New York city sends a solid Democratic
delegation to Albany this year OF thirty mem
hers. Such thing has not occurred since
1870 when twcnty-four Democrats went from
New York. One OF them was returned by q
majority Of 81 votes. ono by a majority Of 1872.
and ono by majority OF 100. and In all three
districts the accuracy OF the count was dis
puted. This year there is no such dispute.

Four Police Justiceships have been vacant

places on tho police bench. Mayor Gilroy will
have the filling Of the post now held by Judge

Now York responded nobly to the first call for
votes with $4,000 majority.
One result OF Tuesdays contest Ia to leave
Judge John Sedgwick. the only holder OF an
elective municipal or Judicial post. on the Re.
publican side. Until Tuesday Judge Cowing
shared that distinction. but after Jan. 1 he
will owe his position OF City Judge to Demo
cratic nomination and Democratic votes
Thomas J. McMnnus. tho only candidate not
nominated and supported by Tammany to DO

Is native OF New York and % years OF age.
He made a gallant race against big odds. and
fairly won an honorable triumph. Mr.. Nc
Manus was nom her OF last yenrs Legisla-
ture. and his record as Democrat there was
satisfactory to his constituents. He had the
advantage Of Judge Murray's strong support.
Mr.. McManus was one OF those who resigned
from tho County Democracy when Judge Muir

member since. though enormously described

One encouraging result OF the sweeping
Democratic local triumph on Tuesday Is the
evidence furnished by it Of the danger and fu-
tility OF Democratic factonal divisions when
gre at issues arc mt stake. With but one DEM
ocratic organization in charge OF the affairs OF
the party. and that organization the splendidy
disciplined and skilfuly generated Tammuny
Hall. majority of 10000 for the Democratic
national ticket has rolled up against $4,000 In
1883. $1,000 in 1884. and 4I.OOO in 1sSO-all
three OF them years Of Democratic division
and fractional strife over city offices. In Kings
county. whore Democratic divisions have for
many years been happily unk known. splendid
results were achieved on Tuesday. and the ad-
vocates OF a local disturbance Ito bring out
the Democratic vote" will have to take roar
seats henceforth.
1t is the universal admission of local Demo-
cratic leaders that in every big Democratic
constituency it was the Force bill issue that
brought the democrats to the polls. as they
have never before come in such numbers. in
New York. Nor is this fact disputed by the
Republican district lcaders-that is. such q
number Us have not been knocked speechless
by the purty's overthrow. In many Of the dis
tricts in the central part OF town whore the
independent and wuverinE vote is large. the
antics and absurdities OF little Johnny Daven-
rort. his bulldozinG tactics. threats. boasts
and inusticcs turned scores OF Republicans
away from the ticket Of the Force party and
brought them into the Democratic ranks in the
roundup. Davenport contributed much. no
doubt to the Democratic success. md in no
respect more directly than by the wholesale
and unnt 2essary appointment OF marshals
which he dictated. All undue proportion OF
whom. by the way. were colorcd roustabouts
from corner saloons.
Probably tho most disappointed Republic
can in New York city on Wednesday morning
was Jacob NJ. Patterson. and undoubtedly the
most surprised Republican was William II.
Bellnmy. Patterson had full charge Of tho To-
ca Republican canvass. and sucl, Was his con-
tldeEce in his ability. crattiness. acumen. far
siEhtedness. and saGacity that all matters OF
Importance were referred to him while Deilamy
gave his attention to the eNecuton OF the de-
tails. Tho plan Of campaign was marred out
by Patterson. and all nominations. municipal
or district were supervised hy him. SO that
they might 10 in harmony with his general
plan OF attack. Eollamy. in his capacity of
secretary OF the County Committee. acted as
sort OF safety valve with facts and figures. but
tho result OF Il all WAS that Harrison lost every
Assembly district in town: so did Einstein: so
did tho Republican candidates for Congress.
Assemblymen. and Aldermen. and nowhcro
was the overthrow Of tho Republicans more
decisive than IN l'attcrsons own district. tho
Seventh. in which the Republican vote fell of
GiO compared to four years ago. Mr.. Harrison
was the first Republican candidate to lose
every ward or Assembly district in this city
since tho foundation Of the Republican party.
After March 4 Now York will havetwo Demo.
