vacancies caused by three designations and
one death, eight justices of the supreme
court, full senate of twenty five members,
/ and full assembly of 1913 members. The
present state officers are democrats. Con-
eressmen last elected in the district where
the election was held to-day were, demo-
Gratis three, republicans one. The last SEN
ate consisted of nineteen republicans. thir-
teen democrats; the last assembly of sixty
eight democrats, sixty republicans. New
York city also votes for local judges, coro-
ners and aldermen; Brooklyn for mayor
and other city officers. Comparisons will
be made with the vote for governor in 1888.
In New York city Flower up to nine p. m.
made noor showing. Even his later ma
jority of $1,000 is much less than the nat
ural democratic majority of the metropolis
The falling off here is attributed tpthe nc
tion of the county democracy in resenting
the exclusion of their delegates from the
Saratoga convention. Kings Richmond
and Queens counties, however, showed
gains for the democrats. Late returns
showed remarkable gains from dlstricts
controlled by Tammany Hall. The falling
off of votes in the counties north of Harlem
river seems due to the action OF ballot and
registration laws under whioh the election
was held, and seems to indicate that the
purchase Of votes has come to standstill.
The democracy carried both congressional
iistricts. Tenth and Twelfth. Little, of the
latter, was elected to succeed Flower, and
Cochran was elected from the Tenth. Tam
MANY carried all senatorial districts except
one.
In the assembly Tammany made almost
a clean sweep OF the city. the republicans
gaining one district. ...
