officially show the election of the follows
ing justices of the supreme court:
Morgan B. O'Brien, democrat and fusionistT
Samuel Greenbaum, fusionist; James A. Blan-
chard, fusionist; John Proctor Clarke, fusion
ist. Clarke, who got the smallest plurality OF
any of the men elected, headed Charles w.
Dayton, the nearest man to him on the judi
clal ticket, by 6,116 votes, and beat Robert A.
Van Wyck, the present mayor. by 2s s,O8O
Van Wyck Butchered.
So badly was Mayor Van Wyck scratched
that returns indicating his vote for ius4
tice Of the supreme court are late, and it
is difficult to even attempt to estimate the
final figures, but 1t is believed that ha
will run nearly 10000 behind some of his
associates on the county and judicial
tickets. All of the fusionist candidates
for justice of the supreme court in New
York county are elected and all OF the
democratic candidates are beaten. The
name Of Justice O'Brien, however, ap.
pears on both tickets as a candidate for
justice of the supreme court.
Present appearances indicate that the
democrats will have just one out of six
teen members of the board of estimate
and apportionment Of Greater New York,
the board which, under the new charter,
succeeds to many Of the powers formerly
vested in the mayor. The democrat who
is certain of position on the board of
estimate and apportionment is Borough
President Cassidy of Queens.
Legislative Results.
In addition to the election of an entire
new assembly. two state senators were
voted for at the recent election. The
senators were elected to fill vacancies
caused by death in the thirtieth and forty
third senatorial districts. In the thir-
tieth district William D. Barnes (rep1
was elected. while in the forty-third dis
trict Morton E. Lewis, one of the repub-
lican leaders in the last assembly, won.
The ele' tion of Mesrs. Barnes and Lewis
leaves y , senate unchanged. There will
be thirtyf1ve republicans and fifteen
democrats in the, senate of 1902 which is
the same number each party had in tha
senate Of 1901. The assembly Of 1909
probably will stand as follows: Repub-
licans and fusionists, 108; democrats, ~,
This is in all probability republican
and fusionist gain Of three, leaving the
democrats in minority of sixty-two.
Through the State.
In the municipal elections throughout
the state the republicans effected some
gains in the larger cities. Buffalo, the
only frst-class city outside Of the me-
tropolis, elected Erastus c. Knight, re-
publican, by over 5000 majority. OF the
four second-class cities, Syracuse was
csaptured by the republicans, Mayor Nc
Guire, one of the democratic leaders Of the
state, being defeated Albany and Troy
were retained by the republicans Both
parties are claiming Rochester and tha
plurality Of A. j. Rodenbeck republican.

LIGHT VOTE BUT BIG PLURALITIE
G. o. p. Has Probably Gained Ten
Seats In the General
Assembly.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines. Iowa. Nov. 6.-The most
remarkable victory in the history of lows
was won yesterday by the republican
ticket headed by A. B. Cummins, candi-
date for governor. At II o'clock last night
Chairman Spence of the republican state
central committee issued a ,atement, es
timating Cummins' plurality at 100000.
Later returns indicate it will exceed
that figure will reach 100000.
The plurality Of Mckinley last year was
98,606. Then almost the entire vote Of
the state was out. This year, with an ex-
ceptionally light vote, almost a third be-
low that of 1900, Cummins has been able
to equal or nearly equal McKinley's plu-
rality.
The vote yesterday was 15 per cent less
than in 1899. when Governor Shaw was
elected, yet Cummins plurality will out
strip Shaw's. which was $4,000, by from
$4,000 to 10000.
Much the Largest known.
The largest plurality ever given a gov
ernor in Iowa heretofore was $4,000, won
by Drake in 1895.
The democratic vote yesterday was ab-
normally light. Phillips received but a
small share Of the democratic vote. Many
of his party supported Cummins. The pro-
nlDlClOn vote was ABOUT three times us
strength last year. and is estimated at
25, 1000.
Many prohibition republicans knitted
Cummins and many anti-Cummins repub
.licans stayed at home. Their delinquency
was more than made up by the demo-
Gratis.
In this county Cummins received a mag
nifcent Endorsement. his plurality reach
ing $500. In Woodbury. and Scott coun-
ties large Dluralities were rolled up for
Cummins also. Even Cedar Rapids, the
home Of Judge Hubbard, gave Cummins a
larger plurality than it did Shaw in 1899.
Legislative Gains.
Returns from the counties on the legis-
lative ticket are slow in coming in.
Chairman Spence estimates the repub-
licans have gained ten members of the
legislature. Scott county republicans
elected Senator Hayward and two repre-
sentatives.
In Allamakee county Robert Hufschmidt,
democrat, was elected as the result Of
the effort of the republicans to keep his
name off the ballot.
+. Clinton county went heavily democratic
and the probabilities are David Brant is
defeated for the legislature.

New York, Nov. 6.-The reports re-
ceived during the early morning hours
from the outlying precincts of Greater
New York and some of the belated re-
turns from Manhattan island add rather
than detract from the fusionist victory
of yesterday.
For mayor, Edward M. Shepard (dem.)
appears to have carried only single
borough (Queens), and in this his plural
ity will not amount to more than few
hundred.
In the county of New York the last re-
naming hope of the democrats appears to
have been swept away by figures indicat-
ing the defeat of John T. Oakley for
sheriff by william T. 0sBrien. O,Brien's
majority, however probably will not
amount to more than 5000 or 1000.
The majorities of the fusionist candi
dates for justice Of the supreme court
and for William Travers Jerome, the fu-
sionist nominee for district attorney, are
even larger than reported last night.

CUMMING Majority Over Phillips Is
Creeping Up.

Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 6.-Returns are
coming In slowly, only one-half Of the
twenty one precincts having been heard
from If the same percentage of gain in
majority continues, Cummins (rep.) can
didate for governor, will have $4,000 over
Phillips.
The prohibition vote has been largely
increased, advancing from 5000 last year
to 25, 900 this year. Practically every pre-
cinct heard from shows falling off in the
democratic vote. Out of the ninety-nine
counties in the state the democrats have
carried only six.
The legislature from present returns
will contain 125 republicans and 25 demo-
Gratis, a gain Of ten for the republicans.
Chairman Spence contends that when
all the returns are in the plurality for the
republican ticket will be more than 100. 900
and that the gain in the legislature will be
four instead of ten. The total vote shows
q falling OF Of rs per cent.

part and the results were greatly modi-

whole the republican majorities held up
much better than in ordinary "off year"
elections. The continuance of prosperity
and the issue Of Let we'll enough alone"
made for the success Of the republican
tickets, while the democrats lacked is
sues, and organization.

that Maryland would elect a democrats

German.
From national standpoint this question
of Germans return is the most i'm
portant feature Of the elections. The
democratic minority in congress has felt
keenly his absence. If he returns it will
mean a restoration of of-leadership to a de-
moralized party. German will undoubted-
ly. be made chairman of the democratic
national committee and will have large
share in the reorganization of the party.
There is no particular significance In
the results in New York and Philadelphia.
The campaigns there we're local and the
results are a stand-off. In one the re-
formers won, in the other they lost.
On the whole, then, the results will be
regarded as a republican victory. Unor-
ganized and lacking a national issue, the
democrats failed TO make their customary
'on year" gains.
