committee says: 1.-THE Republican
state committee claims Kentucky by
1000 majority. The Democrats will go
to the Eleventh district with 1880
majority in their favor. Returns from
over half the counties Of the district
already assure considerably over 1000

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-Chairman
Martin of the Democratic state COM
mittee claims that it will require the
official count to determine the result in
Indiana. At that hour he had received
returns from 81 of the 80 counties,
showing plurality of S,S17 for McKin-
ley. These did not include Marion
county, which would increase McKin-
ley's plurality to about $4,000. Chair
man Gowdy claims the state for Nc
Kinley by at least $4,000. 1t is safe to
say that McKinley's plurality in In
diana will not be less than $4,000 nor
more than $4,000. The Republican
state titket is also elected by a safe
majority.

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
a 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. He read
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.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 5.-Incom-
plete returns received during the day
continue to show Republican gains and
there is no reason to change the esti-
mate of $1,000 plurality. All four Re-
publican candidates for congress are
undoubtedly elected by increased ma
jorities. Atkinson, Rep, for governor
and the state Republican state ticket is
elected and both branches of the legis.
lature are Republican. The gold Dem
ocrats generally voted the Republican

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
vas 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 275, 1000 and 2SO,O00. 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
175, 900.
Altgeld Badly Beaten.
In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has
been badly defeated, but is not buried
60 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 overwhelming plurality.
Cut Down . Republican Majority.
In Michigan the election has resulted
in reduced vote for the Republican
ticket. The free silver papers of De-
troit concede the state to Mckinley by
Is, 900. The last previous vote in the
state was in 1896, when Moore, the Re.
publican candidate for justice Of the
supreme court, had q plurality Of u, 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 so
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-
olusion is possible at present.
Some Democratic States.
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana are all for
Bryan by about the normal Democratic
majorities.
The Virginia electors win, without
question be Bryan. but theY have been
