NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, November 4th.-Some Of the
methods employed by city politicians yes
terday are shown by the following from
the World:
Democratic Register Reilly says y never
saw such outrageous conduc. 1T the polls
Maurice y. Flynn, who IS a rich con-
tractor, and one of the Democratic bosses,
came down to the Fourteenth Assembly
District, where Reilly is the Tammany
leader, and commenced buying votes
openly. Reilly says he had with him
ROliin b. Squire and Bob Eewcomb. He
made no secret OF bis open corruption. He
had 200 employees Of the Department Of
Public Works here, and 46 Republican
office-holders from the Custom house,
where the price for helping him was pro-
lection in their positions. He was paying
$40 L piece for voters, and made no secret
oi It. Not only this, he secured = couple
of policemen in the Ninth District to club
away Tammany voters from the polls; but
we complained 10 Captain Mccullough and
soon had that difficulty fixed.
The Tines account corroborates the
above statement: As Flynn went along
First avenue and avenues \ and B. he was
followed by q great crowd. Hither and
thither he proceeded. Those whom he tOck
into Railways groceries and saloons, came
forth with smiling faces and were added TO
the adheren;s of Andy White and Patrick
keenan, Reilly confronted him. charging
him with open corruption, and Flynn beat
retreat.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
New YORK. November 4th.-An organ
lied effort to vote was made Yesterday by
women in nearly every district OF the State
Several ladies' had been registered in this
city. two in Brooklyn. and several in each
of the larger cities in the interior OF the
State, including Albany, Troy, Utica.
jamestown and 0gdensbrg. Few, at all
events, succeeded in getting their votes
accepted Three ladies made attempts in
this city, but the inspectors refused to take
their votes. Ia one or two cases in this
city and Brooklyn, when the offers to vote
and be sworn i'll as voters were refused.
solemn protests were entered, and in all
probability legal proceedings will follow, if
the Courts will take action. 1t was only
last winter that the Womans Suffrage
party came to the conclusion that a woman
could vote under the Constitution of the
State, and consequently for the first time a
considerable number attempted TO exercise
what they thought to be their right. 1t is
said next year the women of the State Will
make similar attempt in large numbers.
1t is found that Il large number of women
have voted in this State in past elections.
The Tribune says: Five omen-three in
this city and two i'll Brooklyn-made
futile demonstration on behalf of their sex.
by attempting to vote at polling places
where they had been allowed 10 register
their ballots, but were firmly and courte-
ously declined. They withdrew, with a
distinctly new grievance, that of not being
suffered to vote when their names had been
registered.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
New YORK, November 4th-The Times.
Herald and other Independent. papers take
yesterdays surprise and defeat harder than
the Republican organs, which, amid the
gloom OF disaster, thoroughly enjoy the
Mugwump discontinue. :" 1t is too bad =;
says the Tribune that the Times and Post
could not have put q little more power into
their methods of supporting Cleveland 5
Administration The Times heads its
election column: Heelers' Triumph
Tweed's eX-Partner Elected :" while the
Tribune is finding an excuse for the defeat
in the light vote, Republican apathy, Pro-
hibition gains, Administration patronage,
and bad weather in parts of the State,
where rains and heavy roads kept back the
Republican farmers. The independents
angrily charge the disaster to the misman-
aged campaign and Democratic trickery
The Herald in leader says Hills hypocrit-
ical and servile professions of loyalty to
Cleveland apd his political reforms have
suiiiced to hold the Democratic party
together and prevent the development Of
Democratic mugwumpism. The Tribune
also finds consolation IN the fact that Blaine
led the party nearer TO victory in the face
of Mugwump and Stalwart dissatisfaction
than the ticket nominated TO cOnCilia:e
Independent purists has done.
The ECGGiRg Post says When the full
figures OF Yesterdays vote in New York are
received, they will make an unusually in
teresting study. At present, it is possible
TO consider only the pluralities for theState
as whole. These show plainly that if
the vote for Davenport in the State at large
bad been as full rs it was in this city and
Brooklyn he would have been elected. lie
was, in fact, defeated by what always has
been considered the Republican stronghold
of the State-that portion north of Harlem
river. Hills total vote in this city falls
over 1000 behind CleyeandS, and Dayen-
=
The transfer of Tammany's total vote from
Blaine last year to Hill this year ought to
have made greater change than this.
MUGwuMP REASONING.
The Times says .editorially: To those
Republicans who think ii wise and proita-
bic to barter away three years Of Ira Day-
export as Governor of New York for a
single hour of Judge Forakers oratory.
and few speeches from John 4. Logan.
We shall leave the task Of assuaging. as best
they can, the pain and disappointment of
their party under yesterdays defeat The
narrow-minded Foraker was imported TO
disgust decent Republicans with his rant
ings, and drive back to the support Of Hill
thousands of Democrats who would not
and could not act with Il party which. in
its official exposition of principles and in
its choice OF campaign orators, showed
purpose to heap indiscriminate censure
upon Democratic President, and hold
everything Democratic 10 be abominabie.
In this work of consolidating the Democ-
racy and swelling its vote, Foraker was
aided by the senseiess speeches Of Gen eral
Carr and the harangues of Logan. Against
such aI array OF ill-chosen friends, giving
aid and comfort To the enemy, the mass
of the party and Independents strove in
vain.
THE TRIANGULAR FIGHT IN THE CITY.
New YORK, November 4th.-The chiefin-
terest in the election in this city was in the
three cornered contest between Tammany
Hall, the County Democracy and the Re
pubicans, for the city and county Offices
Tammany Hall came Off victorious and is
corFespondingly jubilant. That body is
particularly pleased at having secured the
Shrievalty, which is very fat office. The
total vote Oh Sheriff in this city is: Grant
