of New York to succeed David Il. Hill.
His plurality is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000. Fassett did not carry
Elmira, his own city, Flower beating
him there by 504 votes. This city gave
Flower $4,000 plurality and Brooklyn
gave him $4,000.
The vote in this city to-day was very
light. 1t had been expected that out of
the registration ot POI. 532 at least 240,-
900 ballots would be polled. But only
about 100000 persons voted. In the
Hill-Miller campaign more than POI, 900
votes were east. Comparatively, Flow
er ran as well as Gov. Hiii, whose plu-
rality was 50, 900, and who was elected
by $4,000.
Flower will take to the Harlem river
$4,000 plurality. II is doubtful if Fas-
set will bring down $4,000 to meet it.
