conceded that Republicans had car
ried that State by 100000.
NEW YORK STATE BY 275,oOo.


NEW YORK STATE BY 275,0O0.
The Legislature Also Goes Republican
and Will Elect HiIPs Successor.
Alabany, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Never in the
history of national electionsc has there
been such quiet and orderly election
as that which marked the close of
heated and remarkable campaign con-
Quoted in this State. Hardly had the
polls closed when the results from small
districts began TO come in and the city
vote in New York and other cities began
to be tabulated
In the State-at-large, outside OF New
York city and Brooklyn, the expected
gain Of the Democrats from the regular
Republican pluralities were not apparent
at all
Later in the night as the fuller returns
from the counties were known, it became
fairly sure that the plurality for the
Republican National ticket i'm the State
would exceed 275,000 That the Repub-
| liean candidate for Governor, though
elected, ran behind the National ticket,
was due TO the vote in Rensselaer, and Al
baRy counties. In no county of the State
was there recorded a Democratic gain.
The Congressional delegation from the
State does not differ materially from that
elected in 1894 the Republicans eleeting
to-day p members, besides one indie
pendent Republican candidate, while the
Democrats elected six members.
The vote in the State for General Pal
mer at the head of the National Demo
cratic ticket was less than one per cent
of the total vote.
The complete vote of New York city
gave Mckinley a plurality of 1850, as
| against Democratic plurality Of 10000
| for Cleveland in 1892, a net Republican
gain of 92,SS9 votes. In New York city
the Palmer vote was about two per cent
Of the total.
The State Assembly, out of $50 mem
bers, has III Republicans; the Democrats
elected 80, so that on joint ballot OF the
Legislature to elect a successor to Senator
/ Hilk the majority viii be Republican.
ACCORDING TO ST. MARK.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-Marz A Hanna wires
the Associated Press at l a. m. as fol-
lows: My opinion is that Mckinley is
/ elected 10y a majority that will settle the
issues OF this campaign and guarantee
/ to the civilized world that the United
/ States can be depended upon to maintain
/ her honor and integrity"
CANTON AT MIDNIGHT.
Canton, O., Nov. 3.-At 1890 Maj. Nc
1 IIinley received a tremendous ovation
from his Canton townspeople. He took
/ position on top of the porch Of his
residence and waved his salutations to
/ the enthusiastic crowd. Midnight was
! light as day by hundreds of fambeaux
blazing fires of red and green. Maj. Nc
Kinley made no address. For an hour,
the remarkable spectacle proceeded. The
| whistles of all the factories joined in one
long continued screech, which echoed
] throughout the town. Mingled with
this was the booming of cannon, the
firing of guns and pistols and the shouts
from thousands of throats. The crowd
was massed solidly for three squares
down Market street.
STILL In DOUBT.
Canton, Nov. 3.-The dispatches re-
ceived here indicate that Nebraska, Kan
sas and Kentucky are in doubt, and no
positive claim is made of them by Major
McKinley's friends.
CALIFORNIA FOR BRYAN.
San Francisco, Nov. 3.-Chairman AL
ford of the Democratic State committee
makes the following statement: / see
no reason from the few returns received
so far in California to alter my former
prediction that Bryan will carry the
State by $4,000. AT the Republican head
quarters, chairman Mclaughlin gave out
the following: ! am not willing to make
any definite estimate as to figures as the
returns are too meagre. / am confident,
however, that Mckinley will carry the
State.
