crat ticket, though elected two years

sion borough Officers.

A Remarkable Campaign.
New York, Nov. 4.-Atter d remark
able campaign, in which there was
united against him nearly all of the
newspapers and practically every min
istar of religion il the city, George Is.
Mcclellan, son of the civil war general,
Was elected third mayor of the city OF
Greater New York over Seth Low, fu-
s!oNist, the present mayor, by plur-

lncn We're originally on the fusion
ticket and We're indorsed by Tammany,
Whereupon the fusioniSts took their
names from the Low ballots and nom
mated other candidates. 1t was the
nomination OF Grout and Fornes by
Tammany that caused Hugh Nc
Laughin, the veteran leader Of the
Kings county democracy, to bolt and
declare that he would not support men
who were not democrats. In spite or
his detection, however, Mcclellan,
Grout and Fornes carried Kings coun-
ty. The management Of their campaign
there was taken over by Senator Pat
rick II. McCarren when Mclaughlin
refused his aid.
A surprise was the small vote for
William S. Devery, former chief OF po-
lice, who ran on an INDEPENDENT ticket,
which was given practically no sup
port.

ara S vote of two years ago.
