vrv YORK. Nov. 2.-The election in
Nav York to-day was for Judge OF the
ronrt Of Appeals, tor members OF the
1o~is,ature and for thirty-four Congress-
n The nominees for the Judgeship
80 Judge Charles Daniels, or Bunal0,
Don Rufus w. Peckham, of Albany
nam and william Jay Groo, Prob. The
aatoot was between the two first named,
oIoost nothing having been heard OF the
probibition candidate. There was little
.,noisn work done for either Daniels or
D1otbsr. Both were recognized as emil
oanty worthy OF the position, but 1t was
s,1,ovod that Judge Daniels, who has
orp been prominent ON the supreme
~onrt bench. would attract many D-mo-
ors,ic votes. The World practically
unnorted him, mainly because it
H considered Mr.. Peckham an antl-Hill
nomination. The vote for Judge is COM
rarsd with the Gubernatorlal vote of last
raor The State voted also upon the
onesfon whether convention for re-
r.sing the constitution shall be held. A
II maturity of all the votes cast at the elec-
mo2 is REQUIRED for an affirmative decIs-
ian. ltwas believed that this would be
drained, as both parties favor the con-
venti0n.
THE ASSEMBLY.
Much more interest centered in the elec-
lion OF the i2S members Of the Assembly,
as the next LEGISLATURE VIII elect sue
rfssor to senator Miller. Both parties
made a special effort 10 carry the day.

81 last Legislature consisted of
II ,eventy-eight Republicans and tfty Demo-
II rats. Senator Miller, who desires re-
b election, has taken an active part in the
n Assembly campaign. In the Congress
81 ional elections it was believed that the
II parties would about hold their own,
Ii though the result in several districts was
a considered doubtful. Each party now
d has seventeen representatives. Worthy ol
a note was the nomination by the Demo-
Gratis Of William BOurke Cochran in the
