New York, Nov. 7.-McKinley and
Roosevelt have swept the country. The
republicans will have larger vote in the
electoral college than in 1896, and they
will increase their majority in both sem
ate and house OF representatives.
The state of New York has gone re-
and 10000 Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., is
elected governor and the entire repub-
hcan state ticket has won by plurality
probably 10000 less than that given for
the presidential electors.
In beautiful landslide weather Bryan,
Croker, Jones and Stone have all gone
out OF sight in a perfect deluge OF re-
publican votes Instead of rolling up
10000 plurality for Bryan in Greater
New York, Croker rolled up less than
28,so.
Me actual figures. computed are IT,
437 pr the greater city. Croker gives
Bryan 2S,24o in Manhattan and Bronx,
1904 in Queens and Cos in Richmand
On the other hand, Mckinley carries

Bryan. Croker declared that the papers
were crazy and did not know what 'tney
were talking about
The Herald ard -Times, in their fore
cast ri .~covv./ 81, predicted Mckinley
would have oSI electoral votes and
Bryan 100. Every democrat in the coun-
try declared the papers biased instead
OF telling the news, and trying to in
Husnce 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 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-
homenal, all records having been brok-
en-, east and west
Pennsylvania reports a plurality of
goo, 900 for Mckinley. Texas, on the
other hand, reports plurality OF FL 1000

OF 10000. In 1896 it gave him plural

In and around New York state the
Mckinley wave rolled almost as high
rs it did in the middle west. The New
England states present a solid sound
money front Connecticut is republi-
can by $4,000, and Mclean, republican,
is elected governor, running 10000 be-
hind his ticket. New Jerseys swelling
the wonderful plurality OF 81, 600, which
the State gave four years ago.
Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia 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 big trend to
one side. everything has been carried
9or Mckinley sound money and the
policy OF expansion.
In the state OF New York the Re-
publicans gained six or eight represen-
ratives. The republican majority in
the house OF representatives will likely
be thirety-hve. The republicans in the
present house have 1856 and the oppo-
