With That for Governor Black in
 1896, of About II Per Cent.-A Repub-
 lican Plurality Above the Bronx River
 of 100000 Offset a Democratic PIural-
 ity In Greater New York of so, ,OO0.
 New York, S.--At il o'clock the indi- cation were that Theodore Roosevelt, the republican nominee had carried the state by plurality over Augustus Van Wyck of about 10000. The total re- publican vote. when received, will prob ably show a falling off, as compared with that for Governor Black in 1896 of about IA per cent In the municipality of New York the old time majority was approximated Van Wyck's vote being about S0,000 greater than that of the republican candidate. The latter result was helped in some measure by the result in the borough of Brooklyn (King's county), which in 1896 gave Black, rep, a plurality of 23,6S2, but to-day gave a democratic plurality of about 16,830. Brooklyn is the home of Judge Van Wyck, but this fact does not wholly explain the practical rever- sal of Dlurallties, which, it is possible, is attributablN to the lukewarmness of the friends of Jacob Worth, who was deposed from the chairmanship of the county committee as a consequence of his opposition to the plans of Senator Platt in the mayoralty conest last year.
 The returns from many counties up the state are incomplete and in some cases are missing altogether. The in- dications, being computations upon the figures at hand, point to a republican plurality in the counties above the Bronx river of about 100000 to offset which the democrats can produce only SO,0o0 plurality of Greater New York. The soldier vote will not be counted until December 1, but it is not lokely that the ballots from the camps will materially alter the result. There would seem to be the greater proba bility that the plurality for Roosevelt will be increased.
 The figures on congressman are not accessible at this hour, but there are indications that the democrats have made some gains in New York city dis tricts. The majority of Congressman Quigg in the Fourteenth district has been reduced by William Astor Chand- Ter, but he is probably returned. Con- gressman Sulzer, dem, whose district renominated him upon a free silver platform, is undoubtedly reelected.
 Little is known as to the votes for state senators and assemblymen. The republicans had in the last legislature a majority of 2S on joint ballot and the 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 large vote In all parts of the state. In this city there was nc fulfillment of predictions of trouble al the polls. The state deputies author iZed by act of the last legislature were most in evidence in the east side dis tricts where the cheap lodging houses are located. The number of arrests made was below the usual record of a general election, and in many cases the occasion was found to be in the care lessness of registration clerks. Fights at the polls were few and easily quel1- ed. There was no friction betweer deputies and police, one lending assist ance to the other in the preservation of order. On the streets down towr there were the. usual election night noises and scenes. Returns were dis. played in front of the newspaper of fees and in numerous public places Democrats good naturedly accepted the fact of the defeat of their state ticket which was apparent from the returns displayed early in the evening anC found what compensation they could IT the result in the city.
