New York. November 8. The Re publican national ticket has been elected by a vote in the electoral col lege thot will exceed that of 292 given Mr. McKinley In 1900. The result 1 of today's balloting was astoundin even to the most sanguine of the Republican managers Confident as they were not they were of 'success prepared for the astonishing figures which followed the closing of the polls, bringing into the Republican column not only all of thO:S!e states they had claimed as safe for their candidates, but with Ihe possible ex ception of Maryland, every state classed as doubtful. " Democratic successes are confined to the solid south in which Ken tucky is included, and Mr. Parker has not carried a single state which did not give its votej to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Official returns in dicate that he lost which the Nebraska some of those candidate held for his party. Official figures from the northwest cities may slightly change the totals1. As a dramatic clirnax to the sen sational majorities given him, came President , Roosevelt's formal an- i 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 visitors to attain that degree of enthusiasm that usually marks the occasion. Late in the niht came an! announcement from Melvin G. Palliser, manager of the campaign for Thomas E. Wat son, the candidate of the Peoples party, that as a result of the over whelming Democratic dtjfeat. steps, would be taken to forpi a new party. To this end, according to the an nouncement given out. Mr. Bryan; Mr. Watson and Wil Hearst would hold a New York in about a iam Randolph conference in week's time. The period of suspense that fol lowed the closing of the polls was not prolonged. In no electiohxhv recent years has the result jbeen definitely known so soon. Hardly had thesun gone down whdn results in New York began to ajbpear. By o'clock it was evident! that the great empire state had given the Republi can cadidates a majority beyond the predictions of the party managers. So convincing was tle story of the bulletins that half past seven August Belmont, at Democratic headquarters conceded Roosevelt's jelection by an overwhelming majority, and half an hour later the Democratic leaders who had managed the campaign freely admitted that the Republicans had carried every ; doubtful state. There was no disposition to hope against hone. As state after state sent in its Republican majority and the wires told the tale of the ballots, bringing even from those common wealths upon which they had based their figures of Democratic emccess reports of unprecedented Republican majorities. they frankly conceded their defeat and offered no explana tion. Soon after Mr. Belmont's ad mission. Judge Parkef acknowledged the situation by telegraphing Presi dent Roosevelt his congratulations. The perfect weather conditions which prevailed over! practically the entire country brought out a vote which experienced -'diet will be. a record politicians pre- breaker and in this increase of ballots the Republl cans gained more than their share NEW YORK. New York. November 8. Theo dore Roosevelt's plurality in this his native state, is second only to Mc Kinley's 268.000 in 1896. It exceeds McKinley's in 1900 by about 41.500 The la,'te returns show that there were cast for him in 1 New York state rafcout 185,000 votes 1 more than for SUCCESSES ARE t . CONFINED TO THE Roosevelt and Fairbanks Parker. Not only j was his vote heavy in the country districts,! where the Republican strongholds are, but in Greater New York, tradiiionally Democratic, he ran j much closer to Judge Parker than had bn ex pected, even by his own campaign managers. It had j been estimated that he would come down jto The Bronx with better than 140,000 plu rality, but the figures tonight showed that this forecast would be exceeded by approximately 85,000. In the city Parker's supporters had express ed 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 Re publican vote that j the reexdt was known positively early in the even ing, j The earliest counties . to I report made it clear that the Parker vote Everywhere fell below Bryan's in practically all the up-state districts. In Greater New York, Parker's plu rality was from 12,000 to 14,000 larger than Bryan's, but in the state, according to the late! reports., lliis to tal vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's. The small plurality for Parker in New York- city caused great I aston ishment, the lowest preliminary ante election estimates having figured that he would go to The Bronx with 100, 000 or more. When the reports came in showing that he would leadjRoose velt by only 40,000 they "were jreceiv ed with amazement. The Parker plurality in the city was 35.000 less than was given Herrick, Democrat for governor. j In Brooklyn the Republican man agers thought Parker might lead Roosevelt but reports from put 37 districts give Roosevelt 424 ' plu rality. His total vote fell 16,00p short of Bryan's. 1 r There was a great surprise in the proportions of the vote for Higgins, Republican, for governor, he -running far ahead of the Odell Vote :n counties and winning by about 85: 000. His plurality above The j Bronx was probably 160,000, while Herricks1 in Greater New York, aggregated about 75,000. Herrick did not carry Albany, his home "" county, nor did Parker carry Ulster, live?. in wh ch he INDIANA. Indianapolis, November S.-4Chair- man Goodrich, of the Republican state committee, claims the state for Roose- velt by a plurality of 60,000. Th e indi- cations are that Harily for governor will run behind the i national ticket about 5,000 votes. Returns on-ljhe ex ecutive ticket ind'eate ! that the Repub licans have a majority of over fifty on a joint .ballot- in the legislature RHODE ISLAND. Providence, November S. 