NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-New York
state has been carried by the Re
publicans by pluralities ranging from
As, 900 to $4,000, compared with plu-
rality of 24,4S4 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 a Republican net
gain of 1880 compared with the
vote of two years ago. Maintaining
the same average the gains will
reach $4,000 outside of the Greater
New York. In the two cities below
the Harlem the Democratic plurality
of 60,343 two years ago has been re-
duced to about $4,000, giving the state
to the head of the Republican ticket
| by $4,000 plurality in round numbers.
In 1893 Palmer Republican), for
secretary of state, had plurality Of

year Palmer, Republican, for secre-
tary of state, has carried the state

turns from 1,795 election districts out
of a total of 1888. or more than one
half of the outside election districts,
by probably 100000 plurality King,
Democrat, has carried New York and
Kings counties by a plurality of
nearly $4,000, giving the head of the
Republican ticket a safe plurality of
$4,000 in the state at large.
BOTH HOUSES.
The two branches of the legislature
remain as before, under the direction
of the Republicans. The election
throughout the state was orderly and
rapidly conducted and the results
We're quickly compiled. 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 sue
cess that the vote was polled quicker
than ever before.
The figures from New York city in
the early evening showed that there
was little or no chance for the Demo-
cratic state ticket, for the meager ma
jaritieS given in the various districts
indicated SO small a plurality that it
would not offset the nominal plurality
which the Republicans bring down to
Harlem bridge. The total vote of the
state shows a falling off compared
with the vote of 1893, the decrease be-
ing confined, however, to the districts
north of the Harlem river. The city
vote is fully equal to that of two
years ago.
At midnight returns from 2,22O cleo
tion districts out of 1888 above the
Harlem, or two-thirds of the state out
side of New York and Kings county,
gave Palmer Rep) for secretary of
! state, 2S5, ,S02; King Dem.), 1872, ,7S6.
showing a Republican plurality of
1G9016 a Republican gain of Is, ,332 COM
pared with the vote of 1893.
ROOSEVELT'S FOLLY.
The World tomorrow will say edi-
torfally: THE reactionary result in
the pig-headed folly of the president
of the police board. But for the ex-
asperating effect of Mr.. Roosevelt's un-
called for, unjust harsh and oppres-
| sive execution of the Sunday excise
| law, a union of all the anti-Tammany
| forces would have been as easy and as
| triumphant as it was last year. The
! predicted reaction has come. Tamma-
| ny triumphs in the first election after
| its tremendous overthrow. The result
| is d1Scouraging. 1t impeaches the ca
! paclty of the people for Self-goVern-
ment. 1t shows that the voters are
more susceptible to wrongs than intel
| llgent as to remedy: Every considera-
ton of decent politics, good govern
| ment and the liberaliZing of sumptu-
ary laws required the success Of the
reform ticket. One mans obstinate
| folly and the unreasoning anger of the
| people have defeated it. The large Re
| publican majority of the state will
| stand a monument to this sort of vir-
| tue that exploits itself in regulating
the morals of other people The wider
| political consequences of the result are
! grave. 1t means the strongest possi-
bic nomination by the Democrats for
| president and the hardest struggle in
years as the basis of a hopeful cam
| palgn next year"
TAMMANY's CITY VICTORY.
| The election in New York city was
! fought upon entirely different lines
/ from that in the state. The fight was
| between the straight Tammany ticket
on the one side and the fusion of Re-
! publicans and independents on the
! other. On account of the various of
! fees voted for the returns were late
! coming in, but Tammany's victory was
| never in doubt and it's plurality will
probably be between $4,000 and 22O00
The city complete, with the exception
of 163 districts, gave Hamilton (fusion)
103, SAT, and Purroy (Tammany), 119, 976
on the vote for county clerk The Tam
many candidates for the leading posi-
| tions were: Justices of supreme court,
| Charlcs H. Truax, Frederick Smith and
| Charles Mclean; county clerk, H. D.
| Purroy; register, William Laymer;
! judges of general sessions, M. F. Nc
Han and Joseph Newberger; justices of
| city court, r. A. Wyck, j. p. Schuch-
man and Z. f. Odwyer.
The vote of the Independent County
Democratic organization was consider
ably below 10000 and the Good Govern
ment ticket vote will scarcely reach
1,000. The Socialists polled more than
5000 votes, which makes them the third
party in this city.

discouraged at the result. The Re
publican chairman says the lesson of
the day is that there will be no more
fusion. Fusion is dead for ever"
he said, and politicians of every fac
ton echo his declaration.
Returns from 2,519 election districts
out of 1883 north of the Harlem, leav-
ing S64 districts to be heard from, at
1;S0 a. m, give Palmer, Republican, for
secretary of state, 32l,47S King, Demo-
crat, 2O75S7, a Republican plurality of
1881, showing a Republican gain of
25,152 compared with the vote of 1893
The same relative gain will leave the
