LINCOLN. Nov. 5.-Complete returns
from A out of the 80 counties of the
state gives Bryan 1886 majority, and
Holcomb Gusion) for governor 10645.
1t is estimated from these figures that
Bryan's majority in the state will be
about $4,000, and Holcomb's about $4,000.
The fact that Holcomb runs ahead of
Bryan is attributed to the confusion
incident to the court decision against
the regularity of the Chicago ticket.
The Populists and Democrats concede
the election of Strobe, Republican, to
congress from the First district, and
of Mercer, Republican, in the Second.
Fusion candidates carry all the other
congressional districts by large major
tiles.
Republican Chairman Post claims that
exceed 5000.

certainly seat Judge Lewis. the Republi
can candidate III the Third district.

been the seat of glaring irregularities.
An effort will be made to unseat Captain

cd in the First Richmond district. In

egraphed to Secretary Carlisle this af-
ternoon as follows:
The last revised unofficial returns
show that Mckinley will have a little

ceived: Bryan receives 494 more votes
in Galloway county, and in Hardin
county 633 more are for Bryan. However.
the Republicans still claim the state will
go for Mckinley by ATS.
1t is stated that no election officers
were appointed in Breathitt county un-
til on the morning of election, and that

ocratic majority is more by 100 than
heretofore. when the neighboring coun-
ties showed smaller majorities
In Owen county primary election was
held for county officers in violation Of

counties would elect Breckenridge and
make McKinley's majority 1000

electors 800 ahead Four precincts in
Johnson county to hear from will in
crease this over 100. Big Horn county,
without railroad or telegraph commu-
