ROOSEVELT UPSETS CROKERISM! A GREAT VICTORY ALL OVER It Was an "Of-Year" For, Democrats and Not Republicans in 1898. ALL THE BIG STATES ELECT REPUBLICANS. Congress Is Close, But Chairman Babcock Claims a Working Republican Majority, UNITED STATES SENATE REDEEMED AND SAFE. Will Be a Good Republican Majority There -Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Connecticut, All Republican. For the first time in decades, the party in power in National affairs has not sustained a great defeat in an "off-year." For this reason, if for no other, the election of 1898 is phenomenal.

Republicans were generally successful yesterday in the Nation. There is some doubt as to whether Congress will have a Republican or a Democratic, Fusion, Populist and Silver majority. It will take the reports on all the districts in the country to decide, but now there is every reason to believe Congress will be Republican by a very small majority. Chairman Babcock claims the election of 191 members of the House already, this morning, and says the Republicans will have a working majority in the next Congress. President McKinley will be sustained in his policies.

The results generally show Republican strongholds still strong. New York is Republican. The President's home State, Ohio, is Republican by 60,000. Illinois rolls up 40,000 Massachusetts is in line with an equally big majority. Iowa stands by McKinley with 50,000 to the good.

Little Rhody is Republican and selects two Republican Congressmen. Connecticut is Republican by 000 and four Republican Congressmen. New Jersey is still true to the turning over of 1894 and Pennsylvania, in spite of factional fights, is with the right by 130,000 majority. Indiana has not changed. Popular Pingree wins in Michigan by 40,000.

Maryland goes back a little from the landslide of '96, but that is not remarkable. Wisconsin is true and so is Minnesota. Some of the Western States are still clinging to the silver fetish but not so strong as in 1896. The New England States are all Republican and cannot be moved out of the beaten path of good government. Colorado sticks to Fusion.

Montana is Democratic with a Democratic Legislature. Nevada appears to have turned over and elected a Republican Governor. Idaho is mixed up with silver fusion. "CONGRESS IS SAFE." Chairman Babcock Gives His Figures Showing That a Republican Majority Has Been Elected. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Nov.

mornIng Chairman Babcock made the followIng statement: "An analysis of the conditions in all of the Congressional districts in the country indicated, before election, that 139 of them were surely Republican and 113 surely Democratic or fusion. Returns received up to this hour show that there has been no change in any of these districts from the figures we made before the election. One hundred districta in the country were left in doubt, and those are the ones we Were anxious to hear from. Out of that 100 we have had definite returns from 32. Nineteen went Republican and 13 Democratic.

"This leaves 68 districts in doubt. No very dennite advices have been received from States west of the Missouri river, except Wyoming, which we carried. With the advices now at hand I cannot figure a Republican majority In the next House of Representatives of less than 25 to 30. We have made a gain over the Republican membership in the present House of one in Wyoming, two in South Dakota, two In Nebraska, four in Kansas and two in California, At this hour the indications are that Of "THE NEWS" ELECTION DISPLAY SEEN BY THE GREATEST CROWD EVER! As usual, the people of Buffalo came to the NEWS office last night to' learn the results of the day's voting. Father, mother, theb oys and the girls, all came down to the NEWS to find out who was elected.

Ten years ago and more Buffalo formed the habit of going to the NEWS for election returns, and each year the crowd grows larger. Four years ago the street was packed from Exchange street to Swan. That was the year the city of Buffalo shook off the Democratic shackles, and everybody came down to the NEWS office to get the facts and figures. Then, again, in 1896, even the cheap money crowd joined the great throng in front of the NEWS office and whooped 'er up for McKinley, because there was nobody else to shout for. And last night it was the same.

Maybe it was an off-year, but the crowd came out just the same to hear all about the Rough Rider and how he had carried the State-just as the NEWS predicted he would do. And they whooped It up for Roosevelt until the horns were tired and the throats were hoarse, RAIN DID NOT COUNT. It was an interesting picture. The supper dishes were scarcely cleared away before the street in front of the NEWS office was packed. Before 7 o'clock the rain to come down, but that made no difference.

