The State Ticket Very Close-Both Par
ties Claiming .It-The Legislature Very
Close Also.

ALBANY, Nov. 9.--The Argus at noon to-
day claims the election of the Democratic
State ticket by 1000 majority, though owing
to Carr's running ahead of his ticket he may
be elected. 1t says the Senate, counting Tai
colt in New York as elected, is tie, and the
Assembly in doubt.
The Evening Journal editors at uoon say
that the Senate is a tie and the Assembly two
ton of Carr by about 1000 majority and con-
slider the remainder of the Republican State
ticket except Husted as probably elected.
The Republican Congressman in the 22d and
9th districts are elected.
The vote for sheriff is as follows: Lewis
Stegeman Rep.) 46,05S; Francis White (Dem.)
40,649.
Returns from the State as rar as received to-
gether with estimated returns give Carr
majority of 5,456.
The Evening Journal says the Senate is tied
and that the Democrats have majority of
three in the Assembly.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Brooklyn Eagle
saws that the board of aldermen now Demo-
cratic has been carried by the Republicans.
The same is true of the board of supervisors,
counting the casting vote OF the supervisors at
large.
Central Committee states that from the best
estimate which we can make the Republicans
have carried the State by at least 5000. The
legislature will be very close. We estimate
that the Senate will be tie, 10 Republicans,
is Dem ocrats, and Assembly b Republicans
and 60 Democrats.
For some unexplained reason the canvass
was very slow in Brooklyn last night or at
least this morning figures being incomplete at
day light. The Democrats are surprised and
depressed at the result which has deprived
them of large amount of patronage and may
entail loss of the State to that party next
year. The Republicans have elected mayor,
sheriff, supervisor at large and one senator
from the third senatorial district. They have
reduced the Democratic majority on the State
ticket to about 1000, when it was claimed it
would be 5000 at least. The vote for mayor is
as follows: Seth Low (Rep.) 1894; James
Howell Dem.) 40,937.
The Commercial Advertiser says that re-
turns from the State come in slowly Enough
is received however to indicate that the Re-
publicans hold the State by small majority.
The legislature has probably been lost. In
the last legislature, the Republicans had a
majority of IS in the Senate and "a in the
House. II this has been swept away it will
show the country what harmpnizing the party
with a bludgeon amounts to. The stalwarts
have borne the brunt of the fight and have
lessened the triumph that the Democrats are
claiming. If they had followed the tactics of
the other wing the defeat would be over
whelming. Let us be thankful for what has
been done and give praise that it was no
worse.
The Post says the defeat of the Republican
machine at every point where it could be
singled out and separated from the Republic
can party is perhaps the most noteworthy
feature of the election IN this city.
The World gives the Democrats two MAORI
ty iu the senate and six majority in the house
and claim the election of State officers by ma
jorities from 1000 to 10000.
The Tribune says Carr's majority is $500,
that the senate will stand two majority for the
Democrats, with four Democratic majority in
the house.
The Sun says Carr is probably elected by
about 1000 plurality over Purcell.
