What the Leading Papers of New York
Have to Say About 1t.

NEW YORK, November 6.--The leading
newspapers of this city speculate as fol-
lows upon the result of the election;
THE TIMES.
The Times says: "New York has been
carried by the Democrats by a plurality
OF 5000. The returns on which this is
based are nearly complete, and the official
count will but slightly vary it, The six
votes OF Connecticut and New jerseys
nine are assured 10 Cleveland. The DEM
ocratic majority in Indiana will be nearly
10000, giving 10 more to Cleveland, and
Wisconsin may be counted on for II more,
while there is a. strong probability that
the success Of the fusion ticket in Mich
igan will and nine more This gives him
239 Of the t0l votes of the electoral col
lege, 4 majority OF II. Grant polled
some 10000 votes more than be-
long 10 Tammany Hall, while Cleveland
nearly received that number less than
would have been his, if the full legiti-
mate vote of Tammany had gone to him.
The inference is inevitable that there must
have been about 10000 Tammany votes
transferred 10 the Blaine ticket. 1t may
be that John Kelly did not directly bar
gain away these votes to Blaine, but had
he shown disposition to support the
National ticket faithfully he could have
prevented the tratllcking. Kclly's rela-
ton to the Democratic party is once more
clearly defined For the attainment of
his own selfish ends he is ready to betray
1t at any time"
THE TRIBUNE.
The 7'riJuae says: "Grace's total vote
for the mayoralty exceeds that of Grant
not due to exceptional popularity. He
was looked upon as having the stamp of
regularity. Tammany's attitude toward
Cleveland lost Grant thousands OF votes"
,,MPUDENT GAME.
t. times says: ga more impudent
game of bluff was never played in Ameri-
can politics than that which the beaten
leaders and followers of Blaine attempted
yesterday from morning until night with
reference to the vote Of New York. Jay
Gould was the performer, with Steve
Elkins' National Committee as an ac-
cessory. Whether his blullng was success
full enough 10 enable him to rid himself of
shy of his imperiled stocks or even to
hedge on bets does not clearly appear.
What is clear, is that there was at no mo-
ment yesterday any reason for modifying
the conclusions reached Tuesday night
that Cleveland had carried New York and
been elected. The Western Union Com
pany continued during the hours on the
Stock Exchange to supply bulletins to
suit Gould's views, making wilder
"claims" without giving the data, which
would have shown their abSurdity. The
ingenious Elkins seems to have used the
weak backs Of his own correspondents,
with such effect that the reports
OF Blaine majorities waXed apace.
This seems TO have been done
not from any specific design, so much as
upon the general principle that something
might turn up and that it would be fatal
mistake TO lose everything through neg.
fect TO claim it. The fears of "count
out" hi this State are, we believe, entire
" groundless. What is really serious is
that stock jobber should have been able
to use the chief Of the agencies on which
the people depend for their news. That
- Western Union Company should have
Lle '%iuSively employed for day as
Joeu ca 0tece of Gould's lies is Ma
,ho i'outht "hich indicates National

ne State is undoubtedly ranged UNI,

peculiarly worded partisan dispatches up
% the hour of going to press, which
would indicate a Blaine victory, have

associated Press and Western Union.
We are informed that a Western Union
Xpert and an Associated Press man

made dispatches which interpret all doubts

arm, Tor false report can not change

atoms are that the electoral vote will
tand 225 for Cleveland 10 for Blaine

ne Democratic column the States of New
