The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-11-09

on joint ballot.
NEW YORK, Nov. Sat midnight
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 Republican vote when
received will probably show falling
OF rs 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 approx.
mated, Van Wyck's vote being about
So 900 greater than that Of the Repub-
lican candidate. This latter result was
helped in some measures by the result
in the borough Of Brooklyn (King
county,, which in 1896 gave Black
Rep), a plurality of 1852, but today
gave a Democratic plurality of about
1880 Brooklyn is the home Of Judge
Van Wyck, but this fact does not who'll
ly explain the practical reversal of
pluralities which, it is possible, is at
tributed to the lukewarmness of the
friends Of Jacob Worth, who was de,
posed from the craftsmanship Of tho
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 soma
cases are missing altogether.
The indications being computations
upon the figures at hands, point to a
Republican plurality in the counties
above the Harlem of about 100000, to
offset which the Democrats can produce
only the $4,000 plurality of Greater New
York.
The soldier vote will not be counted
until Dec 1, but it is not likely that
the ballots from the camps will ma
terially alter the result. There would
seem to be the greater probability that
the majority for Roosevelt will be in
creased.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
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 Chan
Ter. but he is probably returned.
Congressman Sulzer, Democrat
whose district renominated him upor
a free silver platform, is undoubtedly
reelected.
Little is known of the vote for state
publicans had in the last election &
majority of twenty-eight on joint bal
lot, and leaders Of the party profes
confidence that there will be no ma
terial diminution of that majority. 4
Republican legislature will mean th'
election Of a Republican to the Unitet
States senate in place Of Senator Muir
ply.
Every condition was favorable to tn
polling of a full vote in all portions o
the state. In this condition there wa
no fulfillment of predictions Of troubl
at the polls. The state deputies author
lied by an act of the last legislator
were most in evidence in the East sid
districts, where the cheap lodgin
houses are located. The number of ar
rests made was below rather than be
yond the usual record of a general cleo
ton, and, in many cases, the occasio
was found to be in the carelessness c
registration clerks. Fights at the pol
We're few and easily quelled. Their
was no friction between deputies an
police, one lending assistance to tn
other in the preservation Of order.
On the streets down town there we1
the usual election night noises an
scenes. Returns were displayed
