The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-11-06

New York, Nov. 6.-Tammany, as had
been foreseen. elected it's whole county
ncket from justice of the supreme court
10 sheriff. by pluralities neighboring 30, :
Nv.
Judge Whitman ran we'll ahead OF his
ticket, but the odds against him were
too great
Tom Foley's plurality for sheriff over
Ihmsen. the Fusionist candidate. is about
10000. or two-thirds the total Hearst vote
In the county. Mr.. Hearst apparently
furnished about two-ffths OF the vote for
Imhsen.
Tammany elected all the municipal
court justices In the county except in
the Ninth district.
The loss of four OF the nine Republican
assemblymen in the county was the most
serious result TO Mr.. Parsons for his al
lance with the great Hearst vote.
The slaughter among the aldermen also
was terrific. The Indications are that
only nine Republicans won in this county
out of Al candidates. and in the nine is
included Elias Goodman OF the Thirty
third. where the vote is so close that as
in some other cases, the official count will
have to decide IL.
Overwhelmingly Democratic. The present
board is nominally controlled by the oppo-
sition.
The city vote on the state ticket serves
60 give the idea OF the strength OF the
Hearst organization I'm the city when 1t
goes alone. The Hearst vote for Lyon
for the court of appeals in round num-
bers is as follows:
Manhattan and the Bronx .............44,0 900
brooklyn ..................H 1900
queens 1900
hlchmond ............................ loo
Total sc, 800
If the vote for Lyon I'm this county is
subtracted from the Joint vote for Ihmsen
for Sheriff. which was about l15.0o0, there
remain 1900 votes for Ihmsen TO be
credited to the Republican organization
OF which Mr.. Parsons is chairman, and
which gave Mr.. Hearst, I'm consideration
OF the vote he was TO poll. the right to
nominate six of the eleven candidates on
the county ticket.
A QUIET ELECTION.
The election was unusually quiet and
the vote light.
There were a considerable number OF
arrests for Illegal voting. but in most
instances the defendants were discharged.
Complete returns in the election for the
New York state assembly show 96 Re-
publicans and 81 Democrats. Last years S
assembly had 102 Republicans and ~
Democrats. There We're no elections for
the state senate this year.
Chairman Parsons said:
II believe that i was fully justified In
fusing. The vote was probably affected
by the financial situation I am sur
prlsed that Judge Whitman (Fusion can
didate for the court OF general sessions),
did not get more votes i'm the Republican
districts. II will be necessary 10 look
for some other cause than fusion on
which to place the responsibility. In hard
times people vote against the party in
power"
Mr.. Hearst. who had worked hard for
the independence League ticket, was said
To he i'll at his home
Charles r. Murphy, leader OF Tammany
Hall. said: THE result indicates that the
people have enthusiastically indorsed the
policies and candidates of the organiza-
tion and repudiated the policies OF Mr.
Hearst"

Third avenue.
The policeman who made the arrest said
he could not verify the address given by

sion that someone was trying 10 vote on
