. REPUBLICANS.
Returns Of the vote of Tuesdays election IN
New-York State apparently show that fourteen
Republicans and twenty Democrats have been
elected as Congressman. The XXIvth Con-
gressonal District is credited to Frank B. Arnold,
Republican. in this estimate, but the vote in the
district between Mr.. Arnold and his Democratic
competitors is q close one.
Unfavorable news to Republicans was received
yesterday respecting the result OF the contests In
five Assembly Districts: the WITH District Of
Albany County. the IXth District of Kings County.
the lid District of Queens County. the let
District of Wayne County, and from Sullivan
County. In all these Republican districts
it was reported Democrats had been elected
These Republican reverses changed the COM
plexion of the Assembly. giving the Democratic
party q majority in that body. At present the
Assembly seems to be divided as follows: Re-
publicans, so; Democrats, 6S. There are several
districts in which the Democrats have such small
puralties that it is possible the official count Of
the vote cast in those districts may award them
to the Republican candidates for Asscmbymen
G. II. p Gould, the Democratic candidate for
Assemblyman in Lewis County, is reported to be
elected by only IS plurality, and Grant b. Taylor,
the Democratic candidate for Assemblyman in the
plurality.
If the Democratic party has sxty-eight As
semblymen, it has sufficient to elect Democrat
as United States Senator when the joint con-
vention of the Senate and the Assembly meets in
January next, unless the party complexion Of the
Senate should change before the convention is held
The seats of two Democratic Senators are con-
tested. The Senate at present stands Republicans
10 Democrats, 10; Republican majority, g. The
Assembly, if the election figures OF yesterday re-
main undisturbed, will have go Republicans and
6s Democrats as it's members The total Demo-
cratic vote in the Senatorial Joint Convention
would thus be 81, and the total Republican vote
70; or a Democratic majority upon joint ballot
of 9 votes
Acting upon the assumption that o Democratic
United States Senator will be elected, Democratic
politicians are already beginning to talk about
candidates Smith NJ. Weed, of Plattsburg, on
Saturday last announced himself as candidate
and stated that Governor Hill would not be a cam
didate for the office. Mr.. Weed, in letter to
THE Plattsburg Republican, said that The
Plattsburg Sentinel had assailed himself and
Democratic candidate for the Assembly. de then
added do not write to refute these statements,
but simply to say to the people of Clinton County
that the Hon. David B. Hill is not and will not
q
in case the Democrats carry the Legislature,
and to say that if they carry the Legislature
shall be nominated for that office and the people
can depend upon this being the fact
Mr.. Hills friends at Albany say that Mr. Weed
smoke truly when he stated that Mr.. Hill would
not be a candidate for Senator, but that MIR,
Weed was hardly warranted in declaring that he
knew that Smith NJ Weed would be elected Sen
ator Mr. Hills supporters say further that they
feel embarrassed by Mr.. Weeds palpable declera-
tion that he would have Mr. Hills support for the
Seuatorship Mr. Hill they declare, does not like
70 be put in a position of giving away honors
which belong to the Democratic Legislature to be-
stow The Cleveland Democrats also are making
some objection to Mr. Weed because he was Ran
dali Democrat The friends of Roswell Z. Flower
are suggesting his selection Senator The Cleve-
land Democrats are talking about supporting
William c. Whitney Previous to election Colonel
Daniel S. Lamont, the business partner OF MI.
Whitney, denied that that gentleman was a. can
didote for Senator; but it is thought that, In
view of the fact that the-Democrats think they
have the Senatorship, that MIR. Whitney may Dc
come candidate. c p,~.,.
