Michael Dukakis in a bitter but historic election. New York's 36 electoral votes went to Dukakis, however. With most districts reporting, the Bush-Quayle ticket carried 18 of 21 western New York counties, losing only in the metropolitan areas of Monroe, Niagara and Erie. i In Monroe County, a narrow 1,413 lead in incomplete and unofficial returns from 750 of 768 districts gave the Bush ticket a total of 145,358 votes, including 136,148 on the GOP line and 9,210 on the Conservative line. Results were not in from California, Illinois or Washington as of early this morning.

Bush became the first sitting vice president to win election to the presidency since 1836, and it was the first time since 1929 that the party holding the White House turned it over to a successor of the same party. Bush had run his campaign as the proper heir to the mantle of Republican Ronald Reagan, the most popular president in more than two decades. Under a sigh proclaiming "America Wins," Bush last night pledged that he would be president of "all the people" and would keep a "conversation going" with the nation. "A campaign is a disagreement, and disagreements divide," he said at an emo- TURN TO PAGE 8a1 1 I --n i Assembly seat by 689 votes By Susan Boccardi Democrat and Chronicle Incumbent Audre "Pinny" Cooke hung on to her state Assembly seat by a mere 689 votes last night, with absentee ballots making the difference in the race against Democratic challenger Joseph Morelle. Cooke earned 28,445 votes to Morelle's 27,756 with the machine vote and avail able absentee ballots counted, before the absentees were counted, at 12:30 a.m., she was leading by only 195.

Final results will not be available until Nov. 16, when the Monroe County Board i of Elections counts absentee ballots post- nidi acu uy iiuvi i cuiu ictcivcu uy iu. 1 A. J. But Democratic Monroe County elec tions commissioner Marguerite Betey Toole said the margin makes it unlikely I the results will change.

"That's a substantial lead," she said. "It's a little more decisive now."

As expected, the bond issue was winning in New York City by a 3 to 2 ratio.

However, it was losing in the six counties that make up the Genesee Valley region of the state Department of Transporta- tion. I Gov. Mario Cuomo had strongly cam- paigned for its passage. Lewis Gurley, director of the Genesee Valley region, endorsed the proposition, which allocates $137 million over the next four years for repairs in Monroe, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Livingston and Ontario counties.

Ralph Quattrociocchi, who had considered resigning after being accused of misusing taxpayers' money to run his 1986 campaign, last night survived a contentious challenge from Republican Ralph Esposito. In the 55th District race dubbed the "battle of the Ralphs," Quattrociocchi retained his Senate seat by grabbing 60,636 votes or 53.35 percent to Esposito's 51,914 votes, according to preliminary results. "It was a tough year," Quattrociocchi said last night. Quattrociocchi, a two-term Democratic senator with the Conservative Party endorsement, trounced Esposito in Rochester and ran nearly even with him in the Republican-dominated towns. Quattrociocchi's huge edge in the city and the votes he picked up on the Conservative line gave him the victory by 8,722 votes.

Political observers believe Esposito failed to provide sufficient reasons why Quattrociocchi should not be re-elected. hsposito said he lost because ot nonstop ads featuring Quattrociocchi with Rep.

Rep. Louise Slaughter capitalized on her image as a caring representative, a $700,000 war chest and an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort to win re-election yesterday by an overwhelming margin in the 30th Congressional District. Slaughter won all four counties of the district by comfortable margins in piling up a 57 percent to 39 percent win over Republican John Bouchard, a 33 year-old Monroe County lecilator and her chief Copyright.
