ming, who is said TO have slipped in a
Populist elector had refused 10 with
draw and drew vital strength from the
fusion ticket.
MIR. Payne said his advices from
Chairman Roberts of the Kentucky
committee assured him that states vote
would be for Mckinley, but it would
require the official count to determine
what the majority was. AT present he
claims it by 1200. This state would
give Mckinley $50 electoral votes. The
following telegram was received from
United States Senator Warren, who is
chairman of the Wyoming Republican
state committee:
Republicans carry eight counties for
the national and state tickets. One
county usually Republican not heard
from. Have certainly one presidential
elector and supreme Judge"

money in the senate. There will be 40
senators for gold, ~ for free silver and
TWO doubtful, the doubt resting on the
legislatures which have just been
elected. On the question of passing
tariff bill, independent of silver rider,
there will be II for 40 against and
senators as Kyle and Cannon voting
with the administration"
