themselves that it was only by a union

obtain the reforms paternalism pre-

The most phenomenal thing in the

THE LATEST RETURNS.

The immense labor of compiling the
returns Of a national election is wit
messed by the slowness with which
final and official reports are received
from every portion Of the country.
There is nothing, however, to change
the complexion of the result as an
nounced in these columns yesterday,
or to moderate the Importance or the
conclusiveness of the victory won by
the cause of sound money. It is not
probable that there will be any change
in the table of electoral votes published
by the G o b this morning. Mr.. Nc
Kinley will receive not less than 259
votes, and Mr.. Bryan not more than
1877. This is on the assumption that the
latter carries every state about which
any doubt still exists. All the talk
about uncertainty in Indiana or Mich
igan is mere moonshine; and Mr. Bryan
himself exhibits saving common
| sense and manliness in practically re-
| jecting the absurd proclamations which
| that very absurd person, Senator Jones,
is still issuing to the country. The es-
innate gives Kansas, Kentucky and
Washington to Bryan, although the
vote is close, and any or all of them
may go for Mckinley AS to the 259
votes assigned to him, they are just as
certain as if they had been cast and
counted in congress and the result an
nounced by the speaker Of the house.
The verdict Of the people is complete.
That the next house will be Repub-
lican by majority nearly or quite as
! great as the present is also assured.
The vote on the state ticket in Min
nesota, as it comes in, justifies the es-
innate Of the situation made by the
G e. The careful canvass which
1T made Of the state foreshadowed with
wonderful exactness the condition of
popular opinion as told by the ballots

v1ous that the official report may vary

is possible, Though it seems now very
unlikely. that the full returns might

remaining counties show an increased
majority fer the Republican presiden-

county shows increased pluralities on

reduction is that in Douglas county,
where theestimates Of 1,200 are reduced
