THE VICTORY IN INDIANA.


THE VICTORY IN INDIANA
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Chairman W. ID.
Bynum and Secretary John p. Fren-
eel of the Gold Standard Democratic
National Committee were at head
quarters in the Palmer House to-day
receiving congratulations.
1.-The Republican victory in Indi-
ana was largely due the Sound Money
Democrats, and they are entitled to
much af the credit for it," said Mr..
Bynum. I'VE certainly rejoice in the
defeat of Bryan, as it vindicates all
our claims. There will be no necess-
ity of our having the rumored Ma
tional Convention and none is likely
to take place. | cannot Just now
state when the national committee
will meet"
KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. AT this hour,
s o'clock, Kentucky seems safe for
Mckinley, though the majority is
very close. In ,265 precincts out of
1868 his plurality is 1896.
The counties not heard from are
Leslie, Floyd, Johnson, Knott, Ma
gofflu, Pike, Butler, Greenup, Harri-
son, jackson, Owen and part of
Henry.
These include some strong Republi-
can as well as strong silver counties,
but the heavy Republican gains
everywhere seem to make the State
safe for Mckinley, though the result
may be close Taking the estimate
of the missing counties made several
days ago by Chairman SOmmers of
the Democratic Committee, the Nc
hinley majority of the missing vote
is 1928. This would give the State to
Mckinley by 4,744. The Democratic
estimate of the missing counties is a
majority for Bryan of 1926 and for
Mckinley of 3,O87.
LATER AND BETTER.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 4.-Returns
from the doubtful counties missing
early this morning have been receiv-
ed, and they indicate beyond doubt
that Mckinley is the victor in Ken
lucky by not less than 5000 plurality
Tremendous Republican gains are
shown in the mountain counties.
while the figures from the silver
strongholds do not exceed the pre-
vious estimates. The Republicans
say the Eleventh district will come
down with $4,000 Republican major
ity. If so the State will be Republi-
can by over 1000.
WEST VIRGINIA
WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 4.-West
Virginia gives Mckinley about 10, 900
majority; and Atkinson for Governor
about $4,000. The whole Republican
state ticket is elected; and solid Re
publican delegation to congress,--con-
sisting of Dayton, Dovener, Dorr and
Miller
KANSAS.
Topeka, KAN, Nov. AT a. III. it
seems practically certain that BRYAN
has carried Kansas by small major
ity. Chairman Bridenthal of the
Democratic State Committee claims
the state by $4,000. Chairman Simp-
son of the Republican State Commit
tee, however, refuses to surrender, and
declares that complete returns will
show victory for the Republicans
re al 10 oil
Congressman in the Third, Fifth,
Sixth, and Seventh districts by ma
jorities of from $500 to 5000. The
First district is conceded to Broder-
icl, (Rep.) and the classed doubtful
Returns generally indicate Republi-
can losses.
NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, n. c., Nov 4.-Returns
up to 2 a. III. indicated Bryan carried
North Carolina by 10000 Republi-
cans at that hour, however. would
not concede the State
NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, NEB., Nov. Awhile Bryan
has probably carried Nebraska by Il
small plurality, Republicans are not
conceding that fact, since less than
300 of 1854 precincts in the State have
been heard from a definite result can
not be known before night, but Bryan
is steadily gaining, with most of the
remote rural districts yet to hear from
1t is conceded that Bryan's greatest
strength is there, and it will probably
overcome the 1000 plurality Mckinley
has in Omaha.
The feature of the contest is the
enormous vote polled, probably 10
per cent. heavier than at any previous
time. This is attributed to that eIe-
ment which has heretofore refused to
participate in elections, but which the
financial issue this campaign brought
to the front. As result of the gen
erous manner in which the state
ticket was scratched, little can be de-
