thi
a reaction that led a large number OF Democrats
to vote the entire Republican ticket IN BROOKLYN
The MANY speeches and excellent campaign WORK
of Mr. Schieren were important FACTORS III the re-
suit There no happier man in the city yes
terday than he and he received thousands OF con-
gratulations. He proposes to take business "TRIP
TO Tennessee which will afford him the needed
change and rest after his exhaustive work. Tx

gratulatory kilograms.
CONTEMPLATING MR.. GAYNoR.

his election as Judge Of the Supreme Court Among
the messages was this from the Mayor-elect:
NV hearty congratulations upon your election. The
people appreciate honesty and fidelity OF purpose.

The Id Judicial District includes nine counties
In Kings County the vote was; Gaynor' %'l44;
Pearsall. TIPS; Gaynor's plurality, 2a4cG. The
normal Democratic plurality in the rest of the dis
trct Is about $780, but Mr.. Gaynor cut this down
so that his probable plurality is about 10000.
One of the most surprising incidents of Election
nav is the defeat Of George Knkel Supervisor-at-
largo for reelection. In 1891 Mr.. Kinkel won by
1s3s1 votes over Horace 4. Dresser Rep) NO"
hen has been defeated by Thomas Fitchie by piu-
ralisy of r.
Another Republican who experienced change OF
sentiment was George n. Mason. who declined the
nomination for Senator in the With District George
A Cnens who at first accepted the nomination,
afterward declined it, But his declination was net
made until too late to have his name left OF the
ballot and he was a candidate against his will
To his own surprise, more than that OF any one
else, he elected.
The victory OF William ]. Quitting, candidate
for Sheriff. over Thomas j. Patterson insures a
clean and business-like administration Of the al
fairs of an office which has been too long disgraced
by the present incumbent. Mr.. Buttling proposes
10 give his personal attention to the duties or his
Office and not leave them to his deputies exclu-
svely The total vote for Sheriff was: Buttling
(Rep) o. 7ee; Patterson Oem) 1929; Cuttings
plurality, $50 The vote for Supervsor-at-Large
was: Fitchie Rep), S,305; Kinkel CDem), 1923;
Fitchies plurality r. Five missing districts In
the county towns will probably increase this plu-
raty slightly.
The complete reversal in the control Of the affairs
of Brooklyn is shown by the change in the Board
of Aldermen. The present Board contains fifteen
Democrats and four Republicans. The new Board
will stand fifteen Republicans to four Democrats.
