and a iusticeship of the court of appeals, it
appearing that the democratic candidates
for those offices had run wei! above ooeii
Cuneen, for attorney general. because ne
was indorsed by the prohibitionists, ana
Gray, for the court of appeals, on account
of the fact that many republicans supported
him.
Fer Conrress nineteen republican and
seventeen democrats were elected, with one
district in doubt. In the present Congress
are % republicans and IL democrats. To-
days estimates were that the ne" sss1e oe
senate would stand 30 republicans and 20
democrats and the assembly 81 republicans
and 81 democrats.
ALBANY, N. Y, November 5.-Since Ros-
well P Flower in a democratic landslide
defeated J. Sioat Fassett for governor, in
the face of republican claims for an easy
victory, there has not been such an over
turning of votes from the republican to
the democratic party in this state as that
which occurred yesterday.
With the exception of Erie, Albany and
Rensselaer, counties every democratic pre-
diction of sweeping majorities was carried
out and amplified. Especially was this true
below the Bronx. The claims of 10000 for
the Greater New York district were more
than verified, but the claims for Erie, AL
bany and Rensselaer, were not responded
to, and the failure to realize democratic
homes In those counties removed all chance
of Colers election.
Figures Are Interesting.
The figures both in totals and in detail,
are extremely interesting. With regis
tration per cent below that of 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 tremendous gain was
met and defeat for the republicans averted
by the also quite remarkable TACT that
several republican upstate counties gave
Odell larger pluralities than in 1900, while
several others equaled their pluralities of
that presidential year
Over its combined vote in the state two
years ago the democratic party gained at
least 35 per cent and the republican party
lost 40 per cent From plurality OF lll,oOo
Odell drops to below 10000 loss of over
100000
Judge Gray May Be Winner.
On the face of the returns early today,
while Judge Werner, the republican candi-
date 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 democratic nominee, ran $4,000
ahead of his ticket in New York city would
seen to indicate the latter's election, but 1t
may take the official canvass to decide the
matter.
In the case of Mr.. Cowan, the republican
nominee for attorney general, almost the
same condition prevails, it not being posi-
BILE to determine as yet whether the prohl-
bition ballots, upon which the name of
John Cunneen, the democratic nominee, was
printed, were sufficient in number to elect
Cunneen. This also may. have to be deter
mined by official count.
Legislature Safely Republican.
While the democrats have gained three
and possibly four members in the senate
and about fifteen in the assembly, the legis-
lature is safely republican, insuring the
election of a republican to succeed United
States Senator Platt.
