Wyck Will be elected Governor of the
State of New York by $4,000 plurality
The Republicans may get one Con-
gresham from Manhattan, and per-
haps not even that one, and not more
than four Assemblymen out of the
thirty-five from Manhattan and the
Bronx.
David B. Hill-This is going to be
another election like 1882, when Ihe
Democrats carried not only New York
and Brooklyn, but the rest of the State
above the Harlem. 1t is landslide
for Van Wyck.
Senator Edward Murphy, Jr.-The
Republican ticket will go down to
Spuyten Duyvil Creek with a majority
not to exceed 10000. This will be met
by an overwhelming Democratic vote
in New York City. l expect the Dem
ocratic ticket to be elected by from
$4,000 to 10000
Chairman p. III. McCarren of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee-Van Wyck will be elected. and his
will get 100000 in Greater New York.
Republican predictions:
Thomas C. Platt-Colonel Roosevelt
ates on the State ticket is assured be-
yond the shadow of a doubt. He will
have 100000 plurality or more.
Benjamin j. Adell, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee-Co
Roosevelt will win by 10000 majority.
Chauncey M. Depew-From my expe-
rience of years in this sort of cam
paigning, / have no hesitation in say
ing that the election of Roosevelt is as
certain as if it was all over with now.
l.. E. Quigg-It looks to me as if
Roosevelt might have 100000 plurality.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. THE in
tensely interesting State campaign has
closed. Each of the three leading can
didates-Stone Republican), jerks
Oemocratic) and Swallow prohibition
ist and honest government)-will have
a sufficient number of votes for cleo
ton, according to the claims tonight
of the respective party leaders Aside
from these claims, the county reports
indicate a plurality for Stone, the Re-
publican candidate, but with the ex-
pected total of a million ballots, and
possible cutting, this prediction may be
found incorrect.
jerks, the Democratic candidate, has
the benefit of a harmonized party, the
different factional leaders having been
brought together in his support during
the past month or six weeks.
While Dr. Swallow will undoubtedly
receive a heavy vote, there are indica-
lions of a falling off in the Swallow
following, in consequence of the recent
development of increased prospects for
the success Of jerks. Some of the
prominent independent voters have in
the last few days announced their in
tention to support jerks, believing that
in doing SO they could better make the
overthrow of the Republican ma
chine
The Republican and Democratic State
Chairmen concede Swallow some 49,
600 to $50, 600 votes, and each claims
that his respective candidates will be
the only one to receive over 100000
votes.
The Republican Chairman claims
135, 900 plurality for Stone, while the
Democratic Chairman figures out a
plurality of $4,000 for. jerks. The Pro-
hibition Chairman claims $4,000 plu-
rality for Swallow.
:. In the Congressional contest it is
generally believed the Democrats will
be successful in four or five districts
now represented by Republicans. The
present delegation from this State IS
composed of twenty-eight Republicans
and three Democrats, but personal or
fractional elements have entered into
the contest in some of the districts,
which will in all probability result in
placing a few of them in the Demo-
cratic column.
The new Legislature will elect a
United States Senator to succeed SEN
ator Quay. The present Legislature
has a joint Republican majority of 1T2
out of a membership of 254. Ex-Post-
master General John Wanamaker has
stumped the State thoroughly in urg
ing voters to aid in the defeat of legis-
lative candidates known to favor
Quay's election, and in many districts
fusion candidates have been placed in
the field in opposition to the regular
Republican nominees. While there is
no reason to doubt that the Republi-
cans will have a strong working ma
jority in the next Legislature, a fair
prediction of the number of anti-Quay
legislators to be chosen can scarcely
be ventured tonight. Twenty-Five of
the fifty Senators hold over, twenty
four of whom are Republicans. For
the lower house the full membership
of 204 will be chosen tomorrow.
NEW JERSEY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-On the eve of
battle the situation is extremely mixed,
and both sides claim a sweeping vic
tory in New Jersey. Foster M. Voor-
hees the Republican candidate, claims
he will be elected by 5000. The Dem
ocrats claim the State for E.. w. Crane
for Governor by from 1000 to 1900.
The Legislature is in doubt
NORTH CAROLINA.
WILMINGTON, Nov THE spirit
of the whites is so determined, and
so thorough, that there now seems
small probability Of any general dis
turbance here tomorrow. though there
may be troubles of minor nature in
the First and Fourth Wards, where the
negroes poll nearly all their city vote.
Indications point unerringly to a
sweeping Democratic success.
INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Z. - On the
eve of election both parties seem con-
fdent of victory. The Democratic
claim that they will elect
eight of the thirteen congressman. and
perhaps three more, and the Legisla-
ture will be Democratic by a. majority
of four-may be twelve-on Joint bal
lot.
The Republican leaders promise to
carry the State by from $4,000 to 3d.
600, and to elect fifty-nine Represent
tatives and four Senators, thus secur-
ing a good working majority. Over
street will be elected in this district
