The Republicans elect tho legislature,
holding the senate by the same majority
they had in the last legislature, nameiy,8.
The Inst assembly contained 10 Repuhli-
cans and ~ Democrats. The next,
according to present indications, will
contain II Republicans and So Demo-
Gratis, Democratic gail of .. Some
Democrats claim gain OF 10 assembly
men a gain OF l6 would make the as
sembly Democratic. The Democrats
gain one assemblyman in Warner DIiller's
DISTRICT, Herkimer county. They gain
another in Saratoga county, the home of
Assistant Secretary Bachelor. They
gain another in Ontario. The well de-
served defeat of ''Silver Dollar" Smith
in tae Eighth assembly district in this
city is another Democratic gain. The
election Of Smith would have bsen dis
grace to the city. lie only recently eg-
capped being sent to Sing Sing prison by
a Enlargement of the jury.
In this city Tammany gains two
senator's and loses one, Thomas f. Grady,
Tammany Democrat, known as the Silver
TOngued Orator, was defeated by Ahearn,
County Democrat, but this Tammany
loss is gain for the state. l'ammany
elects Col William Il. Brown of the
Daily Ns,bs, az senator, over Murphy, q
County Democrat OF not the highest type
OF craftsmanship. 1t also gains another
senator by the election OF Boesoh. The
Republicans elect Lispsnard Stewart in
ths Eighth senatorial district, which was
last represented by Postmaster Van Cott,
but Stewart has very slender majority
over Turner, driver OF an ice wagon,
who only entered the canvass as the
Tammany candidate week ago. Turner
made brave md picturesque fight.
TAmmany gaias great victory over the
citizsns' ticket, the combination 0t county
Democrats and Republicans. II looks as
il had elected lis full county ticket With
the exception OF Gildersesve Tor Judge

Allison, Citizens. Gildorslesye'a election
is in doubt. At present he has a slight
lead over Fitzgerald, tho Citizens oendi.
date, who is running far ahead of his
ticket.
The city gives G5 900 TO 10000 major
| ity for the Democratic state ticket. 1t
will be observed that, though John j..
| O'Brien turned over his vote TO the DEM
ocratic state ticket, he ia defeated SO far
as his candidate for Assembly Smith, is
| concerned. The result in this city is a
dismal rout OF the County Democrats.
In Brooklyn the Democrats triumph as
they do here. Chaplin is reelected mayor
by large majority and is now in fair
way OF becoming the next Democratic
candidate for governor. LITTER returns
may change these results, but are mol
likely to do so.
The Democrats have gained a sub
stantisl trinmph all around. One of the
incidents of the local election ia the cleo
ton of Arnold as president of the board
of aldermen over Charles j. Canda, who
was assistant treasurer under Cleveland
and for years has been treasurer of the
Democratic national committee. Arnold
had the advantage OF running on the
Tammany ticket.
Indications are that New York City
will give the Democratic state tioke'
G5,O0D, and that Brooklyn will give il
10000. In this city Tammauy elects Is
assemblymen, the Republicans 4, County
Democracy A, the County Democrats aud
