ROCHESTER,, Nov. Every Republican
Ou bllG lOCdl blChSb Is Gltt;t6u Ill COuu-
ty. Davenport's plurality is 27S0.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov 4.-The Evening
Journal says: Complete returns from about
one-third of the counties of the State, and
judicious estimates from the remaining coun-
ties indicate that Hill has been
elected by plurality not far from 10000. 1t
cannot exceed 11,000 and it is more than
likely to fall below 10000. Little has yet
been heard from the vote for other candi-
dates on the State ticket, but special efforts
were made to put Hill ahead, particularly in
the southern tier of counties. The plurali-
ties for the other Democratic State candi-
will be considerably less, and may possibly
be wholly overcome, and some of the Repnb-
lican State candidates elected. The Demo-
cratic plurality for Lieutenant Governor in
New York city falls 3849 below that for Hill.
In some counties Carr leads Davenport,
while in other counties, Albany among 9TH
ers, Davenport leads Carr There is bare
chance that Carr, Wood, .Wadsworth, and
Ulrich may all win by a hairs breadth, but
this is mere chance, which the final returns
on the full State ticket may disSipate. The
returns by counties show the vote in the in
terior has fallen off heavily, owing to the
bad condition of the weather and the unfor-
tunate incidence of Republicans.
ELNIIRA, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Goy Hill was
serenaded by the Excelsior Club at its rooms
this evening The streets were packed in

cheer and it was fully five minutes before
ne could be heard. In the course of his re-
marks he alluded to the various charges
made against him during the campaign. He
left tonight for Albany.
