!
Echoes of the election were heard at the
monthly meeting of the Republican County
Committee last night. Senator Josiah T.
Newcomb made speech, in which he said
the results had been somewhat mixed, but
that TO those experienced in political af
fairs they foreshadowed the diminution Of
the power of Tammany Hall He spoke of
the election of fifteen Republican Assem-
blymen and twenty fusion aldermen in this
county.
| ut was probably a matter of great re-
gret," he said, that it was not possible
for us to conduct a campaign entirely with
Republican candidates. But, putting aside
this desire with great patriotism, we went
into a fusion movement which has been
of great benefit to this community. The
great result that stands out is the cleo
! ton of q Republican majority in the As
sembly, which destroys the power of Tam
many Hall in the Legislature, the greatest
menace that the state has known In many
years"
