New York, November 2.—The election
in New York to-day is for a judgfe of the
court of appeals and for members of the
legislature and for thirty-four congress
men, The nominees for the judgeship are
Buffalo,
The contest is between the two first
named, almost nothing having been hoard
of the prohibitionist candidate. There
has been little campaign work done for
either Daniels or Peckham. Both are
recognized as eminently worthy of the
E ositlon, but it is believed that Judge
laniels, who has long been
prominent on the supreme court bench,
will attract many democratic votes. The
World practically supported him mainly
because it considers Peckham an anti-Hill
nomination man. The vote for judge will
be compared with the gubernatorial vote
of last year. The state will vote also upon
the question whethe a convention for
revising the constitution shall be held. A
majority of all the votes cast at the election
is required for an affirmative decision. It
is believed this will be obtained, as both
parties favor a convention. Much more
interest centres in the election of 128
members of the assembly, as the next
legislature will elect a successor to
Senator Miller. Both parties are making
special efforts to carry the day. The re
publicans have a decided advantage. The
senate of thirty-two members which holds
over has a republican majority of 8. The
democrats, therefore, must elect 69 assem
blymen to control the United States sen-
atorship. The republicans need only 61.
The last legislature constated of 78 republi
cans and §0 democrats. Senator Miller,
who desires a re-election, has taken an
active part in the assembly campaign. In
congressional elec tions, il is believed that
the parties will about hold, their own,
though the result in several
districts is considered doubtful.
Etch party now has seventeen represen
tatives. Worthy of note is the nomination
by democrats of William Bourke Cochrane
in the twefch district, and of Geu. B. F.
Spinola in the tenth. Both men are un
compromising in their hostility to civil
service reform and to President Cleveland.
In the eighth district T. F. Rad, who bit
terly opposed Cleveland at the Chicago
convention and afterwards espoused But
ler’s cause, is running as an independent
democrat against Tim Campbell
who has the regular democratic nomina
tion and has been endorsed oy the
republics,..s. ri. c>. Cox will probably be
elected in Lhc ninth district, lu the thir
tieth district (Rochester) the democrats
have nominated Theo. Bacon, who was a
republican until 18&4. It is claimed that
there wui he a clone contest betiveen him
and C. 8. Baker, the present republican
member. The prohibitionists have made
nominations in nearly every congressional
district; blit is not believed that any now
on their ticket will be elected. In New
York city interest in the mayoralty con
test ovei shadows al^others. Tn j registra
tion is larger tnan ever before in an offl
year, being within 50,(J00 of tha.of 1884.
The labor organizations
WERE FIRST IN THE FIELD
and nominated Hemy George, the well
known writer and lecturer on social and
economic problems. His nomination was
endorsed by the liviug Hall democrats
and many -locial reformers. Preachers
and enthusiasm hocked to his standard.
They iv. re joined by 'all the socialists,
communists and anarchists in the city,
who hailed George’s eandiuaey as a great
step forward in tne levelling propaganda.
The George movement seumeu to be mak
ing great headway, when, to the surprise of
thu entire city, Tammany nominated
Horn AbramS. Hewitt, who has represent
ed the tenth district in Congress for many
years. This nomination was seconded by
the County Democracy and an aggressive
campaign’ was at once inaugurated. Fi
nally the Republicans made their nomina
tion, their choice fulling Theodore Roose
velt, a wealthy young man who dis
tinguished himself in his three
ye'is’ services in the state legisla
ture by active efforts and great
success in reforming long standing abuses
in the government of New York city. Few
persons seriously think that Henry George
will be electeo, but he may receive votes
enough to make the contest close between
the other candidates. It is thought that
his votes will be drawn principally from
the democrats. Both democrats and re
publicans are confident ot success. The
probabilities, however,
APPEAR TO BE IN FAVOR OF HEWITT’C
ELECTION.
Of the mugwump papers, the Post has vig
orously supported Hewitt, while the Times
has just as vigorously worked for Roose
velt. Considerable interest attaches to the
contest in Brooklyn for district attorney.
The Eagle has bolted Ridgeway, the regu
lar democratic nominee, Decause he has
failed to prosecute pool sellers, and has
pronounced in favor of Gen. B. F. Tracy,
the republican candidate, who promises, it
elected, to enforce rigidly the law against
gambling.
The Commercial Advertiser, after a care
ful canvass of each election district in this
citv, estimates that at no in the vote stood:
George, 47,400; Roosevelt, 60,100; Hewitt,
77,350.
