NEW YORK , Nov. 9. ( t:30 a. m. ) Theo
dore Hoonevclt , republican , late colonel of
the First United States volunteer cavalry ,
has been elected governor of this state by
a plurality anywhere from 1S.OOO to 2fOOO. (
All Colonel Roosevelt's ncsoclatcB on the
republican Plato ticket are probably elected
with him. The returns , both from Greater
N < 4w York and from the couhtlcs , outsldo ot
this municipality are Incomplete , but enough
htvo been received tu Indicate a heavy fall
ing off In the vote up the state , while that
In' ' the city wua well sustained. The consequence
quence IB a falling off In the republican
plurality In the state from 212,000 to the
approximated figures given above. Outsldo
of Greater Now York the vote for Von Wyck
is only about onc-flfth of 1 per cent above
that of Porter In I89B. There appears to bo
A loss of four republican congressmen In the
Brooklyn districts , the Second. Fourth ,
Fifth and Blxth ; nnd Congressman Qulgg ,
who.had a majority of about 9,000 nt the
clect'lon last year , has been defeated by Wil
liam Aster Chanter. In the Albany district ,
the Twentieth , Olyrjn , democrat , has been
elected to succeed South wick , republican.
In addition to the foregoing there arc ,
seemingly democratic gains in the Eighth
nd Thirteenth districts , both .in this Hy ,
Daniel J. Rlordnn being elected In the one
f
unJ Jeffcrpon M. 1/ovy In the other. This
makes a total democratic gain of seven
congressmen.
1 a. m. Revised figures on congressman
show that Representative Bennett , republi
can , Is re-elected In the Fifth district ,
"Brooklyn , and that Representative Dlggs ,
democrat , la defeated by Prendergast. The
vote In the Thirty-second district ( Buffalo )
4s very close with the probability of the
election of Ryan , democrat. In the place ot
Mabany , republican. A democrat. Llvlng-
aton. Is reported.elected In the Nineteenth
district , at present represented by Cochranj
republican. In the Sixteenth congressional
district John Q. Underbill , democrat , won
ejected , succeeding W. L. Word , fgpubllcan.
UAUlt .o'.cjpsjc .tho Indications worn that
TMOtJoro Itoosovelff fSo republican nolntnec ,
hid cairteS , , the sul6 by a plurality over
AOsUBtuo Vim Wyckvof about 20,000. The
total republican voto'will probably show a
tailing off ns compared with that for Gov
ernor Black In 1$98 of1 about It per cent.
In the municipality of Now York the old-
time democratic majority was approximated ,
Van Wyck's vote being about 80,000 greater
than that of the republican candidate. This
latter result was helped In some measure by
the result In the borough of Brooklyn-
Kings county which in 1896 gave Black , re
publican , a plurality bf 23,682 , but today
gave a democratic plMrality of about 10,830.
Brooklyn IB the. homo of Judge Van Wyck ,
but thlff fact docs not wholly explain the
practical reversal of pluralities , which , It Is
possible , Is attributable to lukewarmncss of
the friends ot Jacob Worth , who was deposed -
posed from 'the chairmanship of the county
committee ae a consequence of his opposition
to tbo plans ot Senator Platt In the .mayor
alty contest last year.
nopulillcnn Plurality of 1OO.OOO.
The returns from many counties up the
Btnte , are incomplete and In some cases art-
missing altogether. The Indications from
computations upon the figures at hand point
to a republican plurality In the counties
above the Harlem of about 100,000 , to offset
which the democrats can prob'ably only get
80,000 plurality of Greater New York.
The soldier vote will not be counted until
Dccember-l , but It la not likely that tbo bal
lots from the camps will materially alter the
f results , Thcro seems to bo the greater
probability that Roosevelt will bo Increased.
The figures on congressmen arc not ac
cessible at this hour , but there arc Indica
tions that the democrats have made some
gains In Now York city districts. The ma
jority of Congressman Qulgg In the Eleventh
district is reduced by William Astor Chan-
Icr , but he Is probably returned. Congress
man Suiter , democrat , is undoubtedly re-
elected.
Uttlo Is known as to t ° o votes for state
senators and assembly , The republicans hai
in tie } last legislature a majority of,38 on
joint ballot , and leaders of the party pro
fess confidence that there will be no material
diminution of that majority.
A republican legislature will mean the
election of a republican United States sena
tor in place of Senator iMurpby. Kvery con
dition Is in favor of the polling of a ful
vote In all parts of the state. In this city
tliero was no fulfillment of the predictions
of trouble at the polls. The state deputies
authorized by act of the last legislature
were roost In evidence In the Bast Side dis
tricts , where tbo cheap lodging houses ore
located. The number of arrests made were
below rather than beyond the usual recon
of a general election , 'rights at the polls
were few and easily quelled.

