NEW YORK , Nov. 6. The republicans
have carried New York state by estimated
pluralities ranging from 130,000 to 160,000.
These figures represent the probable plurality
ot Levl I' . Morton , republican for governor ,
over David I ) . Hill , democrat , based upon the
vote of New York City and Brooklyn , com
plctc , and returns from more than one-half
of tlio election district * above the Harlem
river. The total vote for the two leading
candidates Is considerably In excess of that
polled , for Flower and Fiuset for governor In
1S91. In addition Is the vote cast this year
for "Wheeler ( Ind.-Dem. ) , which will exceed
20,000 , The tremendous republican sweep In
the city anil state. It U estimated , has elected
twenty-seven republican congressmen , n 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 itato that depreciated
majorities below tha Harlem river for the
party there would bo offset by Increased ma
jorities above the river's bank for the democ
racy , The most sangulno expected that the
democratic party , with Senator 11111 at Its
head , would show recuperation from the vote
given tor Maynard In 1603. 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 estimates
on the CVQ of the election It was contended
that tha democratic plurality below Harlem
would be at least 35,00. The surprises are
not confined to the change of vote , but an
analysis .shov.'s Senator II1I1 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 ot such figures
as ; are obtainable tonight shows that the
republican party alone gained by the In
creased registration , for Mr. Morton's vote
In all the upper country districts shows largo
gains over the Fasset .gain of 1891. In the
cities the same Increase In registration ap
pears to have been detrimental to the demo
crats.
The vote In'Albany county was one of the
mrny surprises of the election , 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-
jcrily. The democratic managers , In view of
Ihisfoct and that It Is also the home of Senatir
Hill. looked for a majority ot not less than
2,700. They foil confident that Senator Hill
would bo given as handsome a vote , as Judge
Kaynaril carried the county by a. normal
democratic majority , notwithstanding the re
publican trend In other portions ot the state.
In Monroe , with Its republican city of Roches
ter , the national republican plurality was
almost doubled , late figures giving Morton
0,000 , where In 1891 the same county gave
to Fasset 3SCO. Rcnssalacr county , the home
of Senator Murphy , held as closely to the
democratic normal vote as any county In
the state. The results ot 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-
coidlnc to the first returns , that all of then
are adopted. The
percentage of loss as com-
tliarcd with the vote for the head of the
ticket Is not nearly so largo as It was sup
posed to be , and the result , there
fore , la that the legislature will consls
ot fifty senators ami 150 assemblymen ; tha.
pool selling on races will bo1 prohibited , and
that a new Judiciary system will be Inaugu
rated. The sweep also means that for the
first tlmo In many years the republicans
will have control of the state legislature
and at the same time have a governor In th
chair In political harmony with them ,
The scene , on Newspaper Row at 8:30 : to
night when It was conceded by the democrat !
that Morton had won the governorship am
Strong the mayoralty was one ot wild en
thuslasm. When the > newspaper bulletins am
Btcroptlcons began to display the return. ,
obout 6 o'clock thcro were about 2,000 per
sons on Park row , but during the following
two hours tho. crowd was augmented by a.
continuous stream ot people from the. uptown
districts , By 8 o'clock fully S.OOO thronged
the thoroughfare , blocking the street and Im
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
was very orderly and seemed to bo of a
more respectable class than usual. Tammany
men who were down town had no- excuse to
offer for their overwhelming defeat , and one
ot the lenders Id "This
an : will lead to a
thorough reorganisation of the democratic
party In this city , and It will bring about
good results two years from now. "

QUANT CONGRATIILATKS STRONG.
NC\V YORK. Nov. 0. Mr. Grant at 8:15
entered the roam at police headquarters
where Mr. Strong was receiving returns and
congratulated him. oti his acknowledged vic
tory , Mr. Strong- thanked him.
1'rcsldent Martina of the- police board says
Tammany has abandoned all hope of carry
ing u single oiuce.
At 3 o'clock tonight Mayor Gllroy said :
"The- returns are more eloquent than any
thing I can cay. " When lie was told ot
the probable defeat of Wilson In Weal Vir
ginia bo said : "That Is good. "
En-Mayor Grant Issued the following state
ment' ' "Wo concede the loss of the * elate
And acknowledge defeat In thecity. . "
Dr. ParUhurit said tonight : "We have

have their eyes opened at last. It Is evident
the public conscience has. at last been awak

reform movement has been fighting just

Ex-Mayor Grant tonight admitted his de
feat. Ha ealJt "On the retirement of Mr.
Straus , I thought It my duly to the demo
cratic party to accept Us nomination erin

