DEMOCRATS GET Pie
WILL CONTROL VAST ExPENDI-
TUREs IN new YORK
BY ELECTING STATE TICKET
Expenditure Of Nearly $4,000, 1000
Will Be In Hands Of Demo-
cratic Engineer.

New York--Except William X.
Hearst, who was defeated by Mr..
Hughes by 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 stuyvesant Chanler, for lieu
tenantgovernor, 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,
1899.
Mr.. Hearsts 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
iority 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.-GOy. NJ. Linn Bruce, accord
ing to returns from all the II counties
received, was running on equal terms
with Mr.. Hughes above the Harlem.
AS MIR. Chambers plurality below the
Harlem was l34,943, 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 Mr..
Hughes.
Mayer Defeated.
Little chance of election is believed
to be left to any OF the other repub-
lican state candidates. The defeat of

styne seems assured, and the election
of the other republican state officials
seems to be equally in doubt

er must come to the Harlem river
with plurality of TAI, 446-the plural
fly of his opponent, William s. Jack
son, in this city. Returns received
on the vote for encouragement indi
Gated that Mr.. Mayer was running con
siderably behind Hughes and Bruce
and that he will be defeated by prob
ably 5000 votes.
State Engineer and Surveyor Var
Alstyne must do even better than Mr.
Mayer If he Is to win out. His Oppo
nent, Frederick Skene, one of Joe
Cassidy's men in Queens, rolled III
the remarkable plurality of l44, 1888 il
Greater New York. He also polled
remarkably big vote on Long Island
His election was practically conceded
by State Chairman Woodruff.
Returns from the upstate vote ar,
remarkably incomplete. The full vott
for governor only has been received
and only few counties have sent il
the full vote for the other officers OF
the state ticket, excepting lieutenant
governor.
The democrats confidently claim tn
the election of the entire state tickle
except Hearst. They declare the OF
fetal canvass of the state boar,
might be necessary to determine tn
result
Control of the office of state eng
neer and surveyor would give tn
democrats charge of the spending @
$l5l,OOO,OOO appropriated for the CT
nal improvement, and of a big slice q
the S5O,OO0,O0O to be appropriated 70
good roads. The spending of the la
ter amount will begin the first Of tn
year, and after the work is once star
ed II is in The hands of the state eI
gineer and surveyor.
In the attorney generals office
half dozen good places will be mad
Tor democratic lawyers. The powe
of this office is great, and an attorne
general so disposed can make muc
trouble for the trusts.
Hearst Vote a Surprise.
The opposition to Hearst by DEM
Gratis in this city, resulting in a d.
ference Of over 10000 votes betwee
him and his running mates, was th
surprise of the election. The cuttin
was general in all the boroughs. ]
Manhattan. Hearst was cut almost Z
freely as in Brooklyn.
Among the various boards of whiC
the election Of the state Officers woul
give the democrats control are the c
nal board, commission of the cam
fund, board of state canvassers, an
state board of equalization.
