IN DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 3.-Returns
from this city and all over the State
are very slow. Those received from a
few precincts in this city show slight
Republican losses on the Presidential
vote, as compared with the vote for Gov
ernor in 1894, when MarviI (Rep.l had
1000 majority. 1t is believed, however,
that the Republicans elect the Presiden-
tial electors by at least 1000 majority.

gressman, is also probably elected.

BRYAN'S FLORIDA MAJORITY.
Jacksonville. Nov. Bryan and Sew
all carry Florida by majority over Me-
Kinley closely estimated at 1900 to A.,
500, as against a majority of 1S,900 for
Bloxham Dem), for Governor over
Gunby (Rep.), in the State election 0c-
tober y. The returns received tonight
covering one-fourth of the State, show
q loss of about per cent. in the Demo
cratic vote, and gain of 30 per cent. in
the Republican. The figures for 127 pre-
cincts, including the cities of Jacksonville.
Tampa, Key West and Pensacola, give
Bryan 1854. against 10,10S for Bloxham
in the State election, and Mckinley
5,391, against 3,S70 for Gunby in October
The Populist vote almost vanished
amounting to only 347 in the same pre-
cincts. The gold standard Democratic
ticket developed no strength outside Of
the cities and large towns. The 127 pre-
cincts reported gave the Palmer and
Dem.), in the First district, shrdlhHdhr
(Dem.), in the Second, are elected to Com
gress by large majorities. The election
passed off without race or other friction,
under the operation of the Australian bal
lot system.
ILLINOIS NOT CONCEDED.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov 3.-At 9:45 Secretary
Nelson, of the Democratic State Central
committee, had received no reports from
county chairmen. Press reports indicated
Il majority of $4,000 for Mckinley in
Cook county and this was generally con
ceded by the committee. No reports on
which even an. estimate of the State
outside of Cook county had been re-
ceived, but the committee still claims
35, 900 for Bryan. The vote by precincts
run ten per cent below the registration.
This bears out a report that the returns
so far as received are only on the
straight Democratic and Republican tick
cts, omitting the Peoples party from
which the committee counts on $4,000
votes.
Altgeld in sixty precincts, has run 5000
ahead of Bryan and on this basis the
committee claims his election, even though
Bryan should lose the State by 10000.
Secretary Nelson says that he will con
cede nothing until he has received re.
ports from his own chairmen and these
are not expected before midnight.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 3.-Chas. w. Fair
banks, of Indiana sends the following
message: Returns received at midnight
indicate that Mckinley has carried In
diana by plurality of $4,000. The Re
publicans have carried both branches OF
the Legislature. They have also elected
II of the 13 members OF Congress.
Chicago, Nov. 3--At 2:30 o'clock, the
Republican officials at headquarters
closed their doors for the night, satisfied
that Illinois had gone between 100000
and 10000 for Mckinley, and about
the same for Tanner for Governor.
