against him nearly all of the newspapers
and practically every minister of re-
ligion in the city, George B. Mcclellan,
son Of the civil war general, on Tuesday
was elected third mayor Of the Greater
New York over Seth Low, fusionist, the
present mayor, by large plurality of
about 10000. Edward NJ Grout was
elected comptroller and Charles v.
Forpes president Of the board of alder
men. These two men were originally
on the fusion ticket, and were endorsed
by Tammany, whereupon the fusion
lists took their names from the. Low
ballots and nominated other candidates.
1t was the nomination Of Grout and
Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh
Mclaughlin, the veteran leader of the
Kings county democracy, to bolt and
declare that he would not support men
who were not democrats. In, spite OF
his detection, however, Mcclellan,
Grout and Fornes carried Kings county.
Change in Sentiment.
This result shows a tremendous
change of public sentiment since Mayor
Lows election two years ago, when he
won by 1852. At that time he car
ried all the boroughs but Queens, his
plurality in Manhattan and the Bronx
being 1868 and Brooklyn 25,767, and in
Richmond 763. In Queens Shepard,
democrat, had a plurality of 561. Tues
day Mcclellan carried Manhattan and
the Bronx by about $4,000, a sain of g.
900; Brooklyn by about 6000 gain
Of II ,nH0, and Queens by about 5000, a
gain Of more than 1000. This makes a
total net gain for Mcclellan Of about
100000, as compared with Shepard's
vote of two years ago. Low carried
only one borough-Richmond-by
about 200 votes. The result was known
early, and at S:15 Mayor Low sent a
telegram Of congratulation to Col. Nc
Clellan.
McClellan's plurality in the city of
New York is 81 Ala. In Brooklyn $50
election districts out of 532 give Low
9S,979; Mcclellan 103,192.
The vote for mayor of Greater New
York was taken in the five boroughs COM
prising the, city, Manhattan, the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond. 1t
was generally expected that Mcclellan
would carry Manhattan and that Brook
Ign would give plurality for Low.
The carrying of Brooklyn for McClel-
Ian caused establishment, as it was be-
lieved the cry of "no red lights in Brook
Ign" would cause an increased vote for
Low in that borough. The campaign
was one of the most interesting in the
history of New York city.
Thevote on the canal amendment was
in almost every instance reported heav-
lily against 1t, but from Erie county and
Greater New York no report has been
received up to II o'clock. These coun-
ties were the strongholds of the i'm
provement sentiment, but the majority
in other parts of the state on incom-
plete reports was such that probably
$4,000 votes or more in New York city
and Erie county would be necessary to
overcome it.

Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-The polls
closed in Pennsylvania at p. m. In
formation received from various parts
of the state indicates that while idea
election weather prevailed, the vote was
unusually light, owing to the lack of in.

the republican city ticket were elected
by the usual large republican plurality

for the several candidates Of probably
