cut, with the exception of one, Wind

Georgia.

Gratis elected the IL congressman from
this district
Illinois.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The returns from
aver the state of Illinois indicate that
Mckinley has made as big gains in
proportion throughout the counties
and towns as he has in Chicago, and
seems to justify the claim of the CEN

100000 republican. II the gains which
are already reported hold up in the
districts yet to be heard from the ma
jority, it is said, will exceed that fir-
ure. Chicago, complete, except two

an 14a, ,436, majority of 5G,9 9S7 for the
former.

Kentucky.
LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. --latest |
news from the state indicates that Nc
Kinley will carry the state by a much
greater majority than Bradley carried |
it in 1895 for governor. The state will |

the free silver leaders and the size of |
the result is surprise to the sound |

aave elected six silver congressman.
Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 1.-The DEM
ocrats of Maryland have again been |
defeated. The almost phenomenal
majority of 10000 for Lowndes a wear
ago has been duplicated and perhaps
exceeded, as with full returns from
two-thirds of the state and half of the
city, the indications at midnight are
that Mckinley leads Bryan by 80 ooo
10000 of which has been contributed
by the city of Baltimore, heretofore n
Gibraltar of Democracy. Five re-
publican congressman have surely been
elected, the only doubtful district at
this writing being the First, in which
Joshua W. Miles (dem) NAV be re-
elected. The full vote of Baltimore