DemooraU n v r wroik well tojethei

be laid aside and the democratic vote ot this
city will be preserved as the corner stoneof
democracy for the presidential contest of
1896. "
QUIKT DAY IK BROOKLYN.
Brooklyn's election 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 gsl their
ballots Into the box than ever belot'e ' , The
conplltutlon.il amendments caused Intolera
ble delays In almost every election district
In the city. The voters were In the polls
waiting for them to open up , and when the
polls closed there v-ore still many cllliens
In line who aid not have an opportunity to-
cast their ballots. There was little for the
police to lo , and few arrests for Illegal voting
ing weremade. - . The Gravescnd election of
last year evidently had a most wholesome
effect. The vote was as full aa passible
under the circumstances. Tasters were not
generally used. The Umpire slate demo
cracy's ballots ; caused much confusion. The
police arrangements were satisfactory In the
main.
The Advertiser will tomorrow say : The
battle Is over. The enemy Is routed. Repub-
llcanslm has triumphed. Protection will still
protect , and Tammany Is overthrown. The
victory means the great American people
have b en aroused and have tliown them
selves worthy of their glorious heritage. It
means the death , beyond all possibility or
resuscitation , of that party which for forty
years tins not had power without showing
an Increased capacity for blundering and In-
competency. 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 , orOcr , good government and all
that makes the glory of the nation , The
democratic party Is Indeed dead. Praise God ,
from whom all blessings flow.
Two thousand , one hundred and sixty-two
districts outside ot New York nnd Brooklyn
give Morton 209,567 ; Hill , 212.574. The Indi
cations now nre that Morton's plurality In
the state will be over 1BO.OOO.
Iluffalo City , complete , gives Hill , 22,443 ;
Morton , 30,125 ; Wheeler , 6,811.
Total vote on ma > or : Strong , 152,091 ;

TAMMANY THROWN DOWN.
Tammany Is defeated. The- nominal ma
jority of 60,000 usuaKy polled by that organi
zation in New York City has been obliter
ated , nntl an opposition , nonpartlsan major
ity of 40,000 , to 15,000 lias been piled up ,
lurking the net opposition gnln more than
100,000. Never blnce 1871 , the year In which
the revelations concerning the operations of
the Tweed gang were made , has there been
such nn opposition nrrnyod agilnst Tammany ,
and the returns tonight show that a severe
blow has been struck at the foundation of
the most powerful local political organiza
tion In the country.
Now York City complete- Hill , 127.700 :
Morton. 123,299 ; Hill's plurality , 4,401. -
Mayor Grant , democratic , 111,257 ; Strong ,
republican , 162,691 ; Strong's plurality , 41,434.
John W. Goff , independent , has been elected
recorder over Frederick M. Smythe , Tam
many , by a plurality ot 54,841.
The entire republican city and county
ticket of Brooklyn la elected ,
S a. m. 2,933 out of 3.359 election districts
oiitsiclo-of New York nnd Kings give Hill
230.338 Morton , 334,585 ; Wheeler , 4.032.
The World will say editorially : The result
In New York and throughout the country was
never more In tlio hands of the people- than
It Is la America now. That was the moral
of the overwhelming1 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 bo a far
better party becauseof the action of the
democrats , \\ho. In behalf of party princi
ple , arrayed themselves against party bosses
who had betrayed or abandoned principles.
Every democrat can feel g-atlfted that , re
gardless ot temporary considerations of
party , the people- , animated by the democratic
Instinct , have shown themselves the govern
ing power In the country ; that they have
made It once more apparent how much
greater they are thai ) any great man or
any number of great men , than any autocrat ,
any senate , any machine. The people are In
power , and they 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
rescueof New York from democratic Tam
many rule. Yesterday New York was
shackled In fetters of shame that held her
In degrading subjection In the criminal 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.
HILL HEARS ENOUGH EARLY.
ALBANY , 'Nov. 6. A notable gathering of
politicians sat in the executive chamber to
night and read the returns furnished by the
Associated 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 sav
ing the state was given up by those who had
thus far arrived. It was even feared New
York City mlfiht go republican , and U 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 gavi
up all hope of saving the state with the aid
of New York City. He said It seemed as
It a great tlilal wave had struck the metropo
11s. Ho said he felt that the wave was coming
ing- when he was In New York thl& morning.
He hail hopes that the up-the-state districts
'would fall to Senator Hill. All the time
Senator IIlll salil not a word , but read the
bulletins and consulted n manual containing
the votes of former years. As the county
returns came In from the state , the senate :
shook his head and said : "Well , they did
pretty well by me. "
To the- consoling remarks of his friends h
made no reply , except to smile.

