NEW YORK.

ing ever witnessed in this city over
n municipal election, the day when
the ballots were cast passed with un-
wonted quiet, considering the high
feeling which had previously been ex-
.hibited. There were few fights at
the polls among individuals, but none
of a serious nature, and out of the
scores OF arrests made-and most of
these were on charges of technical
echaracter-but few prisoners were
held by the magistrates.
The great feature of the voting
was the early casting of ballots. This
applied to the brown stone as well as
to the tenement house districts.
The practical use of voting ma
chine was demonstrated in the
Eighteenth district of the First as
.sembly district, Brooklyn, and the re-
esult was known at 5:03 in the after
moon, immediately after the polls
were closed. No difficulty was ex-
sperienced in recording the vote. and
i'm many instances men cast their
votes in less than three seconds.
An incident which attracted atten-
tion in New York City was the re-
fusal of the election judges in one
district to allow one voter to cast
mis- ballot because he had made bet
of box of cigars on the result of the
election.
Crowds such as are seen on the
might of presidential elections sur
rounded the bulletin boards of the
newspaper Offices. Because of the
danger of accidents resulting from
the subway excavations, near the
CITY hall, some 500 policemen were on
hand. A Gordon was formed which
practically shut off Park Row from
the head of Beekman street to the
bridge entrance and the streets lead
11ng into Park Row at that point were
CLOSED. The street ears were stopped
at Centre street.
One man, believed to be f. J. Null
laney, of Clifton, n. j., while watch
ing the bulletins near the Staats Zeit-
'ung building, was jostled off the side
walk by the crowd and, falling on the
stone roadway, fractured his skull.
lie died soon after.
The bulletin announcement of Mr..
Lows election was the signal for a
series of impromptu election parades
around the district, in which the
young man with the kiaring tin horn
vas as usual very much in evidence.
Seth Low, former president of
Columbia university, and four years
ago the Citizens union candidate for
the first mayor of Greater New York,
was elected the second mayor of
Greater New York by a plurality
ranging anywhere from 10000 to 4O,-
900, defeating Edward NJ Shepard, of
Brooklyn, the democratic nominee.
The vote was the largest ever polled
.dn a municipal contest.
In addition to the canvass for mavor
-pcblic interest largely centered in
the nomination by the fusionists of
William Travers Jerome for district
attorney, and Mayor Robert A. Van
Wyck by the democrats, for Justice
OF the supreme court. They were
voted for only in the territory con-
tanned in New York county. Jerome
us elected by considerable plurality,
but Mayor Van Wyck is defeated. the
latter running behind his ticket from
$4,000 to 10000.
Returns also Indicate the complete
triumph of the Greater New York
fusion ticket, Charles Vincent For
mes, the nominee of the Citizens
union and the republicans for presi-
dent of the board of. aldermen, de-
feating George NJ. Van Hoesen, the
democratic nominee.
E. NJ. Grout, for the past four years
democratic president of the borough
'of Brooklyn, now the fusionist nomi-
nee for comptroller, has also defeat
ed w. w. Ladd, jr., democrat.
In the borough of Queens the cleo
tion of Joseph Cassidy, democrat, as
president of the borough over Henry
Doht, republican, and Robert B. Law
renee, Citizens union, is conceded.
In the boroughs of Brooklyn, Man
haitian and the Bronx additional and
possibly official returns will be re-
'quired to determine the results for
borough president and other local
Officers.
Reports received from the various
sections of New York state show that
the republicans will retain control
of the lower house of the state leg
-islature, the number of republican
and democratic assemblymen not diff
fering materially from the figures of
preceding years. In the various mu-
.nicipal contests reported from up
-the state the most interesting cleo
ftions noted were those of Albany,
Troy, Rochester, Syracuse and Buff
,falo. The city of Albany was car
Tied by the republicans, ex-senator
David b. Hill taking no active part
in the local canvass.
The election in Troy was a lively
one, number of arrests for illegal
voting being made. EX-United States
Senator Murphy headed the fight for
the candidate of the democrats, while
ex-Gov. Black managed the campaign
for the progressive democratic-re-
publican ticket. The candidate for
mayor, ID. E. Conway, supported by
the former governor, was easily
elected. The result in Rochester was
