IN OHIO AND PENNSYLVAIA
Kentucky. New Jersey, Utah. Maryland
and New York Made
New Record.

New York, Nov. New York state
has been carried by the republicans by
pluralities ranging from $4,000 to $4,000,
compared with a plurality 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 net republican gain
OF 1888, compared with the vote of two
years ago. Maintaining the same ave-
rage. the gains will reach %, 900 outside
of Greater New York.
In the two cities below the Harlem
the democratic plurality of 6O,S4S two
years ago has been reduced about 49,
000 giving the state to the head of the
republican ticket by $4,000 plurality, in
round numbers.
The two branches of the legislature
remain as before under the direction of
the republicans. The election through
out the state was quietly and rapidly
conducted, and the results are quickly
compiled.
A PERFECT DAY.
The weather could hardly have been
better, but there was trouble because
of the unfamiliarity of voters with the
blanket ballot system. To overcome
this each party had an instruction sta
ton near every polling place, where
voters were taught how to fold the pa
pers, and in particular exhorted to risk
nothing by trying to scratch the ticket.
The polls opened at o'clock and there
was no disturbance anywhere. Police
Commissioner Roosevelt and Acting
Chief Conlin stated there was less col
onization this year than ever before.
Precisely at 4 o'clock this afternoon
the polls were closed in the 1892 election
districts of this city, and the counting
of votes was begun a few minutes later
Candidates and party leaders who had
spent the day working about the booths
hurried to the various headquarters,
where arrangements had been made to
receive returns There was a great rush
made for Tammany hall headquarters,
where, as in past years, the returns
were read. The voting in this city
passed off very quietly and there was
little trouble about the polls.
SOME OF THE RETURNS.
At midnight returns from 1902 cleo
ton districts out of 1888 above the Har-
lem or two-thirds of the state outside
OF New York and Kings county, give
Palmer, republican, 2S5, 1888; King, dem
ocrat, 1S2,7S6, showing a republican
plurality of 1030l6, republican gain of
1882, compared with 1898.
The World says Tammany has elect
ed II out of u senators and II assem-
blymen out of %.
Returns from 2519 election districts,
out of $685. north of Harlem river, leav-
ing S64 districts to be heard from, at
1870 o'clock this "wednesday morning
give Palmer, republican, for secretary
of state, 321, 476; King. democrat, 2O7-
S57, a republican plurality of 11S, S91,
showing a republican gain of 25,1S2,
compared with the vote of 1898 The
same relative gain will give the re-
publicans a plurality of 11S,5OO north of
the Harlem. Deducting the democratic
plurality of 41,612 for the head Of the
state ticket in New York city, and the
estimated democratic plurality of 5000
in Brooklyn, the republican plurality in
the state at large Will be settled to fully
10000.
The nearly completed returns show
that Tammany fell behind the vote for
the democratic ticket by from 10000 to
"a, 900 votes.
