THE STATES.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 5.-All the papers of
this city, both democratic and republican,
concede New York state to Garfield by a
majority of $4,000 to 25,O00.
LATER.
New York, Nov. 5-The Tribune's fig
ures foot up $4,000 majority for Garfield,
and the Herald claims 10000. The Sun
says Garfsld's majority in the state is
about 10000:
New York, Nov. 5.-Supt. Walling
says the thirty-tive ballot boxes at police
headquarters, in relation to which SO
much MYSTERY prevails, were taken to
headquarters III order to ascertain the
truth of the rumor that number OF
votes had been cast for VIM. s. Dowd,
republican candidate for mayor, instead
of VIM, Dowd, and had been thrown out
MS defective. The law recognizes in such
cases the intent OF the voter, and the
ballots would undoubtedly be counted
for the republican candidate. A report
er endeavored to count the detective vote
thrown out on the canvassers returns on
election day, but was prevented by
Chief O'BlieD Of the election bureau.
CALIFORNIA.
The votes counted give Garfield 62,905,
Hancock 62yO27, and Weaver 2,7O7. There
is no possibility Of the votes yet to be
counted changing the result, though the
majority will probably be slightly reduc-
ed.
SanFrancisco, ,Nov.5.-This mornings
papers make the vote Of the state prac-
tically tie. This change from last
night is due less to any turn in reports
of precincts than to the revision Of the
tabulated statements. These differ
considerably and there are evidences of
loose work sufficient to discredit oil esti-
mates. Undoubtedly the estimate of
two thousand last night was too high
and the best opinion seems to be that
Garfield will have a plurality of five
hundred to one Thousand.
OREGON.
Oregon, Nov. 5.-A Portland dispatch
says the latest election news gives clear
republican majority west of the Cascade
mountains OF 1000. This includes the
southern counties. In the counties east
of the mountains the democratic majority
is not likely to be over 700 and will not
exceed 500 at most.
NEW JERSEY.
New Jersey, Nov. 5.-Ludlow's majo-
rity over Potts for governor, about 600.
The majority for the democratic electoral
ticket about 1000.
COLORADO.
The latest returns, including the
strongest democratic counties, do not
materially change the figures already
given.
San francisco, Tov. 5-Nevada will
give Hancock about six hundred majori-
ty.

tlict, 1000; seventh district, 5000; eighth
district, 10000; ninth district, 10000.

ties nj the ninety-nine in the state give
Hancock a majority over Garfield.

INDIANA.
indianapolis, Nov. 5.-Wm. s. English
to-day said to News reporter that 1ndi.

BILE. The democracy, with democratic
senate, close house Of representatives,
and the presidency decided by T,
small majority in n single state, will moi
die. The real cause Of republican sue
cess was the prosperous times and busi
ness satisfaction. The country though
it wished to let well enough alone ant
the lack of harmony in New York. Th,
October election in Indiana and som,
other things may have had littl,
weight, but the main thing was the goo,
enough alone. In concluding Mr.. Eng
lish bewailed the corruption in part,