The crowd grew. This year the NEWS displayed its figures and pictures on the old Bank of Commerce, across the street. which gave the pt people a better chance to The crowd was ready for. the figures before the figures came, but when they, did come, they were satisfactory. Teddy Roosevelt was in the lead, and that was what the people wanted to know.

The rain poured down, there were only a few umbrellas, but the crowd continued to grow until the mounted police found it difficult to keep open the way for the street cars. It was the usual election night crowd. The man who wanted know the result. his wite tho wanted to see the pictures, and the boy with the tin horn were all there, and all were in a shouting mood. The man with his overcoat pocket stuffed full of paper roosters was also there, but for some time he did not know what to do with them.

ROOSEVELT AND M'KINLEY. Then the NEWS threw out the picture of Roosevelt. The voices and the horns cheered it till the very canvas trembled. Then followed the picture of McKiney and another mighty cheer followed. The figures began to come and they told the story Roosevelt's victory.

The crowd was wild. The State was all right, the figures said. The Croker crowd had carried New York City, but the people of the State had elected Roosevelt. As one of the NEWS bulletins put it: "Croker owns New York City, but the people own the State." The picture of Congressman Mahanv was thrown out and the crowd cheered again and again. Ten o'clock, 11 o'clock came, and the crowd was still growing larger.

The street cars crept along. clanging their gongs, the mounted police struggled harder than ever to keep open the canal through the dense masa of humanity. All the time the story that was being told from the NEWS window was growing brighter and more sure. Roosevelt had been elected and the Tammany crowd had been turned down in the State. When the returns did not come fast enough pictures of the war were digplayed.

The landing of the troops at Siboney, street scenes in Santiago, portraits of Gens. Garcia and Gomez were flashed upon the canvas, and when the picture showing the Rough Riders in the trenches was thrown out, the crowd cheered in the most uproarious manner, Midnight came and still the crowd remained. At last the Tammany verdict read: "We give it up, Teddy has carried the State!" That was the last; that was enough. The people bad triumphed lagain. HON.

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW, Who did more toward Republican success than any other manin the State save Roosevelt himself. NEW YORK STATE TRUE TO HER COLORS, IS SAFELY REPUBLICAN. TO THE NEW YORK, Nov. Roosevelt elected Governor of New York yesterday by a majority that may reach 25,000, and Richard Croker and Tammany met with a smashing defeat.

The entire Republican State ticket is elected, and a Republican Legislature, that insures the return of a Republican United States Senator Instead of Edward Murphy, who has misrepresented the State for nearly six years. is broken in New York and the power of Tammany has been given another crushing blow by the votes of the people. The Republicans lose several Congressmen, best known of all, perhaps, in the list being Lemuel Ely Quigg, who was defeated by William Astor Chanler, the African explorer and soldier. New York State's vote is divided about as follows: Manhattan and Bronx, 60,000 for Van COUNTY RESULT DIVIDED. Col.

Theodore Roosevelt. Elected Governor of New York State; the Man who can fight and "run," too. we shall have 198 Republicans in the next House, distributed as follows: "Alabama 1, California 5, Connecticut 4, Delaware 1, Illinois 13, Indiana 9, Iowa 11, Kansas 6, Kentucky 2, Maine 4, Maryland 4, Massachusetts 12, Michigan 12, Minnesota 6, Missouri 3, Nebraska 4, New Hampshire 2, New Jersey 6, New York 22, North Carolina 2, North DaOhio 13, Oregon 2, Pennsylvania kota1, Rhode Island 2, South Dakota 2, Tennessee 2, Texas 2, Vermont 2. Virginia 1, Washington 2, West Virginia 4, Wisconsin 9, Wyoming 1. The greatest possible losses from these figures from that Alawe sustain would be: One bama, 1 from California, 1 from Illinois, 2 from Indiana, 1 from Massachusetts, 1 from Michigan, 1 from Minnesota, 2 from Missouri, 1 from Nebraska, 1 from New Jersey, 1 from New York, 2 from Pennsylvania and 2 from Washington.

