Noyember Elections.

I Nsw York, November 1.-THE New
York prophecies did ,not.pan out as was
expected. The reports sent you last
night were based oncthe returns at that
hour. At the offices of the Sun and
World more complete data. partly off,
cialla1d in some instances estimated, re-
duce the democratic tnajority ii this
state to some 1000, with Maynard tle-
teafed by about 10. 900 to- $4,000. Thi,
result was produced almost wholly by
the conflicting elements of the canvass
in Nav York City and Brooklyn. New
York Ciiy's democratic majority was
about 40 600. when it should have been
at least 10000, and Brooklyn's demo-
cratic mai a],rity was about 5000, instead
| OF its usual sl5 900. all of which ,ac-
lcouhts for the shortage in the states
democratic majority of some 10000
The failure OF the democrats to poll the
usual vote, in these cities is ascribed
mainly. to the dissffection OF the brew
ers and liquor men, caused by the nomi-
nation of Maynard, a prohibitionist., L
is also said that Maynard was the nomi
nee of both Tilden and Cleveland, ani
it is clai ned that many democrats voted
and worked against him to sit down OF
tho governor. Ole thing, however. Il
