New YORK. Nov. THE Republi-
cans have carried New York state BY
estimated pluralities ranging from
130, 600 to 1880 600. These figures
represent the probable plurality Of
Levi r. Morton. Republican. over
David Il. Hill, Democrat. based upon
the vote Of New York city and Brook
1yn complete and returns from more
than one half Of the election districts
above the Harlem river. The total
vote for the two leading candidates is
considerably in excess Of that polled
for Flower and Fasset for governor

vote cast this year for Wheeler. In

not confined to the change of vote.
but an ANALYSIS shows that Senator
Iill will run behind even the vote OF

The vote in Albany county was one
OF the many surprises OF the election.

national issues. has been looked
upon as a reliable Democratic strong

Democratic majority The Demo-
cratic managers, ia view Of this fact.
and that il is also the home Of Sena-
tor Hill, looked for majority Of not
less than ?, 500 They felt con hdent
that Senator Hill could be given q
handsome vote. as Judge Maynard
carried the county BY normal Demo-
cratic majority, notwithstanding the
Republican trend In ether portions Of

city of Rochester. the national Re
publican plurality was also doubled,
