Hill Beaten by 10000, and Tammany
Fairly Wiped Out of Existence.


New YORK, Nov. 6.-The expected
Republican landslide in this State far
surpassed the widest dreams of the
widest Republican partisan. Hill has
been defeated by Morton for governor
by plurality conceded by the Demo-
Gratis to be 125,000 and claimed by the
Republicans as high as 100000. Tam
many Hall in this city has heen shat
tered and Strong, the union candidate
for mayor, elected over Grant by fully
10000 majority. The full returns will
probably increase this figure.
John w. Golf, for recorder, whose
service as counsel to the LeXow com
mittee has made him the most con-
spicuous figure in this city for months,
runs ahead of his ticket several thousand
votes. Golf may have over Smythe for
recorder majority of 10000 votes. All
the candidates on the union local ticket
run well up to Mr.. Strong.
CONGRESSIONAL GAINS.
On the national battle ground the
Republicans have done equally well.
They will gain, it is thought, dozen
Congress seats in this State. Some
notable figures go down i'll the Demo-
cratic disaster.
Quigg is reelected in this city, beating
Connolly by over 1000 votes; Amos j.
Cummings defeat by Judge Shannon,
r., is probable. AT late hour they
are running neck and neck, with Shan
non ahead.
Harry Miner is elected, beating Tim
Campbell for Congress in the Ninth dis
trict by q small plurality. Suizer is
doubtless defeated by Low, r., for
Congress. In the Albany district, Gen
eral Tracey, D., is beaten by South.
wick. The race between Chesebrough
and Mcclellan for Congress in this city
is close and the result doubtful.
In Brooklyn (Kings county, the Re.
publicans capture all five of the Con.
gressional seats, Coombs, their strongest
man, being beaten by Francis Wilson
by 5000 majority.

cept that out of Il registered vote oI
308,000 in this city only about 100000
