lNG-EEARS OF FRAUD On TN
PART OF THE DEMOCRATS.
There was long delay and q great deal u
trouble last night in getting the figures from TWEEN
ty-three election districts Of the Presidential vote
in New-York City. Before 10 o'clock the totals
for Cleveland and Harrison were known In $50
out Of s5s election districts, and on the basis Of
these totals, 1t was estimated that Cleveiancs
majority over Harrison In New-York City was
about $4,000 In 1884 Cleveland's majority over
Blaine was 43,127. Hours passed without get
ting the returns from the missing DISTRICTS al
though the Police Department and the Associated
Press and others were all trying to secure them.
1t was a mysterious and puzzling matter, and Sc
we're criticisms the good faith and honesty OF
the election officials in the missing districts were
freely expressed.
The election districts from which ths returns
Of the Presidential vote were missing at late
hour last night were:
In the Ivth Assembly District. the Seventh Election
in tho xIIth Assembly piszto. q: Ninth. nsA-
In the XIIIth Assembly District, tho Seventh Elsc-

1t was apparent at an early hour in the even
ing that the money and labors Of the saloon
full in giving him much larger plurality in New
York than Mr.. Cleveland secured. As the state
of things in Kings County also was similar, this
seemed to make the defeat of Mr.. Miller for
Governor probable. The saloon-keepers all worked
with desperate energy. and spent their money
with the utmost lavishness to secure the election
of Hill, and the defeat of Miller.
In spite of all the efforts and appeals OF tho
most earnest and active Republicans in the city.
the party failed to give It's full vote to the
regular candidate for Mayor, Joel B. Erhardt-
The County Democracy showed weakness rather
than strength, as was expected by ell careful
observers Of politics. The result was that Mayor
Hewitts vote fell far behind that of Hugh J.
Grant, who was elected Mayor. Tammany suc-
ceeded in eecting its whole oity and county ticket
and Grant received far larger number Oh
votes than either Mr.. Hewitt or Colonel Erhardt.
Coogan's vote proved to be wretchedly small only
q few thousand His organization, such as 1t
was, fell to pieces and gave him no earnest or
loyal support. Hence the Tammany strength was
not drawn upon at oil by the labor men, and the
Tammany candidates polled the full vote Of tho
organization.
Hugh ], Grants majority for Mayor over Mr..
Hewitt, who runs second, with Colonel Erhardt
close third, is about $4,000. The following
is the list of city and county officials elected:
For Mayor-Hugh j. Grant ..-.s----g-.s-- y
For Sheriff james A. Flack.
For County Clerk-Edward F. Reilly.
For President of the Board Of Aldermen-Georgs
II. Forster. !
For Coroners-Ferdinand Levy. Daniel Hanley
