The great battle of the ballot has been
fought. The desire of the masses TO de.
clare their sentiments upon the great
! political issues which have formed the
basis for comment and contest, has been
gratified, anil it is safe to say that
through their emphatic expression, the
country will rapidly rise from its de.
pressed condition and in due time reach
the degree of prosperity which marked
the result Of republican rule in the past.
The result Of the election in the various
states can not as yet be definitely stated,
and while there is shade of doubt
hanging over the result Of few states
claimed for Mckinley, reliable reports
Indicate his election by very large ma
lorty. The states that have been con-
ceded to Mckinley are Connecticut.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota. New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
leland, Vermont, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
which have an aggregate electoral vote
of25l. States conceded to Bryan are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Texas rnd Utah. 40 The re-
naming states classed as coubtfl, il is
confidently expected, will largely in
crease McKinley's majority.
The election in Custer county result
ed in surprise to the republicans
which was highly tinctuged with regret,
the county having been carried by Bryan
by Il majority Of 81, the republicans say
ing nothing out Of the awful wreck but
the treasurer and county Judge, and
one county commissioner, as shown
by our table giving complete returns of
the county in tabulated form, which we
submit in this issue. The vote in this
city, where just 300 votes were cast, was
very close, Bryan carrying the city by
a majority of9, and there was a tie on
three of the county Offices.
The Hills counties were all carried by
Bryan, but by small majoritics in most Of
them. Fall River gave majority Of lS
Meade less than 40, and is reported to
have elected the entire county repubi-
can ticket. Butte also gave small ma
jority, while Lawrence and Penningtons
majorities are up in the hundreds
Lawrence is now the banner pop county,
haying given a majority for Bryan of
700 In Fall River county the repnbli.
cans elected one officer, the treasurer,
and We pcrsume under the circumstan-
es, they are thankful for that. The city
of Deadwood gave majority of 100 for
Bryan, and Lead gave Mckinley a ma.
jority of ll3. Rapid City gave Bryan a
majority of one vote, while Keystone
went Rapid several better giving him a
majority of 100.
Returns are coming in ye-y slowly,
nothing of interest having been receiy.
ed during the past twenty-four hours.
The latest reports received before going
to press indicate the certain election of
Mckinley while there are yet a number
Of states in doubt.
South Dakota is considered safe, the
fastest reports indicating republican
majority of about 500.
In Indiana, fifty counties out of nine.
ty two, give Mckinley a plurality of
$4,000. The state will probably give
Mckinley 10000.
Kansas is claimed by the fusonists by
10000 The state has probably gone for
Bryan by at least 10000.
Kentucky, according to the latest re
ports, was carried by the republicans by
small majority.
Oregon, with six small counties to
hear from which will not materially
change the result, gives Mckinley
34,954, Bryan 81 700.
Washington, SO far as reported, looks
favorable for Bryan, and it is conceded
that he has carried it by safe major
ity.
California has probably gone republi
can. Eighteen hundred and seventy
six precincts out of 2,S37 give Mckinley
l2S, ,7S5, Bryan l2l,4 ASS. Same in 1892
gave Harrison LOG 6905, Cleveland log. .257.
Ohio, with two counties to hear from
gives Mckinley plurality of 53,73S.
Nebraska has probably been carried
by Bryan, and the election of Holcomb,
the pop governor is also conceded.
North Dakota is surely in the repubIi.
can column, the reports indicating the
state having given Mckinley electors a

Mckinley ofabout o5o0O0, the majority
