cratic vote.
The Republicans have abandoned all
hope of Texas and the state is conceded
to Bryan. The fusion between the
populists and the Republicans in this
state did not prove success.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan, not.
withstanding the Republican claims,
but Kansas has, as yet, said practically
nothing. The returns show Democratic
gains in some districts and these are
offset by Republican gains IN other
parts of the state Both parties claim
the state, but the few scattering re-
turns that are in SO far are of so in
definite nature as to make any claims
of q very uncertain character.
Results in the Northwest.
Wisconsin is sure for the Republican
column by an enormous plurality.
Minnesota, which was regarded as
doubtful by both parties, has surprised
everybody by the size of it's Republican
plurality and Mckinley will have ap-
proximately 10000 to 10000 more votes
in the state than Bryan.
The latest information from the two
Dakotas shows that North Dakota is
very sure for Mckinley and the proba-
bility is that South Dakota will be
found in the same column, although
the result is close.
The Republicans claim Wyoming
and Washington, but the probabilities
seem against them in both states.
Oregon has cone for Mckinley, and
Colorado, as expected, has given
Bryan he ,urality. Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah :, Nevada have all gone
for Bryan by heavy majorities.
California Is Close.
California has, on the strength of the
returns at hand, undoubtedly gone for
Mckinley, the city of San Francisco
showing a gain on 1892 of 6,947.
Delaware, where the Republican
party has been rent in twain because of
the Addicks- Higgins fight, has kept in
the Republican column. The vote for
the Republican electors in this state
has been unusually large, showing that
the factiOnal dispute did not extend in
any great measure to the national
ticket
The vote of Maryland has shown an
interesting reversal from that of the
last presidential election Cleveland
carried the state by plurality of 81, 100
and this year Mckinley has a plurality
of slightly over $1,000 in the city of
Baltimore alone and of about $4,000 in
the state at large.

CONGRESSMAN M'CLEARY.

The magnificent majority given to
Congressman McCleary in this district
is a handsome compliment to his
worth, and in no county did he re-
ceive more grand or inspiring &C
acknowledgement of his personal pOpu-
larity and standing than in his home
county. The increase over his I'M
precedented majority of two years
ago was deserved recognition of his
splendid record in congress, and the
great and convincing arguments on
the currency question which he has so
boldly and successfully presented
throughout the district, state and in
large cities throughout the country,
will make him an important figure
aud influential factor in the next con-
gress.
With the combination of all the
elements in and out of politics arrayed
against him in the campaign, Mr..
McCleary's overwhelming majority
nearly double that of twoyears ago
lis almost phenomenal. 1t simply
proves that the mass of the people
an be depended upon to rise to the
emergency of threatened danger, and
unite to down all issues which tend
to destroy confidence and bring dis
aster.
Mr.. Day, who made the fight against
Mr.. McCleary, is personally popular
and companionable gentleman. He
went away from the Republican party
on the money question as many others
did, but will no doubt return to the
bosom of his first love in due time.
The silver craze is dead-deader than
mackerel laid away in brine-and it
will repose in long and peaceful
sleep. Frank Day has been too long
and too good Republican to stay in
such company as he has been training
with for the past three months. Now
is the time to repent and ask forgive
ness, Frank. You will be welcomed
back to the G.. O. P. and your sins
washed away.

After meals you should have simply

You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have Indigestion, which
means not-digestion. This may be the
beginning OF so many dangerous dis
eases, that il is best to take it in hand
at once and treat it with Shaker Di-

Indigestion makes poison, which

THERE will now be no further hoard
ing of gold. McKinley's election set
tied that. Yesterday, banks all over
the country began paying out gold, and
many thousands of dollars of the yell
low coin were pulled out of stockings
and deposited in banks. A general
revival of business will take place.
Immediately, and uncertainty has
given way to assured prosperity.

BLUE EARTH county, for the first
time in many years elects Republi-
can to every Office on the county
ticket. Once or twice the Republicans
have won signal victory, cleaning up
everything but single candidate,
but this year the Democratic First
and Fifth commissioner districts both
elect Republican commissioners by
large majorities. 1t was a sweeping
victory all along the line.

HE STILL HAS HOPES.

