MORTON ELECTED.
 State L-stalssure@
 ALBANY, Nov. 7.-Ths story of . polit- ioal cyclone following : landslide of a year ago marks this election in New York state The most sanguine political ob server had failed to find in the past alec ton indications of anything that would allow precast of such a result a com pleees che battle of the ballot in this stass. Even those who believed in the success of the ticket that places victory at its top today were but sanguine of tho usual result of deprociatsd majorities below the Harlem for the dominant party there and increased majorities above that rfv er's banks for the party of the majority in that section, and the most sanguine of these people expected that tho Demo cratic party. with Senator Hill ct its head. would show reouperation from the vote given for Maynard In 1898
 In place offan anticipated results comes 6 sweep of such proportions and from such quarters that even those who profit by 1t are amazed. From . plurality rang ing from 65, 900 to I2o. 900 in the district below tho Harlem for the Democratic par ty the Republican party turns 1t Into so.- 900 plurality for themselves. In all the estimates given on the eve of election it was conceded that the Democratic plu- rality below the Harlem would be at least s5, 900.
 And tho surprises ars not oonffned to this trcnendous change of votes. An analysis shows that Senator Hill wifi run far behind even the memorable and ex- ceedingly retrograding vote of Judge May hard, while in the state he hung closely to the pace set by Governor Flower in 1891. An analysis of such figures as ara obsainabie this morning shows that the Republican party alone gained by tho increased registration, for Mir. Morton's vote in all of the up country dissrfcss shows large gains over the Fassett vote of 1891. while the Democratic vote Is not out In any great measure from its hither- to normal condition In the cities this same increase in registration appears to have been detrimental to the Democrats, for in . great many cases in strong Dem- ocratic quarters there were many votes.
 Hnrs Own County ArHinst Hina.
 The vots in Albany county was ono of the many surprises of the election For yenrs- Albany county on state or national issues has been looked upon as a reliable Democratic stronghold. good for from 1, 900 to y, 900 Democratic majority. The Democratic managers, in view of this fact and that 1t Is also the home of Sena- tor Hill, looked for . majority of not less than 8, 500 The result in the county was hailed by the Republicans with the wild est expressions of delight. while the De mocrats were frank in their expressions of disappointment and disgust
 It is claimed by Governor Flower and Clerk Dc Freest of the state committee that by reason of the large registration and the number of ballots to be voted so, . 900 Democratic voters were unable to cast their balloss.
 That tho depression caused by tar.fY or national matters had littls to do with the general result was evident from the fact that in manufacturing districts there was no very large deflection from the general !, run Of voting. But there were individ- ual counties where the vote was perpfex- ing by the way In which it dehecsed Al bany county led these. A Democratic stron ghold, with few manufacturing in- terests, 1t had held true to Its principles, and in wavering times, such, for instance e last year, gave normal Democratic ma jorities of from l,so0 to 8. 500 Despite the fact that 1t is the home county of the Democratic candidate. :t gives MT. Nor ton plurality.
 In hOnF0e, Wlt0 us rNepuDHcaQ clky or Rochester, the natural Republican piu- rality was almost doubled, late figures giving Morton 6. .0o0. while In 1891 the same county only gave to Fassett 8, 800 Rensselaer county, the home of Senator Murphy, stuck as closely to Democratic principles As any in the stats, which was rather surprising in view of the sentiment that had been appealed to by the death of Robert Ross The county only fell of about 800, while it's neigh bor, Albany county, lost at least g, 800.
 Onondaga had been expected to throw . great many votes to the Democratic party because of disappointment in the ranks of the Republican party. but while the vote of the Republicans showed a fall Ing of there was no appreciable gain for the Democrats by the defiection. Erie county repeated Its performance of last year by giving Republican majorities. | and this leads to the finding of the fur thor fact from the face of the returns that | in no instance were thsrs those signs of rscuperation that had been promised by the Dsmocxatis party leaders for their party. Ossgo county doubled for Morton
 the majority 1t gays Harrison and trsbled
 that 1t gave FAsssst Chemung pad t. l tribute to Senator Hill by sticking prst ty l closely to its normal vote, especially ir Elmira city. St Lawrence county crawl | cd up over 8. o0O on Its Fassett vote in ia | vor of Mir. Morton westohssteP falls int
 line with big majority for Ar. Morton,
 and Niagara county trebles its Fasssti | plurality.
 Amendments Probably Carried The results of the sweeping victory ar' | moro farreaching than simply the election | of the Republican state ticket While l the returns arc very incomplete on tn, | constitutional amendments, it is highly | probable at this writing that all of then
 are adopted. The percentage of loss a
 compared with the vote for the head of tn,
 ticket Is not nearly SO large as it wa
 supposed to be. and the result therefore
 Is that the legislature will consist of 5t
 senators and 50 assem- ply men; that poo
 selling on races will be prohibited; tha
 the canals will be improved and that
 new judiciary system will be inaugurated
 The sweep also means that for the frs
 time in many years the Republicans will
 have control of the state legislature anC
 at tho same time have a governor in th'
 chair in political harmony with them.
