WISCONSIN.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 9-The election re-
turns from out the State are still very slow to
coming IN, and not more than half the counties
have been heard from in full. On the figures
already received Chairman Payne estimates
that the State will give at least $1,000 for
Harrison, but Chairman Usher thinks
it VIII not exceed 1900. There has
been great deal OF surprise over
the fact that W d. Hoard, the Gubernatoral
eand date. has not run ahead OF Harr SON. as he
was expected TO get a great many Democratic
farmers. THIS is explained BY the fact that
the Prohibitions SITS cast big vote for Har-
rison and then voted for their own Guber-
material cand date The later returns, how
ever, indicate that Hoard will make up this
loss and lin sh very close 10 Harrison and a
good away ahead OF a portion OF the State
ticket. The Legislature will be overwhelm-
ingly Republican. The L~Lcr element has