New York, November 2.—'Three hun
dred and thirty districts give Roosevelt
24,336, Hewitt 32,833, George 22,604, Ward-
well 241. Forty-five election districts out
side of New York and Kings counties give
Peckham 4901, Daniels 7078. The same
districts last year gave Hill 6308 and Da
venport 8517.
New York, November 2.—Eighty-five
districts outside of New York and Kings
county give Peckham 10,612, Daniels
14.206.

377.
New York, November 2.—Seven hun-
dred and sixty districts give Roosevelt
67,328, Hewitt 84,282, George 61,669, Ward-
well 599.
The present assembly consists of seventy-
seven republicans and fifty-one democrats.
The changes at this hour indicate thut the
democrats have gained the third and tenth
New York districts and the republicans
have gained the Seneca and first Wayne
districts—one party thus balancing the
other.
New York, November 2.—Six hundred
districts give Roosevelt 46,832; Hewett,
65,824; George, 47,259. Wardwell, £27,
New York. The eighth congressional dis
trict gives Campbell 11,458; Gradj , 10,929.
The five districts are missing. One him-
dred and forty-six districts in Brooklyn
gives Peckham 27,929; Daniels, 22,651.
Seven hundred city districts give Roose
velt 53,955; Hewett, 78,308; George, 53,668, i
and Wardwell 532. One hundred and i
thirty-five election dlst-i,- s outside of New j
I York and Kings cou.i .es gives Peckham :
107,069 and Daniels 23,852.
New York, November 2.—Seven hun- |
dred and uinetv-one out of 812 districts j
give Hewitt 90,485, George 64,806, Roose- ;
1 velt 60,154, and Wardwell 428.
Returns from over 330 districts outside of
New York and Kings counties, show that
Daniels is getting about 89 per cent, of the
vote given to Davenport last year, while
Peckham is getting about 80 per cent, of
the vote given to Hill.
New York, November 2.— William
Bourke Cochran, democrat, is elected to
congress in the twelfth district.
New York, November 2.-8. S. Cox has
been elected to congress to fill the vacancy
caused by the withdrawal of Pulitzer.

Philadelphia, November 2.—The elec- j
tion in Pennsylvania is for governor, lieu-
tenant-governor, auditor-general, secretary
of internal affairs nnd twenty-eight con-|
gressmen. One of the latter is to be se- i
lected by a vote of the state at large and
the other twentv-seven by districts;
twenty-five members of the state senate,
(one-half of that body,) and all the mem
bers of the lower house of the legislature,
201 in number, are to be elected. The ndw
legislature will elect a United States sena
tor to succeed Senator Jno. I. Mitchell,
whose term will expire March 4, 1887.
gain of 411. Rockridge county is conceded
to Yost, republican, by 200 majority, a re
publican gain of 206.
Alexandria, November 2.—General
Lee’s majority in this city is 346. aim the
indi ations are that he will carry the dis
trict by upwnrds of 1500. A light vote was
polled throughout the district.
Richmond, Va., November 2.—The vote
of Petersburg, Va., for W. E. Gaines, re-
mbituatl, for congress from the fourth
" ’’age, democrat; 1375;
This it one of the
district is 1780; Mann Page, democrat, 1375;
Gaines majority 411.
The republicans have a majority of ninety-
three on joint ballot in the present
legislature. The prohibitionists, with a
complete ticket in the field, have made an
active canvass, and there is a belief on the
part of the democrats that a greater num
ber of voters for the prohibition ticket will
be drawn from the republican party, and
has made them hopeful that the number
of voters thus drawn from the regular re
publican ticket will be sufficiently great to
give Black, the democratic candidate for
governor, a plurality over Beaver.
Philadelphia, November 2—-The re
turns indicate Beaver's majority in the
city to be between 23,00!) and 25,000,
Harrisburg, Va., November 2.— Ten
out of 24 precincts in this (Rockingham
county) give Raller, ind., 275 majority oxer
O’Ferrall, deni, —a gain of 407 over the
J ubernaturial vote of last fall. Mount
aekson, Shenandoah count,y gives Raller
70 majority; Winchester, Frederick coun
ty, gives Raller 106 mnjority; Milnes, Pages
county, gives Raller 92 majority. Shenan
doah county—New Market gives O’Ferrall
76.majority; Strosburg, O’Ferrall 178 ma
jority; Woodstack, O'Ferrali 110 majority.
