Empire 8tate Emphasizes Tts Verdiot of the Year Before, TAMMANY ROUTED IN NEW YORK CITY Democratic Leaders Conoede Their Defeat Early in the Evening. HILL TAKES HIS DEFEAT Result Was a Surprise for Even the Most Sanguine Republicans, COOLLY MORTON'S MAJORITY PUT AT 150,000 Republicans Elect Twenty-Thres Congress- men, & Galn of Eight—Votoe Was Much Larger Thun that Cast in 1891— Wheeler Recelved 20,000 Votes. NEW YORK, Nov. ~The republicans have earricd New York state by estimated pluralities ranging from 130,000 to 150,000, These figures represent the probable plurality of Levi P. Morton, republican for governor, over David B, Hill, democrat, based upon the vote of New York City and Brooklyn, com- plete, and returns from more than one-half of the election districts above the river, The total vote for the two candidates Is considerably in excess polled for Flower and Fasset for governor in 1891. In addition Is the vote east this year for Wheeler (Ind.-Dem.), which will exceed 20,000. The tremendous republican sweep in the city and state, it is estimated, has elected | twenty-seven republican congre:smen, a gain of twelve over the present representation in congress. It was the expressed belief of those who were conducting the campaign for the democrats ‘In the state that depreciated majorities below the Harlem river for the party there would be offset by Increased ma- Jorities above the river's bank for the democ- Tacy, The most sanguine expected that the democratic party, with Senator Hill at its head, would show recuperation from the vote given for Maynard in 1593. In the place of all anticipated results comes a sweep of such proportions, and from every quarter, beyond the highest claims made by the re- publicans. In all the democratic estimatos on the eve of the election it was contended that the democratic plurality below Harlem would be at least 35,00. The surprises are not confined to the change of vote, but an analysis shows Senator Hill will run behind even the vote of Maynard, while in the state ho fell below the vote cast for Governor Flower in 1891. An analysis of such figures a8 are obtainable tonight shows that the Tepublican party alone gained by the in- creased registraticn, for Mr. Morton’s vote in all the upper country districts shows large gains over the Fasset gain of 1891. In tie citles the same Increase in registration ap- pears to have been detrimental to the demo- crats. The vote In"Albany county was one of the meny surprises of the clection. For years Albany county, in state or national issues, has been looked upon as a reliable strong- hold for from 1,000 to 2,000 democratic ma- Jerity. The democratic managers, In view of this fact and that it is also the home of Senat r Hill, looked for a majority of not less than 2,700, They felt confident that Senator Hill ‘Would be given as handsome a vote, as Judge Maynard carried the county by a normal democratic majority, notwithstanding the re- publican trend in other portions of the state. In Monroe, with its republican city of Roches- ter, the national republican plurality was almost doubled, late figures giving Morton 6,000, where In 1891 the same county gave to Fasset 3,800. Renssalaer county, the home of Senator Murphy, held as closely to the democratic normal vote as any county in the state. The results of the sweeping vic- tory are more far-reaching than simply the election of the republican state ticket, While the returns are very incomplete on the elec- tion amendments, it is highly probable, ac- cording to the first returns, that all of them are adopted. The percentage of loss as com- wpared with the vote for the head of the ticket 15 not nearly so large as it was sup- posed to be, and the result, there- the legislature wlil consist of fifty senators and 150 assemblymen: that pool selling on races will be prohibited, and that a new judiciary system will be inaugu- rated, The sweep also means that for the first time in many years the republicans will have control of the state legislature and at the same time have a governor in the ehalr in political harmony with them, The scene on Newspaper Row at 8:30 to- night when it was conceded by the democrats that Morton had won the governorship and Strong the mayoralty was one of wild en- thusiasm. When the newspaper bulletins and steropticons began to display the returns about 6 o'clock there were about 2,000 per- #ons on Park row, but during the following tWo hours the crowd was augmented by a continuous stream of people from tha uptown districts, By 8 o'clock fully 8,000 thronged the thoroughfare, blocking the street and (me- peding the horse and cable cars. When the concessions by the democrats were an- nounced there seemed to be three republicans to every democrat present. The assemblage Wi very orderly and seemed to be of a more respectable class than usual. Tammany men who were down town had no excuse to offer for their overwhelming defeat, and one of the leaders sald: “This will lead to a thorough reorganization of the democratic party in this city, and it will bring about Bood results two years from now.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Mr. Grant at 8:15 entered the room at police headquarters where Mr. Strong was recelving returns and | congratulated him on his acknowledged vic- tory, Mr. Strong thanked him. President Martine of the police board says Tammany has abandoned all hope of carry- ing a single office. At 8 o'clock tonight Mayor Gilroy said “'The returns are more eloquent than any- thing I can say.” When he w told of the probable defeat of Wilson in West Vir- ginia he said: “That is good." Ex-Mayor Graot issued the following state- ment: “We concede the loss of the state and acknowledge defeat in the city. Dr, Parkhurst said tonight: “We have won. The great viclory shows the people have thelr eyes opened at last. It is evident the public consclence has at last been awak- ened. We've got all these people that the reform movement has been fighting just where they had us. Ex-Mayor Grant tonight admitted his de- feat. He sald: “On the retirement of Mr, Straus, I thought It my duty to the demo- eratic party o accept its nomination for mayor of this city. I made my canvass on | democratic issues, and have gone down with my party. The principles of the party are essential to life of the republic, Vie- tories will be won in the future as they have g T as in the hour of defeat. All differences will | be laid aside and the democratic vote of this ity will be preserved as the corner stone of democracy for the presidential contest of 1896, QUIET DAY IN BROOKL | Brooklyn's electfon day was a quiet one That does not mean that it was not a busy | election There was probably a greater anxiety among voters of the city to gt their ballots into the box than ever before. The | constitutional amendments caused intolera- ble delays in almost every ecleciion district in the city. The voters were in the polls walting for them to open up, and when the polls closed there were still many citizens in line who did not have an opportunity to | cast their ballots, There was little for the police to do, and few arrests for illegal vot- ing were made. The Gravesend election of Jast year evidently had a most \hlm\l’.«omb‘ effect. The vote was as full as possible under the circumstances, Pasters were not generally u: The Empire state demo- cracy's ballots caused much confusion.

