There are discrepancies in the figures from
two OF the voting districts. however. whicn
the Democratic organization says WILL be
sufficient to elect their candidate, Frank
". LOomis.
In the 4th district of the 18th Ward the
voting machines registered 419 for Hill
and only 4s for Loomis. In the Atm dis
frsct of the 22d Ward the machine showed
240 for Hill and 19 for Looms- The first
three candidates on the Democratic ticket
received more than 200 votes in each dis
trict The remainder Of the ticket, in
cluding Loomis received from TO SO votes
without a corresponding gain on the Re
publican side. making It evident that some
thing was wrong with the mechanism.
The Democratic organization has sent a
score of notaries public into the districts
10 secure affidavits to show that Loomis
received the full Democratic vote. With
a Democratic Legislature and the pros
pect of a hopeless contest the Republican
organization is inclined TO concede the cleo
tion of Loonis.
The Democrats will have complete con-
troll OF the new Legislature, and viii be
able 10 elect temporary president In the
Senate and a Speaker in the Assembly.
The corrected returns show the makeup
of the two houses TO be: Senate, Democrats.
2S: Republicans, g. Assembly, Democrats,
Sc: Republicans. q. In one or two dis
tricts the result is so close that the official
canvasses will not satisfy either candidate,
and recount may be necessary. This is
true of the Assembly election In Cayuga
County, the lst Assembly District in Dutch
ess and the 1st Assembly District in JeffeT-
son.
The defeat of Senator Davis, of Buff
falo, was a big surprise. This, in Erie
county, was attributed to the fact that
he met much opposition from the advo-
Gates of the Des Moines charter. Senator
James A. Emerson, OF Warren county, who
on early returns seemed to be defeated,
finally pulled through with a majority of
about 400. Senator Brough, of Manhattan,
also got through by a narrow margin. Cor
rected returns show the election of Senator
Travis. Of Brooklyn, and the defeat of
Senator CIedhill
Under Democratic control. all the chair
manships OF legislative committees will go
to them. and the Republicans. dominant in
the Legislature since 1892 will be left in
the cold.
There seems TO be little doubt that Sena-
tor Thomas T. Grady will be elected tenn
porary president OF the Senate. This is
said TO have been one of the promises
which was held out 10 Grady when he was
induced to go back TO the Senate He was
told that, If the Senate should go Demo-
cratic, Tammany would do all in its power
TO make him temporary president, an Office
with which the Senator would be glad to
round out his long term in the Upper
House.
II Grady is elected to this Office Tammany
may not attempt to get the Speakershlp
Of the Assembly, yielding that to the up
state organization. It seemed to be gener-
ally thought yesterday that the Speaker
ship would go to Assemblyman Daniel D.
Frshie, OF Schohsrie who has been minor
ity leader. There is a movement under
way. however, on behalf of Assemblyman
John W. Manley. of Oneida. and former
Lieutenant Governor chanler has many
supporters. Tammany is said TO have prom
ised to keep hands off, Of any contest that
may arise over the Speakership.
The new Legislature will be made up
as follows:
