What Earlier Returns Indicated.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-New York State
has been carried by the Republicans by
pluralities ranging from 600 to 55,0oo, COM
pared with a plurality of 24,iS4 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 net Republican gain of 12,S0S COM
pared with the vote of two years ago.
Maintaining the same average the gains
will reach 5000 outside of greater New
York. In the two cities below the Har-
lem the Democratic plurality of 60.343 two
years ago has been reduced about 1900,
giving the State to the head of the Re-
publican ticket by $1,000 plurality in round
numbers. In 1893, Palmer. Republican, for
Secretary of State, had plurality of S4,-
S27 in New York State above the Harlem
river, while Meyer, Democrat, had plur-
ality in New York and Kings counties of
e0.343, giving the Republican candidate a
plurality of 24,4S4 on the total State vote.
This year Palmer, Republican. for Secre-
tary of State, has carried the State above
the Harlem, based on returns from Lbs
election districts out of a total Of $685.
or more than one-half of the outside cleo
ton districts, by probably 100000 plurality.
King, Democrat, has carried New York and
Kings counties by plurality of nearly 5o,-
000, giving the head of the Republican
ticket safe plurality of $4,000 in the State
at large. The two branches of the Legis-
lature remain as before, under the direc-
tion of the Republicans.
The election throughout the State was or
derly and rapidly conducted, and the re-
suits were quickly complied. Ali the talk
about the difficulty of handling the blanket
ballot went for naught. So far as the sue
cess 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 ballot was so much of
a success 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 Democratic State
ticket, for the meager majorities given in
the various districts indicated so small a
plurality that it would not Offset the NOM
inal plurality that the Republicans bring
down to Harlem bridge. The total vote of
the State shows falling off compared with
fined, however. to the districts north of
Harlem river. The city vote is fully equal
to that of two years ago.
The new election law has unquestionably
| had the effect Of relieving voters of the i'm
| portunities and annoyances which, under
the old system. attended the exercising of
elective franchise. There was also not
| able absence from sight of the heelers pro-
| vided with money either for use or for
bail to dangle before the eyes of such as
might be supposed to be susceptible TO cor
| rupt influences. There was some complaint
| that the police were not given relief from
duty for time sufficient to permit of their
| voting, but nothing was done by any ore
| directly in interest to secure for them the
| right to vote. An application for a man
| damus on the police commissioners to al
was
made by lawyer named Blumenthal, act
| ing on his own responsibility before Judge
| Beekman, in the Supreme Court, but it was
| refused. Commissioner Roosevelt said to
| the courts: Eve have done all I'm our
| power consistently with the preservation
of the public welfare. to permit these men
to vote, and larger number of the force
have voted to-day than at any previous
| election
At midnight returns from 2,220 election
districts out of 1888 above the Harlem. or
| two-thirds of the State. outside of New
| York and Kings counties, give Palmer,
| S5,So2; King, 1S2,7S5, showing a Republican
plurality of 103.0ls. Republican. gain OF
1882. compared with the vote. Of 1893.
1t is now conceded the Republicans have
carried New York State "above the Har-
LEM for the head of the State ticket by
| a plurality clearly estimated at 100000. The
Democrats have carried New York city by
a plurality of fully 10000 for the head OF
| the State ticket, and have carried Brooklyn
| by 5000, giving the State to the Republicans
| by $4,000 showing a net Republican gain
| over the election OF two years ago of
nearly $4,000.
