over Mckinley closely estimated ut 10,
600 to $4,000, as against Il majority of
49, 900 for BloNham, Democrat, for gov
ernor over Gunby, Republican. The re-
turns .received tonight, covering one
fourth Of the State, show Democratic
loss of per cent. and u Republican gain
of 80 per cent
The Populist vote almost vanished. The
gold standard Democratic ticket devel-
oped no strength outside of the cities and
large towns. The 127 precincts reported
give the Palmer and Buckner electors $50
votes
Sparkman, Democrat, in the First dis
trct, and Davis, Democrat in the Second,
are elected to Congress by large MAORI
ties.
The election passed off without disor-
der, and without friction under the oper.
alton of the Australian ballot system.
The total vote shows considerable in
crease over that cast in October. The
Democratic aggregate will be about PC,
600, and the Republican about 10000.

however, to Indicate surely that NIckin.

In other respects, owing to the division
of the Republican party into two factions
the Democrats have been successful
They have elected Tunnel governor and

majority of the legislature
Wilmington. Del.-Republican State

Those received from Il few precincts in
this city show Slight Republican losses
on the Presidential vote, as compared
with the vote for governor in 1894, when

AN AMBITIOUS RAILROAD SCHEME
MIR. j. PierpOnt Morgan's Proposed
TrnnscOntinental System.

MIR. j, PferpOnt Morgan's Proposed
Trnnscontinental System.
One of the greatest combinations OF rail-
way systems in the wcrld Is now being ar
ranged for under the general direction Of
Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan and President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Railway
Company When it is completed and put
in operation travellers can he carried with
but one change of cars at Chicago, and
freight transported without break Of bulk,
northwestern part of the United States IN
the state of Washington.
The new line will be about 1900 miles in
length. and will be composed of the Norfolk
and Western road, from Norfolk, Va, to
Columbus, Ohio 6S1 miles; Columbus, Hook
ing Valley and Toledo, Columbus to Marion.
20 miles; Chicago and Erie. Marion to Chi
cago, 2f9 miles; Wisconsin Central. Chicago
to St. Paul, 4S2 miles, and Northern Pacific,
2O56 miles, 1t will have many branch lines
as feeders.
The movement has the active sympathy
of many shippers in various lines of busi-
ness, especially of grain men in the east,
as well as the west.
1t will be remembered that it was stated
Morgan was about to arrange for great
transcontinental system, which comprised
the Northern Pacific. Wisconsin Central
and Baltimore and Ohio lines, but the plan
was abandoned, at least so far as the Bal
timore and Ohio was concerned matters
not being managed to Mr.. Morgan's and
Mr.. Spencer's satisfaction. The purchase
followed, and 1t is now to be made, it is
understood, part of the system which 1t
was at first contemplated the B. and O.
