New York, Nov. 3.-Col. George B.
Mcclellan, son of the famous union
general, was today elected mayor of
greater New York on the Democratic
ticket, defeating the Fusion candidate
Seth Low, the present incumbent of
the Office. With Mcclellan, the entire
Democratic ticket was elected and in
spite of considerable talg of much knit
ing. all candidates ran well together.
McClellan's plurality is roundly esti-
mated at ten o'clock tonight at 10000
plurality.
Tammany carried four out of five
boroughs of the greater city.
The result showed a veritable land
slide for Tammany and even the most
optimistic Of the Halls supporters
were surprised at the size of the DEM
ocratic vote. The political upset oc-
CURED in Brooklyn, where for weeks
1t was generally believed that Mayor
/ Low would pull big plurality.
Tammapy Hall was crowded with
the faithful and their Joy was unre-
strained when 1t was apparent that the
tiger would soon walk forth again.
Many district leaders and their friends
crowded around Leader Charles Muir

Low a plurality and that was by only
200 votes.

election returns at his headquarters in
the Bartholdi hotel. When victory

his victory quietly and expressed him
self pleased at the outcome which
when he said, he had felt certain of
from the beginning of his campaign.

cred in Madison square swarmed on
the sidewalks under Col McClellan's
rooms and cheered for minutes at q
time. Later in the evening Mayor
