was: Cleveland, D., 29,S44; Harrison, R.. u,

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov 3.-While the
count of the vote progresses slowly indi-
cations are that Bryan has carried this
State and that James Hamilton Lewis,
Seattle, and w. C. Jones, Spokane, Con-
gressional candidates. have been elected.
The contest between Gubernatorial candi-
dates John r. Rogers, Pullayup, fusion,
and Potter Charles Sullivan is close.
Democrats, Populists and Free-silver Re-
publicans fused on the basis of two electors
for the Populists and two for the DEM
ocrats. 1t is estimated that the DEM
ocrats and Populists polled each three
eighths and the Free-silver Republicans
two-eighths. This city has probably been
carried by Mckinley and Sullivan, and
possibly King County. Repu blicans claim
Sullivan has carried Tacoma and Pierce
County by 1900 majority. Bryan appears
TO have carried Spokane City and county
by good majority, and number of other
Eastern Washington counties.
In proportion to registrati ton the largest
vote in the history of The State has been
cast. During the first two or three hours
following the opening OF the polls more
than half the vote was polled. In some
portions rain prevailed, but IN this Sec

Bryan residence, one connected with
Democratic headquarters In Chicago and
the other for bulletins. Both instruments,
an operator at each, were placed in the
library, while in the adjoining room a
Western Union operator received the
bulletins furnished by that company.
1t was understood among the friends of
Mr.. Bryan that he was to be left alone on
ell ection night, and as consequence none
OF the local supporters or neighbors of the
candidate gathered at the little G-street
residence. After supper Mr.. Bryan put
on a velvet house-ia jacket and went upstairs
to the private Office he has established
since his nomination.
Mrs. Bryan remained with him during
the evening, husband and wife receiving
the bulletins fresh from the wire and read
ing and comparing them together. Mr..
Schwind, the candidates secretary, and
a dozen newspaper men occupied the
library. The wire connecting with Demo
cratic headquarters was idle nearly all the
time. A lew dispatches for Mr.. BRYAN
came from Chairman Jones early in the
evening. Their purport was not made
known by Mr.. Bryan, but he said that il
anything important was received from the
Arkansas Senator he would give it to the
press.
Chairman Dahlman of the Democratic
State Central Committee has sent mes
sage to Mr.. Bryan, saying that he had car
ried Nebraska by 5000 and that the indi-
cations point to the election of the entire
State ticket

private advices assure US that each one of
these States mas gone for Mr. Bryan. For
two hours the most extrayagant claims as
to Kentucky and Indiana have been tele-
graphed all'over the country. while within
the last few minutes our committees as.
sure US that both States are safe for US.
Mr.. Bryan is certainly elected.

cept Kentucky. We can afford to lose
votes to win."
To this was added by E. W. Barrett of
the literary bureau: 1--WE have just re-
ceIved message from the chairman of
the State Central Committee Of Indiana to
the effect that Indiana is absolutely safe
for Bryan"
Allen w. Clark. secretary of the State
Committee of Indiana, teIephoned: "Sixty.

show an average Republican gain of eleven
to a precinct. Fifteen country precincts
heard from show a Democratic gain of
about forty to each precinct. believe the

CURED IN this view.
The Democratic National Committee also
claims California by $1,000 plurality Ne
braska, Michigan, Kentucky aud Oregon.
The early reports, it was stated, were ex-
pected to show adverse maiorities.
From Ohio the committee reports the
receipt of singuIarly favorable reports
from Toledo and Cleveland, but not SO en-
couraging from Cincinnati. The commit.
tee does not expect full reports from the
doubtful States for two or three days.

Grave Controversies Decided by
the American Election

Grave Controversies Decided by
the American Election.
PARIS, FRANCE, Nov. 3.-The Temps
in it's issue this morning devoted lead
ing editorial on the Presidential election
in the United States, in which 1t says:
When the sun sets to-day the great Republic
will have decided one of the gravest con-
the foundation of the Government. and the
electors Will have pronounced between two
radically opposed tendencies-ope continuing
the normal development of the States and the
other impelling the country toward unknown
horizons. Briefly, as between Mckinley and
Bryan. the solution is simply status quo or
revolution. 1t is the first time in America,
and perhaps the frse4ime in the world, that a
like contest has been engaged in upon ques-
tions lying upon the foundations of social
order wi tn the issue depending upon single
throw of the dice.
The Matin says: Europeans expect
nothing from the triumph of one candi-
date or the other. With Mr.. Bryan we are
exposed to the consequences of free trade,
and with Mckinley we are confronted
with the tariff restrictions.
The Figaro says: The triumph of the
silverites will mean that European
holders OF American securities will receive
for their coupons paper based upon silver
worth in money only so per cent of what
they should receive, and America VIII
appropriate from all Of her creditors half
OF their holdings

