New YORK. Nov. 3.-Roswell p. Flower
was to-day elected governor Of New York
by majority of about 5000. Governor
Hill claims 10000 Fassett's losses In the
state are attributed to Platt's effort to save
the legislature.
The Times late figures give the Republi-
cans a bare majority in the Senate eight
majority in the Assembly, and several dis
tricts in doubt. The falling off of Flowers
majority in the city is attributed to County
Democracy treachery. Sheehan ran nearly
even with Flower in New York city and
Brooklyn.
Bourke Cochran, D., is elected to Con-
gress to fill the vacancy caused by General
Spinolas death.
Ex-Mayor Chaplin. D., is elected to Con-
gress from Brooklyn.

bands $1,000. This shows conclusiyely

might have been expected, if anywhere, to
have hurt Fassett the most, and here,
where Tammany is in supreme control and
where that organization put forth its best
efforts in behalf of the candidate it forced
upon the state convention, Flower shows
himself to have been weakest and Fassett
strongest. The result in this city is rather
humiliating to Tammany. Flower owes

the unexpected way in which Fassett has

These are also two surprises of the cleo
