The Indiana State sentinel., 1894-11-07

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The republicans
have carried New York state by estimated
pluralities ranging from 10000 to $50, 900.
These figures represent the probable plu-
rality of Levi 2. Morton, rep, for gov
ernor, over David 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 dis
tricts above the Harlem river.
The total vote for the two leading candi-
dates is considerably IN excess of that
polled for Flower and Fassett for gov
ernor in 1891. in addition to which is the
votes cast this year for Everett P. Wheel
er, ind. dem, which will exceed 10000. The
tremendous republican sweep in the city
and state it is estimated. has elected
twenty-three republican congressman, a
gain of eight over the present representa-
ton in congress.
1t was the expressed belief of those
who were conducting the campaign for
the democrats in the state that the de-
preciated majorities below the Harlem
for the party there would be offset by in
creased majorities 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 from plu-
ralities ranging from $1,000 to 10000 in
the district below the Harlem for the
democratic party, the republican party
turns the city vote into 10000 plurality
for it's state candidates. In all the demo-
cratic estimates given or the eve of the
election it was contended that the demo-
cratic plurality below the Harlem would
be at least $4,000. The surprises are not
confined to this change Of votes. 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 Governor Flower in 1891
An analysis Of such figures as are OBJ
tainable tonight shows that the repub-
lican party alone gained by the increased
registration. for Mr.. Morton's vote in al
the upper county districts shows large
gains over the Fassett vote Of 1891. In
the cities this same increase in registra-
ton appears to have been detrimental to
the democrats.
The vote in Albany county was one of
the many surprises of the election. For
years Albany county, on state or national
issues. has been looked upon as reliable
democratic stronghold. good for from
1000 TO 1000 democratic majority. The
democratic managers, in view of this fact
and that it is also the home of Senator
Hill. looked for a majority not less than
2.500 They felt confident that Senator
Hill could be given a handsome vote. a.
Judge Maynard carried the county by a
normal democratic majority, notwith-
standing the republican trend in other
portions Of the state.
In Monroe, with it's republican city Of
Rochester, the natural republican plural
fly was almost doubled. late figures giving
Morton 5000. where in 1891 the same coun-
" only gave to Fassett $500.
Rensselaer, county, the home OF Senator
Murphy, held as closely to the democratic
normal vote as any in the state The
county only fell off about eight hundred
while its nelghbor. Albany, lost about
twenty-six hundred.
Erie county repeated it's record Of last
year by giving the usual republican ma
jorities.
Otsego county doubled for Morton the
majority It gave To Harrison and trebled
that it gave TO Fassett. Cheinung held
pretty closely TO its normal vote, espe-
cialIy IN Elmira City.
St Lawrence county crawled up over
two thousand on its Fassett vote in favor
OF Morton.
Westchester falls into line with a big
majority for Morton and Niagara county
trebled its Fassett plurality.
The 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. 1t is highly Prob
able, according 10 the first returns that
all OF them are adopted. The percenta ge
of loss as compared with the vote for the
head OF the ticket Is not nearly so large
as II was supposed 10 be and the result
therefore is that the legislature will con-
sist OF fifty senators and $50 assembly
men, that pool selling on races will be
prohibited and that new judiciary sys-