Warren county—From Royal gives O’Fer
rall 270 majority; Cedarville, O’Ferrali 48
majority, .
Philadelphia, November 2—Chair
man Cooper estimates Beaver’s majority in
the state at 33,000.
Philadelphia, November 2. — The
figures on the state ticket come in slowly,
but show an invariable gain for Beaver,
-epublican, for governor. His plurality in
this city will not fall below 2o,000. The
other candidates on the state ticket are
well up with the head. Bingham, republi
can's elected to congress in the first district;
Oneill, republican, in the second; Randall,
democrat, in the third; Kelly, republican,
in the fourth; Harmer, republican, in the
fifth; Ermentrout, democrat, in the eighth;
Heislan. republican, in the ninth; Sowden,
democrat, in the tenth; Bavkalow, demo
crat, in the eleventh; Bound, republican,
in the fourteenth; Maish, democrat, in the
nineteenth; Dalseli, republican, in the
twenty-second; and Bayne, republican, in
tlie twenty-third.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, November 2.—By the elec
tion in this state the entire congressional
delegation is to be chosen, but no state of
ficers of any kind are to lie elected. Of
the ten representatives in the present con
gress eight are democrats und two repub
licans. The feature of the campaign just
concluded has been the unusual apathy in
most of the districts. In ail tne districts
except the fifth, sixth and seventh the
fight is a square one between democrats,
und republicans. In the three districts
named, which are overwhelmingly demo
cratic, independents are in the
field. In this,' the third dis
trict, up to Saturday last the
canvass has been quite lively, as the
light.was a triangular one between the
democrats and republicans and the reform
labor party, each having a candidate ; but
owing io the withdrawal at the last hour
of the labor candidate, Wm. H. Mullen,
the contest is narrowed uown to Hon.
Geo. D. Wise the incumbent, and Ex-Judge
Edmund Waddi)I, republican. Mullen and
his adherents arc almost unanimously sup
porting the democratic nominee. From
present indications the political complex
ion of Virginia’s delegation in the 50th con
gress will remain unchanged.
Richmond, Va., November 2.—Weather
is clear and very pleasant. Voting at all
the precincts in the city was quite steady.
More than one-half of the city’s votes were
polled before noon Everything is moving
quietly. Reports from other points tn the
state iudieatea similar condition.
Richmond. November 2. The vote of
this eitv is, Geo. D. Wise;(democrat), 7447;
Edmund Wandell (republican), 5340.
Wise’s majority is 2107. democratic gain of
207 over ihe Inst congressional ote with
which comparisons for this election are
made. In Manchester Wise has a majority
of 242, a democratic loss of 41. But few
returns have been received from coun
ties in this, the third district.
Staunton, November 2.-Yost, republi
can, has a majority of 10S in Staunton and
adjoining precincts. The republican gain
is 214. Comparisons are made with the
vote of 1884, when the majority of Tucker,
democrat, was 1187 in this district over
Yost, republican.
Richmond, November 2—In the fifth
distriet, Brown, republican, for congress
has probably carried Henry countv by 1000
and Patrick county by about 300. If so.
the republicans gain about 1700. If this in
maintained in the dirtrict, a republican
will be elected. This district elected a
democrat in 1884 by a majority of 2488.
Elizabeth Citv county gives a republican
majority of 732-a loss of 23. Lynchburg
gives Hopkins, a Knight of Labor, a ma
jority of 505.
Lynchburg, Va., November 2.—This
citv gave S. J. Hopkins, labor candidate,
i sod majority. There are no definite par-
I ticulars from other points.
I Norfolk, Va., November 2.—Parks,
democrat, carries Norfolk cijy by 9 ma
jority over Bowden, republican. A demo
cratic loss. Portsmouth city gives Parks a
I reduced majority. The indications are
that the republicans have held their own,
and carried the district by a large majority.
STAUNTON, Va., November 2.—Staunton
| and eight county precincts give Bumgard-
I ner, democrat, 83 majority, a republican
black districts, und gives a heavy rcpobU-
can majority. Gaines’ election is certirin.
Danville, Va., November 2.—Til* re
turns from this district are meagre, bat it
is conceded that Brown, Independent re
publican, is elected over Geo. C. Gabel who
has represented the district for six terms.
