BUFFALO, November S.-Daven-
ports plurality in Erie. in the county,
is estimated at 300--a Republican gain
Of over 1850.
NEW YORK, November 3--- Midnight.
The election in this city to-day was
conducted quietly and earnestly. or
2lG,0 voters who registered, 200, 900
went TO the polls. The general feeling
that the contest on the governorship
would be close caused the returns from
this city to be eagerly looked for.
il was generally admitted that If
Hill could leave this county with
$4,000 majority over Davenport his
election was assured. lie secured that
majority, and added 10000 from Kings
county. Carr ran only few hundred
votes ahead Of his ticket, and not suffi-
cicnt TO Justify the hope that, while the
Republicans might not elect their Gov
erDor, they might their Lieutenant-GOv-
ernor with the same candidate who
had been elected Secretary Of
State when there was otherwise
a Democratic State victory. Intense
local interest was manifested in the
contest on the sheriff. The returns be-
gan early TO show that the issue would
be between Hugh j. Grant. the Tam
many candidate, and John w. Jacobus
Republican), Andrew j. White, the
County Democracy candidate, being de-
cidedly in the rear. The ticket was
the last canvassed, and at midnight the
result is in doubt. NJ. c. Murphy
County Democracy is elected in the
Fifth senatorial district, after bitter
contest with ex-senator Michael Nor
ton; Teilly (Democrat) in the Sixth
DAILY (Democrat) in the Seventh. Dur
ham (Democrat) defeats Senator Gibbs
tRepublican) in the Fifth district, while
the Ninth is in doubt; Trsphagan de-
mOcrap in the Eleventh, and Plunkett
tDemocrat in the Twelfth. At this
time the returns for assemblymen are
insufficient to give the relative Demo-
cratic and Republican representation
from this city. Headquarters Of every
political organization in the city were
crowded with people who were anxious
to learn the latest news from the va
rous election districts. The County
Democrats gathered in Chickering Hall;
the Tammsny-IIall braves at the Big
Wigwsm Irving-Hall Democrats at
their hail, in Irving Place; and the
Republicans in the Grand Opera-IIouse.
In each of these places the returns were
read as fast as they were received. The
largest crowds assembled at Tammany
Hall and the Grand Opera-iIOuse.
When the dispatch announcing that
Hill had carried New York city by
such a majority as to make his
election almost certain was read at
Tammany Hall the greatest enthusiasm,
prevailed. The shouting and hurrah-
ing could be heard for blocks distant.
T. j. Campbell is elected to succeed 5.
S. Cox in Congress from the Eighth
district.
New YORK, November 4-2:30 4.
N-IIugh j. Grant (Tammany) is
