go, 900. Edward NJ. Grout was elected
comptroller and Charles V. Fofnes pres
ident of the board of aldermen. Those
two men we're originally on the fusion
ticket, and were Endorsed by Tammauy,
whereupon the fusionsts took their
names from the Low ballots and nomi-
mated other candidates. Low carried only
the borough of Richmond, by a very
small majority-about 200. The result
shows tremendous upheaval in public

Although pushed by the exertions of
their opponents, the republicans in
Massachusetts, reelected Gov. John L.
Bates by practically the same plurality
as last year. The rest of the State ticket
was also elected, and the party will prob
ably have the usual proportion of z to |
