Background

Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1846, 32 Senators and 128 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts; senators for a two-year term, assemblymen for a one-year term. The senatorial districts were made up of entire counties, except New York County (seven districts) and Kings County (three districts). The Assembly districts were made up of entire towns, or city wards, [1] forming a contiguous area, all within the same county.

At this time there were two major political parties: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In New York City, the Democrats were split into two factions: Tammany Hall and the "County Democracy". The Prohibition Party and the Greenback Party also nominated state tickets.

Elections

The 1889 New York state election was held on November 5. All six statewide elective office up for election was carried by the Democrats. The approximate party strength at this election, as expressed by the vote for Secretary of State, was: Democrats 506,000; Republicans 485,000; Prohibition 27,000; and Greenback 1,000.

Sessions

The Legislature met for the regular session at the State Capitol in Albany on January 7, 1890; and adjourned on May 9.

James W. Husted (R) was again elected Speaker, against William F. Sheehan (D).

Jacob Sloat Fassett (R) was re-elected President pro tempore of the State Senate.
