HOW They Received tue News.

NEW YORK, Nov. Candidate Flow CT spent all last evening at his Il me. A special wire had been run into his house, and telegraph instrument merrily ticlSed the good news from all parts of the State in the library. As early as possible the Governor-elect sought his bed, and probably got tho first sound nights sieep undisturbed by party cares he has had for many q day.
 ELMIRA, N. Y., Nov. 5.-Mr. Fassett watched the returns with considerable faith until 10 o'clock. when dispatch from New York Republican paper al lowed that Flower had carried the State. Right on top of this came an estimate from Albany giving the State to Flower by 20,000 majority or up- wards Then Mir. Fassett said simply: Well, gentlemen, we're beaten, and there's no use whining"

vote will be very close, however. and Boies' plurality will not exceed 2,00o.
 The election throughout the State passed off quietly. The weather was generally cloudy but fairly warm in most parts of the State and slight rains were reported in some sections. As he polls in many of the precincts were held open until < or 9 o'clock the returns will be late coming in.
 The vote will be compared with that for Governor in 1889, when Bois (Dem. ) received 1sO,l1l; Hutchinson tRep), 173, ,53s; Downing Union Labor), 5,579; Smith (Pro.), l.353. The Democrats made desperate fight in this city and it is proba ble that the vote of Polk county will show a remarkable in crease.
 Both committees here claim the cleo tion of the Governor. Chairman Mack of the Republican committee said. 'sThe returns are very incomplete, but careful estimate places Wheeler S plurality at from 2,5o0 to 5000. The later precincts, believe, will show greater Republican gains, as they will be from country distl icts."
 Chairman Fuller of the Democratic committee said: 'I claim the State for Boies by the same plurality as two years ago-S.500. We have nothing definite upon winch to base an esti mate for the rest of the ticket and the Legislature. Returns are coming in very slowly and correct estimates ars impossible" The returns on tht Legislature are as yet incomplete bu so far favor the Republicans. having [ majority in both houses

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Elcction re- turns were not of the sort to keep the interest going late in Washington. The resident and several mem bers of the cabinet who went to the White House remained up, however, until after midnight awaiting the latest news.
 The New York vote was not so far away from the estimates and, in the early part of the evening. it was thought Tammany had been kept within bounds and Fassett might have chance. The falling off in the country districts was great disap- pointment to the friends of Mir Fassett in the Administration, who had looked forward to a much larger majority. The comment made was that the result as compared with 1888 showed the necessity of national issue like the tariff to bring out the full Republican vote above the Harlem, and thus insure a majority large enough to overcome New York ana Kings county.

CHILEAN HATRED OF AMERICA. Trouble Charged to A FailuFs e
 Secure Reciprocity.


 PARIS, Nov. 3.-The animosity felt by the Chilean residents here against the United States is reflected in an in- terview with prominent member of the Chilean community Tn Paris. who attributes the enmity of the American government to the Chilean refusal to enter the customs union proposed by Mir. Blaine.
 Said this ChIlean: Several Chilean statesmen exchanged views with Mir Blaine. assuring him that as soon as there was visible any advantage that the United States conld grant to Chile in return for the surrender of her European trade the proposed customs union would have some chance of ac- ceptanee. Unable to do this the Wash ington government would not forgive the Chilean resistance to their pet scheme of a zollverein. Their spite was shown in their pursuit of the Itata, which was treated like slave dhow. It required all the authority of the Paris agents of the Chilean Congress, numerous telegrains having been sent by them to the commander of tho Esmeralda, to prevent the Esmeralda from fighting the United States cruiser Charleston.
 "A further proof of their hostility is found in the action of the United States admiral in watching the insur- gents at Cuintero and reporting their movements back to Baimaceda. The attitude of the United States over the sailor affair is unjustifiable. The United States government ought to have awaited the result of the official Chilean inquiry, relying upon the oper- ation of Chilean justice, which is equal if not superior to American jus tice. The reports that the Valparaiso police used bayonets must be ground less, for their only weapon is a staff.
