THE ELECTIONS ELSEWhE.".

Mixed Result ia New York.
New York Herald.
The gcturns from the state still leave
the result on the general ticket somewhat
doubtful. The latest figures, however,
strongly indicate Republican success. 1t
seems to he we'll settled, however, that
Robert A. Maxwell, tho Democratic can
didate for state treasurer, has beaten
General Hustled. and that General Joseph
3. Carr, the Republican candidate for
secretary of state, has run so far ahead
of his ticket as to lead Mr.. William Pur-
cell.
Associated press dispatches from AL
bany at 4 late hour last night says 1.-THE
returns from the state, SO far rs received,
together with the estimated returns, give
Carr a majority of 5,546." The Ecening
Journal, Rep , says the Senate is tied and
that the Democrats have rlajority of
three in the Assembly. The same paper
also claims tho election of the balance of
the state ticket, with the exception Of
Hustled.
The statements sent in from the differ
cnt counties by the associated press agents
arc exceedingly mcagrc and disconnected.
The Democratic majOritics from various
counties were transmitted ON the Purcell
vote. When it is understood that Mr..
Purcell has run considerably behind his
ticket such figures should be considered
decidedly unfair and intended more to
mystify than to explain the result.
1t is now apparent that the large Demo-
cratic gains throughout the state will be
obliteratcd by the totally unexpected
smallncss of the majOrities in New York
and Kings. 1t is further contended that
within 5000 or 5000 votes Of
winning on the night of election they
are not particularly at a loss to make up
such deficiency within twenty-four hours.
But all hope is not yet abandoned by the
being mainly based on the Carr vote leave
run so far ahead of his ticket as simply to
elect himself and leave the balance of his
Republican colleagues behind. The state
ticket probably elected is: Secretary of
State. Joseph B. Carr, Rep; Comptroller,
Ira Davenport, Rep; Attorney General,
Leslie w. Russell. Rep; State Treasurer,
Robert A. Maxwell, DEM; State Engineer
and Surveyor, Silas Seymour, Rep; Judge
of Court of Appeals, Francis NJ. Finch,
Rep.

New York World.
The latest figures throw some doubt
over the result on the secretary of state,
but the rest of the Democratic state ticket
is undoubtedly elected, and on the state
treasurer by a very large majority. The
stalwarts made a special effort to put Mr..
Carr ahead of hisHalf- breed associates, and
his vote, therefore, is the largest thrown
for any Republican candidate. The re-
turns settle the fact that both branches of
the Legislature are Democratic.
New York Sun.
Mr.. Carr, the Republican candidate for
secretary of state, runs ahead of his ticket
IN nearly every county, and is probably
elected by about 900 purality over Pur-
cell. Maxwell, Democrat, for treasurer,
defeats Hustled, Republican, by an esti-
mated majority of 10000 to $4,000. The
figures are insufficient on the rest of the
party claims the election of its ticket by
1000 votes. The official count will be
necessary to determine tho result. The
majority will probably be only few hun
dred either way. The Democrats have
carried the Legislature by eight Or ten on
joint ballot.
Virginia and Other States.
The Readjusters have captured Vir-
ginia. The returns are but meagre; but
it is not probable that the majority will
fall below 5000, while the Readjusters
claim IL will be twice as large. The Leg
islature will also have a Readjuster ma
jority in both branches.
The latest returns from New Jersey give
the Republicans majority in the Senate
and make the Assembly tie, with one
district doubtful, but claimed by the Re-
publicans.
Wisconsin is claimed by the Republi.
cans, by from 1000 to 5000 majority.
Returns from onc-half of the state show
Democratic gain of 10, 600 votes, as COM
