"Returns are 80 incomplete that it is
impossible to discuss yesterdays election
in detail Republicans everywhere in
dorsed the Republican administration

TAMMANY CARRIED new YORK
Van Wyck Has Plurality Of $4,000
Rest Of Democratic Ticket Elect
ed by Large Vote.
REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE is REVERSED
Republicans Will Control General AS
sembly, But by Largely Decreased
Majority-Democratic Mayors
in All Large Cities.

New York, Nov. 3.-The result of the
first municipal election in Greater New
York completely reverses the conditio IS
of 1896 when McKinley's plurality in the
same territory was 56,865. Var
Wyck, the Tammany candidate for may or,
received about $4,000 plurality and the
entire ticket is elected with majorities
ranging from 10000 to 100000. Coler's
plurality over Fitch, Republican, for
comptroller, is over 100000. Both Van
Wyck and Coler we're free silver adhe-
rents in 1896. Alton B. Parker, Demo-
crat, for judge of state court of appeals,
carried Greater New York by 10000, and
his total plurality over Wallace, Repub-
llcan, below Broux river, will not be less
than 100000, insuring his election and
Democratic success in the state. Such a
rush to the polls has never been known
except in presidential years.
1t ls claimed that young George lost
many votes through the failure of the in
spectlon officers to attach his paster to
the msyoralty tickets. The unofficial
vote for mayor is as follows: Van Wyck,
235,S00; Low, 1883; Tracy, 10l 1893;
George, 20,832; Gleason, 5l2.
Van Wyck said today: "As we begin
this first year in Greater New York there
is much to do. Liberty must be restored
to all citizens, protection of their rights
must be resumed, piliage of public money
must cease, extravagance must be die
continued, waste must be stopped, schools
must be built, streets must be reclaimed
from chaos, and taxes brought to a
proper level. Private interest has too
long governed this city; it must give way
to public good. Efforts of trusts, mon
opolies, com binations, whether corporate
or private, to choke competition and
fleece citizens by false high prices will be
withstood and beaten down."
RETURNS FROM STATE ELECTIONS,
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Returns from
the state demonstrate that the Republican
landslides of the past two years have
been reversed, if not by giving as large
majorites for the Democrats, at least
by changing something like 100000
votes.
Governor Blacks plurality in the state
last year was over 100000. The indica.
tions are that this enormous plurality
has been swept away, and reverse plu-
rality between 10000 to $4,000 given
The greatest surprise is the great gains
made III the assembly by the Democrats,
many being in counties and districts
where there was no expectation on the
part of Democratic managers to win.
Returns indicate that the Republicans
still control the assembly, although by
largely decreased majority. New York,
Buffalo, Rochester, Binghsmpton, Syra-
cuse, Utica, Albany, Troy and Schenectady
elected Democratic mayors.

Sheridan four weeks ago, on the orders

charge of desertion, will serve but half
the sentence imposed upon him then. AS
mitigated by General Brooke the sentence
compels Hammond to serve in prison
only six months, and there is no provi-
sion for dishonorable discharge, that
being deemed too severe by the com

New York, Nov.3 Losses in the prices

not due to any heavy liquidation. Prices
of American securities in London, on ac
count of doubts aroused in the minds OF
foreign security holders ss to how to in.
terpret the elections on yesterday, have
taken sharp downward tendency. Wall
streets mind was apparently somewhat
perturbed also with the idea that there