'At i 11:4c Thirty-one districts tor Governor 4 in Rhode Island out of 163 give: Garvin (Democrat) 3,98S; Utter, Republican Same districts last year gave Garvin 'Democrat 3,560; Colt Republican 4,709. Providence, R. I., November S.-f-At 11 o'clock tonight with SS d'stricts put of 153 in the state reported Roosevelt was 5,049 in the lead over Parker, with votes of 8,767 against! 3,718 respectively. The fight for governor is in doubt with Utter Republican the leader in 31 districts in the state by 1,335. All but one district of the 31 is in the country. WTEST VIRGINIA. Charleston, W. Va., November Reports from all parts of Wesft'Vir gima indicate a plurality for Rosj?evlt and Fairbanks and victory fo-p the 'Democratic state ticket. Counting of votes is very slow. OHIO. Columbus, O., November S. Aft 10:30 Chairman Dick has issued a bulletin that the Republican plurality ip Ohio would not be less than 125,000. OREGON. Portland, Ore., November S.-KForty precincts out of S6 in this (Muljomah) county, give .Roosevelt 264; Parker 41; scattering IS. These are the only re turns from Oregon so far. Owing to many changes to ward boundaries since the election of 1900 a comparative vote on President is of no value. UTAH. Salt Lake, November 8. Returns from three precincts in this city give Roosevelt olS; Parker 1320; Debs 65. The American party polled an un expectedly large vote in this j county and possibly elected some of their ticket. Weber county, in whichj Ogden is situated, will give Roosevelt 1,500 plurality. ' MONTANA. j 'Butte, Mont., November S. The count is proceeding slowly throughout the state. The reports already indicate that the state will go for Roosevelt. NORTH DAKOTA. Grand Forks, NV D., November 8. SOUTH State returns are coming in very slow ly. So far a normal vote is indicated with 25,000 majority for Roosevelt. NEVADA. Reno, November 8. So far as heard from the Republican state ticket is in the lead, and Yarington (Republican) for Congress is probably elected over VanDazer (Democrat). The state is conceded to Roosevelt. 'Norcross (Re publican) for supreme judge is running ahead of his, ticket. VIRGINIA. Richmond, Va., November 8. The vote in Virginia today was light, prob ably not exceeding sixty per cent, of that cast in 1900. The Democratic ma jority on the presidential ticket is esti mated at between 20,000 and 25,000. 'Nine of the ten Democratic nominees for Congress were . elected?" In the Ninth district, Campbell Slemp, the present Republican Congressman was re-elected by a majority of 600. There was no disturbance at any point dur ing the day. The weather was good throughout the state. The following Democratic Congress men are elected jn Virginia: 'First district, W. A. Jones, re-elected; ;Second district, H. L. Maynard, re elected; Third district, John Lamb, re elected; Fourth district, R. G. Southall; :Fifth district, C A- Swanson, re elected; Sixth district, Carter Glass, re-elected; Seventh district, James Hay, re-elected; Eighth district, John F. Rixey, re-elected; Tenth district, H. D. 'Flood, re-elected. The Ninth dis trict is in doubt with Campbell Slemp, Republican, apparently elected by about 1,200 majority, defeating J. C. Wysor, Democrat. Campbell Slemp, Republican is re elected to Congress in the Ninth Vir ginia district by an estimated majority of about 700. KENTUCKY. Louisville, Ky., November S. Six hundred and seventy-two precincts out of a total of 1,896 in the state give Parker a plurality of 16,480. As the Eleventh district, a Republican strong bold, is yet to be heard from, Parker's probable plurality is placed by those at both Democratic and Republican headquarters at between 12,000 and 14, 000. Bryan's plurality in 1900 was 8,940. KANSAS. Topeka, Kas., November 8. The in dications are that Roosevelt will carfy the state by 30,000 plurality. The state ticket is badly stratched and the com plete returns are not expected before midnight. T. T. Kelly, candidate for state treasurer, is runnmg behind his" ticket. All the Republican Congress men are elected. ALABAMA. Montgomery, Ala., November 8. .H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the Demo cratic state committee said tonight that Alabama had cast the largest vote in years. The majority of the Parker electors will probably be 75,000. TENNESSEE. Nashville, Tenn., November 8. At 11 o'clock tonight both Democratic and 'Republican chairmen are claiming the state. Returns received by the Ameri can indicate a majority of 15,000 votes for the Democratic national tickets and perhaps 5,000 less for Frazier, Demo cratic candidate for governor. ' ' ALABAMA. Birmingham, Ala-, Nov. 8. Later re turns show that Congressman Burnett has been re-elected to Congress from the seventh Alabama district by two thousand majority. J. Thomas Heflin's majority in the fifth district will be six thousand. These were the only two Democratic candidates thought to have serious opposition. ARJvANSAS. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 8. The Ga zette's advices from all parts of the state bear out previous estimates of a plurality for the Parfifer and Davis, electors- Each of the seven congressional dis tricts is Democratic by majorities rang ing from 4,000 to 6,000. The total vote will fall short of that cast at the state election in September, on account of apathy in some of the counties. OHIO IColu,mbus, O., Nov. 8 The estimate at 9 p. m. was that the Republican plu rality in Ohio would exceed the high water mark of 137,000 in 1894 and alsv) an previous Republican record on con gressmen, it is believed that the so cialists increased their vote at the ex pense of the Democrats. NEW JERSEY. Newark, N. J., Nov. 8.