Tammany's Hold Shaken.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Tammany
Halls hold on New York city was
shaken today In a battle Of the bal
lots in which the local offices were
mainly at stake. The democrats sue
cessfully defended their ancient
strongholds Of Manhattan and the
Bronx but by greatly reduced plur-
alities. Queens county also stood by
the democrats but the republican,
fusion candidates made nearly a
clean sweep of Brooklyn and prob
ably divided honors in the little
borough of Richmond.
A year ago Manhattan and the
Bronx gave Governor Dix a plurality
of 6S,SS9 and elected democratic
supreme court justice by about 22,-
900.
Today Robert L. Fowler, the dem
ocratic candidate for surrogate, car
rled New York county with a maxi
mum plurality of about 10000
The democrats elected their candidate
for sheriff by about 5000 and three
democratic candidates for supreme
court judiciary pulled through by
about 5000.
Francis NJ Scott the fourth justice
elected was endorsed by both parties.
The republicans gained eight as
semblymen in New York county and
will send fifteen members of that
body out of the total delegation Of
thirty-five.
The republican candidates for SUI
preme court justice in the second dis
trict which comprises Kings, Queens
and Richmond counties, were elected
with one possible exception. William
Willette, Jr., the democratic candi-
didate, who was charged with buying
his nomination, ran about 500 be-
hind Callahan who is so close to the
last man on the republican list that
his fate is in doubt.
The republicans elected sheriff
in Kings county by about 1900.
In 1873 districts of Brooklyn the fu-
sionists gained three assemblymen.
