Hie Republicans In the state of New Totk have captured the only redoubt that was posaible to capture In thla election. Tbe only atate ticket la the fleld waa the assembly ticket for elec¬ tion to tbe lower bouse of tbe atate legialature. A year ago—the Demo- i cratic landslide year—the New York "'" I assembly stood:  87  Democrats to 63
Freeport
I Republicans.    The  returns  now  Indl- I cate tbat tbls year the assembly will stand:   Republicans,   102;   Democrats, ' 47; Socialist, 1.
Tbla  meana a stinging rebuke,  ap- {parently,   to   the   adminiatration   of Oovernor Dix.    In passing, It may be j observed that many Republicans  will ! regard the winning of tbe assembly as* of doubtful value, In view of the presi- I dentlal and more Important state elec- i tion In 1912.   To be sure, the Republic¬ an assembly oan checkmate a Demo- I crntlc senate aud make it impossible ' for the Democratic governor to either ¦ vote or approve.
So far as the returns show, the taost , Interesting ftatures of the election In [ the slate are the victory of the So¬ cialists In the municipal election In j Schenectady and the defeat of Thomas ; Mott Osborne, one of Governor Dlx's 1 most Intimate friends, for mayor of Auburn.
The municipal election In Schenec¬ tady was Indeed remarkable. Inas¬ much as It Is the flrst time In the his¬ tory  of politics  In  the state of New
