THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.


Returns showing PIuralities and the status
OF the Electoral College.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. lo.-So great
has been the interest In the detailed
figures Of the popular votes by the vari-
Gus states In the recent election, In
which Mr.. Cleveland secured $40 elect
oral votes, MIR. Harrison i45 and Mr..
Weaver 20, that the Star presents to
the public for the first time to-day the
complete vote Of that election.
These figures are with but few ex-
ceptions the official returns as COM
piled by the canvassing boards of the
various states and sent to the Star by
telegraph Us soon as complete. In Ore
gon, Michigan, Wyoming, Montana and
one or two other states, the Official
canvass has not been made Us yet for
legal and other reasons, but the figures
given below, as sent by the secre taries
of state, will probably be found 10 vary
but few hundred votes when com
pared with the final count
In the tabulated returns below Mr.
Cleveland apparently had no supporters
in Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Nevada,
Oregon and Wyoming, but this was the
result OF political maneuvering by which
the democratic votes of those states
were cast for the peoples party ticket
| In Nebraska the Cleveland vote appears
very small, but this was due To the fact
that requests were sent out 10 the dem
ocrats 10 vote for Weaver and over 90,
900 OF them undoubtedly obeyod the
Instructions The votes of the states
named which cast presidential ballots
for Cleveland In 1883 were as follows;
Colorado, 37,507; Kansas, 1913, 745; Ne
vada, $500, and Oregon, 2O,522 In 1890
the democratic votes In Idaho were
s,O2o and in Wyoming o,si9.
This popular vote In tho election OF
| 1888 was divided as follows; Cleveland,
,. 53s, 233; Harrison, b,440, $40; StreeteI
| Union Labor, 2i0,0O7.
| In the electoral college OF 1888, Mr.
Harrison had 233 and Mr. Cleveland l0s
votes, In the college OF 1854, Mr.. Cleve
land had 2io and Mr. Blaine 1865 vot0s
The vote of Mr. Cleveland In the pres.
cnt electoral college has been exceeded
but once since the war. That was In
1872 when Gen. Grant secured 2s0 votes
Mr. Harrison's electoral vote Is smaller
than any defeated candidate has re
ceived since 1872
The combined democratic and popu
list vote-0, 5TO, 735-is l,4s7, 437 largcl
than that Of 1890, while the total re
publican vote is o94, 4l8 larger than 10,

HANDSOME HOLIDAY STORES.
The Abilene Merchants Who Merit
Praise for Their Beautiful Work.

CASE CO.
1t really needs about u page to de-
scribe the display of holiday goods at
Case 4 Co.'S, The hrm has told our
readers about some of their attractions
but not all. The display must be seen
to be appreciated. The basement Of
three store spaces is crowded with all
kinds and varieties Of goods, just the
things for the little ones q few exam
pies of which are seen In the big
window show on Broadway. There
are about 800 different articles. Then
for older ones are lamps, glassware and
everything in the drygoods line that
will make desirable presents. The
grocery department has candy, fruits
and nuts by the. ton while prices are
exceedingly low. No one thinks Of
buying anything for Christmas without
seeing Cases store.
o. c. sTERL a co.
One always knows that Slerl will
have the incest things agoing in the
gents furnishing line. In the windows
this year is shown a decidedly pretty
line of muillers, handkeTchiefs, ties,
etc, while inside the splendid assort-
ment makes it necessary TO see the
stock before buying present for a
gentlemen. Sterl's prices are always
right and his goods likewise,
orLICK S DRUGSTORE.
The fancy articles in the window Of
Gulick's drugstore are not the hack
neyed patterns so often seen at holiday
time. They are unique and striking
and will be appreciated by all. There
are goods for ladies and gentlemen.
RoTHsCHILD's CLOTHING STORE,
The rich display of silk handker-
chiefs, mufIlers, ETC., SO artistically
displayed in Rothschilds store window
is but an ipkling of the goods that are
shown when inside. Great festoons OF
haudkerchiefs, from liuen to fiuest silk
with other appropriate decorations
make the store one Of the prettiest in
town. The stock is very complete and
prices on everything are being cut
about in two to meet the holiday trade.
GOOD 4 60.
Manager Hawk in all his merchantile
experience has never had a prettier line
Of holiday goods Of all kinds carried by a
well equipped dry goods store. The
beautiful haudkerchiefs that adorn, one
window and the novelties in the other
as well as the counters. shelves and
supports loaded with attractions within
account for the crowds that are buy ing
holiday goods there. This firm has
made remarkable progress in It's six
months career and already ranks at
the top OF Abilene's dry goods houses,
They opened this morning magnill
cent line of plush toilet sets, cuff and
collar eoxes, etc, that are remarkably
low in price
