THE DEFEAT on HILL
Larger Than Most Sanguine Re-
publicans Predicted,
TAMMAEY U0uPLBTELY ROUTED

Wheeler the Leader Of the Boltlng Dem- |
ocrnts Gets over Twenty Thousand votes. !
Twcnty-thrce Republican Congressman
Elected -strong's Big Vote for Mayor.
New YORK, Nov. Tho Republicans !
have carried New York state by estimated !
pluralities ranging from 10000 to l5O,OJO |
These figures represent the probable plu- !
rality of Levi p. Morton, rep, for COVER
nor, over 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 districts above the
Harlem river. The total vote for the two
leading candidates is considerably in Cx-
cess of that polled for Flower and Fassctt
for governor in 1891, in addition to which
is the vote cast this year for Everett p.
Wheeler 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-
tion in congress. 1t was the expressed be
lief of those who were conducting the
campaign for the Democrats in the state
that deprecated maiorities below the Har

election it was contended that the Demo
cratic plurality below the Harlem would
be at least 3oU0O' 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 now
obtainable shows that the Republican
party alone gained by the increased regis
tration, for Mr. Morton vote in all OF the
up country districts snow large gains over
the Fassett vote of 1891. In the cities this
same increase in registration 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 l,OOJ
to 1900 Democratic majority. The Demo
cratic managers, in view of this fact and
that it is also the home of Senator Hill,
looked for a majority of not less than
$500. They felt tconiidentth that Senator Hill
would be given a handsome vote rs judge
Maynard carried the county by normal
Democratic majority, notwithstanding
/ the Republican trend IN other portions ol
the state
In Monroe, with It's Republican city o
e Rochester, the natural Republican plu
rality was almost doubled, late figures
giving Morton 5000 where in 1891 the
same county only gave to FaSSett $500
Rennssalaer county, the home of Senator
Z Murphy, held as closely to the Democratic
normal "ote as any in the state The
county only fell OIL about 500, where it
neighbor, Albany county, lost at leaS
