New York, Nov. 1.-THE election in
Greater New York has been largely
favorable to the democrats. New
York county Manhattan and the
BRONX went overwhelmingly for Tam
many, Thomas F. Foley for sheriff,
the head Of the ticket, having a plur-
ality of 26,723 over M. F. 1hmsen, In
dependence league and republican, in
a comparatively light vote. The fus-
ion between the republicans and the
independence league was failure, ex.
cept in the cases of a few minor Of
f1cials.
In Richmond ana Queens, too, the
democrats were generally successful,
but In Kings county (Brooklyn). the
democrats, under the leadership of
Senator Patrick H. McCarren. suffered
a reverse. All the republican candi-
dates on the county ticket, with the
single exception of Clarke, democrat
ic candidate for district attorney, are
apparently elected. No great issue
was at stake in any of the local cleo
tons and interest was at low ebb.
In the state election Edward T..
Bartlett and Willard Bartlett, having
J the united support of Republicans and
Democrats, were elected Judges of the
court of appeals by an enormous ma
dependence league.
The Republicans lost, few mem-
bers of the assembly, probably six.
Sherman Moreland, majority leader Of
the assembly, is believed to have de-
feated COL David G.. Robinson in Che
mung county. Henry" Seacord, 70
years old, who helped to, organize the
Republican party in Orange county,
was elected to the assembly in the
First district OF that county.
The Republicans were victorious in
the cities Of Buffalo, Albany; Roches-
: ter, Syracuse. oswego and Utica, the
Republicans electing mayor in the
latter for the first time in IA years.
To Offset this the Democrats carried
Newburgh for the first time in II
years. Elmira, Rome and Bingham
ton also elected Democratic mayors.
