Kings county added to the hopes

New York and Kings counties would indi-

give some unusual surprises not to be pre-
dicted by previous experiences on the aver
age state elections. Carr ran but few

EDITORIAL UTTERANCES.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Sun says:
The election in this state yesterday re-
suited in a sweeping Democratic victory.
Gov. Hill was elected by about 14,G00
plurality. The entire Democratic state ticket
was elected, although GOV. Jones ran sadly
behind his ticket. Gov. Hill's ma
that given to Mr.. Cleveland by
about 1,50O. There were large Democratic
gains in Albany, Monroe and other interior
counties. In this city GOV. HilPs majority is
about $4,000, and in Kings county about
12,000. The largest Democratic gains were
made in the country districts. The Demo
Gratis send 81 solid delegation from this city to
the state senate. There were some Demo
cratic gains in the assembly elections, but at
this hour the Republicans appear TO have &
majority in both branches Of the legislature.
In an editorial headed The President
Holds his Own State, the Tribune says:
The Democrats retain New York. Gov.
Hill has been elected by a figure so handsome
as to make the beggarly plurality which the
state gave President Cleveland almost invisi-
bic. The return Of voters whom Mr. Blaine'S
candidacy alienared did not make good to the
Republican party the loss this year Of voters
whom that candidacy attracted.
In fact the gain does not seem TO
have equaled one-third or one-fourth OF the
loss. The stay-at-heme voters decided the
matter. The vote was light, but the Repub-
licans who did not take the trouble to vote
outnumpered the Democrats. A very much
smaller vote than was cast for MIR. Blaine
would have Sufnced to bury Mr.. Hil but the
Republicans were not aroused to such vote.
But the Republican phalanx is neither routed
nor broken. As the significant gain in one
idea shows. it is more heartily united
than it has been at any other time
for many years. and though beaten on the
state ticket it holds both branches Of the leg
islature by strong maiorities. The severe
storm in the interior which made the vote
lighter, Gid not cost the Republicans Gny seats

be that the Republican voters did not expect
to succeed this year against the concentra-
tiou of power by the administration to save
itself, and therefore did not make the efforts
necessary to success.
CONGRATULATIONS.

New YORK, Nov. 3-The following dis
patch was sent at midnight:
