TAMMANY WINS OUT
FOLEY DEFEATS IHMsEN FOR
 SHERIFF.
Tnmmany Ticket Has . Lead of About Thirty Thousand Over Repub- iican and Independence League
 Fusion Ticket.

New York. Nov. 6.--What interest there was in yesterdays apathetic elec- tion, was over the result of the Re- publican and Independence League fusion in New York county; the show Ing made by the Independence League in its fight alone against the Identical tickets of the Republicans and Demo- crats for Associate Justice of the Court of Appeals and the makeup of the next assembly.
 Fusion failed in New York County, the straight Democratic ticket being elected with maioritfes from 30.000 to 35,ooo.
 Thomas F. Foley, Democratic canai- date for sheriff, defeated Maximilian F. lhmsen. an Independent League repre- sentative on the fusion ticket.
 Chairman Parsons, of the Republican county ticket, who was credited with having arranged tho fusion, expressed surprise at the result and placed the responsibility on the financial situation and repeaters. Leaders on the Inde- pendence League wing of the fusion, regarded the defeat as due to fraud. In Kings County (Brool1lyn) the Re- pubiicans were generally successful, although the Democrats reelected Dis- trict Attorney Clarke. The Republi- cans lost a few members of the assem- ply, probably six.
 Republicans swept all the candi- dates with one exception. into office at Buffalo. Elmira returned to the Demo- cratic column so far as the mayoralty was concerned. Republicans selected a city. and county ticket in Albany.
 For the first time in fourteen years, the Republicans elected a mayor fin Utica, and the first time in seventeen years, the Democrats carried New. burgh. The Republicans were victori- ouR in Ulster County and elected their candidate for mayor in Kingston. In mayor, but the Democrats carried the common council. Despite the protests of the United Clergy the Democrats of Auburn elected brewer for mayor. In Troy Mayor Ellis P. Mann was re-eIect- ed. by the Republicans with plu- rality of $50.

 The city party. the reform organiza- ton, which has fought the Republican organization for several years. went on record as against the loan and made la fight against the proposition. The returns tonight show that the loan. which had the solid backing of the Re- publican leaders. carried the city by a majority considerably under that given

The Statesman.

Not he that breaks the dams, but he
That through the channels of the State
Conveys the peoples wish, is great;
His name is pure his fame is free:
He cares, if ancient usage fade,
To shape, to settle, to repair,
With seasonable changes fair,
And innovation grade by grade:
Or, if the sense Of most require
A precedent of larger scope,
Not deals in threats, but works with
hope,
Aud lights at length on his desire:
Knowing those laws are just alone
That contemplate a mighty plan;
The frame. the mind, the soul of man,
Like one that cultivates his own.
He, seeing far an end sublime,
Contends, despising party rage,
To hold the Spirit of the Age
Against the Spirit of the Time.
