THE "BIG STICK" KNOCKS OUT A HOME RUN ANC CATCHER PARKER. HOWTHESTATESWENT All the Northern States Solid For Roosevelt and Fairbanks. M'KINLEY'S VOTE IS EXCEEDED. Higgins Elected New York's Governor by More Than 100,000 Plurality. Pennsylvania' 6 Republican Plurality Enormous—Maryland Close West Virginia Republican. New York, Nov. 9.—Theodore Roo sevelt's plurality in this, his native state Is second only to McKinley's in 1696. It exceeds McKinley's in 1900 by about 41,500. There were cast for him In New York state about 185,000 votes more than for Alton B. Parker. Not only was his vote heavy in the couutry districts, where the Republi can strongholds are, but in the Great er New York, traditionally Demo cratic he ran much closer to Judge Parker than had been expected, even by his own campaign managers. It had been estimated that he would come down to the Bronx with better than 140,000 plurality, but the figures showed this forecast would be ex ceeded by 25,000. In the city, Parker's supporters had eapressed hopes that their candidate would have from 140,000 to 160,000 more than Roosevelt, but in this they were disappointed by more than 100,- 000 votes. So overwhelming was the Republican vote that the result was known positively early in the evening. The earliest counties to report made it clear that the Parker vote every where fell below Bryan's in practical ly all the up-state districts. In Great er New York Parker's plurality was from 12,000 to 14,000 larger than Bry an's, but in the state his total vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's. The small plurality for Parker in New York City caused great astonish ment, the lowest preliminary ante election estimates having figured that he would go into the Bronx with 100,- 000 or more. When the reports cams in showing that he would lead Roose velt by only -10,000, they were received with amazement. The Parker plurality in the city was 35,000 less than was given Herrlck, Dem., for governor. In Broaklyn the Republican managers thought Parker might lead Roosevelt, but reports give Roosevelt a plurality. His til&l vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's. There was a great surprise in the proportions of the vote for Higgins, Rep., for governor, he running far ahead of the O-Jell vote in the coun ties and winning by about 85,000. His plurality above the Bronx was prob ably 100,000, while Ilerrick's in Great er New York aggregated about 75,- 000. Herrick did not carry Albany, his home county, nor did Parker carry Ulster, in which he lives. Ihe result of the election was cele brated in New York in the demonstra tive manner characteristic of this city. 1 lie large crowds in the streets, sat isfied that Roosevelt had been elected, started in early with every noise-pro ducing instrument procurable and soon I'r-adway and the other great thoro \s were so congested that tra tade almost impossible. •<sets bonfires were lit hurried into service Mies.

New York, Nov. 9. —The Republican j national ticket has been elected by a vote in the electoral college that will exceed that of 292 given to McKinley ; in 1900. The result of the balloting ' was astounding even to the most san- j guine of the Republican managers. 1 Confident as they were of success, they were not prepared for the aston- j lshing figures which followed Ihe clos ing of the polls, bringing into the Re publican column not only all of those : states they had claimed as safe for ! their candidates, but w' . che possible ! AFTER THE NOVEMBER CYCLONE. exception of Maryland, every state classed as doubtful. Democratic successes are confined to the solid South In which Ken Micky is included and Mr. Parker has not carried a single state which did not give its vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Returns show that he has lost some of those which the Nebraskan candidate held for his party. Official figures from some of the Northwest states may slightly change the totals, but based on the r#turn« available at a late hour the electoral vote stands as follows: As a dramatic climax to the sensa tional majorities given him. came President Roosevelt's formal an nouncement that he would not be a candidate for re-election, lending the only exciting aspect to an election night otherwise so one sided that it was impossible for even the victors to attain that degree of enthusiasm which usually marks the occasion. Late in the night came an announce ment from Melvin G. Paliser, manager of the campaign for Thomas E. Wat son, presidential candidate of the Peo ples party, that as a result of the overwhelming Democratic defeats steps would be taken to form a new party. To this end, according to an nouncement given out, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and William R. Hearst would hold a conference In New York In about a week's time. Electoral Vote. Dem. Rep.

Washington, Nov. 9.—Surrounded by his family &nd a company of per sonal friends. President Roosevelt re ceived the news of his overwhelming victory. The first information of a definite oharacter was received by the presi dent while he was at dinner in the nature ot assurances that he had car ried New York, his home slate, by a plurality so large as to be really as tounding. While lhe president was gratified, it may be said the result was not entirely unexpected. He was in the best of spirits, but at no time did he manifest the slight est nervousness ct anxiety. Assured, as he Faid, that the cam paign had been conducted on a plane of principle and patriotism, as lofty as he himself would have it and that everything had been done which le gitimately could be done to insure the success of the principles which had been promulgated by the Republican party and by himself, he had awaited with perfect confidence the verdict of the people. At 10:15 o'clock the president left his guests at the White House and went to his. private office. There he greeted cordially a large number of corps of Washington correspondents who had been awaiting him. He chat ted freely with them about the rosult of the election making no attempt to conceal his great gratification at the victory which had been won. I Among the messages received by President Roosevelt was one from his running mate on the Republican tick e<„Sehator Charles W. Fairbanks It read: . "The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt: "Accept my heartiest congratula tions upon your well deserved and ; magnificent victory. Your election is the logical result of your splendid ad ministration. May the four years to | come be marked by widespread happi ness and prosperity. Mrs. Fairbanks | Joins me in best wishes to Mrs. Roose ] velt and yourself. "Charles W. Fairbanks." I As state after state in its Republi can majority and the wires told the tale of the ballots, bringing evem from ; those commonwealths upon which j they had based their figures of Demo ' cratlc success, reports of unprece ! dented Republican majorities, they i frankly conceded their defeat and of j fered no explanation. 3oon after Mr. ; Belmont's admission Judge Parker ac knowledged the situation by tele graphing President Roosevelt his con gratulations, i Beginning with the state of New I York, which gives a Republican plur ality of approximately 185,000, the tale j runs practically throughout the coun | try, iventucky alone showing Demo ; cratic gains.

'• Delaware is elected at about 50,000 : Republican, Massachusetts about 90,- , 000, and Connecticut, in which the more sanguine of the Democratic i leaders claimed to have had hopes, i is about 25,000.

They have reversed the national vote' by electing governors in Massachusetts, Parker Received the News. Esopus, Nov. 9. —Judge Parker re ceived election returns at Esopus. He appeared to ue not at all downcast by the result, although it is known that he greatly depiored his overwhelming defeat in his own state. He received the discouraging news in his study, where he sat smoking with two of his neighbors. In the village of Esopus there was genuine grief manifested by Demo crats, who gathered In the two inns and the railway station at the dis couraging character of the returns Many had foreseen the result as based upon the returns for th« village, which Judge Parker had failed to carry by 14 votes.
