The main influence, however, in giving thes victory to Tummapy, aside from its perfect machine, which, in this campaign, has been *oiled" with nupreemdeɛted profusion, is the fact that a vast number of voters were induced to accept the statement that the issue was not merely one of good municipal house-kee, ing, but | i,volved an advantage to one or the other-of-this great political parties. Now York is a Damo. cratie city, and only with the aid of Democratie voles em any Pusion administration be possible. Make it appear that the issue is beton publicans and Democrats, and the vote New York is a foregone conclusion. the prisone of 10 returns it is clear
of

that Tutumuny was marescial in its forts to excite partisan fooling and persude a
vart number of voters that the success of the Fusion ticket wonk in some way affect the future of the Democratic [mety and national politics.
Edward M. Gront was elected Controller an Charles V. Fornas President of the Board of Aldaruon. These two men were originally, on the Fusion ticket wad were endorsed by Tammany, whereupon the Fusionists took their names from the Low ballots and mominated other candidates. It was the vomination of front and Fornes by Tammuy that caused MeLaughlin, the referan Jender of the King's County Damocracy, to helt and
Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany Fall, said:"The figures speak for themselves, and the people bave spoken. Of course, we are pleased at the result. It bears out the figures We gavo. If the election bad been a week further off the chances are that Devery would have polled a larger vote than Low."
Of the five Dorough Presidents voted for the Decocratio candidates wore successful in the was re-olcoted'; in Bronx, whore Hoffen Manhattan, where Abern had a big plurality; in Queen's, whore Cassidy won for the second tithe and in Brooklyn, where Martin W. Littleton had a fargs plurality than McClellan. Littleien refused to support McClellan, Gront and Fornes, and lent his nid to McLaughlin in he latter's fight against Tammany. In Richmond (Staten Island) Cromwell (Fusion) was elected.
R-turns from the Stato indicate the olvction
of Republican Mayors in Elmira, Rochester Albany, Binghamtop, Watertown, and Oneida. In Oswego, Kition, Schenectady, Troy, and Ara:ferdam, Democratio Mayors wore slected, Returns from all Assembly districts of the State give the Republicans a net gain of seven in the Assembly. The Senate holds over, and is strongly. Itepablicon.
