MORToN'S PLURALITY.
1t viii Range From 10000 to
10000.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Republicans
have carried New York state by esti-
mated pluralities ranging from 10000 to
100000. These figures represent the prob
able plurality of Levi P. Morton. CRep.
Sor governor, over David B. Hill, Dem.)
tFased upon the vote of New York City
and Brooklyn and complete returns from
more than one-half of the election dis
ericts above the Harlem river.
The total vote for the two leading can
didates is considerably in excess of that
polled for Flower and Fassett for gov
ernor in 1891. In addition is the Vote
cast this year for Wheeler, Gnd Dem
which will exceed 10000. The tremen-
dous Republican sweep in the city and
state, it is estimated has elected q Re
publican congressman, a gain of over S
of the present representation in Con-
gress. 1t was the expressed belief of
those who were conducting the campaign
Tor the Democrats in this state that de-
rreciated majorities below the Harlem
for the party there would be offset BY
increased maiorities above the rivers
bank for the Democracy.
The most sanguine expected that the
Democratic party, with Senator Hill at
its head, would show recuperation from
the vote given for Maynard in 1893. In
place of all anticipated results comes a
sweep Of such proportions and from
every quarter beyond the highest claims
made by the Republicans.
In all the Democratic estimates on the
the Demoerauc plurality below the Har-
lem would be at least $1,000. The sur
prises are not confined to the change of
Vote, but an analysis shows Senator Hill
| VIII run even behind the vote of May
] nard, while in the state he fell below
sthe vote cast for Governor Flower in
1881. An analysis of such figures as are
obtainable tonight shows that the Repub-
.ican party alone gained by the increas-
ed registration, for Mr.. Morton's vote in
all the upper country districts shows

In the cities the same increase in regis
tration appears to have been detrimental
to the Demo- rats.
The vote IL Albany county was one of
the many surprises Of the election. For
years Albany county in state or ma
tional issues has been looked upon as
reliable Democratic stronghold, good for
from 1000 70 1000 Democratic majority
Tss= Democratic managers, in view of
this fact and that ii is also the home
OF Senator Hill, looked for majority Of
not less than $500. They felt conndent
that Senator Hill would be given a hand
some vote, as Judge MAYNARD carried iii
county by normal Democratic major

sf fn M n the o5aer portions Of the state
Rochester, the natural ReDubiir7n nlu-
rality was doubted, late fgures, giving
Morton 5000, where in 1891, the same
county only gave 10 Fdssett $500.
Rensselaer, county, the home Of Senator
Murphy, held as closely to the Dernocra +
&c normal vote as any county in the
state.
The results fer the sweeping victory
are more far-reaching than simply the
rejection of the Republican state ticket
While the returns are very incomplete
on the election amendments, it is highly
sprobable according to the first returns
