TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. AT two
o'clock returns from only 81 precincts
out of 2, 15s in Kansas had been re-
ceived at republican headquarters
They showed a gain for G ov. Morrill,
of LOG votes over that of two years ago,
while McKinley's vote was the same as
the governors two years ago. On this
percentage Mckinley will carry the
state by 1000, and Morrill, by 10, 900.
For chief justice ofsthe supreme court,
Judge Carver is running ahead of the
governor.
The republicans still claim the state
for Mckinley and the republican tick
ct, and also claim seven congressman
and five judges of the appellate court.
In the First congressional district
Broderick's election is conceded, while
the republicans claim Harris will win
in the Second district, Kirkpatrick in
the Third district, Curtis in the Fourth,
Ca1derhead in the Fifth and Long in
the Seventh. The defeat of Ellis in
the Sixth is no doubt assured.
The populists also concede the cleo
ton of Abijah Wells for appellate
judge, but claim the other five. The
republicans assert that they will elect
all the appellate judges. with the pos
sible exception of the one in the north
west part of the state. Returns
are coming in SO slowly that it is
absolutely impossible at this time to
give any figures as to the Legislature
The republicans claim they will have
good majority, however.
Chairman Briedenthai, of the pom
ulist state committee, is confident that
the state has gone for Bryan and fu-
sion. THE reports from scattering
precincts he said, 'show marked re-
publican losses and confirm my ante
election predictions We have carried
the state for Bryan and elected the flu
sion state ticket by safe majorities- 1
believe we have elected seven of eight
congressman. The republicans prob
ably elected Frederick in the First dis
trict. am confident we have carried
the legislature" Chairman Love, of
the democratic committee, said that he
thought Mr.. Breidentha1 had stated
the situation correctly. Mr.. Love has
a telegram from Arkansas City. an
nouncing the election of Brown (fu-
sion) over Beekman (rep) for repro
sentative from Cowley county.
Indications are that Mckinley has
carried Leavenworth county by 500
plurality. Gov. Morrill, has run far
ahead of the national ticket. but the
returns from the country precincts are
tardy, owing to the great length of the
ticket. Broderick (rep.). for congress-
man, runs up with Morrill,.
Shawnee county rolled up the usual
republican majority. The count is
progressing slowly on account of the
big ballot. but if the percentage is
main tanned Mckinley VIII have $500
majority. Morrill's majority will
reach 2.7OO according to Indications.
while Curtis for congress will get even
a larger majority. Sterne (rep) has
been elected senator, and McKeever,
Brooks and Larimer.
Indications are that Mckinley has
carried Douglas county by 1000 plur-
atty, republican gain of 200 votes
over 1894. Morrill, has probably car
ried the county by 1,15O, a republican
probably has 1, $50 plurality for con-
gress- Henley and Barber, both re-
publicans, are elected representatives,,
and johnson (rep.), state senator.
Indication are that Mckinley has
carried Montgomery county by $50
plurality, a fusion gain of SO over 1892.
Morrill, has probably carried the coun-
ty by 200 plurality, republic gain
of $50 over 1894. Kirkpatrick rep
probably has 1e5 plurality for con-
gress- Guilkey (rep) probabl elected
representative, and Fulmer (rep.) state
senator.
A telegram from Hutchinson says:
Two wards of Hutchinson, the city of
Niclerson and seven country precincts
give Mckinley 200 majority. Indica-
tions are Mckinley carries Reno coun-
ty by 500, the state ticket by the same,
with Long. for congl ess, slightly ahead
of Mckinley. Dispatches from coun-
ties west, without complete returns,
indicate that it is close between Lon g
and Simpson, depending upon the vote
in Sedgwick and Sumner counties.
Indications are that Bryan has car
ried Sumner county by $50. Simpson
(fusion), for congress, will have ma
jority over Long (rep.). Lawrence
(rep.) and Harbaugh (fusion) are elect
ed representatives, and Forney (fusion)
probably elected state senator.
Indications are Bryan has carried
Sedgwick county by 1000 fusion gain
over 1894. Leedy has proba bly, carried
the county by 1000 plurality, fusion
gain over 1894. Sim pson probably has
same plurality for congress. Charles
