. New Your, Nov. 7.—-'l‘he elections
have mulled in a great Republican sweep.
In New York Mr. Morton is elected gov-
ernor by more than 100,000 plurality.
The Republicans have a large majority
in the assembly, and as the senate is al-
ready Republican they will have a good
working majority on joint ballot.

The Republicans in this state have also

gation, not more than five or six Demo-
crats at most having been elected.

In the city oi New York Senator Hill
has the astonishingly small plurality of
2,549. while in Kings county Mr. Morton
has reversed the plurality of 16,000 given
to Mr. Flower and has put that plurality
to his own credit, making a Republican
gain of 82,000. The entire local ticket is
elected in Kings.

The entire anti-Tammany ticket, with
Mr. Strong at its head. is elected by ma
jorities ranging from 00,000 to 50,000.
those for Mr. Strong and Mr. Golf reach-
ing toward the higher figure.

The new house of representatives will
contain a Republican majority. Some of
the old members defeated are Mr. Wilson.
the author of the now celebrated Wilson
bill. and Mr. Springer of Illinois.

Chairman Wilson goes down with an
adverse plurality estimated by Republic-
ans at not less than 1,000. He lost in all
the counties. and it is said that the agri-
cultural districts will swell the adverse
vote.

In Colonel Brecklnridge's congressional
district in Kentucky, ()wcns, the man
who beat Breckinridge after a sensational
campaign. is said to have been beaten by
from 1,000 to 2.000. lireckinridgo treach-
ery is said to have caused it.

Wisconsin also return to the Republican
fold. The 'l‘illmanitos swept everything
before them in South Carolina. 'l‘illman
will go to the I'nited States senate. and
the congress delegation will be solidly
Democratic. .

Iowa Republicans elcoted the entire
state ticket by 50,000 plurality. with the
exception of two judges of the supreme
court. The Democrats saved one of the
11 congressmen.

Blood to the Bridles Waite, the Pops:
list governor of Colorado, who was a can-
didate for reelection. was buried under
a Republican plurality of 20.000. The
vote was heavy. and the women took a
large and active part.

MORTON ELECTED.

New York State Republicans Also (let the
State Legislature.

ALBANY, i'ov. 7.—-—The story of a polit-
ical cyclone following a landslide of a
year ago marks this election in New York
state. The most sanguine political ob
server had failed to find in the past elec-
tion indications of anything that would
allow a precast of such a result as com—
pletes the battle of the ballot in this state.

)ven those who believed in the success of
the ticket that places victory at its top
today were but sanguine of the usual
result of depreciated majorities below the
Harlem for the dominant party there
and increased majorities above that riv-
er’s banks for the party of the majority
in that section. and the most sanguine
of these people expected that the Denm-
cratie party. with Senator Hill at its
head. would show recuperation from the
vote given for. Maynard in i003.

In place of all anticipated results comes
a sweep of such proportions and from
such quarters that even those who profit
by it are amazed. From a plurality rang
ing from 05,000 to 120.000 in the district
below the ilarlem for the Democratic pnr
ty the Republican party turns it into :30,
000 plurality for themselves. in all the
estimates given on the eve of election it
was ounceded that the Democratic plur
ral'lty below the llariem would be at least
35,000.

And the surprises are not confined to
this tremendous change of votes. An
analysis shows that Senator lliil will run
far behind even the memorable and or
cocdingiy rctrugrading vote of Judge May-
nard. while in the state he hung closely
to the pace set by liovernor bloom in
1501. An analysis of such figures as are
obtainable this morning shows that the
Republican party alone gained by the
increased registration, for Mr. Morton's
vote in all of the up country districts
shows large gainsuver the hassle” vote of
Hill. while the Dmnocratic vote is not
cut in any great measure from its biibor
to normal condition. In the cities thb
some increase in registration appears ti
have been detrimental to the Democrats.
for in a great many cases in strong lieu:
ocratlc qliartors there Wore many votes.

Hill's invn County Against Illm.

The vote in Albany county was one of
the many surprises of the election. For
years Albany county on state or national
issues has been looked upon as a reliable
Democratic stronghold. good for iron;
1,000 to 2,000 Democratic majority. The
Democratic managers. in view of this
fact and that it is also the home of Sona-
tor Iiill, looked for a majority of not less
than 2,600. The result in the county was
hailed by the Republicans with the wild
est expressions of delight. while the ile-
moorats were frank in their expressions
of disappointment and disgust.

It is claimed by (icvornor Flower and
Clerk De Frecst of the state committee
that by reason of the large registration
and the number of bullets to be voted Ml,‘
000 Democratic Voters were unable to cast
their ballots.

