The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-11-07
Larger Than Most Sanguine Re-
pubhcans Predicted.
TAMMANY COMPLETELY ROUTED.


ocrats, Gets Over Twenty Thousand Votes.
Twenty-threo Republican Congressman
Eiected-strong's Big Vote for Mayor.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE Republicans
have carried New York state by estimated
pluralities ranging from 130, 900 to 150, 600.
These figures represent the probable plu-
rality Of Levi p. Morton, rep, for COVER
nor, over Daytd 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 ex-
cess of that polled for Flower and Fassett
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, 1t 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 We're conducting the
campaign for the Democrats in the state
that deprecated majorities below the Har.
lem for the party there would be offset by
for the Democracy. The most sanguine
expected that the Democratic party, with
Senator Hill at its head, would show recu-
peration from the vote given for Maynard
In 1893. In place Of all anticipated results
comes sweep Of such proportions and
from every quarter beyond the highest
claims made by the Republicans.
From pluralities ranging from 81, 900 to
10000 in the district below the Harlem
for the Democratic party the Republican
party turns the city vote into 10000 plu-
rality for its state candidates. In all the
Democratic estimates given on the eve Of
election it was contended that the Demo
cratic plurality below the Harlem would
be at least 5000. 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 east 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.. Mortons vote in all of Tho
up country districts show 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 a reliable
Democratic stronghold, good for from 900
TO 1000 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 confident that Senator Hill
haT clio ka..
Maynard carried the county by d normal
Democratic majority. notwithstanding
the Republican trend in other portions OF
the state.
In Monroe, with its Republican CITY OF
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
Murphy, held as closely to the Democratic
normal vote as any in the state. The
county only fell off about SO0 where its
neighbor. Albany county, lost at least
2,6D. Erie county repeated its record of
last year by giving the usual Republican
maiorities.
Otsego county doubled for Morton the
majority 1t gave Harrison and trebled Tint
it gave Fasse:t. Chemung held pretty
closely to its normal vote, especially in
Elmira City. st. Lawrence county crawled
up over 1900 on its Fassett vote, in favor
Of Morton. Westminster falls into line
with big majority for Morton, and Nj.
agara county treblcs its Fassett plurality.
The results of the sweeping victory are
more tar reaching than simply the election
OF the Republican state ticket. While the
returns are very incomplete in constitu-
tional amendments, it is highly probable.
according To the first returns. that all of
them are adopted The percentage Of
losses as compared with the vote for tho
head of the ticket is not nearly so large as
1t was supposed to be, and the result is.
therefore, that the legislature will consist
of 30 senators and 100 assemblymen, that
pool selling offices will be prohibited, and
that II new judiciary system will be inau.
gurated. The sweep also means that for
the first time in many years that the Re
publicans will have control of the state
legislature, and at the same time have a
governor in the chair in political harmony
with them.
In this city Tammany is defeated. The
nominal majority of 60,0O0 usually polled
by that organization has been obliterated
and an opposition majority of 10000 to
1900 has elected Strong mayor.