FAULKNER GIVES IT UP.
WASHINTON , Nov. 6. Senator Faulkner ,
hnlrman ot the democratic congressional
ommlttee , made the following statement nt
midnight : "Indications seem to point to a
republican victory In the concessional con
test. However , the Information I have re
ceived does not Justify me In giving up the
irganlzatlon of the house by the democrats ,
nor does my Information justify me In giving
up the election ot Mr. Wilson. I have men
at every doubtful point who will telegraph me
as soon as the returns are made. I * hava
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 ot the
rirst district admits the election of Dovenor ,
republican , by 1,500 to 1,700. That district
has undergone the most remarkable change
ver known In the politics of the country ,
due to a great extent to the A. P. A. , and
partly to the manufacturing Interests. It Is
upposed that Cummlngs Is defeated by four-
een votes In New York City , but that Is not
sure. I understand our friends In Michigan
admit that the republicans have carried the
state and all but two members- congress.
Tarsncy's election In Missouri seems to be
n doubt. The A. P. A. has been active
against him. In the south I know of no
esses , but several gains , Including the seat
now held by Murray ( colored ) , republican , of
South Carolina. There seems to bo no possi
bility of a loss ot more than one district of
Virginia. If. the reports of the -Associated
press are true. It will be Impossible for the
democrats to organize the house. Tfie repub-
Mcans are claiming everything , but I pay very
Ittlc 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
"ncreased 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-
nan Faulkner at Congressional headquarter *
tonight were the following : H. N. Stewart
wired from Kalamazoo , Mich. , that all In
dications are that he will bo defeated by u
reduced majority by Burrows , present re
publican. Thomas E , Parkc , from Ease
Downlngton , 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 is safe for
5,000 majority , Representative James Ma-
Kulre , 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 McKce of the re
publican congressional committee gave out
the following estimate of republican congress
men elected as far as heard from : Alabama !

Returns received up to C o'clock this niorn-

oads , covering very nearly one-thlrd of the
itate , will bo found In the- following compar
ative abstract. This- Includes a computation
if eighty election precincts In Dduglas county
lut of a total of ninety-eight. The compari-
; on ts made on the vote for governor In 1S92 ,
These figures , however , would be misleading
unless It Is borne In mind that the railroad
owns , from which the reports have-come In
first , malta a moro favorable showing to
Uajors than will HID rural precincts that
opresent the farm vote.
The returns from Douglas .county , although
ncompleto , show that Holcomb will gain very
early 8,000 votes In this county over the vote
10 received as candidate for supreme judge in
8D3 , nnd fully 7,000 more than were received
iy Van AVyck two years ago.
At the present time the'i footings show a
plurality for Majors of about , j 4,500 outside
t Douglas and Lancaster counties , but the
nest conservative estimates that can be made
ml lento that Holcomb will overtake Majors
and lead him fully 5,000 by the time the re-
urns are all In.
In Lancaster county-where 3,000 majority
was predicted for Majors , his plurality will
bo considerably below 2,000. The ; only place
where Majors has made great gains Is In
he western portion of the state , along' the
Colorado division or the B , & Mwhere It Is
nnnlfest a great deal o'f padding was done by
he railroad contingent from Wyoming and
Colorado.
While the returns on ther balance ot the
state ticket are very Incomplete It Is be-
levcd that the republicans iaje elected every
state officer outside of tho. head'of the ticket.
The returns from the congressional districts
ndlcato the sure election by : the > republicans
of five out ot the six congressmen , and even
Kcm may be defeated by Eaucberty In the
Sixth.
The legislature , although the retuVns are
very Incomplete , will undoubtedly be republi

