Roosevelt is Elected Governor of New York
Though Greater New York Rolled up
Heavy Majority for Van WICK.

Heavy Majority tor Van Wyck.
New York, Nov S.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt has been elected Governor OF
New York.
His estimated plurality over Van
WyclS is 21,537, which is close running
for the Empire State.
At the present writing indications
point to the election of eighty Republic
cans and siXty-one Democrats to the
General Assembly. Nine districts are
still to be heard from. Giving these 70
the Democrats. the Republicans will still
have majority of ten in the lower
house and fourteen on joint ballot
New York, November S.-Theodore
Roosevelt, Republican, late Colonel of
the First United States volunteer caval-
~. has been elected Governor of this
State by plurality anywhere from
$4,000 to 10000 All Colonel Roosevelt's
associates on the Republican State ticket
are probably elected with him. The re-
turns both from Greater New York and
from the counties outside of this NUM-
cfpality are incomplete, but enough have
been received to indicate heavy falling
off in the vote of the State, while that
in the city was well sustained. The
consequence is falling off IN the Repub
lican plurality in the State from 212,000
to the Appropriated figures given above.
Outside of Greater New York the vote
for Van Wyck is only about one-fifth of
one per cent above that of Porter in
1896. There appears to be loss of four
Republican Congressman in the Brooklyn
districts, the Second, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth; and Congressman Quigg, who had
a majority of about 5000 at the election
last year has been defeated by VIM. AS
tor Chandler In the Albany district,
the Twentieth Glynn. Democrat, has
been elected to succeed Southwick, Re-
publican.
New York, Nov. Sat II o'clock the
indications We're that Theodore Roose
welt, the Republican nominee, had car
ried the State by plurality over Angus
tus Van Wyck of about 10000. The total
Republican yoate when received will
probably show falling off as compared
with that for Governor Black i'll 1896 of
about IA per cent. In the municipality
of New York the old-time Democratic
majority was Appropriated, Van Wyck's
vote being about $4,000 greater than
that of the Republican candidate.
The latter result was helped in some
measure by the result in the Borough
of Brooklyn tkings county,. which in
1896 gave Black. Republican, a plu-
fality of 23.6S2, but today gave q Dem
ocratic plurality of about 16.S30
Brooklyn is the home of Judge Van
Wyck, but this fact does not wholly
explain the practical reversal of purali-
ties, which it is possible is attributable
to the lukewarmness of the friends of
jacob Worth, who was deposed from
the craftsmanship of the county commit
tee as consequence of his opposition
to the plans of Senator Platt in the
mayorality contest last year
The returns from many counties up
the State are incomplete and i'm some
cases are missing altogether. The indi- |
cations being computations upon the |
figures at hand, point to a Republican
plurality in the counties above the Har-
lem of about 100000, to Offset which the
Democrats can produce only the So |
600 plurality of Greater New York.
The soldier vote will not be counted |
until December 1st but it is not likely
that the ballots from the camps will
materially alter the result. There would
seem to be the greater probability that
the majority for Roosevelt will be in
creased.
The figures on Congressman are not
accessible at this hour, but there are in
dications that the Democrats have made
some gains in New York city districts.
The majority of Congressman Quigg inl
the Fourteenth district has been reduced
by William Aston Chanler, but he is
probably returned. Congressman SulZer.
Democrat, whose district renominated
him upon free silver platform, is I'M
doubtedly reelected.
Little is known as to the votes for
State Senators and assemblymen. The
Republicans had in the last Legislature
majority of % on joint ballot, and
leaders of the party profess confidence
that there will be no material diminu-
ton of that majority A Republican
Legislature will mean the election of a !
Republican to the United States Senate
in place of Senator Murphy.
Every condition was favorable to the |
polling of a full vote in all parts of the |
State. In this city there was no fulfill
ment y predictions of trouble at the
polls. The State deputies authorized by
act of the last Legislature were most
in evidence in the east side districts
where the cheap lodging houses are To-
Gated. The number of arrests made
was below rather than beyond the usual
record of 4 general election, and in
many cases the occasion was found to be
in the carelessness of registration clerks.
Fights at the polls were few and easily
quelled. There was no friction between
deputies and police, one lending assist
ance to the other in the preservation of
order.
The following Congressman are elected:
Lewis w. Emerson. Rep; William AS
tor Chandler Dem: John *. Stewart,
Rep; George w. Ray, Rep. Martin NJ.
Glynn, Dem.
DEMOCRATS GAIN SEVEN CON
MEN.
Midnight.-In addition to the forego-
ing there are, seemingly, Democratic
gains in the Eighth and Thirteenth dis
