OUTCOME IN NEW YORK.
The Republicans Claim the state by
2HO.OOO

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-With the set
ting of the sun today the active work
Of one Of the most remarkable cam
paigns ever conducted in New York
was brought to a close. It has been a
struggle upon the part of the Demo
Gratis in New York state to keep the
majority Of the Republicans down to
a normal figure and to carry, if pos
sible, enough Of assembly districts to
prevent the sending Of Republican
successor to David B. Hill to the SEN
ate Of the United States. Chairman c.
w. Haclxett, Of the Republican state
committee, says in finally reviewing
the campaign:
The majority for the Republican electoral
ticket in this state will reach at least $50 600;
in New York city alone / am sure that We
shall obtain over $4,000 plurality. In addi-
ton to this we expect to clinch the question
of national control still further by sending
to congress a solid Republican delegation.
do not think that a. single Democrat can be
elected in this state to congress. In the as
sembly districts, although the Democrats are
making dickers for members, l believe that
we shall carry at least 112 out of the 100 dis
tricts, and possibly 10. That will give us
big margin to aid in electing a successor to
Senator Hill.
Chairman Elliott Danforth, of the
Democratic state committee, says:
We shall carry New York by at least go 600,
and that will elect the Bryan ticket in this.
state. The Republicans are counting upon
a majority of hundred thousand or more
UP the state but they will not get it. The
farmers vote will be a great surprise, and
the normal Republican majority up the state,
which is about g., Co., will be cut in half. We
expect to increase the Democratic list of con-
gressmen by at least five, and are pretty
sure of creating a surprise in the election of
asemblymen. In this latter canvass the
Democratic party is at great disadvantage
because of the rank apportionment OF the
districts by the Republicans two years ago.
From these statements of the lead
ers Of the two parties a fairly accurate
idea can be obtained by considering the
usual standing Of the relative MAORI
ties of the Democrats in New York city
and the Republicans above the Harlem.
Leader Sheehan, Of Tammany, believes
that the Democrats will carry New
York city by 80, 600, and does not exceed
these figures in any quoted interviews.
1t seems probable that the Democrats
will make some gain in the assembly
districts, but hardly enough to gain a
majority of the lower house. The
statements Of the chairman of the two
committees, 1t will be noted, ignore two
things, the election Of a governor and
the probable effect Of the third or gold
ticket In the matter Of the election Of
governor it Is conceded by both parties
that the vote for the head Of the state
ticket will not vary much from the ma
tional. The Democrats expect that the
Republican candidate, Black, will run
behind in his own county and possibly
in New York. The gold Democrats ex-
pect to poll about $4,000 in the state
and say that this will be drawn from
the regular Democratic vote, thus pre-
venting any probability of the election
Of Porter, the Democratic candidate for
governor.
