New York, Move. Returns received
up to midnight from all the states
where elections were held today are
very incomplete, with the exception OF
New York state, where also the returns
at the hour mentioned were by no
means full and satisfactory. In this
city Robert A. VanWyck, theTammany
candidate for mayor of Greater New
York, is elected by from $4,000 to 1OO,-
900 plurality. The vote for Low and
Tracy, if combined, would have defeat.
ed him by from 10000 to 5000 votes
The George vote, to the surprise of all,
went to pieces, and will probably not
be greater than 10000.
In the legislature the democrats have
gained fourteen seats. Incomplete re-
turns show the election of sixty-nine
straight republicans, sixty-six demo
Gratis, seven anti-machine republicans,
one citizens union candidate. Six dis
tricts are in doubt. The entire Tam
many county ticket is elected, and the
regular democrats swept the borough
of Brooklyn also.
Wallace (Rep.) for chief justice Of
the court of appeals, is defeated in the
state by Parker Dem. by large ma.
iority, probably $4,000.
Wolcott rep. is elected governor Of
Massachusetts, by SS, 900 over Williams,
free silver democrat The vote fell of
nearly one half in the state.
The republicans carried Pennyslva
mia by decreased majority. Deacon
(Rep.) is elected state treasury by from
100000 to 1876, 900 majority The vote
fell off heavily in many counties, nearly
80 per cent in some, owing to the BAG
weather and lack of interest in the re
suit.
In New Jersey enough additional re
publicans were elected to the legisla
ture to assure the state to the republi
cans and thus give them the selection
of the next United States Senator t.
succeed Smith (Rep.)
Maryland is very close, both side
claiming the state, but returns are 81
meager as to place the result in doubt
Apparently Malster rep. has carried
Baltimore by 2, 900 majority.
In Virginia great apathy was shown
and not more than so per cent Of tn,
usual vote was polled. The democratic,
ticket will get a majority of $4,000
The republican representation in th,
Legislature will be smaller than las
year.
The Ohio democrats were early claim
ing to have defeated Hanna's candi
dates for the legislature. Hamilton
county elected democratic delegation
by substantial majority. Early re
turns indicated Bushnell's defeat, bu
later returns seemed to indicate hi
election. There was so much scratch
ing today that results are slow in foot
ing up, Bushnell ran so we'll in Hamil
ton county that Chapmsn's msiorit,
will not exceed 1, 200 in the county, al
though some other democrats an'
fusion candidates will reach severa
thousand. The Commercial Tribune
of Cincinnati, claimed at II o'clock tina
Bushnell will carry the state by $500
and that the Legislature will also be re
publican. The Enquirer will CLAIM
