DEMOCRATS GET Pie
WILL CONTROL VAST ExPENDL
TUREs IN NEW YORK
BY ELECTING STATE TICKET
Expenditure of Nearly $2,0oo,ooo,ooo
Will Be in Hands of Demo-
cratic Engineer.

New York-Except William r.
Hearst, who was defeated by Mr..
Hughes by a plurality of 61,9SS in
the state, all the rest of the demo-
cratic candidates for state Offices are
probably elected. Lieut-Gov. Bruce,
the republican managers still claim,
will squeeze through by a small plu.
rality.
Here are the pluralities of the dem.
ocratic candidates in Greater New
York:
Lewis S%tuyvesant Chanler, for lieu.
tenant-governor, 134,943.
William S. Jackson, for attorney.
general, 141,446.
Frederick Skene, for state engineer
and surveyor, 144,1SS.
John S. Whalen, for secretary of
state, 1897.
Martin H. Glynn, for comptroller,
141,466.
julius Hauser, for state treasurer.
142,399.
Mr.. Hearst's plurality was 1884.
Mr.. Hughes plurality above the Har-
lem river was 1882. Any republican
candidate failing to secure a plurality
equally to his abov. the Harlem Is
defeated, and in the case of the ma
jority of state officers the plurality
must be from 1000 to 5000 more than
Mr.. Hughes in order to meet the DEM
ocratic pluralities rolled up in the city
Of New York.
Lieut.-Gov. M. Linn Bruce, accord
ing to returns from all the IA counties
received, was running on equal terms
with Mr.. Hughes above the Harlem.
AS Mr.. Chanler's plurality below the
Harlem was 34,943, Mr.. Bruce will
be elected by less than 1000 votes,
assuming that he comes down to this
city with a vote equal to that of MI
Hughes.
Mayer Defeated.
Little chance of election Is believed
to be left to any of the other repub
lican state candidates. The defeat Of
Attorney-General Julius M. Mayer ant
State Engineer and Surveyor Van AL
styne seems assured, and the election
Of the other republican state officials
seems to be equally in doubt.

The democrats confidently claim IL
the election of the entire state tick
except Hearst. They declare the c
fetal canvass of the state boal
Il might be necessary to determine IL
result.
Control of the office of state ems
neer and surveyor would give IL
democrats charge of the spending
,e $151,00 900 appropriated for the c
/. nal improvement, and of a big slice
the $4,000, 900 to be appropriated fl
good roads. The spending of the IL
ter amount will begin the first of Il
year, and after the work is once sta,
ed 1t is in the hands of the state e
m gineer and surveyor.
II In the attorney generals office
half dozen good places will be ma,

Of this office is great, and an attorn

trouble for the trusts.
Hearst Vote a Surprise.
o, The opposition to Hearst by den
Gratis in this city, resulting in a d
lc' ference Of over 10000 votes betwe
al him and his running mates, was t
surprise of the election. The cutti
was general in all the %boroughs.
in Manhattan, Hearst was cut almost
ed freely as in Brooklyn.
Among the various boards of viii
st the election of the state officers VOL
st give the democrats control are the
in nal board, commission of the cal
fund, board Of state canvassers, a
I'd state board of equalization.
