New YORK, Nov. 9.-The Democratic
majority in the city for Secretary Of State
is 40, 900. Huested, for State Treasurer, |
was 1000 behind the Republican State
ticket in the city. Wadsworth (Rep.) is
elected to Congress in the Twenty-seventh
District. Hardy (Dem.), for Congress,
a large majority over Thomas Muir
ply (Rep.) Flower (Dem.) defeats Astor
tRep.) by 1000 for Congress. McKeon
(Dem.), for District Attorney, has been
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The Democrats have elected six out of
seven State Senators, and II of the "a
Assemblymen. The indications are that
the Democrats have secured six Of the
District Aldermen, the Republicans secur-
ing seven and Tammany only three. The
indications are that the Republicans have
succeeded in electing their Marine Court
Judges. Most of the Democratic candi-
dates for civil Justices have been elected.
The election in Brooklyn resulted in a Re-
publican victory. The principal interest
was concentrated in the Mayoralty, in the
contest for the success of which both par
ties gave their best energies. The returns
indicate the election of Seth Low (Rep.)
by a fair majority over James Howell
(Dem.) present Mayor. The Democrats
have elected Senator John G. Jacobs and
John J. Herman. In the Third District
Charles H. Russell (Rep.) has been re-
turned. The Democrats have elected
9 of the IL Assemblyfen, and a majority
of the Aldermen. The defeat OF Surro-
gate Calvin for reelection is q blockade for
Tammany. The county Democratic can
.didate, Walker, has q larger vote than
Calvin. The Republican candidate for
Surrogate has a large plurality. Although
Tammany first placed John McKeon in
nomination for District Attorney, he later
became the nominee OF the county Demo-
cracy, and even his election is interpreted
as a defeat Of Tammany owing to his an
tagonism to that organization. One hun
bred and eighty-two towns outside of New
York and Kings counties show a Republi-
can majority Of 1851, a net Democratic
gain Of 1892. The same ratio will give
the State to the Democrats by over 80, 900.
