The age-herald., 1898-11-09

New York, November 8.-[Midnight.1- Theodore Roosevelt, republican, late colonel of the First United States Volunteer cav airy. has been elected governor of this state By a plurality. anywhere from 1S,Ooo to 10000. All of Colonel Roosevelts asso- ciates on the republican ticket are probably elected with him.
 The returns both from Greater New York and from the counties outside of this mu- nicipality are incomplete. but enough has been received to indicate heavy falling off in the vote up the state, while that in the city was well sustaind. The conse- quence is a falling off in the republican plurality in the state from 212OO0 to the approximated figures given above. Outside of Greater New York the vote for Van Wyck is only about one-fifth of per cent. above that of Porter in 1896. There ap- pears to be loss of four republican con- gressmen in the Brooklyn districts, the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixts, and Con- gressman Quigg, who had a majority 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 succeed Southwick, republican.
 In addition to the foregoing, there are seemingly democratic gains in the Eighth and Thirteenth districts both in this city, Daniel F. Riordan being elected in the one and Jefferson M. Levy in the other. This makes a total democratic gain of seven congressman.
 The Result at II O'clock
 At Il o'clock the indications were that Theodore Roosevelt, the republican nomi- nee had carried the state by plurality over Augustus Van Wyck of about 10000. The total republican vote when received will probably show a falling off as com pared with that of Governor Black in 1896 of about IA per cent. In the municipality of New York the old-time democratic major ity was approximately Van Wycks vote, being about 80,0O0 greater than that of the republican candidate. The latter result was helped in some measure in the borough of Brooklyn CKing's county, which in 1896 gave Black, republican, plurality of 23,6S2, but today gave a democratic plurality of about 16S30. Brooklyn is the home of Judge Van Wick, but this fact does not wholly explain the practical reversal of pluralities, which it is possible is attributable to the lukewarmness of the friends of Jacob Worth, who was deposed from the chair manship of the county commission as 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, be- ing computations on the figures in hand, point to a republican plurality in the coun- ties above the Harlem of about 100000, to offset which the democrats can produce only S0,OOO plurality of Greater New York.
 The soldier vote will not be counted until December 1,but it Is not likely that the bal lots from the camps will materially alter the result There would seem to be the greater probability that the majority for Roosevelt would be increased.
 The figures on congressman are not ac- cessible at this hour. but there are indica- ticns that the democrats have made some gains in New York City districts.
 Congressman Quigg in the Fourteenth district has been defeated by William Astor Chanler Congressman Su,zer democrat, whose district renominated him Upon free silver platform, is undoubtedly re- elected:
 Little is known as to the vote for state senators and assemblymen.
 Republicans Have Legislature
 2 A. M.--Enough returns from assembly districts have been received to show the probable election of eigthy republicans and sixty-one democrats, with nine districts doubtful or not heard from. Conceding all inc. latter to. the democrats, the republi- f cans will still have majority of ten in 1.-the assembly. and fourteen on joint ballot. lThis computation if borne out by official kreturns. will mean the election of repub-
