JUST AS HE FEARED
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Chauncey NJ
Depew, who supported Tracy, said to-
day that the election resulted just as
he feared it would. 1--WE made the best
possible fight, but the hope of victory
against Tammany, with the entire
Tammany forces divided, is almost fu-
tile. The wonderful showing made by
Mr.. Low is surprising, to say the least.
1.-THE election issue in New York has
no national significance; but with an
alarming falling off in the Republican
vote in the state, with heavy losses in
New Jersey, Ohio and other states, the
Republican party is confronted with the
incontrovertible truth that Bryan and
bimetallism are not dead. 1t warns
them that they must take steps at once
and emphatically, to settle this cur
rency question beyond any hope of re-
opening it,
The Press says that the state house of
assembly will consist of 70 Republicans
and II Democrats.
CONDITIONS REVERSED
ALBANY, Nov. 3.-Returns from the
State, which are coming in slowly, dem
onstrate that the Republican landslidas
of the past two years have been re-
versed, if not by giving as large a ma
jority for the Democrats. at least by the
changing of something like 240. 900 votes
Governor Blacks plurality in the State
last year was over 200, 900. John Palmer
the Republican Secretary of State. won
the year previous by over 100000 The
indications are that these enormous
pluralities have been swept away and a
reverse plurality of between 60, 900 and
50,000 is given. The greatest surprise
of the returns are the great gains made
in the Assembly by the Democrats
many of them being in counties and dis
tricts where there was no expectation
on the part of Democratic managers of
winning. Republicans attribute these
gains to the heated municipal cam
paigns and the trading Of votes. The
