New York, Novem Der 6.-The result
of the election in New York today has
shown one of the most remarkable land
slides in the history of politics. In brief,
the Republicans have elected Levi P.
Morton governor by over 100000 plurali
ty. He will be the first Republican gov
ernor Of New York since Alonzo B. Cor
nell, who succeeded Lucus Robinson
(Dem.) and served from 1880 to 1888. In
the city of New York, Tammany has re-
csived an overwhelming. defeat, William
L. Strong, Republican candidate for
mayor, being elected over Hugh J.Grant,
Tammany, by about 10000. In the con-
gressional districts, the Republicans
have more extensive gains.
Indications of the landslide came
early, when it was found that twenty
New York city election districts that
in 1892, in the mayoralty contest, gave
Gilroy, Dem., 1871, and Enstein, Rep,
1887, were giving Grant. Dem. 2bo6.
and Strong, Rep, 1880. The Times soon
after announced that Tammany was los
ing 75, 600 compared with Gilroy's vote.
The Herald soon announced that Grant
| conceded his defeat by $4,000. The
World soon conceded that Morton's plu-
rality in Kings county, which is Brook
| lyn, would be nearly 10000. The Sun
! soon conceded that Golf, the committee
| of Seventys' candidate for Recorder
would be elected by about 5000 plurality.
The way the sad news was broken
| to the defeated is indicated by the fol-
lowing announcements:
| The New York Mail and Express says
the assembly will be Republican by a
safe majority.
