelly has succeed
ed in his undertaking of beating
Robinson, the Democratic nominee
for Governor, and electing Cornell.
The vote in New Yo:k city divided
az follows: Robinson, 40 per cent,
Cornell, 80 per cent, and Kelly, %
per cent. The latter succe eded in
getting about Al per cent of the
Democratic vote Of the city, and
ran Lis vote up to 10000, more
than his opponents thought he would
secure. IL Brooklyn he cuts ri
diculous figure, rece; wing barely S
per cent of the Democratic vote
in the rest of the State ne appears
to poll about 9 per cent. The Re-
publican scratchers, who swore that
they could not and would not sup
port Cornell, that they would bolt
his nomination and scratch him,
while they voted for the remainder
Of the Republican ticket, appear to
constitute about 10 per cent OF the
Republicans of New York city.
In the country districts the Re.
publicans appear to have gained,
and will pull down the majoriti ties
of Ohio Democrats on the State
ticket below those of 1876. It is
probable that Robinson has CARR
ed New York city by 10000 and
lost the State by $4,000. The rest
Of the Democratic State ticket is
probably elected by from $4,000 to
10000 majority.
The returns from I'LL districts,
1926 in New York, 1913 in Brooklyn
and SCI in the country, gives the
following result: Robinson 1919,
Cornell 114,94l, Kelly 37,37S.
In Massachusetts, Butler has met
with another defeat, Long, Repub-
l1can, being elected Governor by
plurality over him of at least 16, =
900, as against $4,000 last year.
The Republican majority over the
two opposition ticket, in 1878 was
1918. 1t will be considerably less
this year. and will certainly not ex.
coed 5000. Mr.. Adams has not only
held all the anti Butler Democratic
votes cast last year, but has manag~
ed to secure few more. The ell
ection was evidently not as earnest
or as exciting as that Of 1878, and
the vote shows large falling off.
The Legislature is, of course, over
" helmingly Republican.
The fight in Virginia between
the Readjusters and Deot- Payers
brought out the largest vote polled
in that State for years. On the
question of the State debt the cd
parties we're split up and divided.
1t would seem, however, that with
few exceptions the Republicans dis
regarded the Presidents advice and
sustained the Rea djIsters. The
returns received last night show
that the De5t-Paycrs or Funde
have carried the city and county
of alexandria, the city of Freder-
icKsburg and Albemarl county,
while the Readjusters have been
successful in Harrisonburg, Stafford
county, Petersburg and Noriork
city and county. In the city of
Portsmouth there is a tie between
the two parties. Ia Richmond tie
F'upders carried the day unanimou
ly, there being no opposition to
them. n great many surprises
seem to have greeted both parties.
Fitzhugh Lee, one of the leaders
Of the Funders, has been defca ted
in Stafford county and Massie- the
champion and orator Of Readjus:ers,
beaten in Charlottesville.
In Pennsylvania. the Republic
can majority, thanks TO the apathy
with which the campaign was car
ried on, will be larger than we pre-,
dicted. The Republican majority
in Philadelphia is 30,06S, aud is
