New York, November 3.-Of the
lswenty-one aldermen elected in Great
er New York. five are Republicans and
sixteen Democrats.
For Chief Justice of the Court OF
Appeals Parker, Democrat, has a ma
jority in the State OF $3.50.
Taking the revised figures OF
returns from the boroughs of Bronx,
Brooklyn, Manhattan and Richmond,
and the unrevised figures from Queens,
the total vote for mayor of Greater
New York is:
Van Wyck (Democrat), 22S,943.
Low (Citizens Union), lat 1865.
Tracy (Republican), 101, 176.
George (Jeffersonian Democracy, 49,
TAI.
Van Wyck's plurality. S1,57S
Albany, N. Y, November 3.-The
returns from the State demonstrate
that the Republican landslide of the
last two years have been reversed, il
not by giving as large majority for the
Democrats, at least by changing some
thing like 100000 votes. Governor
Blacks plurality in the State last year
was over 100000. John Palmer, the
Republican Secretary of State, won the
year previous by over 100000. The in
dications are that these enormous plu-
ralities have swept away and reverse
plurality of 10000 is given.
The greatest surprises of the returns
are the great gains made in the AS
sembly by the Democrats, many of them
being in counties and districts where
there was no expectation on the part
of Democratic managers Of winning
Republicans explain these gains by at
tributing them to the heated munich
pal campaigns and the trading OF
votes To-day's returns indicate that
the Republicans will still control the
Assembly, although by very largely
decreased majority.
More surprising, perhaps, than the
returns on the State and Assembly dis
trict tickets were results u the munic-
ipal campaigns in the large cities. New
York, Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton
Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy, and
Schenectady elected Democratic may
ors. In Albany the conditions were
very similar to those in New York.
Two Republican candidates split up the
NOI6 Vi tudL pdlly oilO"Nu IH~
Democrat to win. The combined Re-
publican vote was 1000 in excess OF
the Democratic vote. In Buffalo and
Rochester Republican success was
thought to be almost assured prior to
election. but the results are foreign tC
the predictions.
TAMMANY'S GREAT VICTORY.
New York, November 3.-The result
of the election in Greater New York
was a complete victory for Tammany-
city, borough and county tickets.
Robert A. Van Wyck, the head of the
city ticket, was elected mayor of
Greater New York by plurality of
S7,30S. Each of the five boroughs con-
tributed to the total.
Seth Low, the Citizens Union can
didate for mayor, carried several as
sembly districts and polled a large
vote, but all the boroughs returned
pluralities for the Tammany forces.
Mr.. Low was well ahead Of Gen. Tracy,
the Republican nominee, who was
third in the race. Low polled JAG, 4l2
votes and Tracy 101 ,012. Henry
George polled 20,42z votes, and the
combined votes cast for Gleason,
Wardwell, Saniel and Cruikshank, the
candidates of the Prohibition, Social
ist-Labor and United Democracy par
ties. polled less than 5000. The indi-
cations are that with the exception
possibly of six of the q assemblymen
in Brooklyn and nine of the 35 in
New York, all the Tammany candi-
dates are elected. In Queens four of
the assemblymen are Democrats. The
Citizens Union elected two assembly
men in New York county.
The present representation in the
assembly from the counties in Greater
New York is: New York county,
twentv-three Democrats and twelve
Republicans; Kings county, seven
Democrats and fourteen Republicans;
Queens county, two Democrats and
four Republicans; Richmond county,
one Republican.
At least eighteen Democratic cOun-
cilmen, including the President, have
been elected, and the board of alder
men will be Democratic by a large
majority.
An exceptionally large vote was poll
ed, despite the Indictment weather, the
igures now at hand indicating that
)oU,UOU DallOlS were CAST o.ll VI q eo'oi
registration of 567,608. There were
comparatively few split tickets, vast
majority of the voters voting their
party ticket straight.
