 Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 5.-Bryan carried
 North Carolina by 15,000 is the official statement made at democratic. state headeuarters The republican state chairman comedies his victory here, but declares the majority is only 6,o00 The republican state chairman an- nounces the following as the congress- ional majorities: Skinner. populist 2,- 900; White, colored, republican, 5000; Fowler. populist, 2500; Stroud, populist, 4.200; Kitchen, democrats, $40; Martin, pop ulist, nearly 1000; Shuford, populist, 4,000; Linney republican, 2,60O; Pearson, repub- lican 1,400 He also announces that Rus sell, republican, is elected Governor by 12,000.
 Raleigh, Nov. 5.-Republican Chairman Hoffman says at 80 o'clock: q con- cede that Bryan gets 12,000 majority in North Carolina. We lack only eleven of having enough members of the legislature to elect senator on straight fight. The populists will cooperate with us to elect | a republican senator.
 "A republican committeeman says the republicans have endeavored to aid in the election of populists friendly to the re- election of Senator Pritchard. The odds appear to be that the latter will be elect ed, though the populists really hold the balance of power and can name the sena- tor if they should decide to do so. A populist state committeeman says the populists will name silver man for senator. The democratic estimates of the legislature are fifty-seven republicans, forty-seven populists and forty-four dem ocrats, with eighteen seats in doubt. More of the latter will be either populist or republican it is thought.

PAST MIDNIGHT RETURNS

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 5.-Indiana complete, with the returns from thirty six counties taken from the official count and the rest unofficial gives the state to Mckinley by 22.145. The republican state ticket has run about 5000 ahead of this, owing to the fact that the populists had a state ticket in the field. The reurns as wired in give only pluralities, and don't mention the Palmer vote, but it is thought it will not run over 5000.
 The official count gives the Ninth con- gressional district to Landis, republican, over Cheadle, populist, by 220. This makes the delegation stand four demo- crats and nine republicans. The republi- cans hold majority of 20 in the senate and in the house.
