Returns Slow, But the Alliance Is
Hit Hard


OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 4.--The result in
the state is still in doubt, the Republic
ans claim the state by from 5000 to
1000 for Post for supreme Judge.
The Independents claim Eager
toms election by 10000, but have
no figures on which TO base it.
Careful estimates give Post, candidate
for supreme Judge, 5000 majority over
EdgertOn. The entire Republican city
and county ticket is elected by major
tiles ranging from 200 10 $500. The
country districts have not yet been
heard from, but it is reasonable to
suppose they will go thoroughly
independent, and as Post has not
what is considered a sufficient majority
in the cities to so out into the state
with. his election is not claimed with
much vigOr. In Omaha and Douglas
county, where the Democrats had ma
jOrity two years ago. the entire Repub-
lican ticket is believed to be elected.
An anti-Catholic organization cast
more than 1000 or the 10000 votes
in the city, and their allies being the
Republicans, they swept everything be-
fore them. In Omaha and Douglas
county the Democratic ticket was over
IS per cent Catholic. aud the campaign
was waged on this ground. George L.
BemS is elected mayer of Omaha by
$4,000, which is the highest majority.
Lancaster county, estimated, gives
Post l.300 majority, and Douglass cOun-
ty 5000 majority. This will indicate
that Posts plurality in the state will be
over 1000. NJ. Y. Cannon, president of
the IRISH National league, Democratic
candidate for clerk of the district
court in this (Douglass) county,
was defeated by Frank Moore,
Rep, by over 10000 majority. This was
due to the anti-CathOlic vote ia Omaha.
Twenty-siX counties give Post %, O23,
EdgertOn 24.675. Last year the same
counties gave Richards 24,274, Boyd
1919, Powers 25,94S.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 4.-The power
of the farmer in Kansas politics is brOk-
Ell for the time at least. The Alliance
terday. The general result is best in
dictated by the returns from the ten
judicial districts. In only one was
the Alliance candidate successful
that district comprising the coun-
ties of Kingman, Pratt and KiOwa,
where the farmers elected William Ba-
shore. That was formerly the strong
hold of the union labOrites, who Joined
the farmers when the latter went into
pOlltlcS. BeSlueS there were Two R6-
publican candidates in the field there.
which divided the Republican strength.
In the nine districts remaining, seven
of the successful candidates are Repub-
licans and two are Democrats. In two
of the districts the Republicans and
Democrats combined against the AL
lance. Democrats and Republicans
alike profess TO believe that the
Peoples party in this state
is out of power to stay and that the
fight next year will be on the old lines.
There is something touching in the
greeting OF the old party politicians
who have fought each other for years.
A crushing Alliance defeat is a common
cause for joy.
Returns from 90 of the log counties
in the state show the defeat of the PeO-
pies party ticket in - counties. In the
two judicial districts in which elections
were held, seven Republicans, two
Democrats and one Alliance man were
elected. There were combinations be-
tween Democrats and Republicans in
three judicial districts, all of which
} were successful. Jerry Simpson was
the only Alliance congressman who
succeeded in putting his ticket through.
The Republicans and Democrats are
congratulating each other, and the old
time Republicans predict that the cam
paign of 1892 will be between the old
