TabuIated Estimate of the stand
ting of the Electoral College.
Returns received up to the hour at
which this edition of the Morning News
goes to press indicate that William Jen-
nings Bryan, the democratic candidate
for President, has been badly beaten, ana
William Mckinley, Jr.. elected by a large
majority of the vote in the electoral coi-
lege.
In the west Mckinley appears to have
carried the so-called doubtful states of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Kansas. and Minnesota. A few others
may have gone by the board also.
Sufficient for the day is the evil thercot--
in other words, let the tail go with the
hide-and it is unnecessary to go fuller
into the painful details.
In the south, there appears to
have been a much larger crop
of gold bugs than most people supposed.
Giving Palmer and Buckner the cold
shoulder, thousands of them appear TO
have voted with the disgruntled popG-
lists and republicans for Mckinley. AS
result, the solid south has probably been
shattered. Kentucky, Maryland and
West Virginia are very apt to be found
in the Mckinley column when the count
ing of the ballots has been finished.
Florida's majority for Bryan may be
under 10000.
The east voted as solid as a rock for
the gold standard and Mckinley. Some
phenomenal majorities have been rolled
up there. New York and Pennsylvania
are apt to turn in about 100000 for the
man who represents Hanna.
Massachusetts is likely to fall in with
10000 to 10000 for Mckinley.
Philadelphia probably gives Mckinley
$4,000 majority.
The gold bugs probably carry New York
city for Mckinley by 5000 to 25,OOO
New York city is also likely to give
Black. the republican nominee for gov
ernor, 6,OOO majority
Tammany managed to carry most of
the congressional districts in which 1t
had candidates in the field.
McKinley's plurality in Minnesota is
probably $4,000, in Ohio $4,000, in Illinois
$4,000 to 125OOO, and in Indiana it may reach
$4,000.
The lower house of congress will almost
undoubtedly be republican and for the gold
standard. Joe Manley of Maine claims it
will have 240 republicans.
In the electoral college Mckinley is apt
to get 275 to 800 votes.
Gains in state legislat lures will also give
The republicans several new United States
senator's within the next few months.
New York, Nov. A, $50 a. m.-Legislative
reports from the various states Indicate

Mckinley, 1885; Bryan, 1850; Palmer,
l,195, and Levering, 1874. McKinley's plu-
rality is about 6lOO0.

eeived by the United Associated Presses

will certainly have 25s electoral votes and
