IANNANYS TRIUMPH.
Geo. B. NCIeII0R Elected M0y0 Of
New York By 0 Plurality Of
10000 Votes.
Democratic Victories in Maryland,
Kentucky and Rhode Island. Tom
Johnson is Defeated in Ohio.

After q remarkable campaign, in
which there was united against him
nearly all Of the newspapers and
practically every minister of religion
in the city, George b. NJ M'Clellan, son
of the civil war general, was on Tues
day elected third mayor of Greater
New York, by the large plurality of
10000.
Edward NJ. Grout was reelected
comptroller and Charles V. Fornes
president of the board of aldermen.
These two men were originally on
the Fusion ticket and were indorsed
by Tnmmany, whereupon the Fus-
i0nists took their names from the
Low ballots and nominated other
candidates.
1t was the nomination of GrOut and
Fornes by Tamlnany that caused
Hugh Mclaughlin, the veteran lead
er of the Kings county Democracy,
to bolt and declare he would not sup
port men who were not Democrats.
In spite of this detection, however,
Mcclellan, Grout and Fornes carried
Kings county. The management of
their campaign there was taken over
by State Senator Patrick H. McCar-
rem, to whom Mclaughlin refused
his aid.
The surprise was the small vote for
William S. Devery, former chief OF
police, who ran on an independents
ticket, Which was given practically
no support.
This result shows tremendous
change in public sentiment since
Mayor Lows election two years ago,
when he won by 81 ,632. At that time
he carried all the boroughs but
Queens, his plurality in Manhattan
and the Bronx being 1858, in Brook
lyn 25, ,767, and in Richmond 1853 In
Queens. Sheppard d-Democrat-had
a plurality of 55l.
Tuesday Mcclellan carried Man
haitian and the Bronx by about 5S,-
900, a gain of $4,000; Brooklyn by
about 5000, gain of 3l,00O, and
Queens by about 5000, a gain of more
than 1000 This makes total net
Gain for Mcclellan of about 100000,
as compared with Shephard's vote OF
two years ago.
Low carried only one borough
Richmond-by about 200 votes.
The result was known early, ana aG
S:l5 O'Clock Mayor Low entered his
office and to the newspaper men SAID
he was about to send the following
telegram to Col. Mcclellan:
II congratulate you on your cleo
ton. If can be of service to you,
pray command me.
iSignedl seth Low"
The mayor then said: II think
that the telegram sums up all | have
=
to say Tonight.
Col. mcclellan, who is at present q
member of Congress, made the fol-
lowing statement:
II am deeply grateful to my fellow
citizen for their confidence in me.
renew the promises which made be-
fore the election.
II have no bitterness of feeling for
any one.
II shall go at once to Washington
to prepare for the extraordinary ses-
sion, and as soon as the question of
Cuban reciprocity is disposed of, l
shall turn my attention to the affairs
of the city.
II invite the cooperation of every
citizen, whether he supported me or
not and regardless of his political
views in the advancement of the
city's good.
This victory should encourage
and unite all Democrats for the pres
idential contest in 1904"
Charles f. Murphy, the leader of
Tammany Hall said:
''The figures speak for themselves,
and the people have spoken. VI
course we are pleased at the result.
1t bears out the figure we gave. Ii
the election had been week further
off the chances are that DeYery
would have polled a larger vote
