feated J. Slost Fassett for governor. IN
The face OF Republican claims for an
essy Victory. there has not been such an
pyerturning OF votes from the Republican

That which occurred yesterday
With the exception OF Erie. Albany and
Rcnsselear counties every Democratic
pEediction OF sweeping maIorities was
carried out and emplihed. Especially was
this true below the Bronx. The claim of
Iseo for the Create. New York district
and which was supposed by the Republi-
rsns 20 be greatly exaggerated, were
more than verified. but the claims for
Erie. Albany and Rennselear were not re-
bponded 10.
Erie instead OF giving Democratic plu-
relify OF from Zoo 20 5os as had been
promised BY local leaders, turned the
county over 20 odsil BY 80. a loss from
the vote given Judge Van Wyck In 1888 OF

Albany county. which gave odell 1900
plurality In prssidential year had peen
promised 60 the Democrats by slight
plurality. Instead of that. In an on year
u beat its presidential year by lov con-
tributing one half of Odells plurality In
the state. Rennselear county gave yester-
day Republican plurality OF nearly ZOO
when, because OF local difference,
heavy Republican loss was expected, III
ls therefore quite apparent that TO these
three counties may be attributed the
election OF Gov Odel
The figures. both In totals and In de-
tafl are extremely interesting. with q
registration four per cent below that or
two years ago the Democratic party In
the Greater New York district showed
gain in voting power In a majority OF the
Counties OF over 40 per cent, and this tre-
mendous gain was met and defeated, for
the Republicans averted by the ALMOST
quite remarkable fact that several OF Re,
publican up1state eounues ssoo gave h,o ous, sey
eral others equaled their pluralities or
that presidential year. over Its combined
vote In the state two years ago the DEM
ocratic party gained at least 20 per cent
and the Republican party lost 40 per
cent. From a plurality OF ll1,lll cdell
drops to below 10000. loss OF over lOo.-
900.
On the face OF the returns early this
morning while Judge Warner, the Re-
publican candidate for judge OF the Court
of Appeals had run ahead OF his ticket
in many OF the counties up the state.
the fact that Judge Gray, the Demo-
cratic nominee. ran 10000 OF his ticket
in New York city, would seem to indi-
cate the latter's election, but II may take
the official canvass TO decide the matter.
In the case OF Mr.. Cowan, the Repub-
1ican nominee for attorney general al
most the same condition prevails. 1t not
being possible TO determine as yet
whether the Prohibition ballots upon
which the name OF John Cunnean, the
Democratic nominee, was printed were
sufficient In number 10 elect Cunnean.
This also may have 10 be determined
by official count
In the senate the Democrats have gain
Cd from three TO four members and In
Che assembly there Is Democratic gain
of about Is, but neither OF these jeop-
ardize the control OF the joint bodies ana
she Republican majorities are still large
