NEW YORK.
The Empire State Elects Republican Oni-
 cers and Legislature.

landslides is not by the vote of yesterday, dismissed as was predicted, except as re- lates to few municipalities. The state officers elected two years ago by the Re- publican party have been reelected, and two branches of the legislature remain, as before, under the direction of the Repub- licans The election throughout the state was orderly and rapidly conducted, and the results were so quickly compiled that all the talk about the difficulty of han ding the blanket ballot went for naught So far as the success or failure of the blanket ballot was concerned, the advices from all over the state show that there was little.or no trouble, and that the bal lot was so much of success that. the vote was polled quicker than ever before
 At an early hour it was apparent that the Democratic gain, while considerably over the vote of 1893 and 1894, was not sufficient to carry the state. Some of those earlier returns showed a rather signif- cant fact so far as New York city was concerned, and that was that while there was a large increase in the Democratic vote over the past two years there was not the same percentage of loss to be attribut- ed to the Republican ticket, and this fact was also evident in the districts received early in the night from outside some Of the big cities. This was accounted for by the fact that the Democratic vote of 1893 had been gfoatly reduced by people of that party remaining away from the polls.
 The following are the state officers elect ed:
 Secretary of State-John Palmer.
 oller-James A. Roberts.
 Treasurer-Addison B Colvin.
 Attorney General-Theodore E- Han- cock.
 State Engineer and Surveyor-Camp- bell W. Adams.
 Associate Judge of Court of Appeals Celora E. Martin.
 The legislature will be strongly Repub- lican. Of the 50 senators elected 3. are Republicans, 12 Democrats and 1 Inde- pendent Republican. The Republicans have elected 109 assemblymen and the Democrats fl.
 NYAcK, Nov 6.-Rockland county gives Republican majority, and Senator Lex ow is reelected
 UTICA, Nov. 6.-Henry J. Coggeshall has been elected senator for the Thirty fourth district by an approximate majority of $500.
 NEW YORK, Nov. o.-Returns from the counties north of the Harlem river give Palmer (Rep.), for secretary ,of state, 344, 709, King (Dem.) 224,7 715. Repub- lican plurality of 119, 994 outside of New York and Kings county, showing Re publican gain of 26, 333 compared with lS9S.'
 The gains oyer the vote of 1893 when | the present Republican state officers were | first candidates, were made chiefly in the | interior Of the state. Despite the fact that | the Democratic party carried New York city by plurality of 42,000. there was relative gain for the Republicans. as com | xxvha xhA in state ticket carried the city by 67 900 plu- | rality. In Kings county, however, the l Democrats made positive gain over 1893, | when the Republican state candidates had | a plurality amounting to 1000 votes. | This year tho Democrats appear to have carried the county by a plurality of ], 900. l. The Republican party elected a maiori- | ty of its candidates for the legislature. It | looks as though the senate would have as | its members 37 Republicans, 12 Democrats and l ndependent-Henry J. Coggeshall, l who had a Democratic indorsement. In
 the assembly there will be 107 Republic ans and 43 Democrats. This gives the Re | pubiicans majority on joint ballot of 8s | votes.
 The term of office of David B. Hill as | United States senator Wall expire in 1897. | The Republican senators just elected will l vote for Mr. Hills successor. With Re- l publican majority of 25 in the senate al
 ready assured, Mr. Hill must manage to
 elect S9 Democratic assemblymea in 1896
 in order to be reelected. This .would give
 him 89 assemblymen and 18 senators, if | Coggeshall should vote for him, or total
 of 102 votes, and the Republican party l would be in she minority, with 37 sena-
 tors and 61 assemblymen, or with a total
 vote of only 99 on joint ballot. MT. Hill,
 therefore. will have to increase the Dem-
 ocratic vote in the assembly of 1896 to Sq
 votes, or to make gain in the fall of 1896
 of 56 votes.
