Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 November 1899 — NEW YORK. [ARTICLE]

NEW YORK.

Election results in New York State can bo summed in a few words. The Democrats carry Greater New York, and the Republicans win up-State. Greater New York is carried by the Democrats by majorities on the local tickets, running in the four counties which average about 65,000. The Republicans retain control of the Assembly, and have probably increased their majority in the lower house from 24 to 34. The Republicans made gains in Kings and all through the country counties. Robert Mazet, Republican chairman of the investigating, committee, was beaten by Perez M. Stewart, citizens’ union, and Tammany, in the nineteenth district in New York City. This has been the storm center of the campaign in New York. Mazet is defeated by 393 votes. Mazet may contest the election of Stewart. Judge George C. Barret received practically every vote cast. James A. O’Gormau, for the Supreme Court, defeated Joseph F. Daly, the fusion candidate, by about 50,000. William F. Grell, the Tammany candidate for sheriff, is elected over William •T. O'Brien, the candidate of the independent labor party, the Republicans and the citizens’ union, and notwithstanding the fact that O’Brien was distinctively a trades union candidate he ran about 6,900 behind his ticket. Pennsylvania. All the returns Wednesday morning indicated a decisive Republican victory, with decreased majorities. Barnett's majority for State Treasurer will reach 100,000, about 75,000 less than that given three years ago when State Treasurer Bcaeom was elected. The vote was light all over the State and returns slow in coming in. The vote in Philadelphia was smaller than it has been in years. The Republican majority is estimated at 40.000 as compared with over 70,000 at the last mayoralty campaign. Kansas. The reports from Kansas show Republican gains throughout the State. The votes cant were for county officers. The Republicans have elected six of the ten judges and the two State Senators to fill vacancies, John T. Chancy of Shawnee County and C. C. McCarthy of Jefferson. Neither had any o|>position. New Jersey. This was an off year in New Jersey and a light vote was cast throughout the State. The indications are that the Republicans have carried the State by a majority of about 15,000 on the Assembly ticket and that the Democrats have gained one and possibly two Senators.
