New YORK, Nov. 6.-The Republicans
have carried New York state for COVER
nor by estimated pluralities ranging
from 10000 to 100000. The total vote
for the two leading candidates is consid-
erably in excess OF that polled for
Flower and Fassett for governor in 1891,
in addition to the vote oast this year
for Wheeler Independent Democracy.
which will exceed 10000. The tremen-
dous Republican sweep in the city and
state, it Is estimated has elected % Re-
publican congressman. q gain OF eight
over the present representation in con-
gress. 1t WAS tho expressed belief OF
those who were conducting the cam
paign for the Democrats in the state that
the depreciated majorities below the
Harlem for the party there would be off.
set by increased majorities above the
rivers bank for the Democracy. The
most sanguine expected the Demo-
cratic party, with Senator Hill at
it's head, would chow recuperation from
the vote given for Maynard in 1898. In
all the Democratic estimates on the
eve OF the election it was contended that
the Democratic plurality below the
Harlem would be At lesst $4,000. The
surprises are not confined to the change
of vote, but an analysis shows that Sen.
ator Hill will run behind even the vote
OF Maynard, while in the state he fell
below tha vote cast for Governor Flower
in 1891. An analysis OF such figures 90
are obtainable tonight shows that the
Republican party alone gained by the
increased registration, for Mr.. Morton'a
vote in all the upper country districts
shows large gains over the Fassett vote
OF 1891, In the cities the same increase
in registration appears to have been
detrimental to the Democrats.
The vote in Albany county was ono of
many surprises of the election. For
years Albany county in state or national
issues has been looked upon az q reliable
Democratic stronghold, good for from
1000 to 1000 Democratic majority. The
Democratic managers, 10 view of this
fact and that it ia the homo OF Senator
Hill, looked for majority not less than
2500. They felt confident that Senator
Hill would be given handsome vote,
aa Judge Maynard carried the county by
a normal Democratic majority, notwith.
standing the Republican trend in other
portions of the state. In Monroe, with
its Republican city OF Rochester, the
natural Republican plurality was
doubled, late figures giving Morton
5000 where, in '9l. the came county only
gave to Fassett $500.
Rensselaer, county, the homo of Sena-
tor Murphy, held "a closely to the
Democratic normal vote as any county
in the state.
TIE results Of the sweeping victory are
more far.reaching than simply the cleo
ton of the Republican state ticket
While the returns are very incomplete
on the election amendments, it is highly
probable, according to the frat returns,
that all Of them are adopted.
The percentage of loss, as compared
with the vote of the head of the ticket il
not nearly 30 large as it was supposed to
be, and the result. therefore, is that the
legislature will consist OF 30 senators and
$50 aseemblymen that pool selling on
races will be prohibited, and that a new
judiciary system will be- inaugurated.
The sweep also means that for the first
time in many years the Republicans will
have control of the state legislature, and
at the same time have governor in the
chair in political harmony with them.
