NEW YORK, Nov 4.-The election passed off
quietly and as pleasantly as could have
been expected in New York city There
were few fights and considerable drunk
enness, but no serious disturbances, and
no organized attempts at fraudulent voting are
yet come to light. The main portion of the vote
was polled before o'clock. The vote was very
heavy, and it was a noticeable feature of the
day that citizens of the better class were
at the polls in great numbers and working
earnestly. The most determined and violent
advocates of Cleveland's election were the indie
pendent Republicans. They were more bitter
and unfair in their work and methods than the
old-time Democrats, All day the headquarters
of the Republican national committee were filled
with crowd of anxious visitors. The most in
terest was manifested in New York State, and
esscould be learned aboutit, notwithstanding the
uncertainty as to the result The Republicans felt
great confidence in New York State, and bets
were freely made that the Republicans
would carry the State The Republicans had an
idea that they could carry New York. and they
clung to that idea in spite of the news The
weather was not fair in New York; rain fell all
the afternoon and quite furiously through the
evening This was against the Republicans,
but they turned out and worked industriously
and they had to face tremendous odds. The
Democrats were confident all day that they
would win in this State They were more un-
certain Of the general result than the Republic
ans were concerning the result in New York
State

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-In this State, to-day be-
sides presidential electors, the following candi-
dates are to be voted for: Two judges of the
Court of Appeals, thirty four congressman. mem
bers of the Assembly, and in various localities
city and county officials. Judges for the Su-
preme Court will be elected, candidates having

sonal districts there are in addition to the nom

In five of these districts both of those parties
have made nominations There are in New
York State, outside of New York and Brooklyn
1894 polling places or election districts. Returns
from these will be compared and sent out indie
pendent of New York city and Brooklyn. The
comparison in the State will be made with re-
1urns for President in 1880, The vote in that
year stood: Garfield, 555, 544; Hancock, 534, oil;
with l3 89o scattering
Up to o'clock all parties seemed to be voting
steadily and squarely for their local State and
national tickets. AS far as the obkASeer can
discern, there has been cutting of Cleveland
by Tammany and Tammany is casting full
vote for Grant. No trading is reported and no
disturbance
Brooklyn dispatch says; The Democrats
are rolling up large majority for Cleveland in
the Democratic wards while the Republicans
are working hard In the Republican wards to
pull it down. The leaders of the Democratic
party say Ceveland's majority in Kings county
will be from $4,000 to 30, 600 but the Republi
cans claim that ne will not go out of the county
with more than $1,000 The Butler and St John
vote is very small Much indignation is ex-
pressed in Republican districts against the indie
pendent Republicans, who are conspicuous in
their work for the success of Cleveland The
disaffection is in the First Seventh and Twen
tieth wards. All public Offices and courts are
closed, as well as many of the stores, and the
city. except in the immediate vicinity of the
polls, is remarkably quiet,
At Buffalo the day opened cold, rainy and very
disagreeable, but later cleared up The election
proceeded quietly A few individuals were ar
rested on CHARGES of ILLEGAL reGstratinn- Indics-
