ROOSEVELT THE GOVERNOR.
INDICATIONS THAT HIS PLURALITY
WILL DE ABOUT 10000.


WycIS Reverses the Former Vote
of brooklyn by Getting 10,3SO
Plurality in Kings COunty-Van
WycIS's Majority in New York City
About 10000.
New York, Nov. S-Theodore Roosevelt,
Republican, late colonel of the First Uni
ted States Volunteer cavalry. has been
elected Governor of this state by plu-
rality anywhere from $4,000 to 10000. All
Roosevelts associates on the Republican
state ticket are probably elected with him.
The returns, both from Greater New
York and from the counties outside of this
municipality. are incomplete, but enough
have been received to indicate heavy
falling off in he vote up the state, while
that in the city was well sustained. The
consequence is falling off in The Repub-
lican plurality in the state from 212,00O to
the approximated figures given above.
Outside of Greater New York the vote
for Van Wyck is only about one-hfth of
one percent above that of Porter in 1895.
There appears to be a loss of four Repub-
ncan congressman in the Brooklyn dis
tricts, the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth;
and Congressman Quigg, who had ma
jority of about 5000 at the election last
year has been defeated by William Astor
Chanler
In the Albany district. the Twentieth
Glynn, Democrat, has been elected to sue
ceed Southwick, Republican.
Mldnight-In addition 10 the foregoing,
Democratic
the Eighth and Thirteenth districts, both
| in this city. Daniel ]. Riordan being elect
ed in the one and jefferson Nj. Levy in
the other This makes a total Democratic
gain of seven congressman.
o'Clock-Revised figures on congress-
men show that Representative Bennett
| Republican, is reelected in the Fifth dis
| trict Brooklyn, and that Representative
! d. /. Riggs is defeated by Prendergast.
The vote in the Thirty-second district
| Buffalo, is very close, with the probability
| of the election of Ryan, Democrat In place
of Mahany, Republican.
A Democrat Livingstone, is reported
elected in the Nineteenth district, at pres
| ent represented by Cochran, Republican.
! In the Sixteenth congressional district,
John @. Underhil, Democrat, was elected,
succeeding w. l.. Ward, Republican.
| 400 a. m.-Enough returns from assem-
| bly, districts have been received to show
| the probable election of eighty Republi-
| cans and sixty-one Democrats, with nine
! district doubtful, or not heard from. Con-
| ceding all the latter 10 the Democrats The
| Republicans will still have a majority of
| ten in the assembly and fourteen on joint
| ballot. This compilation, if borne Out by
official returns will mean the election of
! a Republican to The United States Senate,
in place of Edward Murphy Jr., Demo-
| crat.
| New York Nov Sat II O'Clock the in
dications were that Theodore Roosevelt,
the Republican nominee, had carried the
state by a plurality over Augustus Van
Wyck of about 100000 The total RepubH-
can vote, when received, will probably
show a falling off as compared with that
| for Gov. Black in 1896, of about IA per
| cent. In the municipality of New York
! the old-time Democratic majority was APP
proximately, Van Wyck's vote being about
50. COO greater than that of the Republican
! candidate.
The latter result was helped in some
measure by the result in The borough OF
Brooklyn Q<ings county,, which, in 1885,
gave Black Republican a plurality of 49,
es2 but to-day gave a Democratic plural
icy Of about 1880.
BROOKLYN is the home of Judge Van
Wvck but this fact does not wholly ex-
.nla,n the practical reversal of plurality.
which. it is possible. is attributable to the
| lukewarmness of the friends of Jacob
| worth who was deposed from the chair
| roanship of the county committee as a
| consequence of his opposition to the plans
] of Senator Platt 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
baino coupueted upon the figures at hand,
! mont TO Republican plurality IN the
| counties above Harlem OF about lOO,OO0 TO
! offse, which the Democrats can produce
onlv the sOOOO plurality of Greater New
The soldier vote will not be counted until
! Uec hut II is not likely that the bai-
| lois from the camp will materially alter
the result There would seem to be the
greater probability that the majority Tor
Roosevelt will be increased.
The figures on congressman are not ac-
cessib,e at this hour, but there are indi-
cations that the Democrats have made
some gains in New York city districts.
The majority of Congressman Quigg in
| the Fourteenth district has been reduced
bv William Astor Chanler, but he is prob
ably returned.
Congressman Suizer, Democrat. whose
district renominated him upon a free sill
yer platform, is undoubtedly reelected.
Little is known as to the votes for state
senatorsNand assemblymen. The Republi-
cans had in the last legislature major
ity Of 2S on joint ballot and leaders OF
the party profess confidence that there
will be no materiaf diminution of that ma
| Jority.
A Republican legislature will mean the
selection Of a Republican to the United
States Senate in place Of Senator Murphy.
/ Every candidate was favorable TO the
polling Of a fun vote in all parts Of the
| state.
In this city there was no fulfllment Of
predictions of trouble at the polls. Tho
state deputies. authorized by act OF the
4 last legislature were most in evidence in