Finally, the victory means that from the lakes to the gulf, and from the At- lantic to the Pacific, we should give thanks for the downfall of the democratic party and all it stands for, in the triumph of pro- tection, law, order, good government and all that makes the glory of the nation. The | democratic party Is indeed dead. Praise God, | from whem all blessings flow. | Two thousand, one hundred and sixty-two districts outside of New York and Brooklyn give Morton 309,567; Hill, 212,574.

The World will say editorially: The result in New York and throughout the country was never more In the hands of the people than It is 1o America now. That was the moral of the overwhelming defeats sustained by the Harrison administration, and it is the lesson now, when popular discontent with existing administrations, local, state and na- tional, has shown itself so emphatically. The democratic party of the future will be a far better party because of the action of the democrats, who, in behalf of party princi- ple, arrayed themselves against party bosses who had betrayed or abandoned principles. Every democrat can feel geatified that, re- gardiess of temporary considerations of party, the people, animated by the democratic instinet, have shown themselves the govern- ing power in the country; that they have made it once more apparent how much greater they are than any great man o- any number of great men, than any autocrat, any senate, any machine., The people are in power, and (hey have shown it; that is what it means. The Press will say: The republican party has won the most sweeping triumph since 1872, The elections of yesterday secured to the republicans control of the next house of representatives, and have brought nearer the time when the republicans will again have a majority of the senate. The Atlantic states have given emphatic majorities for republican candidates, and the Empire state is once more in the republican column by a vote that shows that a political revolution has taken place. The most extraordinary and memorable triumph along the line is the rescue of New York from democratic Tam- many rule. Yesterday New York was shackled in fetters of shame that held her in degrading subjection in the eriminal con- spiracy of Tammany hall. Today she stands erect and emancipated, the premier member of the grand republican sisterhood of states, no longer under the confederate symbol of free trade and the black flag of Tammany, but ranks henceforth with those loyal com- monwealths that stand for American indus- trial independence in a phalanx under the stars and stripes. HILI, HEARS ENOUGH EARLY. ALBANY, Nov. 6.—A notable gathering of politiclans sat in the executive chamber to- night and read the returns furnished by the Assoclated press. Senator Hill arrived at 7 p. m. He was the first to arrive. The governor's private secretary came next, Al- ready a batch of bulletins was on Senator Hill's desk. New York county had been sending in returns that were not of a highly favorable nature. At 7:30 all hope of say- ing the state was given up by those who had thus far arrived. It was even feared New York City might go republican, and it was conceded that Hill would not carry it by more than a few thousand votes, Governor Flower arrived at 7:45 p. m. He was shown the dispatches and at once gave up all hope of saving the state with the aid of New York City. He said it seemed as it a great tidal wave had struck the metropo- lis, He said he felt that the wave was com- ing when he was in New York this morning. He had hopes that the up-the-state districts would fall to Senator Hill. Al the time Senator Hill sald not a word, but read the bulletins and eonsulted a manual containing the votes of former years. As the county returns came in from the state, the senator shook his head and sald: “‘Well, they did pretty well by me." To the consoling remarks of his friends he made no reply, except to smile, SOUTH DAKOTA. Republicans Secure Hoth Congressmen and the Legislature. YANKTON, 8.