--The Republi can state committee claims that Roose velt carried the state bv 60,000 or over. Newark is Republican by 10,000. Es sex county will give nearly 20,000 Re publican. The election of Stokes tor governor is claimed by the Republicans by 25,000. SOUTH DAKOTA. Sioux Falls, S- D.-j Nov. 8 Senator Kittridge claims that Roosevelt has -carried South Dakota by 40,000 and Chairman Crane of the Republican state central committee puts the figures at 50.000. COLORADO. Dcnr, Colo. 3S,V S. From 6 cater ing return rece'ved tp to. 10 p. m,. It SOLD appears that Rcoseve't carries Colora do b; a plurality of something between five- and ten thousand and that Alva .Acams, Eeincoat. is ejected governor. Owing to the targe r umber of scratches .r 1 impossible tc est5mate the con Austin Tex., Nqj-. 8. Partial returnrs GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8- At midnight returns still meagre. No reason to change estimated total 90,000 and plu rality for Parker and Davis pf some thing over half this number. All elev en Democratic congressmen elected.: Bell in the ninth rolled up overwhelm ing majority against Asheley Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 8. The total vote in Georgia will count up little more than 40,000, which is very light. It is conceded that all eleven Democratic congressmen are elected. . TEXAS. Austin, Texas, Nov. S Partial returns indicate that the three constitutional amendments voted on in Texas todav one seeking to provide for state banks, another for the irrigation of Texas ty counties and the third to increase the state pension roll fci Confederate vet erans were all defeated in today's elec tion. It will require a two-thirds vote for them to D3 adopted and it is believed that ihey wiU 1-aidly receive a major ity. LOUISIANA. New Orleans, November S. The Dem ocrats have carried Louis'ana for Par ker and Davis by a majority of proba bly 35,000. iSeven Democratic congressmen have been elected. The election was peace able and outside of New Orleans a light vote was cast. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. 8 Though the re turns from the counties of Maryland are) inot complete and these from pre cincts in Baltimore are missing, the returns that have been received indi cate that Maryland has gone for Roose velt by a small majority, probably a few hundred votes, this estimate being bassed upon the returns, received and the voting records in those districts not heard from. It will be at an ear ly hour tomorrow morning before the result is exactly known. In the six Congressional districts of the state three Republicans and two Democrats have been elected, with the remaining district in doubt- This district is now represented by W. H. Jackson, a. Republican, .and the probabilities pointi to his re-election. Leaving out the four missing precinct's Parker's majority in Baltimore is 453. The chairman of the Republican state committee claims that the final returns will show a Republican majority of over a thousand in the state. Baltimore. Nov. 9. The Sun whir:i 'Slinnortprl thfi ripmrvratip nrooiilonh'al iiominees concedes at 2:30 a. m. that tooseveit carried the state by about 1,000- In Baltimore City with one pre cinct missing, Parker has 474 plurali ty. MISSISSD?PIV Jackson. Miss.. Nov. 8- The Demo cratic plurality is unusually .large in Mississippi having reached the total of about 50,000. All Democratic congress men are elected. - FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 8- Only a few of the very smallest precincts have been heard from. Thp. count will not be completed from the larger precincts be fore tomorrow night. It seems probable that the state ticket is elected by 20,000 plurality. The presidential is running slightly behind, Parkman's majority in the .first district is approximately 5,000; Clark's in the second 7,000 and Lamar's in the third 9,000 all Democrats- SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, S. C-, Nov. 8. Returns come slowly but no indication ofl any change from first report. Republican vote will hardly reach ten per cent, of the total. All seven Democratic congressmen wil go in. No republican state or county tickets put up. WEST .-VIRGINIA. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov- 8. At 11 o'clock tonight the returns from West Virginia are unusually meagre and it is impossible to accurately outline the result except in the most general terms. The belief is that Roosevelt and Fair banks have carried the state by a ma jority exceeding 10,000 and probably more. Meagre reports from a num'oer of points show that nearly everv whre the Republicans have sustained only slight losses as compared with the previous majorities. It is probable that the leg'slature will be Republican in both branches, which will mean the reelection of United States Senator Nathan B. Scott, of Wheeling. The fight for the governorship was the feature of the election and the re ported defections from Dawson in many counties led to the belief that when the returns are all in it will be found that the Democratic nominee John W. Corr. well. of Hampshire county, has defeat ed Secretary of State William M. 0 Dawson, the Republcan candidate. MISSOURI. St. Louis. Nov. 9. At 1 o'clock the election is in doubt. Both sides claim victory. The Democratic state commit tee claimed that the state had been car Tied by a majority of 35,000 and St. Louis by 5,000 and that fifteen Demo cratic congressmen had been elected and the legislature will be Democratic bv a majority of forty, assuring the re-election of United States Senator Cockrell. On the other hand, State Re publican Chairman Niedringhaus was equally assertive that St. Louis bad gone Republican by 20,000 and the state majority would reach 5,000. Bliss Says the Result is 3Iagnificent Neur York, November 8. Corneli us N. Bliss, the treasurer of the Re publican National Committee said to night: "The result is magnificent.

