John w. Golf. Independent, has been elect
ed recorder of New York city over Freder-
lex Smyth, Tammany, by plurality of
81, S44 on the total city vote.
Morton's plurality over Hill in the state Is
at least 100000. Senator Hill, who received
the returns in the executive chamber
at Albany, conceded the state at 8
o'clock to Morton by 11O,666 plural
ity The rest of the republican state
ticket is elected by about the same
majority. Hills majority in New York city
was less than 5000, while Morton carried
Kings county, which includes Brooklyn, by
about 25,OOO Throughout the rest OF the
state Morton's vote was heavy increase
over that polled by Fassett in 1891, averag-
ing "a 1-2 gain to each district.
With but few exceptions, the results
throughout the state were all one way. In
Buffalo the republicans claim to have car
red the city and Erie county, and to nave
elected five out of six assembiymen ana
Congressman in the thirty-third district
Payne, republican, for Congress, carried
Cayuga county by about 5000 majority.
Fisher, republican, is elected 10 Congress
from the fourth district, republican gain
Reports from Columbia county, heretofore
strongly democratic, indicate that the re-
publicans have carried the county and elect
ed the assemblyman. but the plurality VIII
be small Morton's majority in the county
Is estima ted 800. Dickinson carries Medlt
by 35 majority.
The legislature will be heavily republican.
The New York Mail and Express claims
that the republicans will have from 30 to
100 members of the next assembly, which
will have lbs members.
1t was the expressed belief Of those who
Zinc N
ocrats in the state that deprecated MAORI
ties above the Harlem for the party would
be offset by increased majorities below that
rivers bank for the democracy. The most
sanguile expected that the democratic par
ty, with Senator Hill at its head, would
show recuperation from the vote given Ior
Maynard in 1898. 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 pluralities ranging from $1,000 to
10000 in the district below the Harlem Tor
the democratic party, the republican party
turns the city vote into 10000 plurality for
it's state candidates. In all the democratic
estimates given on the eve of the election
it was contended that the democratic plu-
rality below the Harlem would be at least
$1,000.
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.
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 a reliable
democratic stronghold, good for from loo
to 1900 democratic majority. The demo-
cratic managers, in view of this fact and
that 1t Is also the home Of Senator Hill,
looked for a majority mot less than $500.
They felt confident that Senator Hill could
be given q handsome vote, as Judge May
arJ tad ha nv a a
cratic majority, notwithstanding the re-
publican trend in other portions OF the
state.
In Monroe with it's republican city of
Rochester, the natural republican plurality
was almost doubled, late figures giving Nor
ton 5000, where in 1891 the same county
only gave to Fassett $500. Rensselaer,
county, the home of Senator Murphy, held
as closely to democrat tic normal vote as any
in the state. The county only fell off about
500, where its neiShbor, Albany county, lost
at least 1900
Otsego county doubled for Morton the ma
jority it gave Harrison and trebled that IT
gave Fassett Chemung held pretty closely
to its normal vote, and especially in Elmira
City, st. Lawrence county crawled up over
1900 on its Fassett vote in favor of Morton.
Westchester falls into lire with big ma
jority for Morton, and Niagara county
trebles it's Fassett plurality.
The registry also favored the republicans
In New York city the total was 30S, 4O1, the
largest registration ever recorded. The
largest preceding was that of 1892 which
reached total of 509,647. The registra-
ton of 1898 was 265,94 In Buffalo the in
crease was 1900 over the registration of
1892, and 5000 over that of 1893. In Albany
and Rochester the figures were about the
same as those for 1893, but in all four cities
the registry favored the republicans. In
Albany they had over 900 the advantage,
and in Troy about 900. The smaller cities
also showed republican gains.
