Maine

PORTLAND, Nov. 4.-The election in Maine proved one of the quietest in the states history. Generally the returns show ed a falling of of the Democratic vote and a slight increase in the Republican vote, which accounts in a great measure for the heavy Republican plurality. On the whole the vote showed no material change from that in the recent state election. The vote cast for Palmer and Buokner was not as heavy as anticipated and had little effect on the general result The accurate fig ures of the plurality depend upon returns from remote districts, but 40, 900 Is con sidered as a conservative figure.

BOSTON, Nov. 4.-McKinley's majority over Bryan in Massachusetts Is phenom- enally large, probably 15o, LOGO, and the Republican state ticket is elected by near ly if not quite l30, 900. The Democratic machine, while not allying itself with the Palmer Buckne people, has exerted all its strength against Williams the candi- date of the party for governor. Boston, heavily Democratic always has given Me Kinley a majority of 20 900 and Woloott (tor go ernor) one of 2a, 900. The Palpler and Buckner vote in the entire state Is between I5, 900 and 20. 0O0

 LINCOLN. Nov. | - While Chairman Post Is still publicly claiming the state for Mckinley, att9ohes of his hcadq qusrtsrs say that he really regards the state Aa doubtful and possibly as lost. Returns % far received arc so meagcr as Co render 10 impossible Co give very intelligent opin- lon, but SO far as they go they indicate sufficient gains to give the stato to Bryan by about a 900 If maintained, the ma jority will certainly he very small either way. Chairman Manahan of the Lsnoas- ter county Democratic committee predicts 20, 900 Democratic majority and says hs Is supported In this claim by the fusion state chairman. He says the Lincoln ma jority is loss to the Republicans of 1, 500 and that tho full returns from tho coun- try precincts outside the city will reduce Mokinley's majority to about 800 Mir Manahan expresses the belief that the fu- sionists will elect six of the congressman from Nebraska He asserts that Bradley is certainly elected from this the First, dis- trict

COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 4.-Cn comparison of the vote with that of the last presi- dential election, Ohio ma de unprecedented gains for Mckinley In 1899 Harrison carried Ohio by an average plurality for Republican electors of .072. In that year one of the Cleveland and Stevenson elect ors was elected. In 1898 MoKinloy had n plurality of over SO, 900 for governor The Republicans carried Ohio in 1894 by 137, ,000, and last year Bushnell (Rep l. was elected governor by ovor q2. 900. The Republicans have had phenomenally large pluralities in Ohio the past three years commencing with McKinley's reelection as governor in 1893, while in 1899 the re- suit was very close. The state in 1929. for the first time, did not give it's entire elect oral vote to the Republican presidential candidate. The largest plurality ever given Republican presidential ticket In Ohio was 34, coo, for Garfield In 1880.
 - Chairman MoConviIlo of tho Democratic state executive committee states that he thought the later returns would show Democratic gains in Ohio to offset the heavy Republican gains in Hamilton, Franklin and other counties. He said that 1t looked as if the Republicans had carried the state, hut was unwilling to give figures until fuller returns had been received.

 CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-The returns received by the Associated Press up to midnight indicate the probable election of Mckin. ley and Hobart although returns are SO meager from number of doubtful states that thls conclusion can only be reached by an estimate based upon the gains and losses The best estimates obtainable in- dioate that Maine and Vermont have given majorities somewhat reduced from the September elections: that New Hamp- shire gives about 20, 900; Massachusetts about l20. GOO and Rhode Island and Con- neoticut proportionate majorities, all for Mckinley. New York is estimated at above 250, ooo and Pennsylvania is likely Co reach the same figure If not a greater. Maryland hns bean carried for the Repub- llcan candidate for president by n majori- ty exceeding 20, GOO and Delaware claimed hy both, apparently in dispute, although the plurality Is not likely to exceed ,o00 The returns from West Virginia are not sufficient to justify the claim of either party. Ohio has given very largo Re- publican plurality, and Kentucky is ap- parently assured to the Mckinley column, although later returns may not justify this claim. Tennessee seems to have been carried for Bryan, notwithstanding the confident assertions to the contrary of the Republican managers, and the same is probably true of North Carolina Indiana and Michigan as we'll as Minnesota indi- cate heavy Republican gains and a strong probability that they have gone for Mo Kinley. Illinois will give Mckinley over lo0 900 plurality, and Nebraska and North and South Dakota ape very close and still in doubt Wyoming seems to have gone for Mckinley. The returns from the Pa oitic coast states are too meager to justify any claim respecting them. The states of Virginia, South Carolina. Florida. 6eor- gia, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Lou isiana, Colorado, Nevada, Montana and Idaho may safely bo placed in the Bryan column The returns from Kansas and Texas are scattering and indicates noth. ing, although heavy Republican gains are reported from Dallas and Galveston.
 ''I ha seen no unfa orable report from any state that we hase e ever claimed except from Kentucky" said Chairman Jones late last night Reports from that state indicate a larger detection than we had anticipated, but we do not oonoede that state by any means We can lose Ken lucky and will then have enough electoral votes to win" Chairman Jones says he has received a message from State Chair man Martin stating that Indiana was ab- solutely certain for Bryan Private tele grams from Michigan indicate large Dem ocratio gains, and the Democratic com mittee based their hopes of Bryan's eleo- tion upon the result in these two states.

WILLING MISREPRESENTATION.
How the Times Endeavored to Sustain
Its Weak Case.

When the Times printed its statement
of Browns withdrawal as a candidate
for the council from the Second ward it
gave out the impression that he was not
out of the race until November II, 1894.
AS matter of fact, Brown was out of
the race on November 2, 1894, when the
Populist committee accepted his resig
nation The following proves the fact,
for it is an exact reproduction of the
minutes of the Populist city central COM
mittee:
NOVEMBER 2, 1884, u m.
Moved that a recess of twenty minutes
be taken for the purpose of interviewing
G. f. Brown as to whether or not he in
tended remaining on the city ticket. Sc
ordered
Committee recOnVened at 2:30 p. m.
November 2, 1894.
Called to order by the chair.
Reading of minutes omitted. Report
of committee on conference received and
committee discharged.
Resignation of Nj. 5. Reed, as council
man of the Fourth ward, received an6
accepted.
Moved that A. l.. Walker be declared
the nominee for councilman of the Fourth
ward. So ordered.
RESIGNATION OF G. F. BROWN
READ AND ACCEPTED.
Adjourned until November TO- 1894
1880 p. m.
Now, Brown was not nominated fOl
the council until October 90, and Snyde
was not nominated until October 22 So
the date of Snyder's letter to Price, Oc
tober g. is erroneous. 1t was Novembe
.. This was seven days after Brow
had Withdrawn and was absolutely ou
of the race.
True, Brown did file his declinatiol
November IL, but he did SO merely to in
sure his names not going on the ticket
for he knew, prior to this, that he wa
absolutely and lawfully out of the race
His action of November IL was super
| tluOuS.
| The Times got the record from the sec
| retary of the Populist committee on Fri
| day evening as to when Brown ha
| withdrawn and his resignation accepte
November 2. But it failed to prin
one line of these facts simply because
| desired to go as far in misrepresentin
| Mr.. Snyder as it could.
This whole affair is very plain an
| simple. and it in no way affects the char
acter and standing of Mr.. Snyder, tn
| anti-water company canidate for mayor
and simply proves that he will nor b
| terrified by the desperate efforts of
| few blackmailers.