This would be 17, and would still leave us 181 sure Republican members, or five majority." At the headquarters of the DemocratCongressional Committee the utmost confidence was expressed that the Democrats had carried the House of. Representatives. Secretary Kerr said: "I am prepared to increase the figures I gave you three hour's ago. We have selected 192 members of the next House. This, to my mind, is beyond doubt.

We have taken nothing for granted, but are figuring on absolute advices. Here is a statement of the members we have elected from various States: "Alabama 9, Arkansas 6, California 3, Colorado 2, Florida 2, Georgia 11, Idaho 1, Illinois 11, Inciana 6, Iowa 1, Kansas 4, Kentucky 10, Louisiana 6, Maryland 2, Massachusetts 3, Michigan 3, Minnesota 1, Mississippi 7, Missouri 14, Montana 1, Nebraska 3, Nevada 1, New Jersey 3, New York 16, North Carolina 8, Ohio 3, Pennsylvania 3, South Carolina 7, South Dakota 2, Tennessee 8, Texas 12, Virginia 10, Utah 1, Washington 2, West 1. Virginia 1, Wisconsin 1 and Wyoming This makes a total of 192 and I am pertectly satisfled that there will be little variation from these GOVERNORS ELECTED. COLORADO Chas. S.

Roosevelt's Running Mate; Elected Lieutenant-Governor of New York State. Chautauqua counties all rolled up creased pluralities over those for Wallace last year. Chemung county hag gone Democratic. The Herald publishes the following statement from Col. Roosevelt, made after his election was assured: "I appreciate the of my election very deeply, and I appreciate even more deeply the responsibility involved in this honor.

I shall do all in my power to redeem every promise I made, expressed or Implied. "I am a good Republican, and I belleve can best serve the Republican party by doing everything to help it serve the State. I shall try to administer the office of Governor in the interest of the whole people. "It is by so doing I can best show my appreciation of the support given me by the Independents and Democrats who have themselves put the welfare of the State first, declining to follow those of their leaders, who In this crisis either ranged themselves outright on the side of the forces of dishonesty or else supported them in effect by standing aside from the real Senator Platt says the Raines law cut the vote down. Justice Van Wyck said: "There is nothing to be No Change This Morning.

Revised returns as they came in early today made practically no change in those of last night, which showed the election of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Republican, for Governor, by a plurality of from 18,000 to 20,000 over Augustus Van Wyck, Democrat. As compared with the election of 1896, when black defeated Porter, this shows a Democratic gain of from 190,000 to 000. Roosevelt came to the Harlem river with 105,000 plurality, and Van Wyek had but 85,000 in Greater New York to meet him. An analysis of the vote outside of the city shows that Roosevelt lost 61,500 as compared with Black.

In the city his vote was 61,000 smaller than Black's. In the country districts Van Wyck ran about 20.000 and in the city about 54,000 ahead of Porter. The State's Congressional delegation will probably stand 16 Republicans to 18 Democrats, a Democratic gain of 13. In old New York City (Manhattan borough) no Republican has been returned, and a notable feature of the election was the defeat by Capt. William Astor Chanler of Lemuel E.

Quigg for Congress in the 14th District, where the former overcame a Republican plurality of 11,790 two ago and won by about 3000. The State Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot by 32 votes, ensuring the election of a Republican to succeed Senator Edward Murphy, on the expiration of his term on March 3, 1899. The State Senate will stand 27 Republicans to 23 Democrats, a Democratic gain of nine. The Republicans will have 89 Members of the Assembly and the Democrats 61. This is a Republican gain of 11.

Judge Daly Defeated. One of the most exciting and bitter fights of the campaign was over. the election of Justlees of the Supreme Court for the First Judicial district. For 28 years Joseph F. Daly had been a Judge in this city, having been nominated and elected to the Judiciary twice ythe Democrats.

