Some of the leading turfmen who are familiar
with the racing laws talked about the possohities
OF increased revenues the racetracks In the cafe
Mt the Waldorf one night last week Every point
OF the racing situation was discussed The concen-
s,Is of opinion at the end OF the discussion was as
follows: -"JJnder any circumstances when there Is
fair racing programme at least 1000 paying race
goers are willing to pay s. for all the privileges at
the frst-class tracks, which. on an average, VIII
give the racing associations revenue Of 5000 for
each racing day." The foregoing reads well. but
the cheap racing at the minor tracks with a low
scale OF admission might possibly prevent such
high average daily attendance as 1000 at s. each.
John Sanford. Of the State Racing Commission, be-
leves that racing will soon be placed upon pay
ing basis when the English methods are adopted
in this neighborhood. There are however. some
practical hard-headed racing men and bet
tors in this city who say: THE conditions
In racing in the two countries are different.
The who have been foremost In sup
porting racing in this country by paying admis-
sion at the gates from the class Of small mer
chants and tradesmen. The wealthy classes in this
country do not attend the races In very large num-
bers except upon extremely rare occasions. In fact.
many members Of the wealthy class in this COM
regular attendance at the races held abroad. In
England and France the wealthy classes support
racing and society present In large numbers when
important to be decided II society in this
country attended the races in anywhere near the
numbers that attend the Horse Show, the future Of
the turf would be assured"
IT VIII take time to establish the new order or
affairs the turf If the racing associations make
both ends meet this year. there Is every reason TO
believe that handsome dividends will he paid to the

COLORADO.
Bryan Carries the State by Tremen-
dous Majority.

DENVER, Nov. 3-8 p. m.-The polls
in Colorado closed at o'clock and no re-
turns are in as yet. The vote is reported
to be about the same as two years ago,
$4,000. There is no question of the cleo
ton of the Bryan and Sewall electors by
over 100000 plurality. State Chairman
Broad of the Silver Republicans claims
the election of Adams, Democratic-Sil-
yer Republican candidate for governor,
by II, 900 plurality, while Chairman Arm
strong of the Populist state committee,
claims the success of Bailey, candidate
of the Populist-Silver party combina-
tion, by $4,000.
Twenty-eight precincts out of lSo in
this city give Adams for governor 1854.
Bailey S639, Allen (McKinley Republic
an) 612. Bryan received practically the
combined Adams and Bailey vote.
At 11:30 p. m. the result on the election
of state officers is still in doubt. Bry-
ans plurality will reach 10000 in the
state, and Congressman Shafroth (Sil-
yer Republican, and Bell PopulisD are
reelected by $4,000 to $4,000 majority
each. Returns from half the precincts
in the city indicate that Bailey, Pop
ulist-Silver candidate for governor, will
have small plurality in the city, but ad-
vices from the state show that in many
places Adams, Democrat Silver Repub-
lican, has run far ahead No definite
figures can be given on the legislature,
but the reelection of Senator Teller is
assured in any event, all parties except
the Mckinley Republicans having in
dorsed him.

NORTH CAROLINA
Bryan Favored, But the Republicans
Make No Concessions

RALEIGH, Nov. 3-The election
passed off very quietly. Bryan. so far
as heard from. was supported by both
the Democrats and Populists and has
carried the electoral vote of the state by
majorities variously estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 10000. Holton, Repub-
lcan chairman, however, claims tine
state for Mckinley by 5000 to 10000.
Reports are to meager to state the re-
suit for congressman.
The Populists have carried the First,
Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh dis
tricts The Republicans have carried
the Second district certain, electing
White (colored) over Woodard. Pearson,
Republican, in the Ninth Is probably
elected. The only doubtful districts are
the Fifth and Eighth where the con-
test is between Tiney, Republican, and
Dougnton, Democrat. in the Eighth. and
Settle. Republican, and Kitchen, Demo-
crst, in the Fifth.
The Republicans have more members
of the Legislature than either of the two
parties, but not enough to organize
either house of the general assembly.

NEW YORK.
Bryanites Enjoyed Chance to Cheer
and Did 1t.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-There were lit
tie squads of sightseers in Printing
House square all day long, looking at the
elaborate preparations making by the
newspapers for the display of the re-
turns. Shortly after 5 o'clock the crowd
began to gather, however, and by the
people were massed all the way from the
cable tracks in Park Row to the eastern
end of the city hall. 1t was noisy but
good-humored crowd and the majority
was evidently for Bryan, as was shown
by the applause when portraits of the
candidates were thrown on the screens.
Mr.. Bryan was rapturously cheered,
while Major McKinley's picture scarce
ly evoked sound.
The tin horn fiends were largely in
evidence, but the people who had made
early purchases of horns were evidently
Bryanites, for at Z o'clock, when the
tide was strong for Mckinley hardly a
horn was heard.
Mckinley and Hobart carried the city
and the news at midnight which told
how the votes had been cast in the var
ious assembly districts, called out many
signs of delight.
WI Heu results were SO Idf kUOWH dS To
announce that Black, Republican can
didate for governor. had run behind his
electoral ticket, about 5000, which indi-
Gates his having about one-half the
plurality given Mckinley, explosions
of surprise could be heard.
But such a result was naturally to be
expected on account of many Democrats
voting the Republican national ticket
and refusing to vote the state ticket.
Still more comment was made on the
acknowledgement. which pointed to
his having about 5000 plurality.
General results in the city were known
early. All the streets of the city and
squares where unique devices were en-
ployed by the newspapers We're throng-
ed, and this concourse kept up con-
tinual din. In the early hours the con-
fusion could have been understood to
have been intended for any candidate,
city, state or national. But when the
| later hours rolled around the clamor iu-
| creased, but it took up the universal
sound that makes up McKinley's name.

brary was closed and no NOR bulletins
were received. Mr. Bryan was asleep
and no one was allowed to see him.
At 9 o'clock this morning tine indica-
tions are that the vote on the electoral
ticket in Nebraska will be very close,
probably will rot exceed 1000 either way
The Republicans claim the state on
president by 5000 and the Democrats by
1000. One hundred and forty-two pre-
cincts out of 1854, exclusive of Omaha,
give Mckinley 1901, Bryan 14.796. In
1884, Republican LII, Democrat -Popu-
list 12,414. Some of the remote counties
largely Populist in the past, will not be
heard from for twenty-four hours. and
the result will remain in doubt until
then. The indications are that the Re-
publicans secure four congressman and
the Democrats two.

