bill and SO do not know what opinion

defeated by more than 100000. The
State outside Chicago shows unexpected
Republican gains. Wisconsin gives Nc
Kinley a plurality of 100000, and later
returns may raise these figures. Indiana
is claimed by 10000 and Michigan by
$1,000. Iowa gives 1900 and Minnesota
adds $4,000 more. In the East the Nc
Kinley majorities are tremendous. Penn

rality approaching 100000. New York is
estimated at 275,O00 in the latest returns.
Massachusetts has given 16S,OOO, and all

William Mckinley has been elected
President of the United States. His
total vote in the electoral college, accord
ing to returns at hand when this is writ
ten, will be 2G3, with kentucky and
Wyoming still in doubt. Whichever side
wins in Kentucky, conservative judges
say the plurality will not be over 1000.
In Tennessee the figures seem to bear
out Democratic claims of victory for
Bryan by at least 10000. The Mckinley
people present totalized figures by Sec
tons tending to prove that the Ohioan's
plurality will be several thousand, but it
would seem, judging by the returns, that
the burden of proof rests upon them.
Whether Mckinley has over 2G3 votes
in the electoral college depends upon the
official returns from two States. In Ken
lucky the result hinges upon the vote in
two counties, in the extreme eastern part
of the State-a mountainous, "moonshin-
ing" region, in which there are neither
railroads nor telegraph lines. But even
with these counties heard from the con-
test is SO close that nothing short of the
official canvass will be decisive. The
plurality for either ticket will be n Of
hundreds-probably less than 800. The
conflicting claims of the rival State chair
men go for nothing. Wyoming, which
was first thought safely to be in the
Bryan column, although by a narrow
margin, is now counted among the Nc
Kinley States. The plurality will be
about 800, and the Legislature will be
of the same party faith. The situation
in Wyoming, however, is substantially
the same as that in Kentucky. The dis
trict still to be heard from is 200 miles
from q telegraph Office and the missing
returns may not be received for some
time. Should Bryan carry both Kentucky
and Wyoming Mckinley will still have
u majority considerably more than enough
to give him possession of the White
House for four years to come.
Early returns indicating the result of
the presidential election were from the
cities where Mckinley and Hobart made
their heaviest gains. Returns received
from the country districts, where the free
silver idea had gained greatest currency,
CONSIDERABLY reuuce curly eStluuuteS Oh
Republican pluralities in several of the
States. The returns, however. show that
Mckinley not only carried all the "doubt-
full" States of the middle West from Ohio
to. Iowa, together with New York and the
New England States, but that he in
vaded the States of Maryland, Kentucky,
West Virginia and, possibly, Tennessee,
either winning in all of these States OF
making such gains as must give him a
signally large popular vote. He carried
every State in the great region lying east
of the Missouri and north of the Ohio

giving on the question OF Indian leg
islation, and particularly concerning
the Dawes commission bill, which il
has under consideration. Ex-Repre-
sentative Peel of Arkansas appeared
as attorney for the Choctaws and
Chickasaws. He addressed his argu-
ment almost wholly against the bill,
and said that the Dawes commission
had gone into the territory prejudiced
and determined to do the work set
before il, that of abOlishing the In
dian government. Colonel Peel con
fessed that there was some reason
for desiring to change the present
methods of governme1 ut in the Indian
Territory, but he held that the Dawes
commission bill went entirely too
far and would involve great injustice
to the Indians.
