carried New York State by at least
lao, 600, q falling otf of lis, 600 from his

New York, Nov. 7. Election returns
received this morning indicate that
the Republicans have carried New
York State by about LAG, 600. and that
the Democrats have carried Greater
New York by shout 27,500. This forms
one Of the surprises of the campaign,
for the reason that the Republican
chairman and candidate for governor,
Mr. Odell, had claimed the State in
his ante eleetion estimates by only
100, 600, and the Republicans generally
had been willing to concede that Mr..
Bryan would carry Greater New York
by at least 5O,0j0 The Democrats
claimed that Mr.. Bryan would carry
New York City by from so, 600 10 so, COZ.
Richard Croker sent Mr.. Bryan a
telegram informing him that, though
the State had gone heavily Republican,
New York county, which in 1896 gave
Mckinley %, 900 plura ity, had been
carried by the Democratic electors by
80, 0OO, gain OF $500. Mr.. Croker
was also quoted as saying: "No power
on earth nothing but bis death-can
prevent Mr.. Bryan from remaining the
natural leader of the people. ~
Detailed returns have not hecn re-
ceived on governor as yet, hut it is
known that the entire Republican State
ticket has been elected. and that the
Republicans have made gains in 10th
houses of the State Legislature. Mr..
Stanchfield, the Democratic nominee
for governor, ran ahead of his ticket in
the Southern tier" and Brooklyn, but
on the other hand, MIR. Ode!l carried
some of the up State counties by pin
ralities larger than the Republican
Presidential electors received. The
Republicans gained several members OF
Congress from this State, but the
official count may be required tn decide
in one or mere close districts
CROKER SURPRISED, DISAPPOINTED.
Richard Croker said at the Demo-
cratic Club today II was very much
surprised and disappointed at the way
TIE election turned out. | did expect
Mr.. Bryan to be elected President of
the United States.
Asked for the cause for defeat, Mr..
Croker replied: II believe that l6 to
had coed deal to DO with the vote
against Bryan in this State. What the
causes were in the Southern and East
ern States DO hot know. We all know
what the cause was in New YorK
State, the money centre of the East.
However, New York City did very we'll,
indeed. If the rest of the country had
done as well as New York, Bryan would
have been elected. Kings county did
very we'll, too. | do not regard the
decision OF the country az adverse to
Mr.. Bryan as a man. 1t was against
the principles. He is magnificent,
representative American. 1t is so far
ahead and so many things may develop
before the mayoralty caInpagn that
cannot see now how the present elec-
tion can affect that contest. | expect
to go to Europe as soon as all this fuss
is over"
