ALBANY, Nov 4.
More than 200 complimentary dispatches
were received at the executive chamber to-
day, from Virginia, Pennsylvania and Wash
ington.
The Evening Journal says: Complete re-
turns from about one-third of the counties of
the State, and Judicious estimates from the
remaining counties indicate that Hill has been
elected by plurality not far from 10000.
1t cannot exceed Ii 900. 1t is more likely to
fall below 10000. There has been but little
heard of the vote for other candidates on the
State ticket, but special efforts were made to
put Hill ahead, particularly in the southern
counties. The pluralties for other demo-
cratic State candidates, except O'Brien for
attorney general, will be considerably less
and may possibly be wholly overcome, and
some of the republican State candidates
elected. The democratic plurality for lieu
tenant governor in New York city falls 3S49
below that for Hill. In some counties Carr
leads Davenport, while in other counties Da-
venport leads Carr. There is bare chance
that Carr, Wood, Wadsworth and Ulrich may
all win bv a hairs breadth, but this is mere
chance, which the first returns on the full
State ticket may dissipate. The returns by
counties show that the vote in the interior
fell of heavily, owing to the bad condition of
the weather and the unfortunate Incidence
of the republicans.
ELMIRA, Nov. 4.
Gov. Hill was serenaded by the Excelsior
club at its rooms this evening. The streets
were packed in front of the building, and for
a block away on either side. The cheering
and shouting was deafening. The Governor
appeared upon the balcony and was greeted
with cheer upon cheer. In the course of his
remarks he alluded to the various charges
made against him during the campaign, as
follows
"Knowing as did that these charges had
their origin in the bitter disappointment of
the lobby which surrounded and controlled
the last legislature, lobby which was able
to control for its favorite measures. The
columns of newspapers, which were the most
violent IN their attacks upon my character,
deemed unworthy of notice in the recent con-
test. l deem them unworthy of notice now.
You have answered them and for tnat answer
thank you from the bottom of my heart"
Gov. Hill left at 1925 for Albany.
New YORK. Nov. 4.
Total vote for sheriff is Grant, 1859
Jacobus, 65, ,53S; White, 59,20S; Tammany,
people are extremely jubilant over the
election of their candidate to the principal
city office in this years election, and the
county democracy are decidedly downcast.
The general result is regarded as a decided
victory for Tammany over the county de-
mocracv. The latters nominee for county
clerk, Keenan,, the present incumbent, has
been beaten by Flack, the Tammany nomi-
nee. Tammany also elected Mooney, its
candidate for President of the Board Of
Aldermen.
The complexion of the newly elected Board
of Aldermen will be seven elected by county
democracy, eight by Tammany Hall, and five
by united democracy, with four republicans.
Tammany also elects two out Of three cor
oners. The other successful candidates are
Judge of Supreme Court. Barrett, united
nominee; Judge of Superior Court, Sedg
wick, republican; Judges of Common Pleas,
Bookstaver, Tammsny, and Strong, republi-
can; City Judges, McAdsm, Tammany, and
Erich, dem.
