lot has proved hard one to count and
the result is that the returns are later
coming in than ever before, oven in
this proverbially slow state. Rough
estimates made from the returns at
hand. including those from Omaha and
Douglas county, indicate that Judge
Post has carried the state by at least
B, 600 majority. Counties that had
heen expected to give Edgerton a
heavy vote have failed to DO so in
many instances.
1t may be several days before the
exact vote OF each county will be
known.
Chairman Mercer of the state cen
trail committee in an estimate made at
! o'clock this morning says that if the
| present gain for the republican ticket
is kept up that Posts majority in the
state will be between 10, 600 and 10, :
600. This is estimating his majority
in Douglas county at but 8. 900.
| The Omaha World-Herald says: As
we go to press indications point to the
election of j. w. Edgerton to the
supreme court by TO- plurality.
The first returns naturally came from
railroad strongholds and republican
centers. but they do not show large
enough majorities for Post to counter
act the Edgerton majorities from the
country districts.
OMAHA, Nov. up to 2:30 o'clock
this morning the returns from Ne
braska were still incomplete. The
official vote has been received from
thirty-tive of the ninety counties in the
state, showing n total vote of 33, 236
| for Post and 80, 038 for Edgerton.
| These same counties last year gave
Richards "a, 164. Boyd 25, SIC. and
Powers "a, S74. The falling off in the
vote, as compared with last year, is
surprising.
Partial returns received from the
other counties in the state furnish the
basis for careful estimate OF the re-
suit. This shows Judge Posts election
over Edgerton by a majority of over
6, 900.
| The republican central committee
still claims Posts election by s. 600
plurality, maintaining that Post and
Edgerton will be even outside of Doug
las county and that Douglas county
will decide the matter. In Douglas
county fifty-five out of 10 precincts
give: Post, 5,788; Edgcrton, 3, 653.

Chairman Hahn. of the republican
state central committee said: Il have
not the slightest reason to change my
estimate of the state of Ohio going re-
! publican by at least 10, 900 majority.
Every return strengthens my belief
lay claim to the legislature and three
close democratic counties Hardin,
Hancock and Paulding, which have
i heretofore been democratic and which
l held in doubt have been won by the
republican candidates for the legisla-
ture. The entire republican ticket
will be elected"
Immediately afterward the demo-
cratic committee rooms were visited.
Chairman Neal said: Everything is
lost. Mckinley will crrry the state by
at least Is, 000 Anything above that
you can use your own figures, for we
are showed under" How about the
legislature?" was asked him. well,
they take that too, but l cannot tell by
what majority"
COLUMBUS. o.. Nov. A number
OF figures by counties have been OBJ
tanned today. Twenty-seven counties

a democratic plurality of 6, sos and a
