indications seem to point to a Re-

nation justify me in giving up the

made up, and 1 have received no word

counts have not been completed. We
have won in the Third and, Fourth
West Virginia districts, but the chair
man of the district admits the election
Of the Republican governor by 1900 to
1,700. That district has undergone the
most remarkable change ever known
in politics Of the country, and 1t Is due
most likely to the A. P. A. and partly
to the manufacturing interests. 1t is

Denver, Nov. 6.-Indicatlons at $50
o'clock are that Mcintyre. Republican,
for governor will have $4,000 to 10000

A Great Tidal Wave Had Struck the
State


Albany. N. Y, Nov. GA notable
gathering of.politicians sat in the exc
cutive chamber tonight and read re-
turns furnished by the Associated
Press. Senator Hill arrived at 7 p. m.
He was the first to arrive. Col. Will
liams, the governors private secretary,
came next. Already a batch of bulIe-
tins were on Senator Hills desk. New
York county had been sending In re-
turns that were not OF an official ma
ture. At 1880 all hope of saving the
state was given up by those who had
thus far arrived.
tt is even feared that New York
city might go Republican, and 1t is
conceded that Hill would only carry It
by few thousands. Governor Flower
arrived at 745. He was shown the dis
patches and at once gave IN all hope
of saving the state with the aid OF
New York CITY. He said 1t seemed as
II o. great tidal wave had struck the
metropolis. .He said that he felt that
a. wave was coming when he was In
New York this morning. He had
hoped that up the state the districts
would fall to HILL All the time Hill
said not word. but read the bulletins
and consulted manual Of the vote Of
former years. As the county returns
came in from the state. Hill shook his
head andfsaid, "well, they did pretty
we'll by me-" To the consoling re-
marks of friends he made no reply
except to1 smile.

ka. Even Chairman Wilson seems to

will have to do some tall hustling in
the next presidential campaign.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE Republicans
have carried New York State for gov
ernor by an estimated plurality rang
ing from 100000 to 100000. The total
vote for the two leading candidates
is considerably in excess of that polled
for Flower and Fassett for governor
in 1891.
In addition is the vote cast this year
for Wheeler, independent Democrat,
which will exceed 10000. The tremen-
dous Republican sweep in this city
and the state, it is estimated, has
elected twenty-five Republican con-
gressmen, a gain of over eight. 1t
was expressed in all the Democratic
estimates on the eve of election IT con-
tended that the Democratic plurality
below Harlem would be at least $4,000.
Surprises were not confined to the
change OF vote, but an analysis shows
that Senator Hill will run behind even
| the vote or Maynard, while in the
state he fell below the vote cast for
Governor Flower in 1892. An analysis
Of such figures as are obtainable to-
night shows that the Republicans alone
have gained by increased registration,
| for Mr.. Mortons vote in all the upper
country districts shows large gains
over the Fassett vote in 1891. In the
cities the same increase in registra-
ton appears to have been detrimental
to the Republicans.
The vote in Albany was one of the
many surprises Of the election Re-
turns from Albany county in the ma
| tional issues has been looked upon as
the reliable Democratic stronghold,
good for from 1000 to 1000 Democratic
majority. The Democratic managers,
in view of this fact, and that 1t is the
home of Hill, looked for q majority Of
not less than $500. They felt confident
that Hill would be given handsome
vote, as Judge Maynard had carried the
county by normal majority, notwith-
standing the Republican trend in 9TH
er portions of the state. In Monroe,
with its Republican county officers,
the natural Republican plurality was
doubted, and late figures giving Nor
ton 5000, where in 1891 the same county
gave Fassett $500. In Rensaeler coun-
ty he led as closely to the Democratic
normal vote as any county In the state.
The results of sweeping victory
are more far reaching than simply the
election of the Republican state ticket
While the returns are very incomplete,
on the election amendments, it is prob
able, according to the first returns,
that all of them are adopted.
The percentage Of loss as compared
with the vote Of the head Of the tick
ct is not nearly SO large as it is sup
posed to be, and the result, therefore,
is that the legislature will consist of
so senators and $50 assemblymen; that
pool selling on races will be prohibited,
and that the new judiciary system
be inaugurated. The sweep also means
that for the first time IN many years
the Republicans will have control Of
the state legislature. and at the same
time with governor in the chair In
political harmony with them.
