Republicans Garry the State by $4,000,
and Retain the Legislature.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--New York state
has been carried by the Republicans by
pluralities ranging from 5000 TO 5000,
compared with plurality of "a, 4S4 for the
head of the ticket two years ago. Returns
from more than one-half of the election
districts outside of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn, or "above the Harlem,
show u net Republican gain of 12,SO3
compared with the vote of two years ago.
Maintaining the same average, the gains
will reach %, 600 outside of greater New
York. In the two cities below the Harlem
the Democratic plurality of 60,343 two
years ago has been reduced about l2,OOO
giving the state to the head of the Repub
lican ticket by $4,000 plurality, in round
numbers.
In 1893 Palmer, rep, for secretary of
state had a plurality Of S4,S27 in New
York state above the Harlem river, while
Meyer, dem, had plurality in New York
and Kings counties of 6034S, giving the
Republican candidate plurality of "a, 4Si
on the total state vote.
This year Palmer, rep, for secretary OF
state has carried the state above the Har-
lem, based upon returns from 795 cleo
ton districts out Of total of 1888, or
more than one-half of the outside election
districts, by probably 100000 plurality
King, dem, has carried New York and
Kings counties by plurality of nearly
$4,000, giving the head Of the Republican
ticket a safe plurality of $4,000 in the state
at large.
The two branches of the legislature re-
main as before under the direction of the
Republicans The election throughout
the state was orderly and rapidly con-
Quoted, and the results were quickly COM
piled. All the talk about the difficulty of
handling the blanket ballot went for
naught. So far as the success or failure of
| the blanket ballot was concerned the adj
| vices from all over the state show that
there was little or no trouble, and that the
ballot was so much of a success that the
| vote was polled quicker than ever before.
In this city the fight against Tammany
was futile, that organization electing its
full ticket by about 1000 majority, though
| the Republicans gain several senators and
representatives.
The Brooklyn city ticket is in doubt,
| with the latesu returns favoring the Re
| pubIicans. Brooklyn has gone Demo-
cratic on the state ticket by about 5000.
Ex-Inspector Williams, candidate for
the legislature in the Twelfth district,
comedies the election of his Democratic
| opponent Patrick Gleason has been re-
| elected mayor of Long Island City by a
large majority after a unique campaign.
For congress, in the Tenth district 40
election districts out of 151 give Greacen,
rep, 1896; Cummings, Tammany, 4,219;
Browne, S. dem, 179. Cummings election
is conceded.
The election of Amos Cummings, dem,
to congress from the Tenth district, is con-
ceded by the Republicans. Last year the
district went Republican by a small mar
| gin. Cummings plurality is estimated
| at 1900.
In counties where the Democrats had
expected to gain, except Albany, the gain
was not apparent and the whole support
! of the Democratic state ticket seemed TO
| fall upon New York and Kings county. In
Kings county the surprise was great. 1t
was the home county of the Democratic
nominee for secretary of state, and yet it
| had not polled the vote that it was sup
posed it would, indeed 1t fell far behind.
| Even Albany county did not come up to
the record it was supposed to make. The
result. taken at its best, was a well told

issues went
In the municipalities the Democracy
won. Tammany is in control Of New York
city, the Cleveland element in control in
Albany and Republicans dominant in all
other parts of the state. This gives a re-
suit that is not satisfactory to either party.
The state majorities for all Republican
candidates are in excess of any figures
thought of by leaders Of any party.
David b. Hill will not 60 back to the
senate at Washington unless the Demo
Gratis should elect big enough majority
in the assembly next year to overcome the
Republican majority in the state senate
on joint ballot.
In New York city the Good Government
organization viii not be entitled to print
its candidates on the regular ballots next
year, if it has a ticket in the field, as it did
not poll the per cent. of all votes cast
necessary under the law for place.
As the the returns from the counties
come in all predictions Of Republican
losses and gains were noted. Palmer, for
secretary Of state whose plurality it was
alleged would be greatly cut in all north
ern counties, showed a gain over his vote
Of 1898 in almost every county. He had
gained except in New York, Kings and
Erie. while his opponent had lost. The
only way In which there could be said e
Sc Democratic gain towards normality
IN the votes was induced by the gain from
