Democrats Sweep Four States and Dim Tamany Hope
Early returns show Democratic victories across several states. Massachusetts elected a Democratic governor and lieutenant governor in a four way race. Virginia's slate won outright, while New York fusion failed to prevent Republican gains in the assembly and court of appeals. New Jersey saw partial Democratic leads with James J. Fielder favored for governor. Maryland elected a Democratic senator, and Massachusetts re-elected Lt. Gov Walsh. Virginia chose Henry C. Stuart as governor with a full ticket. New York City backed the fusion slate, but statewide returns favored Republicans in the general assembly and chief justice seat.
