estimated at 10000. All the interior towns
show heavy gains.

ported, give Church, Democrat for Chief JUS
tice of Cont o. Appeals, 55.943, and Selden,
Republican. 1915. The Sth ward, in which
the coored registration was the heaviest,
gives the largest ma ority of any, viz. : 7.436,
in a tariff of 9.5l2 votes. All the Tammany
candidates for the minor offices are doubtless
elected. The indications that Brooklyn
has also given from 10000 to $1,000 Demo
cratic majority, and elected the Democratic
city ticket by 5000 to 10000. One hundred
and eighty-nine cities. towns and districts
scattered through the State, give total ma
joritics of 1896 for Church, and 8, 204 for Sell
den, indicating that the State outside of the
city. has gone heavily for the Democrats.
Among the cities are the following
Majority for Church-Elmora, AL; Nor
rsana, SIS; Newburn, Il; Cohoes, 275;
Hudson, 2.o; Canandagua, 1872; Oswego,
