New York, Nov. 7.-McKinley and
Roosevelt have swept the country. The
republicans will have a larger vote in the
electoral college than in 1896, and they
will increase their majority in both SEN
ate and house of representatives.
The state of New York has gone re-
publican by a plurality between 100, 900
and 10000. Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., is
elected governor and the entire repub-
lican state ticket has won by a plurality
probably 10000 less than that given for
the presidential electors.
Croker, Jones and Stone have all gone
publican votes. Instead of rolling up
10000 plurality for Bryan in Greaver
New York, Croker rolled up less than
$4,000.
The actual figures computed are e.
437 for the greater city. Croker gives
Bryan 28,24o in Manhattan and Bronx,
1904 in Queens and Cos in Richmand.
On the other hand, Mckinley carries
the borough of Brooklyn by 34,oo2.
The Herald and the Times, in the
forecast published Oct. FL, said that
Greater New York would not give more
than 10000 plurality for William J..
Bryan. Croker declared that the papers
were crazy and did not know what they
were talking about.
The Herald and Times, in their fore
cast OF Oct. FL, predicted Mckinley
would have 281 electoral votes and
Bryan 100. Every democrat in the coun-
try declared the papers biased, instead
OF telling the news, and trying to in
fuence the election. They, too, prob
ably think differently now.
Returns from some of the states are
very late coming in. For instance, Ne
braska and Kentucky are considered
doubtful states, simply because the re-
turns are meager. The indications are
that Mckinley has a little the better Of
it in Nebraska, while Bryan's chief
paper supporter in Kentucky has given
up the state.
Never before was such a tremendous
vote polled in this country, and never
before were such tremendous majorities
rolled up as are recorded in some states.
To start with, the registration was phe-
nomenal, all records having been brok-
eff, east and west.
Pennsylvania reports a plurality Of
100000 for Mckinley. Texas, on the
other hand, reports a plurality OF 2L5,ooo
for Bryan. Illinois, which Bryan was
led to suppose was doubtful ten days
ago, has given to Mckinley a plurality
of 10000. In 1896 it gave him a plural
ity Of $4,000. Wisconsin, which in 1896
gave to Mckinley a plurality of 1o2,-
900, now swells it to $4,000.
Kansas, which the Herald predicted
would go for Mckinley, the signs clear
ly indicating a change three weeks ago,
has gone, for the republican ticket by a
landslide among the populists and
grangers.
In and around New York state the
Mckinley. wave rolled almost as high
as it did in the middle west. The New
England states present a solid sound
money front. Connecticut is republic
can by $4,000, and Mclean, republican,
is elected governor, running 10000 be-
hind his ticket. New JERSEYS swelling
figures are up to $4,000 and may reach
the wonderful plurality of $1,000. which
the state gave four years ago. -
Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
GINA are all in the republican column
again. All these states have been indi-
Gated likely to go for Mckinley in the
Herald's forecast. Naturally, with such
heavy voting and such a big trend to
one side, everything has been carried
for Mckinley, sound money and the
policy Of expansion.
In the state of New York the Re-
publicans gained six or eight represen-
t%atives. The republican majority in
the house of representatives will likely
be th%irety-fve. The republicans in the
present house have 1856 and the oppo-
sition 1853.
The indications are that while Nc
Kinley is sure to 20 to the White
House, Bryan is not likely to 90 to the
senate. The latest reports are that the
fusion Legislative ticket in Nebraska is
weak, and that the republicans may
have the legislature.
. In New York state the republican or
ganization gained eight state senator.
and nine assemblymen. Although the
supporters of Bryan at a late hour are
claiming the state of Washington, il
seems almost certain that all the Pa.
cifc coast states have gone for Nc
Kinley. Wyoming, which was carried
by Bryan in 1896 by. 5o3 plurality, has
gone for Mckinley by 1000 plurality
= South Dakota also has apparently
gone into the republican column, but
the fate of Senator Pettigrew us ir
doubt. The republicans are making {
desperate effort to capture the legis.
Y lature, so as to prevent his return tc
the senate, and the f~usionists, aided b.
the gerrymander, are making a hare
fight to carry the legislature and re-
elect him.
Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, at an earl,
hour last night conceded the election o
Mckinley.
, In yesterdays landslide even Idaho
; hung in the balance. Bryan carried thu
state by about 300, which is a remark
able change from four years ago, whel
he had a plurality of 6,43o. 1t is be
lieved Nevada will elect harrington, re
