SURPRISE FOR TAMMANY.
Leaders Admit That Not One
Of Their Candidates Is
Elected.
BIG PLURALITY FOR STRONG.
Probable Gain Of Eight Con-
gresSmen for the Re-
publicans.


cans have carried New York state by
estimated pluralities ranging from $780,
600 to 10000. These figures represent
the probable plurality of Levi P. Nor
ton, Rep, for governor, over David B.
Hill, Dem, based upon the vote of New
York city and Brooklyn complete and
returns from more than one-half of the
election districts above the Harlem
river. The total vote for the two lead
ing candidates is considerably in excess
of that poiled for Flower and Fassett
tor governor in 1891, in addition to
which is the vote cast this year for
Wheeler. Ind. Dem, which will exceed
10000. The tremendous Republican
sweep in the city and state, it is esti-
mated. has elected twenty-three Repub-
llcan congressman, gain of eight over
the present representation in congress.
1t was the expressed belief of those
conducting the campaign for the Demo-
Gratis in the state that deprecated ma
IOrities below the Harlem for the party
would be Offset by increased majorities
above the rivers bank for the Democ-
racy. The most Sanguine expected
that the Democratic party, with Sena-
tor Hill at its head, would show recu-
peration from the vote given for May
nard in 1898. In place of all anticipated
results comes sweep of such proper.
tiOns and from every quarter
Beyond The Highest Claims
made by the Republicans.
From pluralties ranging from $1,000
to 125,OO0 in the district below the Har-
lern for the Democratic party, the Re-
publican party turns the city vote into
10000 plurality for its state candidates.
In all the Democratic estimates given
on the eve of the election it was con-
tended that the Democratic plurality
below the Harlem would be at least
$4,000. The surprises are not confined
to this change of vote, but an analysis
shows that Senator Hill will run behind
even the vote of Maynard, while in the
state he fell below the vote cast for
Gov Flower in 1891. An analysis of
such figures as are obtainabIe tonight
shows that the Republican party alone
gained by the increased registration. for
Mr.. MOrton's vote in all the upper
county districts shows large gains over
the Fassett gain Of 1891. In the cities
this same increase in registration ap-
pears to have been detrimental to the
Democrats.
1he vote In Albany county was one of
the many surprises of the election. For
years Albany county. in state and ma
tiohaI issues, has been looked upon as
reliable Democratic stronghold, good
for from 1000 10 1900 Democratic ma
lority. The Democratic managers, in
view of this fact. and that 1t is the home
of Senator Hill, looked for majority of
not less than $500. They felt confident
Iat Senator Hill would be given n
handsome vote, as Judge Maynard car
ried the county by normal Democratic
majority, notwithstanding the Repub.
lican trend in other portions of the
state.
In Monroe, with its Republican city
of Rochester, the natural Republican
plurality was almost doubled, late fig
ures giving Morton 6.O0O, while in 1891
this county only gave to Fassett 5000.
Rensselaer, county, the home of Senator
Murphy, held as closely to the normal
Democratic vote as any in the state.
The county only fell off about 500
while its neighbor, Albany, lost about
2,GO0
Erie county repeated its record of last
year by giving the usual Republican
majority.
Oswego county doubled far more than
the majority 1t gave Harrison, and
trebled that it gave Fassett. Chemung
held pretty closely to its normal condi-
ton. st. Lawrence county crawled m
over 5000 OH its Fassett vote in favor of
Morton.
Westchester falls into line with big
majority for Morton. and Niagara coun-
ty trebles its Fassett plurality.
The Results
Of the sweeping victory are more far
reaching than simply the election of the
republican state ticket. While the re-
turns are very incomplete on the elec-
ton amendments it is highly probable,
according to the first returns, that all of
them are adopted.