That the depression caused by tarlil or
national matters had little to do with the
general result was evident from the fuel
that in manufacturing districts there was
no very large doiiucticn from the general
run of voting. lint there were individ‘
uni coalition where the vote was pcrpicx
ing by the way in which it deflected. Al
bony county led these. A Democratic
stronghold, with few manufacturing in
torests. it had hold true to its principles.
and in wavering times, such. for instance.
as last year, gave normal Democratic ma
jorities of from Lulu) to 0.000. Despite
the fact that it is the home county of the
Democratic candidate, it gives Mr. Mor-
ten a plurality.

in Monroe. with its Republican city of
Rochester. the natural Republican plu-
rality was almost doubled, late figures
giving Morton 0,000. while in low the
same county only gave to h‘nssctt 0,800.
chssolaer county, the home of Senator
Murphy. stock as closely to Democratic
principles as any in the state. which was
rather surprising in view of the sentiment
that had been appealed to by the death of
Robert Ross. The county only full all
about 800. while its neighbor, Albany
county, lost at least 0,000.

Onondaga had been expected to throw
a great many votes to the Denim-mile
party because of disappointment in the
ranks of the Republican party. but while
the veto of the Republicans showed a fall-
ing all there was no appreciable gain for
the Democrats by the deflection. ltrle
county repeated its performance at last
year by giving Republican majorities,
and this leads to the finding of the fur-
ther fact from the face of the returns that
in no instance were there these signs oi
recuperation that had been promised by
the Democratic party leaders for their

ed up over 9.000 on its ,
veroi Mr. Morton. Watch-em tells into
line with a big majority tor Ir. diaries.
and hllsgsra county trebles its Russett
plurality.

Amendments Probably Carried-

The results of the sweeping victory are
more farresching than simply the election
of the Republican state ticket. While
the returns are very incomplete on the
constitutional amendments. it is highly
probable at this writing that all of them
are adopted. The percentage of loss as
compared with the vote for the head of the
ticket is not nearly so large as It was
supposed to be. and the result, therefore.
is that the legislature will consist of 60
senators and 100 assemblymen: that pool
selling on races will be prohibited; that
the canals will be improved‘ and that s
new judiciary system will be inaugurated.
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
chair in political harmony with them.

In addition to all these decided gains
the state congressional delegation, being
changed materially. acts in a pivotal
sense. and it may be said that with the
election of a majority of Republican con-
gressmen New York state throws control
of the national legislature into Republic
an hands.

Senator Hill for the present positively
declines to give his views on the result,
saying that he wuuld talk later when he
had had time to look over the llgures.

“A 'l'ldai Wave," Says Flower.

Goveriior Flower gave out the follow-
ing statement: "The election shows that
a tidal wave of Republicanism has swept
the country from Maine to California
Our party was dilatory in repealing the
silver bill and tariff law. Business has
been disorganircd, and when the tariff
bill was passed no one seemed willing to
father it or call the question settled. The
result shows that business men have voted
the Republican ticket in order to give
their interests a rest.

“The result in New York city and
Brooklyn shows that the people want a
purer and better government for those
cities. The result shows that Senator
Hill‘s vote and Mr. Wheeler's combined
gould lack over 100,000 of carrying the

ate."

thus conclusively proving i the police
were making no attempt to uphold the
law. The light was waged with great
bitterness.

At the last session of the legislature the
matter was laid before the senate. with
the result that a committee was appoint-
ed to exsinlne into the various New York
city departments. .

John W. (loll, who has been elected re-
corder on the independent ticket. was so
looted as counsel to the committee. The
result of his is.
bore was the pre-
sentation of evi-
dence which. in
the popular mind
and in the ex-
pressed view of

newspapers, im»

The campaign
culminated in-the
creation of a committee of 70 citizens,
and under its leadership a concentrated
political movement was directed against
Tammany Hall, in which the Good Gov-
ernment clubs, the Uennan Reform asso-
ciation and the local Republican organi-
zations joined in iadorsing a nonpartisan
ticket headed by William 14. Strong for
mayor and John w. Gail for recorder.

A feature of the canvass on the east
side was the part women played in it.
Women of the highest social standing
formed themselves into an oraguization
to aid in the war against Tammany. and
they carried the war down into the slums.
They ware treated respectfully, and their
arguments and appeals were listened to
oourtcously. There seems to be no doubt
that their action tondod in a measure to
bring about the result of yesterday’s city
election.

So complete is the downfall of the great
political organization that its nominees
for congress are involved in the catastro-
phe. With the exception of one of its
congressional candidates the Tammany
congressional candidates have been de-
feated. Mr. Strong‘s plurality for mayor
exceeds 40,000.

Tusx'rox. Nov. 7.-—'rhe election in
New Jersey was a complete overthrew to
the Democrats So far the Republicans
have gained control of five of the slxscna
torial districts which were voted in this
year. The sixth is still in doubt. In
case Burlington county is carried by the
Republicans the Democrats will be with
out representation in the upper house.
In the assembly the Republicans have
elected «iii out of a possible 60. Three
seats are still in doubt. The diflerenoe
between the three candidates in Men
mouth county is so slight that only a
complete count will decide it At the
most the Democrats will not have more
than 15 out of the 00 assemblymcn.

In the congressional contest the Repub-
licans appear to have carried every dis-
trict. with the exception of the Seventh.
Colonel Edward Stephens will be the
only Democrat elected. This is a gain
of five congressmen in the state.

The New Jersey legislature will be lie
publican and have a working nmjority of

thocleciion of a Republican to succeed
John R. Mel’hcrsun. It is not known
who will be chosen, but Franklin Mur-