WASHINTON, Nov. 6.—Senator Faulkner, chairman of the democratic congressional committee, made the following statement at midnight: " “Indications seem to point to a republican victory in the congressional con- test. However, the information I have re- ceived does not justify me in giving up the organization of the house by the democrats, nor does my information justity me In giving up the election of Mr. Wilson. 1 have men at every doubtful point who will telegraph me as soon as the returns are made. I have received no word from any of them and am certain the counts have not been completed, We have won in the Third and Fourth West Virginia districts, but the chairman of the First district admits the election of Davenor, republican, by 1,500 to 1,700. That district has undergone the most remarkable change ever known in the politics of the country, due to o great extent to the A. P. A., and partly to the manufacturing interests. It is supposed that Cummings is defeated by four- teen votes In New York City, but that s not sure. 1 understand our friends in Michigan admit that the republicans have carried the state and all but two members of congress. Tarsney's election in Missouri seems to be n doubt. The A. P. A. has been active gainst him. In the south I know of no losses, but several gairs, including the seat now held by Murray (colored), republican, of South Carolina. There seems to be no possi- bility of a loss of more than one district of Virginia. I the reports of the Associated press are true, it will be impossible for the democrats to organize the house. The repub- licans are claiming everything, but I pay very little attention to their claims. We expect to receive telegrams from every democratic candidate for congress and then will have something definite on which to base an esti- mate.” Senator Faulkner declined to express an opinion of the causes which brought about increased republican majorities. The demo- cratic headquarters were deserted before mid- night by all but the clerks of the committee. Among the dispatches received by Chair- man Faulkner at Congressional headquarters tonight were the following: H. N. Stewart wired from Kalamazoo, Mich., that all in- dications are that he will be defeated by & reduced majority by Burtows, present re- publican. Thomas *B. Parke, from Bast Downington, Pa., thinks he is defeated In the Sixth district. W. W. McFarlane, chair man of the congressional committee from Fort Smith, says that in the Second district the vote was very light. Little s safe for 5,000 majority. Representative James Ma- guire, from San Francisco, says that he Is generally conceded the election. W, A. Lynch, from Huron, S, D., says that both republican congressmen are elected by small pluralities. T. T. Hudson, from Duluth, Minn., that indications point to the election of Baldwin, democrat, by 2,000. At midnight Secretary McKee of the re- publican congressional committee gave out the following estimate of republican congr:ss- men elected as far as heard from: Alabama, 2; California, 6; Colorado, 1; Connecticut, 4; Delaware, 1; Idaho, 1; Indiana, 8; Illinols, 16; lowa, 11; Kansas, 8; Kentucky, Louisiana, 8; Maine, 4; Maryland, 2; Massachusetts, 1 Michigan, 12; Minnesota, 12; Missou; ; Montana, 1; Nebraska, 6; Nevada, 1; New Hampshire, 2; New Jersey, 5; New York, 25; North Carolina, 8; North Dakota, 1; Ohio, 17; Oregon, Pennsylvania, ' 24; Rhode , 4 Island, 2; South Carolina, 1; South Dakota, 2; Tennessee, 3; Vermont, 2; Virginia, 8; Washington, 2; West Virginia, 3, perhaps Wisconsin, 8, and Wyoming, 1. The New York estimate does not include Brooklyn. The total claimed by the republicans is 218, MARTINSBURG, W. Va., Nov. 6.—Wil- son's county, Jefferson, gave him 1,440 m: Jority, which is less than was anticipated. The election in the second district will be close and it will requirs the official count to determine the result. The republicans are Jubilant and claim Wilson's defeat, but the retusns from back counties cannot be gotten for a day or two. The democrats are very uneasy. DAVENPORT, la., Nov. 6.—Hayes, demo- crat, re-elected in Second distriet. PITTSBURG, Nov. 6.—Reports up to 10 p. m. indicate the republicans Have carried the county on the state ticket by 35000 ma- Jority, Meager returns from the Twenty- fourth distMct indicate thc dofeat of Sipe, democrat, the present Incumbent, by Acheson, republican. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Chairman Bab- cock has word from the Ninth North Caro- lina district that Pearson, the republican, is elected by 800 plurality. CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.—Fourteenth dis- triet: W. 8.

