Assemblymen elected throughout the
State is sixty-seven. They have cut the
number of Republican Assemblymen down
to seventy-four, which gives the Repupi
cans a majority of seven in the Assembly.
A combination of Democrats and Citizens
Union men will make a total OF seventy
six. or two more than the Republicans.
The Senate, however, remains as con-
stituted last year, there having been no
Senators voted for yesterday. The Sen
ate is overwhelmingly Republican, and
has a clean majority of twenty on joint
ballot.
In Manhattan and the Bronx the Demo-
cratic victory was most pronounced. Out
of a total of thirty-fve Assemblymen in
this city, the Democrats elected thirty.
The Republicans happened to get two OF
them. The Citizens Union did better than
the Republicans, having raked off three
Assemblymen in the scramble.
The significant feature of the compare
tive victory of the Citizens Union is that
two of them were elected in strong Repub-
lilcan districts, and the third in a district
where Tammany is strong, and from
which a Tammany Alderman was elected.
Tammany succeeded in electing its
Aldermen and Councilmen. In several
districts the result of the vote for Alder
man is still in doubt. So far as the re-
turns have come in from the doubtful
districts they show that the Tammany
candidates nave been elected. The COM
plete returns will probably establish the
fact.
The pluralities for the Tammany Alder
men in the doubtful districts referred to
are small. Where the count has not yet
been completed there are all the a from
a dozen to thirty districts missing. In
each instance there are enough votes yet
10. be heard from to change the result in
any of the districts.
The vote for Mayor was as follows
Van wyck, Observation-Disclosures, 49,
566; Kings, 1886; Queens, 1856; Richmond,

The plurality for Parker in this city in
dicates that the Democratic candidate for
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals re-
ceived the votes of the supporters of Low
and George.
Ashbel P. Fitch, the Republican candi-
date for Comptroller, ran ahead of Gen.
eral Tracy in the present city and in
Brooklyn, but Coler, the Tammany candi-
date, ran ahead of Van Wyck in Brooklyn,
where he received the votes of the Ma
tional Democrats. Charles S.. Fairchild,
the Cts candidate for Comptroller, ran
far behind Low, and Dayton, the candi-
date of the eJffersonian Democracy, ran
ahead of his ticket. Mr.. Fitch has a plu-
rality over Fairchild.
Randolph Guggenheimer, the Tammany
Candidate for President of the Council,
ran behind Van Wyck. The Tammany
| County ticket, which was endorsed by
the National Democracy in for the
nomination of Francis NJ. Scott, ran be-
hind the city ticket.
T~he.showing on this vote, 1t is expected,
will eliminate the so-called National Dem
~oocrats from organized existence in this
city.
To the surprise of his friends, Thomas
Sheriff. did not run ahead of Van Wyck.
1t was expected that Dunn would lead his
ticket. Thomas L. Hamilton, the Repub-
lican candidate for Sheriff, ran ahead OF
the Republican city ticket.
The Tammany candidates for Council
men rave been elected in the five Council
districts OF the present city and in the
boroughs Of Queens and Richmond. In
Brooklyn the Democrats ave elected five
of the nine Councilmen.
In the present city Tammany elected
thirty-three of the t~hirty-five Aldermen,
and for the Greater New York forty
| eight out of sixty. In the Municipal AS

ity of fity-six on joint ballot and will be
able to control all legislation and to trans
