CHESS CHAMPIONS IN TIE LISTS.

The fact that Zukertort, the champion of the
London chess tournament and steinitz champion OF
the Vienna tourney both in this country, has greatly
stimulated match games everywhere Last night at the
Manhattan Chess Club No. l04 East Fourteenth-st the
first round OF a series Of match games between Phadel
phia and New-York players Off steInitz did not
play but he accompanied the fifteen Philadephians to
this city and TO the club rooms where he received
hearty welcome from the members DR.. Zukertort was
present then but he arrived later and those who did
not know that the two champions not on friendly
terms astonhed that they did not greet one All
other They sided past each in assumed un-
consciousness Of his rivals existence. Finally they sta
toned themselves at opposite ends Of the ROOM circle
OF eager listeners formed around each seintz said
loudly that he would play ZukerOrt for 81 900 side any
day. and that he would be glad OF the chance TO make
much money! while ZukertOt explained 20 his admirers
that 10 play match with seintz would accomplish the
dearest wish Of his heart but ho prevented by the
trip that he had planned for himself which would not al

THE DAY AFTER ELECTION.
TALK AT THE STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS.

Chairman Warren, General Sharpe, Secretaries
Vrooman and Johnson, and several other members
of the Republican State Committee were at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday endeavoring to aseer-
tain the exact result of the State canvass. The
early returns showing the reelection of Secretary
Of State Carr by $4,000 or 10000 majority were
succeeded by others that indicated so great fall
ing-of on the vote for the other candidates that
their defeat was almost conceded. Later dis
patches made the result again seem doubtful and
late in the afternoon the election Of Pliny I. Sex
ton as State Treasurer, and perhaps of the other
Republican candidates, was considered probable.
The news that Senator Jacobs was declared elected
by small majority reached the Committee rooms
at an early hour and charges Of fraud in the count
ing of votes freely made. 1t was thought that
a Senate investigation might be necessary to
tain the truth of the charges.
Senatorselect Albert Daggett and James Otis Wis
tied the Committees rooms and received congratu-
latiOns. The kilograms received from various parts
of the State gave results only for single districts
and only few figures were received showing the
results by counties. Many inquiries from different
parts of the State were received asking as to the
result of the election. Two of the rooms used by
the Committee were given up and most of the clerks
went home.
Chairman Warren said in reference to the
work of the Committee; 1.-THE charge that
the Committee has not worked hard is not
founded on a correct understanding of the matter
We did not have money enough for n canvass in
which large meetings should be held. The number
Of documents sent out was very large but we had
made up OuT minds that the canvass must be n
quiet one and we did not talk about the work we
were doing. For part of the time we had large
number of clerks at work, but most of the time we
had little help, New-York City and especially
Brooklyn did we'll. Hard and constant work were
rpgnit shows
that the people in the country were apathetic Be
sides, we did not have money enough to bring out
the voters in the country districts If other parts
of the State had done as well as the cities the re-
suit would not have been doubtful"

HOW THE MAYOR REGARDS THE RESULT.
Mayor Low. when visited at his house yesterday
by TRIBUNE reporter, was caught mapping after
the hard work and consequent fatigue Of the cam
paign Just closed, in which partisan greed and re-
venge clasped hands TO compass his defeat. Upon
his appearance, however he showed no signs of
WEAKNESS though his voice is a little husky as a
result of his many speeches of the last two weeks.
"There never was" he said, "such a campaign in
BROOKLYN as that through which we have inst
passed SO far as / can remember, il is almost the
only campaign in which the local Democracy
have held continuous meetings in all parts
Of the city, and in the course of
which the candidate also appeared before the
people, In my opinion the strongest combination
that ever was made against local candidate was
met at the polls yesterday, and beaten fairly and
squarely by the people. The nomination of Mr..
Hendrix united the political elements OF the Demo
cratic party locally to an extent beyond anything
that has existed for many years, 50 that while the
majority is small the battle was really much more
of battle and the results can be regarded as much
more important than the victory which was won
two wears ago. Ii was really the greatest fight that
victory that has ever been won here for good
government. Every element that has been
powerful in the past in controlling and shaping
things in Brooklyn leagued against us, aud in
my opinion the silent vote settled the question.
! Looking back over the ground 1t IS easy 10 say
that every inch was contested thoroughly, and the
only reason why our opponents did not succeed was
| because &-ey were not the stronger"
The Mayor Is III constant receipt of kilograms
from different parts of the country cOugratulating
him upon his reelection. This shows that the
test has been watched with deep interest in places
| far remote from Brooklyn.