Chairman Ham Says Mckinley
VIII Have That Plurality.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. 3.-"McKin-
ley will carry the country by plurality of
1000. O00," was the startling statement
made by Chairman NJ. A. Hanna 10 a
United Associated Presses representative
at 10:10 P. NJ. in the parlors of the Union
Club.
'Yes, the result has exceeded even nv
most sanguine expectations" continued
Mr.. Hanna. II had thought we might
not carry Kentucky ana Tennessee, but
those States have fallen into line nobly.
On the Pacific Coast we have rolled up
magnificent Republican majorities. We
have achieved signal victory in Ne
braska."
"What is the cause Of this overwhelming
Republican Triumph"
why, this campaign has set the people
to'thinking, and the result is healthy
desire for change of conditions which
will bring a renewed prosperity to the in
dustriai classes. Then the free trade and
free silver planks in the Democratic plat
form became hopelessly entangled with
each other. and this prevented clear un-
derstanding OF these issues even by their
earnest supporters. The vital issues of
this campaign have been so cogently and
logically pointed out by the Republican
speakers that the judgment of the masses
cannot go far amiss."
"What is the significance of the result"
"My dear sir, it cannot have but one
significance. 1t means the triumphant
vindication of Repu blican principles and
an honest currency"

Victory OF Republicanism.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3.-The
United Associated Presses has received
the following telegram from Perry Heath.
WHO has been closely associated with
Chairman Hanna in the management of
the campaign:
United Associated Presses, WASHINGTON.
At 9 O'Clock tonight returns safely verify
Chairman Hanna's statement that Nc
Kinley and Hobart will have at least 311
votes in the electoral college. This is a
landslide. There is no doubt about Oregon
being for Mckinley, while the chances
favor our having secured California and
Washington. We have carried Kentucky,
West Virginia, North Carolina and be-
lieve we have Tennessee. We are certain
of every State east Of Colorado and north
of the Ohio River. An important feature
of the indications at this time is that there
will be a straightout, reliable sound
money Republican majority in the Sem
ate. We are certain to have sound.money
Republican Senators succeed Hill of New
York, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Voor-
bees OF Indiana, Black burn of Kentucky.
Palmer of Illinois. Villas of Wisconsin.
PETER of Kansas and Kyle of South Da-
kota. There are now thirteen silver ma.

kilograms of the most encouraging ma
ture poured into the Mckinley residence

there were repeated calls for Major Nc
Kinley over the long distance telephones.
The candidate himself made no predic-
ions and claimed nothing. The arrange
ments for the recep ption of election returns
at the Mckinley residence have been COM
pleted. Half dozen telegraph operators
have been provided for, and the candidate
received the news in his library sur

CANTON. ONO, Nov. AT midnight,
and not a second before, Major Mckinley
admitted publicly that he felt assured of
his election. He made no announcement
of the fact that he believed he had been
chosen to the highest office in the land,
but he allowed his friends to congratulate
him when they pressed about him. They
offered him congratulations early in the
evening, but he gently put aside the pleas
ant words and insisted that he could not
accept congral ula tions till the news seemed
decisive. Major Mckinley made no decla-
ration of any sort; he merely received the
congratulations and thanked his friends
for their good wishes. He did not discuss
the victory or its significance. When the
clubs of Canton marched up to Major Nc
Kinley's house he stepped out on the ver-
snda and reviewed the parade. The cheer
ing was deafening.

the Mckinley residence was one of 300

Breckinrdge spoke to a number of gentle
men standing near the polls and some one
remarked that had not his name been un-

the Colonel. The others, among whom
was Farnsworth, applauded. Colonel
Breckenridge, pointing to Farnsworth, re-
minded him of pledge. A quarrel en-
sued, during which Breckenridge called
Farnsworth q liar and Farnsworth re-
torted with lie. Breckinridge started at
Farnsworth and the latter made lunge
at the Colonel. They were prevented from
doing each other personal violence.
Colonel Breckinridge drew a revolver
when several Silverites gathered around
him in threatening manner, but the
crowd scattered on sight of the weapon.
