Plurality

1heouore Roosevelt, republican,
late colonel OF the First United
States Cavalry, has been elected
governor of this state by plurality
anywhere from 1900 to 20, 900.
All Col. Roosevelts associates on
the republican state ticket are
probably elected with him. The
returns from both Greater New
York and from the counties outside
of this municipality are incomplete,
but enough have been received to
indicate heavy falling off in the
vote up the state, while that of the
city was we'll sustained. The con-
sequence is a falling off in the re-.
publican plurality in the state from
212 900 to the appropriated figures
given above.
Outside of Greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about
one-ffth of one per cent above
that Of Porter in 1896. There ap-
pears to be loss Of four Republi
can congressman in the Brooklyn
district, the Second, Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth; and Congressman
Quigg, who had a majority of 5000
at the election last year, has been
defeated By William Astor Chan
Ter. In the Albany district, the
Twentieth, Glynn, Democrat, has
been elected to succeed South.
wick, Republican,.
In addition to the foregoing there
are seemingly Democratic gains in
the Eight and Thirteenth districts,
both in this city, Daniel J. Riordan
being elected in the one and Jeffer-
son M. Levy in the other. This
makes total gain of seven con-
gressmen.
New York, Nov. Sat II
o'clock the indications were that
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
nominee had carried the state by a
plurality over Augustus Van Wyck
of about 10000. The total repub.
lican vote when received will prob.
ably show falling off, as compared
with that for Governor Black in
1896 of about ID per cent. In the
municipality of New York the old
time democratic ma ority was ap-
proximated, Van Wick's vote being
about 5000 greater than that OF
the republican candidate. This lat
ter result was helped in some meas
ure by the result in the borough of
Brooklyn Kings county, which in
1896 gave Black, republican, a p1u-
rallty of 1862, but today gave a
democratic plurality of about 49,
$50. Brooklyn is the home of Judge
Van Wyck, but this fact does not
wholly explain the practical re-
versal of pluralities, which, it is
possible, is attributable to the luke
warmness of the friends of Jacob
Worth, who was deposed from the
Craftsmanship Of the county COM
mittee as consequence Of his op-
position to the plans Of Senator
Plat in the mayoralty contest last
year.
The returns from many counties
up the state are incomplete and in
some cases are missing altogether.
The indications being computions
upon the figures at hand, point to
republican plurality in the coun.
ties above the Harlem of about
100000 to Offset, which the dem
ocrats can produce only the 50 900
plurality of Greater New York.
The figures on congressman are
not accessible at this hour, but
there are indications that the dem
ocrats have some gains in New
York City districts.
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 full vote in all
parts Of the state.
Fights at the polls were few and
easily quelled. There was no fric-
ton between deputies and police,
one lending assistance to the other
in the preservation of order.
On the streets down town there
were the usual election night
noises and scenes. Returns were
displayed in front of the newspaper
Offices and in numerous public
places. Democrats goodnaturedly
accepted the fact of the defeat of
their state ticket which was appar-
ent from the fact of the defeat Of
| their ticket which was apparent
