The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1897-11-13

At least eighteen democratic
cilmen, including the president, have
been elected. and the board OF alder
men will be democratic by a large ma
jority.
An exceptionally large vote was
pollcd despite the inclemcnt weather,
figures now at hand indicating that
100000 ballots were cast out Of n total
registration of 567,60s.
a Landslide.
Albany, NY, Nov. 3.-Heturns from
the state demonstrate that the repub-
lican landslides of the past two years
were reversed to the extent of chang
ing this morning something like 240,-
900 votes. Governor Blacks plurality
last year was over 2OO,O 600. John Pal
mer, the republican secretary of state,
won the year previous by over 100000.
The indications are that these cnor-
nous pluralities were swept away and
reversed by a plurality of from 10000
to 10000 votes. The greatest surprises
are the great democratic gains in the
assembly i'll many districts where
there were no expectations by the dem
ocratic managers of winning. The re-
publicans attribute these gains to
heated municipal campaigns and trad
ing votes. The morning returns indi-
cate that the republicans still control
the assembly, although by a decreased
majority. 1t is equally surprising in
the results of municipal campaigns of
the larger cities of New York. Buffalo,
Rochester, Binghampton, Syracuse,
Utica, Albany, Troy and Schenectady.
They all elected democratic mayors.
in Albany two republican candidates
split up the vote of that party and al
lowed the democrats to win. The com
bined republican vote was 1000 in ex-
cess of the democratic vote. In Buffa-
10 and Rochester republican success
was thought to be almost assured
prior to election.
Return to Normal Conditions.
The result in Greater New York
completely reverses the conditions of
1896, when Mckinley had n plurality
in the same territory.
The entire Tammany ticket is elect
ed by 10000 to 100000. Coler's plural
ity for comptroller exceeds 100, 900.
Both Van Wyck and Coler We're free
silver democrats in 1896.
Parker, democrat for judge of the
state court of appeals, carried Greater
New York by 100000 His total plural
ity below Bronx river is not less than
los, 900, insuring his election and dem
ocratic success in the state. 4
The vote for Van Wyck is about
1925 per cent Of the total vote cast
against 45.:25 per cent for Bryan in
1896 in the same territory. The united
vote for Low and Tracy is 14,127 more
than Van Wyck received. The metro
politan district is normally democratic
and the plurality for Van Wycll is a
return to normal conditions i'll an
election not Influenced by national
issues.
Complete Returns.
Following is the grand total of the
votes received by the two leading can
appeals in the Greater New York
territory. complete returns having
been received from all of the assembly
districts:
Wallace, republican. 139,772: Par
ker, democrat, as2,967. Parker's plu-
rality over Wallace, 143, 195.
The Indications now are that the
democrats have a small majority Of
the state assembly. In the greater city
it is estimated from very meager re-
turns that the representatives will
be 81 democrats and 10 republicans,
while in the upper part of the state.
there are said to have been changes
from republicans to democrats in 20
districts. In the last assembly the re-
publicans had a majority of rs. Con-
ceding all that is claimed by the demo-
Gratis. the next house will have 10 dem
%ocratic majority. State senator's are
not elected this year.
Other estimates give a republican
majority in the assembly of three.
Estimates of the majority Of Parker,
democrat, for chief justice of the court
of appeals range all the way from a.
900 to $4,000.
