gain of assemblymen, and a gain OF
municipal officers in many cities In

elected Dewitt mayor of Binghamp-
ton. In Syracuse Republicans did not

aging about $4,000. The De.1.ocrats
elected 81 assemblymen AMI the Re,
publicans four, a Democratic gain OF
four. The Republicans will have a
majority of thirty-four in the assem-
bly,; Republican gain ten. Ia Kings
county (Brooklyn) the Democratic
ticket was elected by pluralties aver
aging 1900 except that Gray, Demo-
crat, for register was defeated by
Howe, Republican by 16S votes. This
was due to the fact that number of

support from Gray. In Kings county
the latest figures show assembly del
egation made up of twelve Democrats
and nine Republicans; Republican
gains 80. Queens county Democrats
elected two assemblymen; Republi-
cans one. One Of the surprises in
New York county was that O'Brien,
Independent labor party leader. nom
mated for sheriff by the Republicans
ran behind his ticket about $500 votes
OBrien is a delegate of the granite
cutters union and it was expected that
many workingmen would vote for
him who would scratch other names
on the Republican ticket. Apparent
ly just the reverse happened For

by the Republicans for justice of the
supreme court but not endorsed by
the labor party got more votes than

WILL CONTEST.
New York, Nov. S.-The Herald
says: While the Republicans admit
ted that Perez NJ. Stewart received
a greater number of votes in the nine
teenth assembly district they unani
mously declared that Robert Mazet
would again occupy his seat in the
assembly. 1t is announced that Ma
yet would make contest and there
was ample evidence to justify Re
publican legislature in throwing out
more than 400 votes which were cast
against him.
fs, MASSACHUSETTS.
Massachusetts for governor is com
plete; Crane, Republican 16S876;
Paine, Democrat, 1854; Republican
plurality 65,052. Vote of 1898: VOL
colt, Republican, 191, LAG; Bruce, Dem
eerat, 107,960. The Republicans re
gard the result as an endorsement ot
the policy of the national administra
tion in the Philippine islands. Or
the other hand the Democrats are
pointing to great loss of Republican
votes and claim Massachusetts has
' thereby entered protest against ex
pansion. The Democrats are jubilant
over the victory in Boston which after
giving a Republican plurality for gov
ernor the past three years gave Paine
a plurality of $780, 1t is claimed
that this forecasts the election of /;
Democratic mayor in December. Tn,
Democrats gained seven seats in tn,
legislature. Socialist Democrats il
some towns received a larger vot,
than that of either their Republican o.
Democratic opponents, but they car
ried only two districts
