nave nnalfy gwen up kansas completely,
not only conceding the election of Bryan
electors by about 5000, but giving up the
whole state ticket, headed by Leedy,
Populist, for governor, by something near
1000. The Populists also gain the legis-
lature, and FIVE, and probably six, of the
eight congressman. The Second con-
gressonal district is in doubt and claim
ed by both parties. Accurate returns
must come from the state board.
1t is the most disastrous defeat the Re-
publicans of Kansas have ever suffered.
In former elections since 1890 when they
began to meet adversely, they have n>,n-
aged to save something out of the wreck.
In 1890 they saved the governor and had
a hold-over senator from the election of
1885, In 1892 they saved the house, losing
the governor and the senate John Mar
tin, Democrat, went to the United States
| senate to join PETER, Populist, and
Populist took seat beside two Repub
leans on the supreme bench. In 1894
they won the governor and the house,
but the senate was still Populistic, al
though the Republicans had a major
ity on joint ballot, which retired Martin
from the United States senate.
governor both branches of the legis-
lature, and consequently the United
States senator, five of the six judges of
the appellate court and the election OF
Dorchester to be the chief justice, gives
the Populists majority on the supreme
bench. In addition, all the judicial candi-
dates in the districts which elected this
year have been carried by the fusionists,
as have nearly all of the coutny officers.

SOUTH DAKOTA
| YANKTON. Nov. Cat 10 o'clock to-
night South Dakota's vote on president
ial electors is tied and an official count
| will be required to determine the re-
suit. The Republican managers have
| closed their office with the above declar-
alton. Any claim of the Populists that
| this state is for Bryan is not justified by
| the returns. Corrections and changes in
| three precincts not yet heard from may
| give the electors to either Bryan or Nc
Kinley. The Republican congressman
and governor ran ahead of the electors
| by several hundred votes SO far as heard
from, and they may have safe majori-
! ties, ....
OREGON
PORTLAND, Nov. 6.-Complete re-
! turns from every county in Oregon give

thought that the complete returns will
| be in before next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Kinley elector is assured, and two Nc

LEXINGTON, Ky. Nov. 6.-Chair-
man Roberts of the Republican commit

| from 100 counties and unofficial returns
| from the remaining nineteen counties

| At an earlier hour Chairman Johnson
| of the Democratic committee says he
was not yet ready to congratulate Chair

| been made against Bryan in the returns
| sufficient to turn the scale in his favor
