New YORK, November 5.-The Sun says
Winchester Britton, ex-District Attorney
Of Kings county, has been retained to
bring the action for divorce Of Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague against ex-Gov. Sprague.
He will have the papers ready for service
in a few days. Britton. on his visit to
Providence last week, framed replevin pa

NEW YORK, November 5.-The Sun says
Garield's majority in the State is about
20, 200.
The Tribune's figures on the State cleo
ton foot up %, 900 majority for Garfield.
seventy-fve counties are estimated mod
erately, and later returns are expected to
show $4,000 majority.
The World says: Additional returns Of
Tuesdays election in this State have in
creased Garfeld's majority above the fig
ures given yesterday, in the counties of
Allegheny, Oneida, Orange, Steuben and
Herkimer. and decreased his majority in
Columbia, Jefferson and St. Lawsence;
while Hancock's majority in Albany coun-
ty is increased 1853 over previous reports.
The latter county has done exceptionally
well, and gives Hancock a majority Of
1888, against 1,180 for Tilden in 1876.
The changes made Mr.. Garfeld's apparent
majority in the State 14,467. It will not
vary much from $4,000.
John Kelly blamed for the Demo.
cratic Defeat in New York.
New YORK, November 6.--The Sun says:
From ditch to ditch. deeper and deeper
into the mire. John Kelly leads the Demo-
cratic party. We are tired Of drumming
up recruits for the Democratic party, to
have them, at the end Of four long years,
led. not to victory. but into the ditch by q
laundering political manipulation.
The Times says: 1t does not seem to have
occurred to our Democratic contempora-
ries, engaged in finding party s~capegoats,
that the chief need Of the Democracy is
more intelligence, more conscience, more
votes. 1t is the party that Is responsible
for Kelly and Mclaughlin, and they who
who have endowed the party with ignor-
dishonesty and scurrihty, which rem
der their existence possible. When Kelly is
dethroned and Mclaughlin banished, the
headship OF the party in New York and
Kings county will still be the prize Of some
vulgar, mercenary ~demagogue. The DEM
ocrats who object to .sbossing'' should
find Q new party. The majority of
their associates are perfectly content with
their masters. Both factions of the De-
mocracy, both here and in Brooklyn, are
each other heartily over the result
Of the election. Each accuses the other Of
l~noapacity and incompetency, and the quar-
rel bids fair 70 create even q wider breach
between the factions than already exists.
