Returns received Indicate that Mckinley
has carried the state by the largest plural
ity ever known The vote on the state ticket
falls below that for the presidential. for the
reason that the gold Democrats have no
state ticket in the field to offset the fusion
of the Populists and silver Democrats. Rel
atlyely. however, the plurality for the Re.
publican state ticket is the largest in tho
history of the state
George w. Peck of Milwaukee wired the
Associated Press as follows:
.'McKinley has carried Wisconsin by a
comfortable majority. & :cfeld for governor
will no doubt pull through very close to
Mckinley botn of them and every other
Republican 1 have heard Of will have ma
jority enough to be considered safe, say
100, 600, or along there somewhere. In 9TH
err respects we are quite well. thank you.
When you are going to have any more cleo
lions you should send us an invitation"
The changes made by fuller returns from
nearly all the counties of the state and
closer estimates ON the remaining counties
show an increased majority for the Repub.
lican presidential ticket in Wisconsin. Al
most every county shows increased plurali-
ties on complete returns. The most
striking reduction is that in Douglas coun-
ty, where the estimates Of 1900 are re-
duced below 100. The Republican gains in
the old Democratic counties of the Eastern
part of the state are increased by the later
returns The Indications are now that the
present plurality for the Republican presi-
Dental ticket 95,935, will be increased by
the returns yet to come In.
