New YORK, Nov 3.-The election in
New York State to-day was for Governor,
Governor, Secretary of State,
Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney-Gen-
eral, Engineer, Congressman to fill va
cancies caused by three designations and
one death, eight Justices of the Supreme
Court, full Senate of % members and a
full Assembly of 12S members. The pres
ent State officers are Democrats. The
Congressman at the last election in the
districts where elections were held to-day
were Democrats 3. Republican l. The last
Senate consisted Of 10 Republicans and 13
Democrats. The last Assembly was COM
posed of 6S Democrats and co RepubIi-
cans. New York City also voted for local
Judges, Coroners and Aldermen Brook
lyn for Mayor and other city officers.
Roswell P. Flower was elected Gov
ernor of New York, to succeed David B..
Hill. His plurality is estimated at $4,000
to 24,000. Fassett did not carry Elmira,
his own city. This city gave Flower S.
600 plurality, and Brooklyn 1900.
Returns from the districts on the south
side of New York and Kings County in
tlCdlbC Gllo1b Il elSSCbS lletS DS6l ll6Gblu2 FOl-
gers fate. In Jefferson. Clinton. Essex.
Montgomery and Wyoming Counties he
is far behind the vote of Miller. Flowers
gains on the decreased vote ahead of
HilPs vote i'll this city was very light. 1t
was expected that out of a registration of
26l, ,532, at least 200 votes would be
polled, and about DO, 900 voted. Compar-
atvely, Flower ran as well as Hill, who
was elected by a plurality Of 10000.
Flower will take to HarleL4 River $4,000
plurality. 1t is doubtful if Fassett will
bring down $4,000 to meet it.
The Democrats are gaining Assembly
men in the State. Sheehan is not doing
as well as Flower, but his election is as
Sured.
In New York City, Flower, up to 9 P.
NJ, made poor showing, even his later
majority of 5S, 600 was much less than the
natural Democratic majority Of the met
ropoliS. The falling off here is attributed
to the action of the County Democracy re-
Senting the exclusion of their delegates
from the Saratoga Convention. Kings,
Richmond and Queens Counties, how
ever, showed gains for the Democrats.
Late returns showed remarkable gains
from districts controlled by Tammany
Hall. The falling off of votes in the
counties north of Harlem seems due TO
the action of the ballot and registration
laws under which the election is held and
seems TO indicate that the purchase of
votes has come to a standstill.
The Democracy carried both Congress
sional Districts-Eighteenth and Twelfth
Little, of the latter, is elected to succeed
Flower, and Cochran was reelected from
the Tenth. TammaDy carried all the
Senatorial districts except one. In the
Assembly, Tammany made an almost
clean sweep of the city, the Republicans
gaining one district.
The Tammany candidates for the Ju-
dietary were elected by large maiorities.
The Board of Aldermen was swept bv
Tammany.
Returns from all parts of the State
show Fassett's majority outside of this
city and Kings County viii not exceed
49,Z1. Flowers majority in this city and
Kings County will be about z, 600.
One thousand and eightyfour outside
districts, out of total of 1888, give
Flower 122, ,324, Fassett I26,775. The same
In 1888 gave Hill l33,615, Miller 1851.
The districts not yet heard from in 1883
gave Hill 266, 4G3, Miller 29s, ,5S3.
Flowers majority in the State viii be
about 25,000.
3 3A.M.-One thousand six hundred and
nineteen districts, outside OF this city and
Kings County, give Flower III, ,6S6, Fas-
Sett 10000. The same i'll 1888 gave Hill
1877, ,S24, Miller 242,279. The 1,734 outside
districts not yet heard from in 1883 gave
Miller plurality of 1861. In case Fas-
SSjt SnOulu nave the same plurality, his
total outside plurality would be III ,g75.
Flowers plurality in New York City and
Kings County being 1890, his plurality
in the State viii thus be about 4, 300.

Press indicate that the Senate will be:
Democrats I6, Republicans 16.
