ON the Battlefield.
New YORK, Nov. s.-Reaurns from all
over the state Indicate that all OF the con-
stitutional amendments have been
adopted by large majoritics The amend
ments were voted Cor on three ballots.
The first was for and against the revised
constitution, excepting the reapportion-
ment and canal amendments
Tho second was for and against the re-
spportionment, and the third was the
canal amendment. The first ballot in
cluded 81 amendments, among them the
revision OF the judiciary.
The reapportionment amendment forms
q state senate OF 90 members and assem-
bly, Of i50.
The canal amendment provides for the
improvement Of the canals.
The blanket amendment revises the
judiciary, abolishes the office of coroner,
separates municipal and state elections,
provides for the sale of the Onondaga salt
springs, virtually abolishes the race tracks
In this state and permits the use of voting
machines.
Returns show an apparent plurality in
New York city for consolidation, OF the
greater New York, of over $4,000, while
the rapid transit measure shows an APP
parent plurality of S2,40o.
Although some of the amendments were
hotly opposed, there is no probability that
any Of them have been defeated. They
were all carried through on the crest OF
the tidal wave. A majority of the votes
cast for an amendment Is sufficient to
make IL part of the fundamental law of
the state.
The result OF the returns so far gives
Hill y plurality I'm the city Of 254s. The
police returns give Hill plurality of 29o7.
Outside Of this city Morton has received a
plurality Of lbi,2ls COTS plurality Is g.
coo and strong's +s,sl7.
The overthrow Of Tammany in New
York city ana Of the Hill machine in
New York stHte Is complete and emphatic.
Hill Loses heavily I'm the country districts,
but In the metropolis his rout is some
thing unprecedented in the political an
malls Of that city.
Normally Democratic by, from 40, 600 to
eO,00o majority, New York city now ex-
presses its opinion Of Hill in the astonish-
Ing verdict Of hare plurality for the
Democratic candidate. Kings county,
frequenbly Democratic by from 10000 to
30 900 majority, which gave Hill for
governor In 1888 a majority of 1900, now
srushes him with heavy hand. Morton
carries tho state by l50. .ooo tho largest ma
3ority by Tar ever given the Republican
ticket In this commonwealth.
No less emphatic is the demoralizing
blow given 20 Tammany Hall. With
the whole machinery of government in
their hands and commanding "a power
never attained anywhere else in the coun-
A. -. l.. L
10000 majority; and the choice OF Re-
publican governor and Legislature to work
In harmony with the new government of
New York cit gives assurance Of such
house-cleaning as will undo the Tiger
for COOL and all.
