THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON O. NOVEMBER 1896


Gratis. g. w. Murray, colersd, who was seated
in the present House over Elliott, after lively
contest, was the Republican candidate 1t tais
election. Elliotts majority over Murray Will
exceed 1900.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Chairman Elliott. of the Republican Commit
tee is sapguine that his estimate OF 5000 ior
Mckinley will be low. ItAll depends upon the
country precints. The towns al give Mchin-
ley good maorities, but tho country is liable to
reduce the majority to 5000
TENNESSEE.
Inc latest returns wedld indicate Bryan
victory with Taylor (Dem3 elected Governor;
that eight out of ten Congressman are Demo
crats and that the Legislature is Democratic
by good majority. An exceedingly large vote
was polled. However the result seems to DO
doubtful, from the fact that both SIDES are
charging fraud, and neither side is furnishing
complete returns nor giving estimates OF INC
result in Counties. The Republican Commit
tee, on the other hand, claim that mckinley
and Tillman have carried Tennessee by 2OooU.
They charge that returns are being held back
in Giles, Maury, Lincoln, Lauderdale, MANSON
Upton, and Fayette Counties, and that Irauos
have been practiced all over Middle ana West
Tennessee Out of 1900 registration only
1000 votes were polled in the city OF memphis.
The indications are that the usual Democratic
side Counties tell of q much larger vote than
usual and great interest in the result. Inc
majority of Sound Money Democrats voted ior
Mckinley.
The returns from this State indicate Bryan
and Sewall plurality of 10000. Culberson.s ma
jority for Governor reaching 40,OOo. Ihese
figures may be cut down by complete returns.
Seavalla County gives Mckinley GLIB majority;
Bryan County gives Mckinley 400, aud Jeffer-
son County gives Mckinley 125 majority.
UTAH.
Bryan won in Utah. plete returns in
dictate majority for Bryan of l5,000; that
King (Dem.) has been elected to Congress, ana
that the Democrats have elected majority In
the Legislature. There was little excitement
in the State during the campaign.
VERMONT.
McKinley's plurality here is about 10000.
Forty-six towns out of $40 and two cities ont
of five give Bryan 26SS; Mckinley, 1925 !;
| Palmer, 443. The same cities and towns IN
| 1892 gave Cleveland 3,545: Harrison, 6,999-a
Republican gain of 1871. The missing towns
and cities in 1892 gave Republican majority
of 7,137. If the percentage OF gain continues
| in places not yet reported the total vote VIII
be about 66 997, and the Republican majority
| will be about 40, 127
VIRGINIA.
| Bryan scored one of his few victories in Vir-
| gina. 1t is estimated that his majority mere
| is about $1,000, and that the Democrats Will
| have eight out OF 10 congressman. These hg-
! ures may he changed by fuller returns. IL IS.
| however, not likely that these will be favorable
| to Democrats. The returns show that the
| Democrats sustained heavy losses IN the Clues
| and all the railroad towns. The Palmer vote
was insignificant. that side having thrown
| their votes to Mckinley with great unanimity.
! These Districts are claimed by the democrats
| First, w. A. Jones; Second, w. A. Young;
| Third, John Lamb; FenTth, Sidney Epes;
| Fifth, Claude Swanson; Seventh. James Hay
| Eigth. John Rixey. There is comparatively
| little heard from the Ninth District, where
Gen. James A. Walker Republican, is running
against Judge Samuel Williams. In the Tenth
| District. where Yost is opposing Flood, the Re
| publicans have increased heir majorities. and
| the Democrats have lost III Counties which
| were heretofore certain. The Democrats hope
to carry both of these districts, but there is
| grave doubt of this.
WASHINGTON.
In this State returns are yet meager. Indi-
cations are that Bryan electors and the entire
fusion State ticket, including two Cogrcssmen,
| are successful.
WEST VIRGINIA.
| This State goes for Mckinley by 5000 plu-
/ rality The Republican State ticket is elected.
| and all four Congressmenebaye won. FIVE
| Counties give a Republican Igaiiiof $500. This
includes Wheeling. 1t is generally conceded
that West Virginia gives its electoral vote to
Mckinley, elects Atkinson Governor. and that
the Third District will send Dorr to Congress.
The Legislature will have a Republican Dele
| gates % 81 Democrats. The Republicans prob
ably elect nine out of Ia members of the Senate.
The Democratic State Committee claim to have
received information showing Democratic
gains in Kanawha, Fayette, Uzbell, and other
| Counties Gold standard Democrats generally