This year he desired to be a candidate, but was notifled last spring by the leaders of Tammany Hall that it had been decided to not place him on the Democratic ticket this year. There was much public inquiry immedlately as to the cause of the Democracy's refusal to renominate Judge Daly, especdally as it was believed to be due to political reasons. The Republicans and the Citizen's Union both placed Judge Daly on their ticket, and a vigorous campaign was made in his behalf. The New York Bar Association met and indorsed him in an address to the public, in which it was Erie Democratic by 2270 Plurality and the City by a Plurality of 3198. SEIBERT DEFEATED; MAYBE MAHANY, TOO.

Republicans Have Elected Alexander, Hill and Davis, and Miller In the Sixth Has a Chance. VOTE OF THE 202D REGIMENT AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. It May Elect Norton, Who Is Defeated in the City by Only 61-Soldier Vote Won't Be Known Until Dec. 1. The full returns from the city of Buffalo and all of the towns of the county show that if there was not a Democratic landslide yesterday, there was something very like it.

The Democrats have elected a Congressman, two State Senators, five out of the eight Assemblyman and a Coroner. The Republicans elected a Congressman, one Senator, three Assemblyman and a Keeper of the Penitentiary. The net loss of offices to the Republicans is a Congressman, two Senators, one Assemblyman and a Coroner. Van Wyck carried the city by 3198 plurality, and Roosevelt carried the towns by 928 plurality, a total of 2270 plurality in the county for NORTON MAY WIN. The belief that Nathaniel W.

Norton will be found to have been elected Senator from the Forty-seventh district almost universal among well-informed men in the downtown portion of the city this morning. But more important still is the admission of a well-known Democrat who has been seen at Democratic headquarters daily since the campaign opened. Said he: "In my judgment it will be found that Norton will be found to have enough of the soldier vote to turn the small majority against him into one in his favor. There are, perhaps, 400 of the soldiers of the 202d who are voters in Buffalo, and a number of these live in the Forty-seventh district. The soldier vote not affect Miller's defeat or that of Mahany, for they have too many votes against them to be turned.

But I am inclined to think that Norton will be elected." A Novel With Every Sunday Paper.

held that the Independence of the Judiciary was assailed. Mr. Croker then Issued a statement to the effect that he had never in his life asked a favor of Judge Daly, but that Tammany Hall had asked him to appoint Michael T. Daly to a court clerkship and that his failure to comply with this request had cost him the nomination he desired. STONE'S GREAT VOTE.

Republican Candidate Carries Philadelphia by a Tremendous Majority. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. was nearly 6 o'clock this morning before the returns from the last Philadelphia ward was received, and the net result was almost as great a surprise to the Republicans as to the Democrats and Prohibitionists. When the ballots had been counted it was found that Stone, Republican, had carried the city by a plurality of 85,900, which, with his plurality in the State outside of Philadelphia county, will probably run the Republican plurality for the head of the ticket up to 150,000 over Jenks, Democrat. SENATOR GRAY DEFEATED.

Little Delaware Will Elect a Republican United States Senator. WILMINGTON, Nov. returns from Kent and Sussex counties were not received until this morning.

The Republicans will thus elect a successor to United States Senator Gray, Democrat. feated by Congressman John H. Handy, Hoffecker, was by de- a majority that will not be less than 2000. By the same margin the Republicans elect Dr. L.

Roosevelt has more than 100,000 plurality. Onondaga county, which contains the city of Syracuse, unlike most of the other canal counties, gives Roosevelt a thumping Republican plurality of nearly 7000. In the rural counties Roosevelt ran well. In almost every instance the figures furnished by Benjamin B. Odell, chairman of the Republican State Committee, were exceeded.

Washington county, for instance, the home of Henry G. Burleigh, who predicted Van Wyck's success, Instead of giving the 3000 plurality Odell was counting on, reached the big figure of 3600.
