NEW YoaK, Nov. 7-Tammany is de-
feated. The nominal majority of 10000
ususually pollcd by that organization in
New York city has been obliterated, and
nm opposition non-partisan majority of
10000 to $4,000 has been piled up, max
Ing the net opposition gain more than
100000. Never since 1871 the year in
which the revelations concerning the OPP
srations of Tweed were made has there
been such an opposition arrayed against
Tammany, and the returns show that
severe blow has been struck at the foun-
dalton of the most powerful local political
organization in the country
NEW YORK, Nov. THE scene on News
paper Row last night when it was con-
ceded by the Democrats that Morton had
won the governorship and Strong the
mayoralty was one of wild enthusiasm.
Fully 10000 thronged the thoroughfare,
blocking traffic and impeding the horse
and cable cars When the concessions by
the Democrats were announced there
seemed to be three Republicans to every
Democrat present. Tammany men said:
"This will lead to II thorough reorganiza-
ton of the Democratic party in this city,
and it will bring about good results two
years from now" AS the bulletins were
flashed on the walls each raised tho cnthu
siasm higher a specimen one is this for
the state: Eight hundred and seventy
four districts of 1889 districts outside of
New York and Kings give Hill, 90,50S;
Norton 120, T22; Wheeler, 1,40l. The
same districts in 1891 gave Flower, 9S,63i;
Fassett, los, 30; net Republican gain over
1891, 20,OS0"
Remarkable Figures for Gotham.
Another that was significant was this:
"Hill carried Albany city by 900 plurality;
Flower carried it by $500, " Then there was
this from the city: mine hundred and
fifty districts give, Hill, l02, 49S; Morton,
1904 Wheeler, 1882" Such figures
were unprecedented. Next Morton's
plurality in Brooklyn was figured at 1000
and Hills in this city at not over 5000,
while the indications were that Morton
would carry New York and Kings county
by 10000 plurality. No wonder that Grant
entered the police headquarters where
Strong was receiving returns and con-
graduated him and acknowledged his VIC
tory. Strong thanked him. President
MARITIME, of the police board, said Tam
a single vote.
A Gathering at the State Capitol.
A dispatch from Albany thus describes
the scene in the executive chamber: "a
notable gathering of politicians sat in the
executive chamber last night and read the
returns. Senator Hill arrived at Z p. III.
Colonel Williams, the governors private
secretary, came next. Already batch of
bulletins was on the senator's desk. At
7:30 all hope of saving the state was given
up by those who had thus far arrived. 1t
was even feared that New York city
might go Republican, and it was conceded
that Hill could carry it but by II few
thousand votes Governor Flower ar
rived 7:45 p. m. He was shown the dis
patches and ut once gave up all hope. He
said it seemed MS if great tidal wave had
struck the metropolis. He said he had
felt the wave coming when he was in New
York. All the time Senator Hill said not
IA word, but read the returnsand consulted
manual containing votes of former
years. AS the county returns came from
the state the senator shook his head and
said "Well, they did pretty well by me-"
To consoling remarks of friends he made
no reply except to smile.
Estimated Majority for Morton.
The Republicans carried New York state
by estimated pluralities ranging from $780,
900 to 10000. These figures represent the
probable plurality of Levi p Morton
(Rep) for governor over David b. Hill
Dem.).
