The Vote I'm New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Tribune says this
morning regarding the contest in New York
city: SIN spite OF the tremendous efforts
made by the supporters OF Cleveland to roll
up great vote for him in this city, his plu-
raliiy here was only ,494 larger than that OF
Hancock over Garfield. Blaine polled a large
vote In many OF the downtown districts, be-
ing well supported by Irlsh-American voters
and by workingmen generally. But In the
Seventh and Eleventh Districts his vote fell
short OF expectation.
Blaines total vote In this city was 0O,O65;
lands plurality 12,777. Buffers vote was un-
expectedly small, falling below 1000, while
st. Johns was trivial.
There was unusual delay In counting the re-
turns, an Immense number OF "pasters" and
scratched tickets being used In balloting for
the local candidates. Frederick 8. Gibbs did
not receive the hearty support from the party