Mr. Bryan VIII Wait Until Complete Re-
turns Are In.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 5.-Mr. Bryan
has given out the following in reply to
numerous kilograms from all parts of
the country
"The Democratic national committee
claims enough states to give majority
in the electoral college, but the vote is
very close in several Of the states and
the result cannot be known positively
until the entire vote is counted. In all
close contests it is wise for both sides to
watch the returns to guard against the
possibility of mistakes-intentional or
unintentional.
Mr. Bryan dictated this statement to
typewriter, but, when pressed for
something more for the press declined
to yield, saying that he could give no
utterance to his opinion as to the re-
suit or outline his intentions until the
outcome
Should BE Definitely Known.
In conversation with friends he freely
discussed the probabilities, referring to
the closeness of the vote in several of
the states and comparing notes with
them on the chances in Kentucky, In
diana, West Virginia and other states
of apparently narrow margin. Heread
all bulletins with interest, but in reply
to questions said that he was not allow
ing the uncertainty to cause the least
degree of worry. He spoke cheerfully
to all, but it became evident towards
the latter part of the day that he was
growing less and less hopeful.

BUTLER HAS DOUBTS.

Populist Chairman Not Ready to Concede
McKinley's Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. B. = Chairman
Butler of the Populist national COM
mittee is not ready to concede the cleo
ton of Mckinley, but says: every
report from the back districts is in our
favor. This is especially true in South
Dakota, which we have carried, and
Kentucky, which looks more favorable
by later returns Our best districts are
in the country and we cannot tell how
large our vote will be until it is all in.

Thousands of kilograms.

CANTON, o., Nov. 5.-The kilograms
of congratulation to Major Mckinley
are fast mounting to tens of thousands.
They began Tuesday night and have
shown no diminution with the seeming
doubt which arose later.

Necessary to a choice, 224
Surprise to Both Parties.

Surprise to Both Parties.
The returns show some interesting
features and, in some respects, have
been surprise to the leaders of both
political parties.
The New England states have, as
was expected, given heavy pluralities
for Mckinley without exception. The
Republican ticket was successful in
Massachusetts beyond what was
claimed for it by the most enthusiastic
prophet of Republican success.
New York and Pennsylvania vie with
each other for the largest plurality, and
the figures at hand do not indicate
which one of them has surpassed the
other. Each state has given the Re-
publican candidate a plurality of be-
tween 1000 and 2SO,OOO. To these
states Illinois is good third in it's plu-
rality for the winning candidate. If
the percentage of gain over the presi-
Dental election of 1892 that has so far
been shown continues to the end, it
will give a plurality of not far from
ITO, ZOO.
Altgeld Badly Beaten.
In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has
been badly defeated, but is not buried
so deep and is probably about 10000
ahead of the Democratic national
ticket. There has evidently been a
large vote cast throughout the state for
Mckinley and Altgeld.
In Indiana, if any of the rules for
estimating the vote of state which
previous to the present election held
good are still to be relied upon, there is
no justification for the Democratic
claims of having carried the state If
the ratio of Republican gain continues
to the end of the count Mckinley will
have approximately 10000 plurality in
the state.
In Iowa, as far as can be seen from
the returns at present, the Republican
plurality has been very large, not far
either way from $4,000.
Ohio, which has all along been
claimed by Chairman Jones as state
in which Bryan would push Mckinley
very close, has given the. Republican
candidate an over whelming plurality
Cut Down a Republican Majority.
In Michigan the election has resulted
in a reduced vote for the Republican
ticket. The free silver papers of De-
troit concede the state to Mckinley by
$4,000. The last previous vote in the
state was in 1895, when Moore, the Re
publican candidate for justice of the
supreme court, had plurality of II, 4S7
over McGrath, his Democratic rival.
West Virginia is confidently claimed
by the Republicans, and the chairman
OF the Democratic state central COM
mittee has conceded the state to Nc
Kinley.
Tennessee presents some of the inter
esting features of the campaign. The
state at large is claimed by both par
ties, and because of the length of the
ticket the returns are coming in Sc
slowly that neither side seems entirely
justified in claiming the electoral vote
with any confidence.
North Carolina is claimed by both
parties, but as in Tennessee the returns
are very slow and no definite con-
clusion is possible at present.
Some Democratic States.
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi
Alabama and Louisiana are all fol-
Bryan by about the normal Democratic
majorities.

question be Bryan, but they have been

CHICAGO, Nov 5.-The returns from
the entire country, although incomplete
In some states, are of a nature to insure
the election of Mckinley. A sufficient
number of states have declared for the
Republican party to make certain 1858
votes in the electoral college for its
leader. The states where votes are
sure for him are as follows:

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-Complete re-

that the official count will show much
variation from these figures.
