Voters split between candidates left Tammany defeated by 30 905 if last two contenders had united. Republicans opted for no straight ticket raising hopes for Scott, yet overall turnout puzzled reformers. City’s total congressional Republican vote hovered near 48 000, with Grant’s modest gains. Civic desire for non partisan government appears present but unrealized for now.
