ADDITIONAL ELEC TON NEWS
TEXAS.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 3.-The election passed off quietly with full vote. Local tickets were so mixed that the count pro- ceeds slowly, and in the city will not be completed until morning. Complete re- turns from the Third ward give Bryan a majority of over Mckinley. Cleve- lands plurality in the same ward two years ago was S2. Complete returns from the Fourth ward give Bryan plurality; the same ward four years ago gave Cleve- land plurality. Ten years ago the dem- ocratic plurality for governor in the same ward was 155. Indications are that Me Kinley will carry the city and county by a small plurality. Savers, democrat, for congress, will have a large majority in the city and county.
 State Chairman Blake, democrat, at this hour, @ D. m) estimates Bryanu' plurality at 100000, and Culberson, for governor will have 75,000 He says a solid democratic congressional delegation of thirteen members has been returned. No definite returns can be expected be- fore tomorrow.

TEXAS.


 Austin, Tex, Nov. 3.-Returns from over the state come slowly. Those re- ceived up to II o'clock show an increase in the opposition to the democratic tick ct of at least 40000 and should it be kept up, Mckinley will carry the state. fPriL vate telegrams indicate the state will be close but democrats will claim that Bry- an and Sewall will carry it by 25, 900 ma jority. They also claim that Culberson (dem) for Governor will be elected by 40,- 900, but returns thus far do not sustain the estimate. Partial returns from con gressional districts indicate the election of Gross (rep.) in the Eleventh, and Noonan in the Twelfth. Hawley (rep) in the Thirteenth claims he is elected. h. dications are good for the election of Say CTS (dem) in this the Ninth district. He will carry this city and county by a large majority.
 The Galveston News comedies the elec- tion of the Bryan and Sewall electors; also the election of Culberson, silver dem ocrat for Governor.

WATT FOR THE HORSE MAIL Chairman Jones Says Bayan is
 Surely Elected. INDIANA GOES FOR BRYAN, While Tennessee Remains True to Her Be-
 loved Traditions. HOLD YOUR TICKETS TIGHTLY, BOYS. The Race IS Not Yet Lost-The Masses in the Outer Districts Are Yet to Be Heard From.
HOLD YOUR TICKETS TIGHTLY, BOYS

Chicago, H., Nov. 3.-Chairman Jones,
 shortly before midnight gave out the following: "We have received no unfa-
 vorable reports from any state we have
 claimed except Kentucky. We can afford
 to lose Kentucky and still have enough
 electoral votes to win.
 There is no foundation for the claims
 of the republicans. There Is at this time
 no reason to think that anyone of the
 states claimed by me for MT. Bryan has failed to vote for him. While mislead- ing reports are being sent in all direc- tions, private advices assure us that each one of these states has gone for MT. Bryan. For two hours the most ex- travagant claims as to Kentucky and Indiana have been telegraphed all over the country, while within the last few minutes our committees assure us that both states are safe for us. Mr. Bryan Is certainly elected"
 To this was added by MT. D. W. Bar rett, of the literary bureau: "We have
 just received from the chairman of the state central committee of Indiana a dis
 paoch to the effect that Indiana is abso- lutely safe for Bryan"
 Allen w. Clark, secretary of the state committee of Indiana, telephoned: "Six- ty-five Indianapolis precincts heard from show an average republican gain of elev- en to precinct. Fifteen country pre- cincts heard from show a democratic gain of about forty to each precinct I believe the democrats have carried the state. I do not expect returns from country dis tricts until late"

PENNSYLyANIA.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 9.-Returns from Pennsylvania counties are coming in very slowly, but indications from fg- ures are of plurality in the state Tor Mckinley of nearly 3O0,000. The twenty one congressional districts heard from show the election of twenty republicans and one democrat. With the two con gressmen at-large this gives the republi- cans twenty-two congressman certain with chances even for them in most Of the remaining eight districts.
 The republican city committee conceded Crows election for Sheriff.

national democratic party had no elec- toral Ii ket in the field. Chairman Coop CT. of the republican state central com- mittee, comedies Bryan's majority at 45,- 000 while the democratic committee say it will reach 60,0O0. The election of the entire democratic congressional ticket is also conceded by Chairman Cooper.
 Little Rock gives Bryan S4S majority. This county goes 1.500 for Brayn. Greene, Johnson, Clay, Jackson, Prairie and Garland counties give Bryan average ma jorlties of 10000 each. These are the only counties giving figures of the vote cast. Many republicans in Fulton county voted the republican tickte.

SOIITH CAROIINA.

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 3.-The election in South Carolina vii show overwhelm- ingly for Bryan that very little interest was shown and that the returns to the newspapers are fragmentary. But It can be stated with confidence that Bryan's vote is thre times as large as the com bined opposition, and evry congressman vii be overwhelmingly democratic.