Held an Isformal Reception at the Voting Place and Cast Ballot Num ber 147. Kingston, N.-Y., November 8. Judge Parker slept later today than he had in many months. The judge and his secretary, Mr. 'MeCausland took the buckboard and drove to Kinkston where they cast their ballots. Judge Parker drove up to the old pottery on Green Hill avenue the vot ing place of the third dirstrict of tho Ninth ward at 10:40 o'clock. A crowd of Kingston neighbors had assembled to welcome him and he was received with cheers. The judge passed the reins to Mr. MeCausland and stepped from his wag on. Ralph 'Finngan, a six year old boy whose house adjoins the pottery, rushed out and was the first to shake hands with the candidate. "I hope you will be elected," he told the judge. "Thank you" the judge replied with a laugh. "You are a great boy." Several friends claimed the judge's attention and he shook hands many times before reaching the pottery. The crowd within the pottery also cheered and the judge was compelled to hold a brief informal reception before he could reach the voting officials. He was handed a ballot and at the same time was asked the usual questions. Judge Parker gave his name and ans wered that his residence was 30 Pine Grover avenue, which is the home of his son-in-law, the Rev. Charles Mercer Hall. After complying with all the formali ties the judge passed into a booth and remained half a minute. He came out and handed his folded ballot to a clerk who deposited it and announced. "Alton rooks Parker votes ballot 147." Then there was a flash and several photographers obtained pictures as the judge's ballot was dropped into the box. More cheers followed. TO FORM A NEW PARTY. Hearst, Watson and Bryan Will Have a Conference in New York. New York, November 8. The fol lowing statement was given out to night from Thomas E. Watson'sman agement: 'We expect 1:",000 votes for Wat son in Greater New York and 25,000 in the state. It is a protest of the people against thi3 alleged Demo cratic party. The result of this is that we' will form a new party. "Thomas E. Watson, William J. Bryan and William Randolph Hearst will have a conference in New York In about a week's time and the first steps will then be made to form a new rarty. "Mr. Bryan told me he could not break away from the party because he had been crying against those people for bolting, but after the de feat of Parker, which he knew was bound to happen he could form a new party and this will be done." .

These the 'Republicans do not concede, and it will' take a day to know absolutely. The Democratic majority in the state appears to be about 50,000.

Raleigh gave a thousand Democratic majority, most of the county out Side of Raleigh is heard Xrom, but it is found that the vote was consid erably lighter than it was two years ago, and that there is slight Repub lican increase throughout the coun ty. Chairman Simmons &aid after ten o'clock that the returns were meagre, and that he had instructed the county chairmen not to send figures unless definite. He says the vote in the state is lighter than ex pected, and that the majority will probably be 45.000 to 50.000. His news from the eighth and tenth dis tricts is meagre. . He has returns from only two coun ties in the 8th and these show about the majority expected. He expresses entire confidence that Democratisi will carry both districts." At midnight. Chairman Simmons said "I do not think the republicans can possibly carry more than three counties east of Raleigh, and I believe they will carry only one, that is Sahnpson." The chairman said re garding the 8 th district "Newland will carry all the counties except' Ashe, Wilkes and Watauga and pos sibly Surry. The latter will be very close, and will give neither mors than a very small majority. Rowan. Iredell and Cabarrus have given Newland about 24400 majority. Stanley will give him 290 to 400 ma jority, Caldwell about 200. Alexander about 100. Alleghany 150 to 175."
