KANSAS THIRTY THOUSAND.
Still Governor LewelIing VIII Not
Give Up the Struggle.

TOPEKA, Nov. THE Republicans have
carried Kansas by plurality of possibly
10000, and will have a slight maiority over
all. Republican Chairman Leland claims
also the election of the Congressman in the
seven districts by pluralities or majorities
as follows: First District, Broderick, 1000
Second, o. l.. Miller, 5000; Third. 5. S.
kirkpatrick, 1900; Fourth, Charles Curtis,
5000; Fifth. W. a. Caldonhead, 2777; Sixth,
a. II. Ellis, 800; Seventh, Chester l. Long,
1900
These figures are. however, based on
estimates. and the official returns may
materially change them and probably re-
verse some of them. The Republicans will
eject 90 Representa- tives to the Legislature
out OF possible 125, giving them a major
ity of 45 on joint ballot. Incomplete re-
turns make further estimates impossible.