On the streets downtown there were the

city election.
At 10 o'clock tonight Chairman Odell o
the republican state committee said :
"Wo still claim the state by between ZJ.
000 and 40.000 plurality for Roosevelt. Th
country districts came up uobly , The dem

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 8. Because of the
argc ticket and extenulve cutting by In
dependent voters , the returns from Phila
delphia and Pennsylvania are slower than
usual. Enough Is known , however , to In-
llcate that William A. Stone , republican ,
a elected governor by a largo plurality.
The vote of Dr. Swallow In ( ho state will
probably be under that of last year , when
10 received 118,9CI ! for state treasurer.
Philadelphia Is the' Swallow stronghold ,
lowever , and a large vote here may Increase
Ills total beyond last year's figures. The
vote on the legislative ticket In counties
where the republican opponents of Senator
Quay have fused with the democrats is very
close.

CHICAGO , Nov. S. At 10 o'clock the In
dications were that the republicans had
elected their entire state ticket , but the
figures were coming In slowly from outside
Chicago and nothing could bo estimated
with accuracy. The democrats In many
counties have shown gains over the vote ot
1896 and they have apparently secured seVeral -
eral congressmen In Cook county and some
outside of it.
Two hundred and eighty precincts outside

hat the state Is republican by over 50,000
majority. At this hour 1,220 out of 2,120
reclncts in the state have b : < * n heard from ,
giving Dobeon a vote of 10,618 and Porter

hree-fourths of a vote to the precinct. If
his ratio Id maintained the state will be

gent , democrat , 51,396. The majorities of
candidates'of the state tickets will average
fully 15.000.
The republican candidates appear to have
suffered most from the general decrease ,
in the vote , but no particular disaffection can
be said to be shown by the general result.
The only real contest was In the Second dis
trict , where Congressman Sperry , the re
publican nominee , and James H. Webbr dem
ocrat , were the opposing candidates. Sperry's
majority will be 3,325. Returns Indicate that
the republicans will have a majority ot at

DAVE MERCER GOES BACK TO CONGRESS
Omnhn Auriiln niiilnrncH III * Oooil
llrooril Much Scratching Done
on the LenrlMntMc nnil
County Tlcketn.
Douglas county has gene republican , with
strong majorities on most of the ticket. Al
though the fuslonlsts concentrated their
greatest efforts In Omaha and South Omaha ,
Judge Hqywnrd will carry with him a safe
majority , which from returns at hand will
approximate closely 1,500. The rest of the
candidates on tbo stata ticket arc well up to i
Hayward's figures , although some of them I
may fall behind compared with their op
ponents.
For congress Douglas county has again
endorsed Hon. David H. Mercer. Mr. Mcr-
cer'o majority In this county will be slightly
reduced from what It was two years ago , but
this will bo more than offset ( n all pioba-
blllty by the Bains ho has made In Waohlng-
ton and Sarpy counties. Mr. Mercer will
represent the Omaha district In the next
congress.
On the legislative nnd county tickets them
has been' great deal of scratching , and the
delegation to Lincoln from Douglas county
will bo a mlxccP delegation , so far as po-
lltlcal affiliations arc concerned. In some
wards from two-thirds to three-fourths of
the ballots wore icratched on legislative
candidates. Walker and Koutsky- naturally
got the worst o ( this onslaught , the chlut
benefit accruing to Flynn and Sturgoss , who
had been recommended to the voters by' The
Uee. While the final figures will be neces
sary to determine just who H elected outsldo
of these two , It Is possible that nqverol
others on the fusion ticket may have crawled
through.
The scratching , on the legislative ticket
was almost equaled by the scratching on the
county ticket , -where.both Winter for county
attorney and Kleretead and Kelsey for
county commissioners have fallen behind
their colleagues on the republican ticket.
Hector , democrat , In the Fourth commis
sioner district , Is elected over Kclsey , while
tbo result .between Klcrstead and Connolly
favors Kleretead by a close margin. The
outlook is also for A close , vote between. . ,
-
for county attorney , with the prospect favor
ing Winter. ,
In- almost nil the wards , .except the First
and Second , the republican assessors have
been elected.