In the Seventh, Howard, populist, is pressing Denny, democrat, close and may defeat him. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 6.—Incomplete returns indicate the election of McMille democrat; Richardson, democrat; Washing- ton, democrat; Cox, democrat, r- mon, democrat, to congress. Snodgrass, dem- ocrat, in the Third district, is in danger of defeat, and notbing positive is heard from Enloe in the Eighth district.

At the present time the'footings show a plurality for Majors of about /4,500 outside ot Douglas and Lancaster counties, but the most conservative estimates that can be made Indicate that Holcomb will overtake Majors and lead him fully 5,000 by the time the re- turns are all in, In Lancaster county, where 3,000 majority s predicted for Majors, his plarality will be considerably below 2,000, The: only place where Majors has made great gains is in the western portion of the state, along the Colorado division of the B. & M., where it is manifest a great deal of padding was done by the railroad contingent from Wyoming and The following Precinct and County.

Total LINCOLN—The Indications are at midnight that Majors has carried Lancaster county by 1,900. Strode is undoubtedly elected to con- gress by a good majority. There was a des- perate fight made at the polls today in behalf of Majors, in this, his principal stronghold in the state. There are several precincts yet to hear from, but they are not likely to materially change this estimate, The Majors republicans made the political struggle of their lives, and not an effort was spared from the opening of the polls until the close. Notwithstanding the strong bluff made by the democrats and independents this morn ing against the large number of illegally registered and colonized persons In the city, nothing was done toward their arrest and they were all per- mitted to vote. There was also a large vote polled by certificate of unregistered voters; the vote was a large one and in the city comes well up to the registry of 6,900. The county will give the rest of the republican state ticket a plurality somewhat greater than that of Majors. It is thought that the county will poll a vote well up toward 11,000, Returns were slow in coming in during the evening. While some of the precincts acted upon Mayor Weir's suggestion and counted the vote of the head of the ticket first, others did not, but counted the entire ticket down to constable before sending in a scintilla of in- formation Treasurer O'Shee of the democratic state central committee claims the state for Hol- comb by a plurality of 5,000; six precincts give Strode for congress 1,073, Welr 446, COLUMBUS—City of Columbus, for con- gress: Devine, 86; Hensley, 274; Meiklejohn, 242, Legislature: Murphy, 248; Sprecher, 183, Zentmyer, 172; Dietrich Becker, 179; Gus Beecher, 343; Phelps, §3; Pinny, 338; Spach- man, 236.

