Republicans Carry the State by 10000,
and Retain the Legislature.
/ NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-New York state
has been carried by the Republicans by
pluralities ranging from 5000 to 55, 900,
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 tho Harlem"
show net Republican gain of II, 1908
compared with the vote Of two years ago.
Maintaining the same average, the gains
will reach $1,000 outside of greater New
York. In the two cities below the Harlem
the Democratic plurality of e0,343 two
years ago has been reduced about 12, 900,
| 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 81, ,s27 in New
York state above the Harlem river, while
Meyer, dem, had q plurality in New York
and Kings counties Of 60.S43, giving the
Republican candidate plurality of "a, 4s4
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 l 1856 cleo
| tion districts out of a total of 1885, or
more than one-half of the outside election
districts, by probably 100000 plurality.
King, dem, has carried New York and
Kings counties by a plurality of nearly
0,O00, giving the head of the Republican
ticket safe plurality Of $1,000 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 stnte was orderly and rapidly con-
ducted, 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 ad-
vices from oil over the state show that
there was little or no trouble, and that tho
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 10000 majority, though
the Republicans gain several senators and
representatives.
The Brooklyn city ticket is in doubt,
with the latest returns favoring tho Re-
publicans. Brooklyn has gone Demo-
cratic on the state ticket by about 5000.

The election of Amos Cummings, dem.,
to congress from the Tenth district is con-
ceded by the Republicans. Last year tho
district went Republican by small mar
gin. Cummings' plurality is estimated
} at 1000.
In counties where the Democrats had
expected to gain, except Albany, the gain
was not apparent and the whole support
of tho 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 vet it
had not polled the vote that it was sup
posed 1t would, indeed 1t fell far behind.
Even Albany county did not come up to
the record 1t was supposed to make. The
result, taken at its best, was n well told
victory for Republicanism SO far Is state
issues won't.
In the municipalities the Democracy
won. TammAny n 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 n 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 go 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.

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 1893 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 to
. be n Democratic gain towards normality
In tho votes was induced by the gain from
, New Yurk city, where Tammany had
; mstie meagre sort Of record by obtain
: ing plurality In New York.
Tho Socialists polled moro than 5000,
which makes them the third party In thts
dsy.
