State IL looks, at present, as II Potter and
Seymour were elected by small majorltles
but the vote on the State ticket, from Lieu
tenant Governor down, IL 90 close that u
will probably take tho official returns to de-
termine 1t. The Herald concludes: New
York ID still the debatable ground OF the
Presidential canvass. with nearly equal
chances to both parties.
The Sun says the vote for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treas-
urer and Attorney General are very close
Both parties cOnCede that the returns are
made with provoking slowness, and from
only n few counties has full vote been re-
ceived. :.
Cornells plurality may reach 10000 and i
may IN cut down to $4,000. but there Ia little
doubt but what II will range between these
figures. There are enough missing returns
to make tho Lieutenant Governorship liz
doubt.
The Suns returns give majority OF 2162
for Potter. These figures may be diminished
by the Official returns enough to elect Hos
kins, but the Democrats still claim Potter 8