This is a large democratic loss. t
Raleigh, V. C., November 2.—In the
first congressional district Latham, demo
crat, makes a gain thus far of 430. la the
second distriet Simons, democrat, gain*
about 1200. No returns nave been receive#
from the third district, but McClaminV,
democrat,has no opposition. In the fourth
district Nichols, independent, is making
gains on Graham, democrat. At many
points in the filth district Reid, democrat,
is making gains on Brower, republican.
Staunton, Va., November 2.—Alleghany
with two precincts to hour from gives
Yost, republican, 301 majority. Full re
turns will not alter the result.
Winchester, Va., November 2.—Glarke
county will give O'Ferrell over 500 major
ity.
O’Ferrell’s majority In Frederick county
is estimated nt 500.
Richmond, Va., November 2.—Returns
from numerous points in the state indicate
a falling oil' in the vote since the last elec
tion. Republican gains are reported in
everv direction. In the fifth district, John
R. Browne made a vigorous fight aud
has defeated Hon. George C. Cabell
democratic incumbent. In the ninth
Henry Bowen, republican, is opposed to
R. R. Henry, democrat. Indications to
night point to the election of Bowen, al
though the democratic mnjority in the
district at the last election was 1194. In the
tenth district Yost, republican, has greatly
reduced the democratic majority. Geotge
E. Bowden, republican, in the second
district and Wm. E. Gaines, republican, in
the fourth are elected by heavy majorities.
The contest in the first distriet between
T'ios. Croxton, democratic incumbent,and
T. H. B. Brown, republican, is also close
but nothing positive can be stated to
night.
WEST VIKtitMA.
Wheeling, W. Va., November 2.—Mea
gre returns at this hour indicate the re-
election of Goff, republican, In the HrSi
congressional district by an increased ma
jority.
MASS IlilUSKTTN..
Boston, November 2.—The vote of Hull,
which is the first received, and which is
considered an augury foretelling the re
sult in the state, stunds a tie of sixteen for
? ;overnor and lieutenant-governor. Long,
or congress, has one plurality. There Is
a tie for senator. The republican- repre
sentative hns a plurality of twenty-fitpr.
Amos, republican, 18,323.
Boston, November2.—Seventy-six towns
in Massachusetts, including the city of
New Bedford, gives for governor: Ames
15,948, Andrews 12,776, Lathrop (prohibi
tionist) 1320. Andrews will have a major
ity of nearly 10,000 in Boston.
Boston, November 2.—One hundred and
eight towns give Ames (rep.)| for gov
ernor 23,648, Andrews idem.) 18,740 und
Lathrop 2385 Boston is not included in
tne above.
Boston, November 2.—One hundred
and thirty-six towns and cities in
Massachusetts, including Boston with
the exception of one precinct to hear
from, gives Ames 53,204, Andrews 55,120
aud Lathrop 2306.
M A RVI.l Ml.
Baltimore, November 2.—The congres
sional election in this state to-day is at
tracting more than usual interest, because
of the multiplicity of candidates in some
of the districts. There is little probabiity
that the character of representation will
be changed.
Baltimore, November 2.—The canvass
ol the vote hi this city completed shows
the election of three democratic congress
man—Rusk in the third district, Kayner
in the fourth, uuu Compton in the fifth.
Baltimore,November 2.—To-day’s elec
tion in this city shows a large falling off
iroui the presidential vote of two years
ago. The vote of the entire city was then
63,335, wtiile to-day it was only 45,517, or
17,818 less than the presidential vote. This
cuu be accounted lor in the fact that a
large number of republicans refrained from
voting because they had no regular
candidates, aud took no interest in the suc
cess ot those who were presented for their
suffrage. The republican vote in Baltimore
in 1884 was 27,585, while to-day the vote
for the only straight out republican was
ric •’
only 1045. In the third district there was
ublican candidate; in the fourth dis-
ie moss of that party would not sup-
labor 143. The legislature stands: Republi
cans, 43; democrats, 33. Vatico, democrat,
is probably elected in the first district.
Hartford, Conn., November 2.—Sixty-
six towns give the republican ticket 16,502,
tiie democratic ticket 16,5-13. the prohibi
tion ticket 1438, the labor ticket 257. The
legislature is republican, so fur, 67 to 40.
MOUTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, November 2.—-The eloction in
this state is for justices of the supreme
court and seven superior court judges
eleoted on the general ticket. The con
gressmen, solicitors, county officers and
the entire legislature are democratic. The
supreme .judicial ticket is: W. N. H. Smith,
chief justice, Thos, S. Astie and A. S. Mer-
rimnn, associates. The republican state
committee declined to call a state conven
tion and present candidates, but an irregu
lar republican convention recommended
that Ralph P. Buxton be voted for ns
chief justice and W. A. Albertson and V. S.
