INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-The only
question about Indiana is the size of
McKinley's majority. Sixteen Indiana
police precincts show that Marion Coun-

the Western Union returns from twenty

There are 3, 116 precincts in the State.
From the indications at Republican

five of the eight Congressman and ma

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY
DAWyS upon THE COUNTRY.

The announcement that Iowa was
claimed for the Republicans by $4,000
plurality was accompanied by the state
nlent that the Democratic Chairman Of
that State also claimed it for his party.
Chairman Jones shortly before mid
night gave out the following:
There is no foundation for the claims
of the Republicans. There is at this
time no reason to think that any one
of the States claimed by me for Mr..
Bryan has failed to vote for him. While
misleading reports are being sent in all
directions, private advices assure us
that each one of these States has gone
for Mr.. Bryan. For two hours the most
eXtravagant claims as to Kentucky and
Indiana have been telegraphed all over
the country, while within the last few
minutes our committee assure us that
both States are safe for us. Mr.. Bryan
is certainly elected.
I'VE have received no unfavorable re-
ports from any States we have claimed
except Kentucky. We can afford to
lose Kentucky, and Still have enough
electoral votes to win"
To this was added by E. W. Barrett
of the Literary Bureau: I'VE have just
received message from the Chairman
of the Indiana State Committee that
Indiana is absolutely safe for Bryan"
Allen w. Clark, Secretary Of the State
Committee of Indiana, telephoned:
'Sixty-five Indianapolis precincts heard
from show an average Republican gain
of eleven to a precinct. Fifteen country
precincts heard from show a Demo-
cratic gain of about forty to each pre-
cinct. L believe the Democrats have
carried the State. l do not expect re-
turns from country districts until late"
Governor Matthew concurred in this
View.
The Democratic National Committee
also claims California by $4,000 plural
ity; Nebraska, Michigan, Kentucky and
Oregon. The early reports, it was
stated, were expected to show above
niajorities.
The committee does not expect full
reports from the doubtful States for
two or three days
AT NEW YORK HEADQUARTERS
NEW YORK-Secretary Osborne of
the Republican Committee has issued
the following statement: Reports show
that we have carried West Virginia by
Iowa the plurality will be $4,000. The
Republican majority will be $4,000 in
Baltimore and 10000 in Maryland
Tennessee has gone Republican by 20,-
900, Massachusetts by 100000, and
Ohio will give Mckinley the largest
plurality ever known: We expect to
carry Virginia, and Illinois will give
great majority. We are confident of
kentucky. Mckinley and Hobart are
elected without a doubt
Committeeman Scott has sent this to
Mckinley: For more than eight years
I have looked forward to the great
pleasure of being able to send you
telegram of congratulation on your
election as President of the United
States. I have that pleasure now. Ac-
cept West Virginia's electoral vote and
my congratulations.
Secretary Osborn wired NJ. A. Hanna
at Cleveland that 263 electoral votes are
already assured, that the chances for
103 more, Tennessee and Maryland are
surely Republican and that West Vir-
ginia will give 25,000 Republican plu-
rality.

National Committeeman Jameson of

National Committeeman Jameson Of
Illinois, who was at headquarters re-
celv1ng the returns, agreed that the
known votes in Cook County and parts
of the State outside made Illinois sure
for Mckinley and Tanner and the whole
State ticket by over 100000, if the ratio
Of gains was maintained in the rest of
the State. The scattering returns re-
ceived from outside Chicago show large
Republican gains over 1892.
Chairman Hinrichsen Of the Demo-
cratic State Committee conceded Cook
County to Mckinley and Tanner, and
admitted that the indications pointed to
the rest Of the State going the same
way, although he would not give it up
until the returns had been received from
the country.
The Democrats look for large gains
and favorable returns from the south
ern part of the State, which has hardly
been heard from yet. These returns are
expected by Chairman Hinrichsen to
largely offset the lead of the Republicans
i'll the northern counties
Whiteside County gave Mckinley a
majority of $500, a gain of / ,422 over
1892. Logan County has been carried
by 300 majority. 1t was formerly Dem
ocratic by 600. This is an indication of
the gains of the Republicans heard
from.
The Republicans carried Pullman by
40C plurality.
Governor Altgeld arrived at the Pal
n.er House tonight from Springfield,
and received returns in his room. He
denied that he had conceded his defeat,
claiming that the meager returns did
not warrant the claim of the Republi-
cans that Tanner was elected.
State Chairman Hinrichsen said: "I
am claiming Altgeld's election. The
Chicago returns only show McKinley's
majority. Altgeld will run 10000 ahead
OF Bryan in Chicago, and if he makes
the same comparative gains in the
country he will win. Sixty precincts
in Chicago show Altgeld ahead of
Bryan 5000. Tanner will run 10000
behind Mckinley in Chicago. The
Presidential returns are not an indica-
ton of the vote of the State ticket"

Indications are that Mckinley will car
ry the city and county by a small plu-
rality. Sayers Dem) for Congress will
have large majority in the city and

At 8 p. m. meager and scattering re-
turns only have been received. The

amendments keeps back the reports on

Those received up to II o'clock show an
increase in the opposition to the Demo-
cratic ticket, and should it keep UP
Mckinley will carry the State. Pri-
vate kilograms indicate that the State
will be close, but Democrats claim that

600 majority. They also claim that

do not sustain the estimate. Partial re-
turns from Congressional Districts in

tons are good for the return of Sayres

The question of establishing in Sun

northeastern section of this state was
the subject of an address by John X.
Miller, of Sunbury. at 4 session of ALI
ance lodge of Odd Fellows last night
In Odd Fellows hall on Lackawanna

representatives from many of the
twelve lodges in the city and the or
phanage matter was fully discussed.
There are now in this state at Phila-

Fellows orDhanages similar to the one
proposed and which was considered at
a convention called especially for that
purpose last October In Sunbury At
that time the delegates were practically
unanimous in approving the idea al
though there was some disagreement
on Sunbury as a site. Scranton was
not represented but Wilkes Barre was
and that city's delegates with q certain
following advocated Wilkes Barre as
location. A petition for charter
was sent to the grand lodge, which
body referred the matter to q commit
tee OF which Mr.. Miller. who spoke last
night Is member.
The petition IL now in the hands Of the
committee and will be acted upon deti-
nttely at the annual session of the grand
lodge to be held In May in Pittsburg.
Besides Mr. Miller, the speakers who
discussed the orphanage at length ut
last nights meeting were s. G. Kerr.
c. F. Van Mort Otto Meyers and others.
Representatives were present from Rob-
ert Burns, Celestial, Slocum and Silur-

The sentiments expressed left little
doubt that Scranton Is unanimously in
favor Of establishing the orphanage
but there were decided opinions that
Sunbury Is not a proper location. 1t
was argued that Sunbury is too far
south and has not the proper railroad
facilities OF local advantages. 1t was
indicated that the idea will be opposed
BY Scranton and the contiguous terri
tory unless a more northern site than
