A fusion defeat was foreshadowed by
the first returns which came in, but the
later returns indicated that the fight would
be close. The first four election districts
heard from showed falling off OF ?o7 votes
for Low, compared with the vote in these
districts in 1901, or an average loss OF hfty
in district which, il carried out, would
give Mcclellan plurality OF less than 1900.
The returns however, as the canvass
progressed we're 80 confusing that at one
time it looked as il Low would have plural
ity of 1000 or 5000. This was due to his
great gains in some districts, both Republi-
can and Democratic, over two years ago.
The general result, however, was known
early in the evening, and caused such a
whirlwind of Democratic jubilation all over
town as had not been witnessed in many
years.
Hugh Mclaughlin, whose bolt from the
regular ticket was the political surpriso OF
the campaign, received the returns in his
home. surrounded by few Of his faithful
linutenants He is evidently deeply cha
grined over the result, but refused to make
comment Last night. He conceded from
the early returns that Mcclellan would have
plurality of 5000. Mr.. Mclaughlin was
not serenaded last night. as he always has
been III previous wears no matter how the
election went.

Not more than half the returns on the

Headquarters early this morning. Those
that were received showed that Grout led
Mcclellan in each Assembly district and
that he would have plurality considerably
in excess Of the head Of the ticket.
