The Evening Post, says:
When the full figures of yesterdays
state election in New York are received
they will make an unusually interesting
study. at present it is possible to con-
slider only the pluralities for the state as
o whole. These show plainly that if the
vote for Davenport in the state at large
had been as full as it was in this city
and Brooklyn he would have been elect.
ed. He was in fact defeated by what has
always been considered the republican
stronghold OF the state, the portion
north of Harlem river. Hills total vote
in the city falls over 5000 behind Cleve-
lands, and Davenport's falls over IA, COO
behind Blaine's. The transfer of Tam
many's total vote from Blaine last year
to Hill this year ought to have made a
greater change than this, and the fact
that 1t did not indicates that many indie
pendent democrats did not vote for Hill

Chicago, Nov. 4-The daily press here
without exception, views with satisfac-
ton the result of this election here yes
terday in the adoption of the election
law framed to meet the popular demand
in this oity. While the democratic
county convention declared against the
adoption of the law, it appears to be
voted for very evenly by both parties,
as, out OF the total vote recorded Of
$4,000, thirty thousand votes were
cast for the adoption of the
law. The new statute provides
for small polling districts, necessitates
~thecanvass of each precinct prior to eact
election, allows none but registered
voters to cast their ballots, makes it the
duty of serving as election judge as i'm,
peratiye as that Of a petit juror and
fixes the hour for closing the polls a
four o'clock in the afternoon. This lat,
ter feature was one upon which opposi.
ton to the law was based, The Law
also makes every election day a holiday.
