Kansas win Probably Go Republican by
About 2O,OOO-The POpulists'
Tactics Delay Returns.

KANSAS.-There is little probability Of
any definite returns from Kansas being re-
ceived until late today. The Populists
have insisted that the law providing that
each ballot shall be checked up complete
when taken from the box is complied with
to the letter. This has resulted in delay
ing the count to such an extent that no
figures Of any consequence have been re-
ported
The precincts heard from all show de
cided Republican gains Four towns in
the Seventh district, Wichita, Winfield,
Newton and Nickerson, all Of which gave
Jerry Simpson handsome maiOrities in
1890, have each given maiorites for Long,
Rep.
The Republican state central state com
mittee claims the election Of all the eight
Republican candidates for congress and a
majority in each branch of the Legislature
Us well as the state and electoral tickets.
A similar claim is made by the fusionists
If the proportion of gains made by the
Republicans in the few precincts heard
| from is kept up throughout the state the
| Republican majority will not be less than
/ 10000.
/ The Republican state central committee
claim the state by 10000 plurality. The
/ chairman of the Peoples party comedies

NEVADA.-Iti is conceded by all parties
| that Weaver carries Nevada by 800. New

election of Stewart to the United States
senate.
