Bynum Would Like to be Speaker.

Bynum Would Like to be Speaker.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Civilian d. By
mum, who has just been elected to con
gress for the fourth term from this dis
trict, will be a candidate for speaker of the
new house. Bynum's majority is $500, be-
ing the largest he ever received, and is
nearly three times as large as his majority
two years ago. He said tonight to q rep
resentative Of the Associated Press: II am
a candidate for speaker, and think that my
chances Of being elected are excellent. 1
think so, for the reason that I believe that
the propriety of putting northern and
western men in the chair of the house
will be recognized by q majority of the
democratic members, and because of the
political position which Indiana occupies,
and the relations which the Indiana demo-
Gratis hold to the nati0al organization.
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
MACON, Ga, Nov. Elm the daily Tele-
graph tomorrow, Congressman James H.
Blount of the Sixth Georgia district, will

Desperate Democrats.

DULUTH. Mimi, Nov. B.-The democrats
Of st. Louis county are considering the
matter of taking steps to have the vote of
the towns of Duluth and Breitung thrown
out on the ground that the proper polling
place in the former district was at the poor
farm, whereas the election was held at
Lakeside, contrary TO the advice of the
acknowledgment. They propose to have
er, thrown out on the ground that men
were naLuralized ON Monday preceding
the election. and registered contrary. to
the provisions of the Whitman election
law. If this vote is thrown out 1t will re-
duce Merriam's plurality in the county over
Wilson by 677 votes and elect a democratic
county attorney and democratic surveyor.
superintendent of schools. clerk Of court
and alliance and democratic candidate to
the legislature. The only thing that de-
tiers them is the fear of injury to WhiG-
mans chances for congress.

All but the Governor.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. THE following
statement is given out from the republic
can headquarters at midnight: .The
election Of the entire republican state
ticket with the exception OF governor by
~plurallties Of 1900 to 5000. Re-
turns from all but six counties make fig.
ures on the governor as follows:
Richards, republican, 67.6O8; Boyd,
democrat, 1850; Powers, independent,
68,417. The independent headquarters
claim the election Of Powers by q plural
lty Of 1000, but concAde the balance of
the ticket to the republicans. The re-
naming counties will add to Powers rel
atively, but probabsbly hardly sufficient
to overcome Boyd's plurality"

1900 Majority for Pierre.

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 6.-The scene in
this city since the news that Pierre had
received a big majority over Huron for the
permanent capital beggars description.
All night long crowds surged back and
forth through the principal streets headed
by bands and with transparencies, and the
town was a perfect bedlam until daylight
this morning. 1t was impossible to MAIN
tain order and the place was turned Over
to the bowling but good natured mob.
Each train brought hundreds of Pierre's
workers and others who came to join in
the celebration. The bulletin board was
closely watched and each fresh telegram
that came in favorable to Pierre added re-
newed fury to the rejoicings until the
whole population seemed to have been
driven insane. To strangers the scene
was incOmprehensible, but to the Pierre
citizen it can easily be understood. People
have been fighting for the capital of South
Dakota for eight long years. Once the leg
is!ature at Bismarck passed q bill making
by Governor Pierce, and again the capital
commission of 1887 decided on Pierre. but
changed their minds. Last year Pierre
o the temporary capital N now M
a complete victory, and therefore the peO-
pie cannot be blamed for their o%verjoyous-
ness. Crowds kept on the streets and as
evening drew near it increased and to-
night the celebration keeps up. Red lights,
fireworks and i~lluminations are being dis
played, whistles are blowing, bells ring
ing and the shouts and hurrahs of the
crowd are mixed up in one grand bedlam.
Never before was there such q scene in the
state. A party Of Pierre's workers who
came in on the evening train are being
shoulders Of the crowd. There is no
doubt but that this will keep up all night.
The latest reports give Pierre $500 major
ity east of the river and 5000 in the Black
Hills, thus giving Pierre ii 500 majority.

excitement on Wall street.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE excitement
to-day in Wall street was greater than on
any previous day since the present de-
cline began, and while the downward
movement in general was not so great,
apunusually heavy drop in the Willard
stocks was made from q lack Of move
ment in the others. The power Of the
bears was concentrated upon the Willard
shares, and stocks as q rule would un-
doubtedly have advanced had il not been
for the depressing influence Of the slump
in those shares. The movement probs-
bly, winds up the last combination in
Wall street. The stocks being we'll dis
tributed and the general business of the
country in Q prosperous condition, which
the adjustment Of the existing railroad
difficulties has brought about, and an
easier money market assured, there will
be an improvement in the stock market.
The closing was better for most stocks,
though Q few were away down.

