Pingree Runs Ahead.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 6.-The total
vote Of Michigan appears to have been,
in round numbers, 4s5, 700, Of which for
governor, Pingree received 275,000;
Shgh, 2O5,O00. Pingree's actual plur
ality has increased to 10000. McKin-
ley's is about 10000 less on account,
presumably of the Bryan and Pingree
vote, which shows considerable ele-
ment which favored Bryan also voted
for him. The Legislature is estimated to
stand as follows: Senates 26 Republicans,
s, Fusionists; house, soE Republicans 20

Bryan's majority in the state will be
$4,000 and Holcomb's s about $4,000. The
fact that Holcomb runs ahead of Bryan
is attributed to the confusion incident to
the court decision against the regularity
of the Chicago ticket. The Populists
and Democrats concede the election of
Strobe (Rep.) to congress from the First
district, and of Mercer (Rep.) in the
Second. Fusion candidates carried all
the other congressional districts by large
majcrities. Republican Chairman Post
claims that the Bryan majority in the
state will not exceed 5000.

} CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Chairman Jones
issued the following statement last
night: "The result Of the presidential
election is apparently no longer in doubt.
1t has been one of the closest contests
that the people have been called on to
determine III recent years. We have
claimed the election on our advices from
states that were admittedly in doubt.
1t seems now to be apparent that Mr..
Bryan, after making the most brilliant
campaign in the history of our country
and having carried most Of the states
claimed to be doubtful has not carried
enough to assure his success i'll the elec-
toral college. Thus, this remarkable
campaign closes with the election Of
William Mckinley"

OMAHA, Nov S.-Official returns from
Nebraska continue to come III with eX-
asperating slowness, but nearly all Of the
larger counties have been received.
Nothing in the later returns shows q
tendency to decrease the plurality given
Mr.. Bryan. He Will have over 10000
more votes in tho state than has oI,iseon-
ent. Governor Holcomb' S vote is con-
siderably i'll advance Of that giye.s to
Nh Bryan, and the entire state ticket is
elected by good majority. The consti-
tutional amendments are hopelessly
beaten. The returns Of the Nebraska
legislature show in the senate Repub-
licans and 26 fusion. In the house there
are 81 Republicans, 66 fusion and gold
Democrat.

Republican to Succeed Perkins.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 8.-With the official
returns from 116 of the 119 counties Of
the state and unofficial returns from the
balance Mckinley now leads Bryan
in Kentucky by 452 votes, and the Off
cial returns are not expected to mate
rally alter the total given. These fig
ures must stand until the state canvass
ing board decides the various contests
and investigates the numerous charges
of fraud. The silver Democrats are still
claiming the state, basing their cham on
1860 plurality for Mckinley in the
Eleventh congressional district. They
give no table of the vote by counties,
but simply assert that the above figures
are correct. On the other hand, the Re
pub]icans give figures from the counties
from the Eighteenth district, only two
counties unofficial and estimate the
total at 14,3SO.
A complication has arisen that will
likely divide the electoral vote on the
basis of - for Mckinley and one for
Bryan This is due to the fact that
number put the stencil mark opposite
the name Of the first elector instead Of
under the party device, thus causing the
head of each ticket to run ahead of their
colleagues. In this way the foremost
Democratic elector, w. B. Smith gets
more votes than the hindmost Repub.
ican elector.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 10.-Headquarters
of both the Republican and Democratic
campaign committees are closed, it be-
ing conceded now that on the face OF
official returns from Is Of the 119 coun-
ties, that Mckinley has carried the state.
The official returns from the missing
counties will not alter the general result.
Chairman Roberts figures Mckinley s
plurality at 444, saying that the official
returns from the IA counties will i'll
! crease this figure.
