The Republican Tickst With the Excsp-
tion Of Governor.
OMAHA, Nov. 6.-The vote Of Omaha
wes very heavy. The A. p. A. did not
figure to the extent anticipated in view
of the fact that for the past four years
the organization has practically con-
trolled everything. However. ii has
been a factor. but to what extent will
not be known for "a hours. Majors, the
head of the Republican state ticket, ia
an A. P. A. and received the full sup.
port of the order in Omaha.
Though returns from the state are
coming in exceedingly slow, complete
returns on the head of the ticket from
some localities indicate that the fusion
candidate for governor, Holcomb, il
elected by 5000 plurality. This conclu-
sion is arrived at wholly by comparison
with previous votes. This does not
mean q Republican loss, since they
could gain 10000 and yet lose on the
com bined Democratic.P Populist strength.
However, there is little doubt that the
Republican state ticket is elected, with
the exception of governor. This ia the
result of the great fight made against
u1HlOIbs noDuOllC0u ChuulOhb0 kOVS
ernor, by anti.monopoly men.
1t is anticipated that the legislature
will be exceedingly close, with chances
in favor OF the Republicans organizing
it against the fusion;sts.
The only probable change in the state
congressional delegation is in the First
Bryan's district, which will elect Strobe,
Republican.
OMAHA, Nov. 6.-Returns received up
to IL O'Clock indicate the election OF
Holcomb for governor by from $500 to
10, 900 plurality. Holcomb gains about
1000 in this county over. the plurality re-
ceived by him in '93 as candidate for
supreme judge.
At IL O clock 49 ont Of 75 precincts in
the city heard from give Majors. Repuh
lican, for Governor, 5000; Holcomb,
fusion, 4875. This is slight Republic
can gain, since the city is almost evenly
divided on close party lines.
AS to the congressional delegation
little actual details are known, but from
comparisons carefully made the delega-
tion Glands thus: First district. Jesse
Strobe, Republican; Second, Mercer,
Republican; Third, Meiklejohn. RepuD-
licsn; Fourth, E. J. Hainer, Repu bill
can; Fifth, McKeighan, Democrat; !;
Sixth, 0. K. Herr. Democrat. This is q
gain of one from Bryan's district for the
Republicans.
The returns on the legislative ticket
are limited and badly mixed, with pros
poets that the complexion of that body
will be so close as to be in doubt for
several days. The returns of the var
ious committees are so partisan OIL this
subject that they can scarcely be de-
pended upon for accuracy.
Impartially reviewed at II O'Clock the
situation shows the Republican strength
about equal to the fusion combination,
with 10 from doubtful districts that may
60 either way.
At midnight with II precintts re.
ceived from the state on the head of the
ticket, the candidates stand: Majors,
Republican, l0,S65; Holcomb, Dsmo-
crat- Populist, 1867; Sturdevant, straight
Democrat, 065.
Nothing in the way OF accurate details
on any other part of the state ticket will
be obtained before Wednesday night.
Everything seems to favor Holcomb'a
election by 5000 plurality.
