made some gains in New York city
districts. Congressman Sulzer, Demo-
crat, whose district renominated him
upon a free silver platform, is un-
doubleday reelected.
Little is known as to the votes for
state senator's and assemblymen. The
Republicans had in the last legislature
a majority of 28 on joint ballot, and
leaders of the party profess confidence
that there will be no material diminu-
tion of that majority. A Republican
legislature will mean the election of a
Republican to the United States SEN
ate, in place of Senator Murphy.
Every condition was favorable to the
polling of full vote in all parts of the
state. In this city there was no fulfill
ment of predictions of trouble at the
polls. The state deputies, authorized by
act of the last legislature, were most ia
evidence in the east side districts,
where the cheap lodging houses are
located. The number of arrests made
was below rather than beyond the
usual 4CSO4 " VI SCUGTdl 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 lend
ing assistance to the other in the pres
eryation of order.
Enough returns from assembly dis
tricts have been received to show the
probable election of so Republicans ana
81 Democrats, with nine districts
doubtful or not heard from. Conced-
ing all the latter to the Democrats. the
Republicans will still have a majority
of ten in the assembly and IA on Joint
ballot. This computation, il borne out
by official returns, will mean the cleo
tion of a Republican to the United
States senate in place of Edward Muir
ply, Jr., Democrat.
The election of Captain William AS
tor Chanler, Democratic nominee for
congress from the Fourteenth congress
sional district, was conceded by a
good sized majority by the Quigg man
ayers at IL o'clock last night. The
political friends and associates of
Captain Chanler declared him elected
by over 10000 majority. Quigg's ma
1ority two years ago was nearly IL 900.
All Colonel Roosevelt's associates on
the Republican state ticket are prob
ably elected with him. The returns both
from greater New York and from the