IOWA.

Des Moines, Ia., Nov 3.-Iowa returns up to 9:30 are chiefly from rural pre- cincts. They indicate uniform and great republican gains. The republican state committee now claims the state by 100,- 900 and the democrats still refuse to make a statement, declaring that returns are not sufficiently complete. They admit, however that the situation is against them. Indications from returns are that the republicans elect all the eleven Iowa congressman. The Palmer vote in the state is very light, sound" money dem ocrats having almost all voted for Me- KinIav

UTAH

Salt Lake City, Utah., Nov. 3.-Exceed- ingly meagre returns are to hand at this hour, but such as have been received are reliable. Estimates show that Bryan and Sewall have carried Utah by 10000 to 45, 900 majority and King (dem.) is elected to congress by probably 10000 majority. The legislature is in doubt. But it is certain the democrats have made great gains and it is probable they will have a majority on joint ballot, but it will be close heavy vote was boiled and the outlying districts not yet heard from will favor the republicans in the legislature.

TENNESSEE.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. S.-The repub- licans surprised themselves in East Ten nessee today. Brownlow was efected 10 congress from the First dlstrict ana CID uo son is reelected in the Second; both are republicans. Returns from East Tennes- see counties show increased republican gains giving a majority of 4o,OO0 to Me KinIey and the same for Tillman, repubii- can candidate for Governor. The repup, licans put up a strong fight and it would not be surprising if Robert l.. Taylor IS defeated. His home county, Washington, went against him by 1000 majority.

NEBRASKA.

NEBRASKA.
 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.--Out of the ap- parent republican avalanche in neighbor- ing states Nebraska has seemingly re- mained true to her favored son. MT. Bryan has, on the face of the scattering returns, carried the state by from 5000 to 12,000.
 Chairman Post. of the republican com mittee, declines to concede defeat, but the figures disprove his claims. Unless surprising republican gains are made in back counties the fusion electoral as well as the state ticket has geined the day.
 Lincoln Neb., Nov. 3.-Mr. Bryan re- ceived the returns at his residence this evening. He had slept well most of the afternoon and felt well refreshed when the news began coming in. Two Postal Telegraph wires had been run into MT. Bryan's residence, one connecting with the democratic national headquarters in Chicago and the other for regular bulle tins. Both instruments, an operator at each, were placed in the library, while in the adjoining dining room Western Union operator received the bulletins fur niShed by that company. It had been understood among the friends of the dem- ocratic candidate that he was to be left alone on election night, and as a conse- quence none of the local reporters or neigh bors of TIr. Bryan gathered at the little D street residence.
 After supper MT. Bryan put on a velvet jacket and went up stairs to the private office he has established since his nomin- ation. Mrs. Bryan remained with him there during the evening, husband and wife receiving the bulletins fresh from the wire and reading and comparing them together. MT. Schwind, the candi- dates secretary, and a dozen newspaper men occupied the library. The wire connecting with democratic headquarters was idle nearly all the time. A few dis patches for MT. Bryan came from Chair man Jones early in the evening. Their purport was not made known by MT. Bry- an, but he said that if anything import ant was received from the Arkansas sen ator he would give 1t to the press
 At fifteen minutes after midnight MT. Bryan fell asleep and it was decided not to awaken him till morning. No state ments and no private dispatches will be given out till morning.

KENTITCKY


 Louisville, Ky, Nov. 3.-The returns of the Courier-Journal and Evening Times and the republican state committee lndl- cate that Mckinley has carried Ken lucky by at least 7,500. Republican land slides are reported from many counties which have heretofore been democratic strongholds. At 10 o'clock Mckinley s plurality is growing every minute. The returns from the free silver stronghoids, Davies and Henderson counties, show heavy republican gains. It will not be surprising if McKinley's plurality is 2O,- GOO.
 At this hour 1t looks as though Col. w. c. P. Breckenridge is defeated for con gress in the Seventh district.
 One hundred and thirty-three out of 137 precincts in the city of Louisville give Mckinley 33,S71; Bryan, 14,2S5. Louis vile in 1892 gave Cleveland 17,2S6; Harri- son, 11,S70. The returns from this state are coming in slowly One hundred and thirty-nine out of 1,663 precincts in the state show a republican gain of 4,101 over 1885,
 In this city Mayor George D. Todd, re- publican, is reelected by 5000 plurality over Charles D. Jacob, independent.
 There are no complete returns in from any congressional district except this, the Fifth, which re-elects Walter Evans, re- publican. by about 6,000 plurality

If the weather changes in the next few days, and that change affects the mercury to the extent that it will prance toward it's hole, then we shall have colder weather We know this much and so does the average man, but he waits just the same until Old Boreas shrieks and roars him out of house and home. A friendly word of warning now is, to have weather strips put on your doors and windows before the extreme weather gets here.
