KANSAS.
Meager Returns Give the State
to Weaver.

W w CbtCIs
Topeka, Kan, Nov. S.-KanSas has
been doubtful state all through this
campaign, and even now, Oh the night
of the election, it is still in doubt. The
Peoples party has maintained its
reputation for doing things as nobody
else does them, and has insisted that
the full set of officers in each voting
place shall inspect and count each bal
lot instead of dividing the work of the
count among the various officials. This
Is greatly delaying the count, and full
figures from no county will be avail
able before early Wednesday morning.
Meager returns from various counties
indicate that the Weaver fusion ticket
has been elected by a small majority,
but the fusion state ticket is defeated.
The poll was very heavy. but not so
large as was expected, many Democrats
refraining from voting. Those who did
go to the polls generally voted the
Weaver electoral ticket.
The indications received at 10 o'clock
indicate Jerry Simpson has been de-
feated for reelection to congress in the
seventh district by Long, Rep. Re-
turns from other congressional districts
are too meager even for an estimate.
The Republicans at the central COM
mittee headquarters claim that the leg
islature is in doubt. but admit that the
Peoples party will have majority on
joint ballot.
KANSAS CITY. Nov. Sat midnight
returns from Kansas indicate that the
Republicans have elected congressman
in the First, Second, Fourth and Sew
enth districts and one at large. The
Democratic-P opulist fusion have elected
congressman in the Third, Fifth and
Sixth districts.
The indications at midnight still point
to the election of the Weaver fusion
electoral ticket and the Deans of the
fusion state ticket. A dispatch from
Wichita says that the returns from
Sedgewick county are still incomplete,
but that Weaver electors have good
majority. Lewelling. the fusion candi-
date for governor, is running ahead of
his ticket there, while Simpson is run
ming behind.
KANSAS CITY. Nov. S.-The feature
of the election in Kansas City was the
wholesale disfranchisement OF Repub
lican voters by the disorder of voters
who failed to have their names placed
on the precinct poll books. Great eX-
element prevailed all day, but no
jackson county will show the normal
Democratic majority OF about 1,800, eX
cept Oh governor. Warner, Rep, running
considerably ahead of his ticket.
From scattering points returns show
that Tarsney, Dem, is elect
ed to congress by largely
reduced plurality,'the Populists having
materially affected his vote. Returns
received from number of points in
Western Missouri, show that everywhere
Warner, Rep, for governor, has run
ahead Of his ticket, and the Populists
are many thousands more than estimat-
ed by either Democrats or Republicans.
All the eight Republican candidates
for congress and the legislature as we'll
as the electors are claimed by the RepuD-
licanS. If the proportion of gains made
by the Republicans in the few precincts
heard from is kept up, there will be a
Republican majority of not less than
$4,000.
HUTCHINSON, Kan, Nov. S.-Long.
Rep. for congress, has carried Rem
county by majority of 700 over Simp-
soR. A dispatch from Independence to
the capital states that Humphrey. Rep,
for congress, is elected by 500 majority
