In the four counties of New York city
the usual big Democratic maJorities were
rolled up, every candidate in every coun-
ty being elected, except Gray, Demo-
cratic candidate for recorder of Kings,
against whom charges of corruption had
been made.
Tammany shows no elation over the
plurality Of 45, 900 for its New York coun-
ty ticket, having expected it. The re-
joicing is over the defeat of Assembly
man Robert Mazet, Republican, by Perez
M. Stewart, In the Nineteenth assembly
district, which usually is strongly Repub-
lican.

the Fifth assembly district, against
whom the labor unions made fight, was
reelected.
The Thirty-fourth congressional district,
e. B. Vreeland, Republican, was elected
by an enormous majority, at least TO-
900.

turns, as compared with Roosevelt's
plurality of 1875 last year.