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 light made at the polls today In behalf
of Majors , In this , his principal stronghold
In the state. There- arc several precincts
yet to hear from , but they are not likely to
materially change this estimate , The Majors
republicans made the political struggleof
their lives , and not an effort was spared
from llio opening of the polls until the close
Notwithstanding the strong bluff made by
the democrats and Independents this morn
ing agaliiBt the largo 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 ot 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 ls thought that the
county will poll a vote well up toward 11,000.
Keturns 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 sending1 In a scintilla of In

shovyn by all parties , nnd a full vote was
polled. Majors and Holcomb will run about
even. The rest of the republican ticket will

will carry by a small majority , and the legis

for senator Thirtieth district , Kcm for con
gressman and Price for representative Forty-
ninth district. Moore will undoubtedly carry
the county for lieutenant governor , but as

At 3 o'clock this morning election returns
10 far as received for Douglas county Indi
cate that Majors has carried the county by
plurality of from 300 to BOO. The city ot
Omaha has given a plurality to the tattooed
andldatc , but South Omaha and the coun-
ry precincts rallied heroically to the support
if Holcomb and Majors takes the county by
nly a small margin , If at all.
Few figures are In on the vote for congrcs-
lonal candidates , but It Is evident that Mer
er and Uoyd ran a close race for first place.
Sounders and Kmcnt , republican candidates
or the city council In the Fifth and Second
ivards , respectively , were elected.
The Indications are- that the entire republl-
: AH legislative ticket was elected. Haldrlgo
ras undoubtedly elected county attorney , and
Ilgby ; city clerk.
It was probably as quiet on election day as
) maha has over seen. At none of the polling
ilaces was there any sign that the contest
ras an exciting one. The voting went on
teadlly , with n jam nt no place , either In
he course of the day or at the time when
ho polls were about to close.
Carriages did not get out on the streets
ntll rather late In the day and then they
cro not as numerous as usual. Almost the
ntlro registration was voted , and this with-
ut any rush at any time.
The Union Pacific shops were closed all
ay and the freight houses of the several
'oads ' centering at Omaha were shut up at
toon. This was the only Indication that any
peclal facilities had been afforded to a largo
lart of the labor vote.
Much Interest was taken by the women ot
ho city In the election of members of the
ioanl of Education , and the Indications wcro
hat more women voted at this election than
t any prior one.
The fight made on Jack Evans for the
Ity clerkship In a scandalous hand bill
'cdounded ' to his credit and his friends \vcto
more firmly united than ever for his elcc-
lon.
lon.A
A hot fight was made on Mr. Dlctz ,
louncllman candidate In the Sixth ward.
The principal part of the fight came from
ialil ward heelers.
Thcro was a well denned attempt to "ring
n" a lot of bogus votes by swearing them
n at the city clerk's ofllce In the morning ,
but a few determined citizens put a stop to
t by threatening to send every Illegal voter
a the penitentiary and at noon less than
fifty votes had been sworn In.
The laboring'men voted early nnd urged
lielr friends to do the same In the Interest
Of good government.
Mr. Rosewatcr's speech at the Exposition
[ mil Monday ; plght filled workltiRmeiy-wIth
new c4urafiff' anil' they labored as never
before ta got from under the oppressing In
fluence of monopoly.
Two special notaries were kept busy all the
orenoon In the city clerk's ofllco taking the
affidavits of voters who had failed to register.
Most of these consisted of traveling men and
thcrs who only came home long enough to
irote and had no opportunity to register In the
usual manner.
In South 'Omaha the election passed
quietly. In the first plaeo the county
clerk was about an hour late In delivering
he ballot boxes. Then It took the judges
and clerks another half an hour to get ready
or business , and , as a result , there wcro
not 100 votes cast In any one precinct of the
city before noon. The canal question was
not opposed openly In any ward except the
Third. A number of laboring men were
.hero working against It.
The total registration was 2,900 and about
_ ,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 swcar-
ng In votes. There had been twenty-one
applicants up till noon to nwear In their
votes. None of the packing house men
voted before noon ,
The vote for governor by wards and pro-
clncts In Omaha and Douglas county so far
