college II every other electoral vote
goes against us. Another most signiff
cant feature OF this victory is the fact
that Mckinley and Hobart's election
has been secured by q plurality of
over 100000 of the popular vote-the
largest ever given. ! am confident we
will secure the other two electors in

Washington, Nov. Z. A table pre-
pared by the Associated Press from
the telegraphic returns up TO noon
shows the election Of POI Republicans
to the next house. 124 Democrats, ~
populists, f~usionists and Independents
In number which should, perhaps, be
slightly increased, as a few OF those
classed as Democrats have independ-
ent leanings.) Some districts are IN
doubt. and no attempt las been made
to include Washington South Ia
kota and three districts In Texas in the
list, owing to the meager ana con-
dieting returns. Washington has prob
ably gone Democratic or independent
on congressman.
Later eturps indicate slight changes
in the next senate from the table SEM
yesterday. The FIVE doubtful states
yesterday were Delaware, Kansas
Kentucky, North Carolina and south
Dakota. II is now reasonably certain
that Delaware will have a Repnbhcan
