 In the various municipal contests re- ported from up the State, the most in- teresting election noted were those or Albany, Troy, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo. The city of Albany was car- ried by the Republicans, former Senator David P. Hill taking no active part Tn the local canvass The election in Troy was A lively one, a number of arrests for illegal voting being made. Former United States Senator Murphy headed the fight for the candidate of the Demo- crats, while former Governor Black man. aged the campaign for the progressive Democratic Republican ticket. Daniel E' Conway, the candidate for Mayor, sup norted by former Governor Black, was easily elected In Buffalo the entire Re- publican city and county tickets were elected Erastus C. Knight, the State Comptroller, being chosen Mayor. The result in Rochester was close, but Mayor Warmers friends claim the election of the Republican candidate.
