NEW YORK LETTER.



New YoRK, Nov 90, 1888.
Kings county did the business!
Th're seems no doubt about it.
New York city did nobly, show
ing a tremendous increase on the
majority of four years ago. Ii is
the old story Of crying over split
milk, but there Is afteg all some
satisfaction in probing for treas
on. There Is fierce talk here
against Boss Mclaughlin, whe
assured the Democratic Comnnt-
tee Of majority OF AT least %.
600, and turned ont a miserable
half of that number.
There are some Democrats also
who are sore over the Iact that
Gov. Hill should have got IN by Il
very substantial majority, VIII lie
President Cleveland was so sadly
left in the lurch, Whether this
has any real Significance, | 90 not
pretend to say, for hot headed
partlsans smartiog under defeat
are apt to seize upon almost any
object which presents a fayorable
surface for venting their disap-
pointment. From talking with
Democrats, though, | belieye that
ii an election were held in New
York city tomorrow with Gov.
Hill as the Presidential candidate,
ths city would go Republican, or
come very near to it.
AS Il matter OF fact, thore does
not seem real evidence that the
J governor counlenanced anytradine
and the feeling against him will
, doubtless weer of rs the keen
edge of disappointment is blunted
