Bruce's plurality over Chanler. While
slight changes may be made In the re
turns from several counties, IL is not
believed they will materially reduce
CHAMBERS lead, but, on the contrary. In.
crease II.
1t appears that all the other candi-
dates on the Democratic state ticket
are elected by small but safe plurall-
ties.
The pluralities polled by the candi-
dates now reported elected on the
Democratic and Independence league
state tickets In New York city are as
follows:
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, for lieu
tenant governor, 134,943.
William s. Jackson, for attorney gen
eral, al ,448.
Frederick Skene, for state engineer
and surveyor, 144,1ss.
John 8. Whalen, for secretary of
state, 1887.
Martin H. Glynn, for comptroller,
la, 400.
julius Hauser, for state treasurer,
Ia, 1880.
At Republican headquarters Chair
man Woodruff was not prepared to
give out any statement, but ii. was
stated that the official canvass Of the
vote Of the city of Greater New York
may show enough changes In favor of
Bruce to overcome Chambers apparent
lead at this time.
Disconnected Republicans at the va
rious campaign headquarters find little
consolation in the reports from the ru-
raj districts. Indications still are that
the entire Democratic state ticket, with
the exception of William r. Hearst, the
candidate for governor, has been sue
cessful.
Hearst appears to have run from 55,-
900 to 10000 behind the remainder of
the Observation-Disclosures league
ticket.
The election Of the Democratic state
ticket below governor means that the
canal board will be controlled by the
Democratic party.
The canal board Is made up of the
lieutenant governor, who acts as its
presiding officer; the secretary of state,
the state comptroller, the state treas
urer, the attorney general, the state
engineer and the superintendent Of
public works. All save the state en-
ginesr and the superintendent of pub
lie works are also commissioners of the
canal fund, which attends to the finan-
cial affairs connected with the bond is
sues necessary for financing the canal
project.
The superintendent Of public works
Is an appointee Of the governor and
naturally will be Republican.
Control of the canal board in the
next two years will involve the dispo-
siton Of vast amount Of patronage,
political plums Of no mean order The
building of the barge canal will cost,
according to general estimate, some
$9O,000,000. 1t may amount to much
greater sum.
Another plum which will fall to the
Hearst Democratic organization will
come to the state engineer-the annual