IMPERIAL—Republicans elect county at- torney and commissioner. Cole, republican candidate for representative, carries the county. Andrews' majority will be fifty. O'NEILL.—The vote in this county will be about 300 short of the vote of last fall. . C. Sample, republican candidate for state sen- ator, carries O'Neill and Gratton township by elght, running two ahead of the state ticket. ‘the indications are that he will be elected. The returns are coming in slowly, and noth- ing definite can be learned until tomorrow. STANTON-The election passed off quietly in Stanton county, but much enthusiasm was shown by all parties, and a full vote was polled. Majors and Holcomb will run about even. The rest of the republican ticket will carry by about forty majority. Meiklejohn wlll carry by a small majority, and the legis- lative ticket is doubtful. HYANNIS—Grant county goes for Akers for senator Thirtieth district, Kem for con- gressman and Price for representative Forty- ninth district. Moore will undoubtedly carry the county for lieutenant governor, but as only one precinct has been heard from on the state ticket, it is hard to give an estimate on the others on the entire ticket, SCHUYLER—Four precincts: Devine, pop- ulist, 371; Hensley, democrat, 226; Meikle- John, republican, 368, Senator, six precincts, give Murphy, republ.can, 435; Sprecher, pop- ulist, 682; Zentmeyer, democrat, 139.

Jay is elected represent- ative In the Sixteenth district over Fritz, by about 76 majority NEBRASKA " CITY—Fourteen precinets glve Hawley G8; Strode, 1,124; Welr, 883.

At 8 o'clock this morning election returns 80 far as received for Douglas county indl- the county by a plurality of from 300 to 500. The city of Omaha has glven a plurality to the tattooed candidate, but South Omaha and the coun- try precincts rallied heroically to the support of Holcomb and Majors takes the county by only a small margin, if at all. Few figures are in on the vote for congres sional candidates, but it is evident that Mer- cer and Boyd ran a close race for first place. Saunders and Kment, republican candidates for the city council in the Fifth and Second wards, respectively, were elected. The indications are that the entire republi- can legislative ticket was elected. Baldrige was undoubtedly elected county attorney, and Higby city clerk. It was probably as quiet an election day as Omaha has ever seen. At none of the polling places was there any sign that the contest was an exciting one. The voling went on steadily, with & jam at no place, either in the course of the day or at the time when the polls were about to close. Carriages did not get out on the streets until rather late in the day and then they were not as numerous as usual. Almost the entire registration was voted, and this with- out any rush at any time. The Union Pacific shops were closed all day and the freight houses of the several roads centering at Omaha were shut up at noon. This was the only indication that any special facilities had been afforded to a large part of the labor vote. Much interest was taken by the women of the city in the election of members of the Board of Education, and the indications were that more women voted at this election than at any prior one. The fight made on Jack Evans for the city clerkship in a scandalous hand bill redounded to his credit and his friends were more firmly united than ever for his elec- tion. A hot fight was made on Mr. councilman candidate in the Sixth The principal part of the fight paid ward heelers. There was a well defined attempt to “ring in" a lot of bogus votes by swearing them in at the city clerk’s office in the morning, but a few determined citizens put a stop to it by threatening to send every illegal voter to the penitentiary and at noon less than fitty votes had been sworn in. The laboring *men voted early and urged their friends to do the same in the Interest of good government. Mr. Rosewater's speech at the Exposition hall Monday night - filled workingmen..with new edurage, and they labored as never before to get from under the oppreshing in- fluence of monopoly. Two special notaries were kept busy all the forenoon in the city clerk’s office taking the affidavits of voters who had failed to register. Most of these consisted of traveling men and others who only came home long enough to vote and had no opportunity to register in the usual manner. In South Omaha the election passed quietly. In the first place the county clerk was about an hour late in delivering the ballot boxes. Then it took the judges and clerks another half an hour to get ready for business, and, as a result, there were not 100 votes cast in any one precinct of the clty before noon. The canal question was not opposed openly in any ward except the Third. A number of laboring men were there working against it The total registration was 2,900 and about 2,500 votes were cast. A few men were working openly for Majors, but there was no excite- ment whatever about the polling places. City Clerk Maley was busy all day swear- ing in votes. There had been twenty-one applicants up till noon to swear in thelr votes. Nonme of the packing house men voted before noon. The vote for governor by wards and pre- cincts in Omaha and Douglas county so far as returns are in, was: FIRST WARD. Hol- Ma- Sturde- Dietz, ward. came from District. comb. jors, vant.
