NEW YORK, Nov 9-The latest
figures obtainable show that Roose-
velt's plurality is not far from 10000.
Only ten counties give Van Wyck plu-
ralities, and they were all localities
swayed by cities, as New York, Kings,
Queens and Erie. The falling off in
Roosevelt's plurality, as compared with
Blacks in 1896, is due to a decrease in
the Republican vote up the State of
$1,000 and in Greater New York of
$1,000. Against this Van Wyck gained
2O,O00 above the Harlem and 53, coo be-
low 1t, as compared with Porter two
years ago. The Democratic plurality
in Greater New York was 80, 203.
The result on Congressman in this
State seems to have surprised even the
Democrats themselves. Nineteen of
their candidates We're elected, the Re
publicans getting but fifteen. In the
present House the New York delegation
stands twenty-seven Republicans to
six Democrats. In the Greater New
York district all the Democratic can

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9-The del

The next Pennsylvania Legislature,
which meets in January and elects a
successor to Senator Quay, will con-
sist of 254 members. The friends of
Senator Quay claim to-day that they
have 131 votes on joint ballot for Mr..
Quay, three more than is necessary to
elect. This estimate. they say, is inde-
pendent of the members favorable to
Senator Mecca in AIlpcrhp11u W
and the followers of David Martin in
Philadelphia. The anti-Quay people in
this city dispute these figures, and
claim that they have elected sufficient
members of the Assembly TO defeat the
reelection of Senator Quay.
Senator Quay, in a telegram from his
home this morning. comedies the cleo
tion of two Democrats to the Legisla-
ture from his home county of Beaver
by 400 majority. This is a Democratic
gain.

votes and the Senate Republican by
about eleven votes.
