iority.
An exceptionally large vote was

10000 ballots were cast out of a total
registration of SCI, COS.
A Landslide.
Albany, NY, Nov. 3.-Returns from
the state demonstrate that the repub-
lican landslides of the past W. years
were reversed TO the extent of chang
ing this morning something like 2i0,-
600 votes. Governor Blacks plurality
last year was over 100000. John Pal
mer, the republican secretary of state.
won the year previous by over 100000.
The indications are hat these cnor-
nous pluralities were swept away and
reversed by "A plurality of from 10000
10 10000 votes. The greatest surprises
are the great democratic gains In the
assembly IN 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. IL is equally surprising ih
the results of municipal campaigns of
the larger cities Of New York, Buffalo,
Rochester, Binghamptop, 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
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 70 election.
Return 10 Normal Conditions.
The result in Greater New York
completely reverses the conditions of
1896, when Mckinley had a plurality
in the same territory.
The entire Tammany ticket is elect
ed by 10000 TO 100000. Coler's plural
ity for comptroller exceeds loo, 900.
Both Van Wyck and Coler were free
silver democrats in 1896.
Parker, democrat for judge OF the
state court of appeals, carried Greater
New York by log 900. His total plural
ity below Bronx river is not less than
Jos. 600, insuring his election and dem
ocratic success in the state.
The vote for Van Wyck is about
44.25 per cent of the total vote cast
against 1925 per cent for Bryan In
1896 in the same territory. The united
vote for Low and Tracy is l4,127 more
than Van Wyck received. The metro
politan district is normally democratic
and the plurality for Van Wyck is a
return to normal conditions in an
election not influenced by national
issues.
Complete Returns.
Following is the grand total of the
votes received by the two leading can
didates for chief Judge Of the caurt of
appeals in the Greater New 70 k
territory, complete returns having
been received from all of the assembly
districts:
Wallace, republican. 139.772; Par
ker, democrat, 1867. Parker's plu'
rality over Wallace, l43, 19J.
The indications now IRE that tht
democrats have a small majority ~
the state assembly. In the greater cit,
ii Is estimated from very meager re-
turns that the representatives vii
be 81 democrats and 10 republicans
while in the upper part of the stat'
there are said TO have been change.
from republicans to democrats in q
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 senators ar
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 cour
of appeals range all the way from 35,
