OOOO-CONGRESSMEN DEMOCRATIC.
New-York City was swept by Democratic
landslide yesterday that will furnish the Tam
many men high water mark quotations for
many day TO come. One hundred and thirteen
thousand plurality rough estimate at mid
night. and probably that is about the right ng-
ure.
The startling. almost heartbreaking, surprise
to the Democrats. however. was when. after the
early extras were out electing Coler by from
10000 to 10000, they learned the chilling news
that after ALL Odell had been elected Not in
years has there been election when Demo
cratic sympathizers were so wrought up over an
expected result only to suffer from sort OF
cold bath when the truth was known.
Around Tammany Hall the mob could not be
made to believe that CoIer had lost the state
The size Of the landslide below The Bronx was
of such magnificent proportions that it was I'M
possible for a Tammany man to believe that
anything had been left 10 comfort the Repuoh-
cans. The Republicans had their laugh last ana
then they had it long and loud They READ the
somewhat tardy returns from up the state with
the most intense satisfaction. When it became
apparent that Oden had a safe margin Demo
cratic joy turned to gloom and the Republicans
began to celebrate.
Tammany elected three Justices of the Su-
preme Court Edward B Amend E. E Mccall
and Vernon NJ Davis; all but one of its candi-
dates for Congress. eleven of its twelve candi-
dates for the State Senate, and thirty of its
thirty-five candidates for the Assembly.
Some Republicans elected are Senator Els

Charles F Murphy. the new leader of Tam
many Hall, is now hailed as great man. He
guessed the Democrats would carry greater
New-York by a plurality of 112,Wo. The actual
plurality was about 10000.
With the closing of the polls the crowds began
to manifest themselves in the neighborhood of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the Hoffman House
BY O'Clock Madison Square about i'm
passable. Three of the morning newspapers had
bulletin boards. around which great thrOngs of
| people assembled and patiently awaited the re-
suit of the returns. The crowds were in eX-
uberant spirits and tin horns were blown hours
| in advance of the final result
The earliest returns Indicated Democratic
| pluralities and gains in the city, and bulletins
! were posted indicating that COler would be
| elected. These indications of Democratic sue