Luske a3 associates. Nine congressmen
are to be elected. There is no special sig
nificance in the contest, the republicans
having resorted to independent candidates.
In the fourth nnd sixth districts the labor
question is involved. In the former dis
triet Judge Nicholas, the republican, runs
as an independent and is a lending Knight
of Labor. In the sixth distrlotC. U. Jones,
an independent democrat, is a Knight of
Labor. In the first distriet Barnett, an in
dependent democtat, opposes Latham, a
democrat. In the second distriet, which
is largely a republican district, two colored
men, O'Hara aud Abbott, are in the field
ns republicans, and Simmons is thu demo
cratic candidate.
Raleigh, November 2 — State returns
come in slowly, but they indicate demo
cratic gains.
SOUTH t:\ROMNA.
Charleston, November 2.—General
election in this state promises to lie un
interesting. The democrats have Laminat
ed a lull state ticket to which there is no
opposition. Seven congressmen are to be
voted for, but the only contest is in the
seventh district where Elliott, a demo
crat, runs against Smalls, a colored repub
lican. The only special feature is the
effort of the representation of the so called
new movement to obtain control of the
legislature. The ostensible object is aboli
tion of free tuition in the South Carolina
college and a reorganization of the agricul
tural deipart i.icnt,. It is not likely however
that the Tillmanites, ns they are called,
will have a majority in the legislature.
Charleston, S. C., November 2.—1? -
ports from all parts of the state, show u
quiet election and a very light vote.
There’s no opposition to tho democratic
8t,at. t ■ lc: or to i he demo,-ratio candidates
for congress, except in the sovent h district.
The vote in Charleston Is ridiculously

The only interest in the election in this
state is centered in tne iudepeiiCx.it nomi

and the contest between lilliolt. democrat,
and Smalls, republican, for cone ruas in tin:
seventh or “black” district. T1 ere are no
indications yet as to the result < f the local
fight in Berkely comity, but all reports
from the seventh district, show heavy dem
ocratic gains over 1834, when Smalls was
elected by 3501 majority. There is a strong
probability of Elliott's election, owing to
his strength as a cm.didate, the unpopu
larity of Smalls and the apathy of the col
ored voters.
UKOHtilA.
Augusta, November 2.—To-day’s elec
tion in Georgia is for members of congress
only the state officers having been chosen
October 3d, and there is no opposition to
the ten democratic nominees. Prohibition
is not a political issue In this state. It ex
ists in one form or another in about 115
out of 137 counties In Georgia. The
Knights of Labor do not extend beyond
six or seven counties in ihu state, and
they have not tuken any part in politics
except in Richmond aud Unatham coun
ties, and in those their tU'orts were not
successful.
Macon, Ga., November 2.—J. H. Blount
was re-elected as ooiigt’essinun from tho
6th district to-day, making his seventh
term. v A light vote was polled, because
there was no opposition.
Atlanta, November 2.—A light vote
was polled to-day. There was no opposition
to the regular democrat state nominees.
Augusta, November 2.—There was a
very light vote for congressmen through
out thu state and no opposition to the demo
cratic candidates. Everything indicates
an early settlement of the labor troubles in
Augusta. Probubly all the mills will be
working next week.
Atlanta, November 2.—Specials to the
Constitution from all of the Georgia dis
tricts show the election of tho entire dem
ocratic congressional delegation as follows:
T. M. Norwood, H. (4. Turner, G. F. Crisp,
T. W. Grimm, John D. Stewart, J. II.
Blount, J. C. Clements, II. H. Carlton, A.
port Findlay, independent democrat, who
had been indorsed by some of the leaders.
The great mass of republicans demanded
straightout nominations, and in the begin
ning of the campaign declared their inten
tion to vote for no other candidates; to
which they adhered, as is shown by the
small vote received by Findlay. So little
interest was manifested that after the;
poll of the democratic voce the
polling places were almost entirely
deserted, and but for the police guards ' D. Candler and (ieo. T. Barnes. There
would scarcely have been noticed. The I was no opposition to the democratic nom-

nearly one-third of the towns in New |
Hampshire show a republican loss of about j
200 oil the popular vote, as compared with
that of 1484. The indications are that
there is no choice for governor by the peo
ple.
Concord, N. H., November 2.—Returns

active canvass throughout the stulu,
