EARLY Reports Raise Hopes Which

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Chairnan jones and
other members of the democratic executive
committee, including Secretary Walsh, Com
mitteeman Johnson of Kansas and Campau
of Michigan, received returns in Chairman
Jones office, where an Associated press
wire has been run. Chairman Washburnc
of the populist national committee was also
present, as were also Senators Teller of
Colorado and Tillman of South Carolina
Tho first returns received at the democratic
national headquarters were from Rutland
Kan, and gave a vote OF GIL for Bryan and
II for Mckinley. The early returns from
the eastern states showed republican gains
in about every instance. ut little interest,
however, was manifested in the returns
from states admittedly republican. The
hrst surprise came from Baltimore, which
showed big majority for Mckinley, indi-
eating that the state had gone republican.
Every report from the middle western
states was eagerly watched for, and much
qualification was expressed at the first re-
port from Michigan. This was from Gratiot
county, giving Bryan 500 plurality. This
county gave Harrison a plurality of 376
in 1892.

Chairman Jones, after reading the returns
from New York and eastern states. "Au

patriotic and campaign songs and solos by

chorus of thirty voices. Short speeches were
sandwiched in between the songs by local