New Hampshire Very Close.

CONCORD, Nov. 6.-keturns from all but
nine small towns give Tuttle (rep.) for
governor 4O,563. Amsdem (dem.) 10000,
Fletcher (pro.) 1872. The republicans
claim ten to twenty majority in the house
and the democrats from two to sixteen.
The result will hinge upon the question of
the admission of members elected under
the new census a%pportionment and
"classed towns" where the population has
decreased. A good deal depends upon the
the last house, who makes up the roll.

And Iowa. Too.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. 7.-Returns re-
ceived from ninety counties give McFar-
land LIE, 199, and Chamberlain 179,5443.
McFarland's plurality is 1855. It is
estimated the other nine counties will
increase McFarland's plurality to $500,
a net gain of 10,5OO over last year. This
apparently insures the election of the
entire republican state ticket by about
1000 plurality.

Netherlands Plurality.

Dies MONIES, Nov. 6.-Complete unoffi-
ial returns from seventy-four counties give
Mcfarland. republican, for secretary of
state, 146,6O7; Chamberlain, democrat, 1885,
1852, a gain os 1888 over last years vote.
Twenty-Five counties unreported gave
Hutchinson, republican, for governor. $50
plurality in 1889. This indicates the cleo
ton OF Mcfarland by 5000 plurality and
the balance of the republican state ticket
by pluralities somewhat smaller.

ILLINOIS STATE TICKET.

1t Is Now Beyond Doubt That the Entire
Democratic State Ticket Has Won
CHICAGO, Nov. AT last the returns
from the state Of Illinois have become
sufficiently complete to announce de-
cisively the result on the state ticket.
The democrats have won and Edwin 8.
Wilson of Olney is elected state treasur--
or by 1l,436, and Henry Raab, Of Belle
vile, superintendent of public instruc-
ton by 1914. No compilations have
been made yet on the ~trusteeship of the
University Of Illinois. but the indications
are that three democratic nominees have
also been elected by q slight majority.
The exact vote will not be ascertained
until the returns have been canvassed
and sent to the secretary Of state at
Springfield. But the complete returns
leave no doubt that the result is al here
in stated, and that the entire democratic
state ticket is elected. Returns received
80 far are official from all counties in the
state except eight. These have been
carefully estimated, and as they have
heretofore given democratic majorities ,
there can be no doubt that the
vote herewith announced il,
substantially correct. Not until to-day

both committees still claim the state ticket,
the democrats by 800 and the republicans
by 5000. Official returns and careful est.
mates from all but seven counties in the

Merriam's plurality 1910. The alliance
vote is considerably above 10000. In the
Fifth congressional district Halverson,
alliance, seems to have been elected over
Comstock and Whitman, while in the
Second district Baker now claims the de-
feat of Lind and his own election. This
would wipe out our republican delegation
in congress completely. Sufficient returns
to substantiate Bakers claim have not yet
been received, but the vote for congress
man in the Second district will be very
close.

The present situation looks as
though War is imminent at any
time between this country and Eng
land. Many objected to Blaine for
President on the ground that he
was too ambitious and would in his
zeal to mark his administration in
history be likely to involve the
country in war; Blaine as Secretary
Of State is the same stalwart. and
any stand he may take on the fishery
question we may be assured he will
not ''back water,'' nor would any
American consent to his doing so
where the rights Of our people are
at stake, The tone of the London
Times, known as the ".Thunderer, y
is that England is ready for business
and will fight before yielding to Mr..
Diane $ proposal. 1t says: 1.-THE
attitude of the English government
is that any farther seizures will pro-
woke armed hostilities and if follow.
ed by war would be for America to
decide, as England's feet in the
north Pacific would undoubtedly
sweep Behring sea clean Of Ameri-
can cruisers and thereby remove the
immediate occasion Of British, or
rather Canadian complaint. The
situation in London is that, whatev.
er the result Of pending negotia.
tions regarding the Behring sea
America can have war on hel
hands at any time, by persisting in
tue capture Of British sealers.''