WEST VIRGINIA.
No Report Made-The Republicans
Claim the State.

WHEELING. w. Va. Nov. 3.-No
official returns have been received from
any part of the state at a. m. Wednes-
day. At Republican headquarters The
statement is made that it is now only a
question of majority. Dovener, for
congress in the First district, is certain
ly reelected by the Republicans and
they claim all three of the others, the
legislative and state tickets.
Figures or which to base correct esti-
mates Of the result in West Virginia
will not be available before morning.
At midnight not more than five coun-
ties have been heard from and they are
only estimated. They give Republican
gain over 1892 of 2500. This includes
the city of Wheeling. Official reports
from seven precincts in Wheeling show
net Republican gain of Sc over 1894,
when the Democratic majority thereto
fore existing was completely reversed.

MARYLAND
No Figures Given-The State Conceded
to Mckinley

BALTIMORE, Nov. 3.-Chairman
Talbot of the Democratic central COM
mittee tonight conceded Maryland to
the Republicans, but would give no fig
ures. Chairman Wellington of the Re-
publican committee claims the state for
Mckinley by at least $4,000 majority,
the city of Baltimore by 10000 and five
congressman out of six, with the sixth
as yet in doubt.
The Democrats of Maryland, under the
leadership of Senator German, have
again tasted the bitterness of a defeat
so crushing as to be almost dishearten-
ing The almost phenomenal majority
of 1000 for Lowndes a year ago has been
duplicated and perhaps excelled today,
as with full returns from two-thirds Of
the state and half of the city, the indi-
cations at midnight are that Mckinley
leads Bryan by 10000, 10000 OF which has
been contributed by Baltimore city,
heretofore a Gibraltar of Democracy.

and positively refuse to discuss the
question beyond that point. 1t is not
expected that any authentic returns will
be in before o'clock. The count Is pro-
ceeding unusually slow, which Is ac-
counted for by the apparent scratching
of all candidates except Governor Nor
rill, Republican, who is apparently rum
ming far ahead Of his ticket. The Kan
sas election law necessitates the marh-
ing of each and every candidate, even
if the ticket is voted straight The state
is in doubt.
At Republican headquarters returns
are being received by precincts. At mid
night only 12 out of 1918 in the state have
reported. These show slight gain fol
the Republican ticket over the combined
opposition in the election of 1892.

The Democratic Leaders Are Waiting
for More Returns.


CHICAGO Nov. 3.--At $3.50 Secretary
Nelson of the Democratic central COM
mittee had received no reports from the
county chairmen. Press reports indi-
Gated majority of $4,000 for Mckinley
in Cook county, and tits was generally
conceded by the committee
No reports on which even an estimate
of the state, outside of Cook county.
might be based had been received, but
the committee still claims $4,000 for Bry
an. The vote by precincts runs 10 per
cent below the registration. This bears
out the report that the returns so far
received are only on straight Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets, omitting
the Peoples party, which the committee
counts on for $4,000 votes.
Altgeld in sixty precincts has run 5000
ahead of Bryan, and on this basis the
committee claims his election, even
though Bryan should lose the state by
10000. Secretary Nelson says he will
concede nothing until he has received re-
ports from his own chairmen, and these
are not expected before midnight
Chicago. with one precinct missing,

KENTUCKY
Everybody Surprised at the Large
Sound Money Vote

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 3-The returns
from the state received up to 1 O'Clock
indicate that Kentucky will give Nc
Kinley electors d majority of from 1o,-
900 to 10000. The Republicans are claim
ing it by $4,000, while Chairman Som
rlers of the Democratic committee
says all the returns show Democratic
gains. Eight of the twelve wards of the
city and Jefferson county, with the eX
ception of one precinct give Mckinley Il
majority of 925S. All returns from east
crn and central Kentucky are favora-
BILE to the Republicans. The Democrats
have probably carried but three con-
gressional districts. BreckinrdGs2' S
election is probable. At Republican
headquarters 5SS precincts have been
heard from and show a Republican gain
of CO.'S over Bradley's vote in 1892. The
counties to hear from are largely Re-
publican.
The news from the state indicates that
Mckinley will carry the state by a much
greater majority than Bradley carried
it in 1895 for governor. The state will
probably give Mckinley $4,000 to 10000
The result is great surprise to the
free silver leaders and the size of the re-
suit is surprise to the sound money
men. Not much news has been heard
from the western Part of the state,
where free silver is strongest. but the
increased Republican majorities in the
central and eastern portion puts the
state beyond question into the sound
money column.
1t is only a question of majority IN
Kentucky. for the states electoral vote
has gone for Mckinley by majority of
probably $1,000, although Chairman
Roberts of the Republican committee
says it will reach $4,000.
Owing to lack of telegraph stations in
the eastern part of Kentucky. McKin-
ley's plurality in the state will not be
known for at least another twenty four
hours, but it is conceded by many DEM
ocrats that it will not be less than TO-
coo. They refuse to give it up at Demo-
cratic headquarters. still claiming they
have chance to carry the state.
