New York, Nov. 6-New York state
has been carried by the Republicans by
pluralfties ranging from $4,000 to S.
900, compared with the plurality Of a.
484 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 Re
publican gain of 12,S03 compared with
the vote Of two years ago. Maintain
ing the same average, the gains will
reach $4,000 outside of greater New
York. In tine two cities below the Har-
lem, the Democratic plurality of 6,343
two years ago has been reduced about
$4,000, giving the state to the head of
the Republican tickle by $4,000 plural
ity in round numbers.
In 1888 Palmer. Republican, for secre-
tary of state, had a plurality of S4,s27
in New York state, above the Harlem
river, while Myer, Democrat, had plu-
ralfty in New York and Kings county
of S0.343. giving the Republican candi-
date plurality of 244S4 on the total
state vote. This year Palmer, Repub-
lican, for secretary of state, has car
ried the state above the Harlem. based
upon returns from 1,7S5 election dis
tricts 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 county by a plurality of
nearly $4,000, giving the head of the Re-
publican ticket a safe plurality Of So
600 in the state at large.
| LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN.
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 were
quickly compiled.
All the talk about the difficulty of
handling the blanket ballot went for
naught. So far as the success or fail
ure of the blanket ballot was concern
ed the adviceS from all over the state
show that there was little or no trouble,
and that the ballot was so much of
success that the vote was polled quick
er 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 meagre ma
jorities given in the various districts
indicated so small a plurality that 1t
would not Offset the plurality which the
Republicans bring down to Harlem
bridge.
The total vote of the state shows a
fallig off over 1893, the decrease being
confined to districts north of Harlem
river. The city vote is fully equal to
that Of two years ago.
At midnight returns from 1900 cleo
la q L. 1.
lem river, or two-thirds of the state
outside of New York and Kings coun-
ties, gave Palmer, Republican, for sec
rotary Of state. $500; King, Democrat,
49,, 1856, showing a Republican plural
lty of 103.016, Republican gain of 49,
1872 compared with 1898.
New York, Nov. 6-The election in
New York city was fought upon entire
ly different lines from that in the state
The fight was between that of straight
Tammany and the Independents on the
other hand. On account of the various
officers voted for, the returns were late
coming in, but Tammany's victory was
never in doubt and its plurality will
probably be between $4,000 and $4,000.
The city complete, with the exception
Of 1853 districts, give: Hamilton. Fus-
Ion, 103,547; Prrroy, Tammany, 1895
on the vote for county clerk. The
Tammany candidates for the leading
positions were: Justices Of the SUI
Il
erick Smith and Charles F. Mclean;
county clerk, H. D. Purroy; register,
VIM. Papmer; judges of general ses-
sions, M. F. McMahan and Joseph
Newberger; justices of city court, Rob-
ert A. Wyck. John P. Schuchman and
e. F. o. Dwyer. The vote of the indie
pendent county Democrats organiza-
ton was considerably below 10000 and
the Good Government vote will scarce
" reach 10000. The Socialists polled
more votes than 5000, which makes
them the third party in this city.
| DR.. Parkhurst says he Is not discour-
aged at the result that a lesson has
been learned, that the committee Of fif
ty should never have gone into a fusion
movement, although 1t took what it's
members thought was the best course.
The Republican chairman, Lauer-
bach, says the lesson Of today is that
there will be no more fusion.
"Fusion is dead forever" he said.
and political politicians Of every fac
ton echo his decision.
New York, Nov. 5.-The World to-
morrow will say editorially,:
THE reactionary result in this city
yesterday was provoked by the pig
headed folly of the president of the
police board. But for the exasperating
effect Of Mr.. Rosevelt's uncalled for,
unjust, harsh and oppressive 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 re-
action has come.
Tammany triumphs in the first cleo
ton after its tremendous overthrow.
The result is discouraging. 1t impeach-
es the capacity of the people for self
government. 1t shows the voters are
more susceptible to wrongs than intelli
gent as to remedy. Every consideration
Of decent politics, good government and
the hberalizing of sumptuary laws re-
quired the success Of the reform ticket.
One mans obstinacy, folly and the I'M
reasoning anger Of the people have de-
feated 1t. The large Republican ma
jority in the state will stand a monu-
ment to this sort of virtue that ex-
PLOTS itself in regula ting the morals Of
other people. The wider political con-
sequences Of the result are grave. 1t
means the strongest possible nominal
ton by the Democrats for president
and the hardest struggle in years as the
basis Of hopeful campaign next year."
New York. Nov. 5.-The morning Ad-
vertiser will say tomorrow editorially:
Although the figures Of the Tam
many vote show that the organizat ton
possessed greater strength than had
been generally supposed. the success OF
