NEW YORK.
Roosevelt Runs Ahead Of Mckinley's
Majority.

New York, Nov. S.-Theodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this, his native
State. is second only to McKinley's
2S6,000 in 1896. 1t exceeds McKin-
ley's In 1900 by about 41,500. The late
returns show that there were cast for
him in New York State about 1856 900
votes more than for Parker. Not only
was his vote heavy in the country dis
tricts, where the Republican strong
holds are, but in Greater New York,
he ran much closer to Parker than
had been expected, even by his own
campaign managers. 1t had been es-
timated that he would come down to
the Bronx with better than 100000
plurality, but the figures tonight
showed that this forecast would be
exceeded by approximately $4,000. In
the city Parker's supporters had ex-
pressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 100000 to 100000
more than Roosevelt but in this they
were disappointed by more than l00,-
600 votes. SO Overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the even
ing The earliest counties to report
made it clear that the Parker vote
everywhere fell below Bryan's in prac-
tically all the upstate districts. In
Greater New York Parker's plurality
was from 10000 to $4,000 larger than
Bryan's, but in the State, according to
the late reports, his total vote fell 16,.
900 short of Bryan's.

Parker Knitted.
Under the surface the Democratic
party has not been united. The Bry-
an leaders apparently were loyal, but
the minor leaders for weeks have been
working to defeat Judge Parker in or
der to bring about new reorganiza-
tion of the party looking to the NOM
mating of Mr.. Bryan for president in
1908.
On the other hand, many followers
OF Mr.. Hearst have been engaged in
slaughtering Parker, and the candida
cy of Thomas r. Watson on the Pop
ulist ticket has been used as a mask
under which an anti-Parker propagan-
da has been conducted throughout the
country.
The effect Of this is shown in the re.
turns Of Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and Illinois.
The word seems to have gone around
sec etly to Bryan men in every sec
tlon Of the country to defeat Judge
Parker because he was the candidate
Of David B. Hill and various Gold
Democrats in the East, so that the
party could once more be reorganized
on radical lines and make fight
against the trusts four years hence.
The knowledge of this appears to
have inspired Judge Parker TO take
the stump and make his serious charge
against President Roosevelt and Mr..
Cortelyou in the hope that it would
swing the radicals back into line. He
made the move too late, and the con.
spiracy Of radical Democrats was
brought to successful conclusion at
Yesterdays election.
