LIGHT VOTE WITH MUCH SCRATCHING IN BOTH
PARTEs-THE GENERAL RESULT IN DOUBT
GENERAL HUsTED BADLY SCRATCHED AND UN-
DoUBrEDLT DEFEATED-THE LEGISLATURE
CLOSE IN BOTH HOUSES WITH SMALL APPARENT
REPUBLICAN MAJoRITIEs.
The vote in New-York State has
been light. and the result seems to
be in doubt. The Democratic majority
in New-York City on the State ticket
is estimated at $4,000 as against $1,000
total Democratic majority in 1879; and in
Kings County at 2,756 as against $1,000
total Democratic majority in 1879.
The total Democratic majority in New
York and Kings Counties is, there
fore, 1886. Returns from 40 towns
outside of New-York and Kings Counties give
Carr 19,347, and Purcell 10,35S, a Repub-
lican majority of $3.50. An estimate of the
State on this basis would give Carr majority
outside of New-Yorll and Brooklyn of
3S,526, leaving the result apparently
in doubt until official returns are
received. The pame of General Hustled, Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer, was
extensively scratched, and he is undoubtedly
defeated.
The Legislature is also close in both houses,
and official returns may be needed
to determine its complexion. 1t is
said that there will hardly be a difference
of more than 100 votes between
Pitts and Raincs in the Rochester Dis
trict. Democratic Senators have been elected
in the Long Island, Wcstchester, Dutchess,
Albany, Buffalo, and With (New-York)
Districts now represented by Republic
cans. ShWld the Senate be tied, the casting
vote OF the Lieutenant Governor would give
the decision of party questions to the Ropub-
licans. On the first imperfect returns, the
Assembly seems to show a small Republicans
majority.
Roswell p. Flower (Dem) defeats w. w.
Astor (Rep.l for Congress. John Hardy Dem.)
is elected, and Charles r. Skinner Rep), in
the WatertOwn District, is also elected.

Owing to various causes, principally the terrible
condition Of the roads throughout the country. un-
favorable weather and, above all, lack
of interest very light vote was
polled. The election was quiet, as all Minnesota
elections are. A great deal of scratching" was
done and the exact result cannot be known for sew
eral days. The votes about equally divided ne
tween the two parties. Hubbard, Repubh-
can, for Governor. ran ahead of his ticket
in the southern part of the State, but he
was badly scratched in the other counties. The
Republican majority in the Ssefe is estimated az
10000 to 10000 johnson Dene, for Governor, ran
largely ahead of his ticket in St. Paul. his home.

THE STATE STRONGLY REPUBLICAN.
THE LEGISLATURES REPU BLICAN IN BOTH BRANCHES.
HARTFORD. Conn., Nov. s.-The election in Con-
pectcut was for fourteen Senators and full House
of Representatives. The Legislature last year had
n Republican majority of 90 on JOINT ballot but the
usual majority is about 80. There was very light
vote, which the rain made lighter than 1t would
otherwise have been.
The Republicans have carried both branches of
the Legislature by reduced majorties. Last year
the Senate stood 16 to s. This year it will probably
stand IA Republicans to 10 Democrats. three new
districts having been added The House will prob
ably stand about 14S Republicans to 100 Demo-
Gratis. Hartford elects Republican Senator and
one Republican and one Democratic Representative
New-Britain is Democratic. Waterbury, Meriden
and Norwich are Republican.

SOME FEATURES OF THE VOTING.


The vote in this city aud county falls more than
usually short of the registration owing doubtless to
the bad weather which prevailed as much as to the
indifference of all parties to the general result
The total vote is less than was anticipated. The
percentage of loss on the registration is unprece
dented in this city.
The result of the voting on the County ticket
justifies the policy which THE TRIBUNE urged OF
making no contest on District Attorney and of maxi
ing the issue on the election of Surrogate. Mr..
McKeon the candidate of the combined Democracy
received large vote, and has majority over Mr
Forster equal to any of the estimates made Both
candidates seem to have received very nearly the
full vote of their parties.
For Surrogate, Mr.. Rollins, the Republican candi-
date, is elected by handsome plurality over Mr.
Walker, the candidate of the County Democracy,
who leads Mr. CALVIN, the candidate of Tannnany
Hail. 1t was supposed that the sharp fight
between the two Democratic factions would
be upon this office, and that each would
eacrfce almost everything else TO poll the largest
vote for Surrogate. There appears to have been
sharp rivalry between them as to which could most
largely sell out other candidates on their
ticket to augment the vote for
their respective candidates for this position,
and the County Democracy have apparently given
most for the barren triumph of beating Calvin but
not Rollins. Tammany Hall has secured four, II
not five Senators, and in addition will claim the
prestige of having dictated the nomination of the
successful candidates for District-Attomey and
for Congressman in the IXth and XIth Districts.
The County Democracy further to be discredited
with the success of Michael Norton for Civil
Justice, and that is about all they have
got in the whole city. What else they have won OF
honor does not appear by the present returns but it
seems clear that with the exception of their show
ing in the Surrogates vote, the Democratic honors
such as they are-are mainly with Tammany Han.
In addition to the Surrogate the Republicans elect
the rest of their City and County ticket, including
Coroner and two Aldermen -at-Large. The Republic
can candidates for Marine Court also returned.
Indeed the success OF the Republicans approves tho
general policy OF straight ticket.
