[RY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Albany, Dec u-Secretary of State McDonousn'
who is n member OF the State Board of Canvassers,
has been making canvass privately OF the elec-
tion returns filed his office. The board Will meet
tomorrow to canvass the of the State. Speak
ing of the result of the election tonight Mr.. Nc
Donough said:
Governor Oden received the most votes Of any OF
the Republican candidates for a State Office. he
poled 665 $50 votes. This total is at least seven
hundred more than the total for Controller Miller
who received the next highest number of votes
Assuming that most of the men who voted 1oF
Governor Odell were Republicans. he received the
largest number Republican votes. 1t is true that
his plurality is less than that of some OF the other
Republican candidates, but that is due to the CIR
cunstance that Coler ahead of all the other
Democratic candidates except Cunneen and Gray
Coler did not drag away any votes from Odel. that
is obvious The returns show that ColeE gained
votes from ProhibitiontSts, the Social Demo-
Gratis and the Social Labor party.
The total vote as the Secretary of State has
complied it for the State candidates is follows:

SAVED HIS RECORD.

Big Steve" Rowan, a Chicago police- man about whom many amusing stories are told. is the hero of an anecdote in Lippincott's magazine. On one occasion he found a weary individual sitting OIL the curbstcne. "G'wan homel' ordered Rowan. Can't" replied the weary one, and when he tried to get on his feet 1t was evident that he spoke the truth. He was too unsteady for the purposes of successful navigation. 'Ha-ave ye tn money fir a cab?" asked Rowan. "No," answered the man. "Ye can't stahy here," asserted Rowan. Cant get anywhere else," said the man.
 For a moment 1t looked as if the police- nan would have to spoil his record by making an arrest, but he was equal to the emergency. "Get up." he said, "I'll help ye." The man got on his feet. and the policeman held him up. Come on acrost tn r-road," was the next order, and the weary one was assisted to tho lther side of the street, where Rowan gently put him down on tne curb again and left him. "'Tis betther so," he said. He's on Casey's beat now, an Casey's that ambitious he likes to get up iv mornin' to go to tn polls coort.'
