It was only through the aid of a quad of police reserves that Mr. Murphy managed to make his way within the building, as hundreds in the congested mass fought to reach his hand. ‘When hb finally made his way inside he was conducted to the Dxecu- ice Committee room, where several scores of well-known politicians gave Kim a great ovation. When asked for an expression of his feelings Mr. Murphy said: “I really have nothing further to say than has already been said in my btatements during the campaign. The figures speak for themselves, and through them the people have spoken. Of course I am pleased with the \ wesults. It bears out the predictions I made a week ago. “If there had been another week of the campaign I think Mr. Devery's wote might have been greater than that received by Mr. Low.” At the Fusion headquarters on Twenty-third street there were scarcely. h dozen persons receiving the returns after 7 o'clock. At 8 o'clock Mr. Cutting and one of his lieutenants were alone in the great, dreary rooms. Mr. Cutting had nothing to say. He seemed absolutely crushed. 3 ‘ Without the headquarters crowds of thousands marched up and down the streets blowing horns, waving rattles and banners and creating a tre- ; mendous din. Union Square was crowded by a great throng slowly moving from one bulletin board to another, cheering vociferously the returns that more and more indicated the size of Mr. McClellan's victory. On Park row the crowd began to gather when the polls closed, and by the time the first return was announced City Hall Park was black with ®& waving mass of people. The same demonstrations were made all over the tity where ‘bulletins were posted showing the returns. Even in Brooklyn Uhere were scenes of extraordinary enthusiasm.

McClellan’s plurality will probably reach 65,000 in the Greater New York and may go beyond this figure. : Within two hours after the polls closed the election of McClellan was assured by a tremendous plurality. There was every indication that he would carry Brooklyn, or, at least, cut the plurality of Low over Shepard to a trifling figure. These expectations were realized when the later returns showed that McClellan would have between 4,000 ahd 5,000 plurality in Kings County. Grout and Fornes showed surprising strength all over the city. In Manhattan and the Bronx they ran two votes to one against their opponents in the first returns MURPHY CLAIMS 86,000. Charles F. Murphy, with 10 per cent. of the vote it, predicted that his estimate of 86,000 plurality for the Democratic ticket in Manhattan and the Bronx was more likely to be realized. Senator McCarren claimed Brooklyn for McClellan by 3,000 and John Shea by 4,000. The crowd in Tammany Hall was assured that McClellan would be elected at the arrval of the preliminary figures, There was an impromptu war dance on the main floor and preparations were put under way for a big celebration.
