BELONGS TO MCKINLEY.
No Technical Error should Cause On Electoral
Vote 10 Be thrown Away.

Wilmington, Del. Nov. 4.-James G.
Shaw. one of the Mckinley candidates
Tor elector, was on both the Republi-
can tickets. On the Union Republican
ticket in New Castle county, Sir was
added to his name.
Many election officers gave James G.
Shaw the votes. keeping tally only on
the head of the Republican ticket.
Others kept tally for both names and so
many returns. To what extent this has
been done cannot develop until the Off
cial count, Thursday. Then much will
depend on the action of the board of
canvass.
If the intent of the voters is to be
taken. Shaw will be given the entire
vote. but if an attempt is made to show
that two men were really voted for. it
may result in losing one vote for Nc
Kinley.

CHAIRMA JONES DEFIANT.
He Still Refuses to Give Up and Admit the
Success Of Republicans.

Chicago. Nov. 4.--Chairman James
X. Jones of the Democratic national
committee. this morning, furnished the
United Associated presses with the
following statement:
There is evidently conspiracy on
the part of our opponents to claim
everything in utter disregard of the
facts. They are now claiming Wash
ington. Wyoming, South Dakota
Alaska. Kentucky, Indiana. North
Carolina and other states from which
we have the most positive private as
surances that we have carried each of
them. So far from having lost any
single state upon which we have
counted for Mr.. Bryan's election. every
one has gone for us from which any
reliable information has been received
l have no doubt the others will do like
wise, thus insuring Mr.. Bryan's cleo
tion.
(Signed) JAMES X. JONES'
Chairman Jones says he has advices
up to I. tonight. which indicate that
Bryan has carried Kentucky, Indiana
and Michigan. He says a parade is
forming in Cincinnati which will have
for it's standard the words None Of
1876 this time
Chairman Jones at noon, today, sell'
the following message to Mr.. Bryan:
We have all along claimed for you the
Southern states. with 1856 votes. and the
states west of the Missouri. with 81
votes, leaving necessary to success
seven votes. l counted Michigan, In
diana and Minnesota. We have no in
formation except by press dispatches
indicating that we have lost any of
these states. On the contrary, we ara
positively assured of all the South
except Maryland.
The West, so far as heard from, is
safe. California, Oregon, Washington
Wyoming. Montana are reported .,y
our friends to be all right. If we carry
either Minnesota, Michigan, or Indiana
we certainly win. Our reports are
favorable from them all.
Reports from our friends every
where show the press reports to nc
partisan and grossly unfair to us
Press bulletins persistently give Ken
lucky to Mckinley. while Somers
chairman of the committee, wires me
that AZ counties of 119 gives Bryan n
