HANCOCK'S DEFEAT ATTRIBUTED
TO JOHN KELLY.
DOES JOHN KELLY OWN NEW
YORK?
[By Telegraph to the sentinel.l

NEW YORK, November 4.-The World
says: Garfield will be chosen President
by the Electoral vote Of this State, and
this vote he will receive only in conse-
quence of the disastrous and unexpected
falling off in the Democratic majorities of
Brooklyn and of this city. That this fall
ing of was the result of causes quite out
side Of the national contest is absolutely
certain. The vote of New York will be
given to Garfield, not because Garfield is
New York, but because, and not for the
first time in the history Of our municipal
parties, local and personal interests have
been preferred to the general welfare Of
the party and Of the country. Tweed for
example, gave the State to the Republicans
in 1871, by forcing on the city Democracy
his candidacy for reelection to the State
Senate. He was elected, but the entire
county ticket and Legislature were sacri-
feed. New York has secured a Demo-
cratic city government which is, so far,
a good thing; but it remains to be seen
whether New York could not have secured
this at less cost than that Of So Electoral
votes, which, added to the 1873 from the
South, 9 from New Jersey, and 8 from
Nevada, not to mention California and
Oregon, would have elected Hancock Pres
ident.
The Herald lays the blame OF Hancock's
defeat upon John Kelly
Democrats to Control the Next
Senate.
WASHINGTON, November 4.-The latest
advices received here to-day make it prac-
tically certain that the Democrats will con-
troll the next Senate, unless the Republi-
cans have secured a majority on joint bal
lot in the Legislatures Of the three States
still said to be in doubt, namely: New Jer-
sey, Tennessee and California. The cleo
ton of Republican successors to Randolph,
Bailey and Booth, and q Democratic sue
cessor to Sharon, would give the Demo-
Gratis 38 members Of the Senate, counting
Davis Of Illinois and Malone OF Virginia
as Democrats, and swell the number Of
Republicans to S8, affording Vice President
Arthur the opportunity Sc control the SEN
ate by his casting vote. If one only of
the above named States should elect o
Democratic Senator it will be in the power
ate on any political question, or in the
matter Of organization, or il two Of these
States elect Democrats, the same contin-
gency will arise il Davis and Malone de-
termine to act together.
Hancock Little Concerned.
New YORK, November 4.-The Times
says: General Hancock seemed yesterday
to be the least concerned Of any man on
Governors Island over the result Of the
election. He had retired at the usual
hour the night before. After breakfasting
with his family yesterday morning he went
to Army headquarters and busted himself
with his official correspondence. General
McCl ellan called to express his sympathy,
and Hancock's reply was that he was sorry
for the people and the party. To the
other gentlemen who called he said he was
to abide the decision Of the people. |
Several Of his military friends called, but |
the aspiring Democratic politicians, who |
find no further use for Hancock, kept |
away.
