New York, Nov. S.-Returns at one
o'clock this morning are complete in
greater New York in the mayoralty
contest with the exception Of 81 cleo
ton districts, scattered throughout the
city. The vote on these returns gives

nicipal ownership, 21S,657; WINS, rep,

New York, Nov. S.-After cam
paign unusual in it's public interest
and excitement, Tammany hall met
defeat Tuesday, in its hard fought
efforts to elect James w. Osborne -
the district attorneyship of New York
county, and saved the mayoralty of
the city by probably only few
thousand votes.
So close. was the contest that up to
eleven o'clock last night the result
was not certain, but at that time the
indications were that George B. Nc
Clellan, democrat, had been re-electe !
mayor for four-years term, and that
William T. Jerome, Independent, had
been reelected district attorney.
The extent to which the Tammany
organization was shaken may be judy
ed from the fact that there was 40
fusion Of the opposition parties, the
means by which the organization has
been combatted heretofore, but that
Jerome, running as a candidate Of no
party, and with his record in office as
his platform, succeeded In overcom-
ing the former prestige of the DEM
Randolph Hearst, standing as the nom.
inee Of the Municipal Ownership
league, new factor in New York
politics, came within few thousand
votes of being elected mayor.
Jerome's triumph was almost entire
ly personal one, and showed that
an appeal may be made successfully
to voters on the strength of personal
honesty and persistent, systematic de-
nunciation of graft and political boss
ism.
Philadelphia, Nov. S.-~-Philadelphia
has been swept by the reform move.
ment, the city party ticket winning
by surprisingly large plurality.
While returns from only six of the
AZ wards in this city had been counted
up to midnight last night, enough is
known of the result in the remain
ing wards to indicate the defeat Of the
republican local ticket by from $4,000
to $4,000 plurality.
the victory Of the city party carries
with it the election of VIM. III. Berry,
the democratic and reform candidate
for state treasurer. j. Lee Plummer,
the republican candidate for that Office
was badly cut throughout the city and
state, and he has lost his own county
which is usually republican.
The result has every appearance Of
a landslide for reform not only In
Philadelphia, but throughout the state.
Columbus, o., Nov. 8.-At IL
o'clock last night the democratic leai.
ers in this state claimed the election
Of Pattison and the entire democrA,-

while the republicans simply refused
to concede such claim, insisting thar
the returns were insufficient at that
hour to indicate anything except that
the vote had been very heavy and that
the amount of scratching had mad.

night he was running two votes 20
the precinct ahead of Col Harris, the
republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, who was expected to poll
the average party vote. It this is
continued throughout the state It
would indicate that the bitterness Of
the attacks on Herrick has apparently
reacted in his favor and gained him
votes instead of losing them.
Chicago, Nov. S.-The republicans
made clean sweep of the election
in Chicago and Cook county Tuesday,
electing all of their candidates with
the exception Of one man. The sole
democrat to reach the promised land
was Webb, candidate for trustee OF
the sanitary district.
