of Mckinley. Country returns are slow, but
more reassuring every hour. Returns on Presi-
dent for As Michigan Counties give Mckinley
72,477; Bryan, 63.79s. Returns from several
strong Counties in the Upper Peninsula are
not included in the computation. Forty-six
Counties give Pingree (Rep.) 72,1s5i Sigh
(Dem.), $500.
Estimates from the few returns received in.
dictate that Mckinley has the State by 10000
or $4,000. This will probably carry in the Re-
publican candidate for Governor by 5000 or
5000 majority. Five Republican Congressman
are elected-Tawney, McCleary, Heatwole,
Stevens and Fletcher.
MISSISSIPPI.
As was expected this State went about 10000
for Bryan The vote for Watson will not ex-
coed 10000. The seven Democratic candidates
for Congress elected by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 5000.
MISSOURI.
st. Louis and Kansas City have gone for Nc
kinley, but Bryan is ahead in the State. The
result is in doubt.
Montana goes for Bryan probably by 14,Ooo
majority. The entire Democratic Populist
fusion State ticket is elected, with the possible
exception of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, Treasurer and Secretary of State.
NEBRASKA.
There is possibility that Bryan has carried
this State by small plurality. Not enough
figures have been received to justify the posi-
tive statement. The estimate made is based on
scattering precincts. returns from majority OF
Counties which show per cent. OF gain over
1894, when fusion conditions were the same.
In Lincoln, the home of Bryan, the result is
surprising inasmuch as he was expected to run
very close with his opponent. With the count
of this vote still incomplete best estimates give
it to Mckinley by 900, Bryan losing his own
precinct. The vote of Lancaster County IS the
largest ever cast, and with few precincts MISS
ing warrants claim of Republican Committee
that McKinley's plurality is 1000. Nocalls,
Republican candidate for Governor, will have
the same At Republican State Headquarters
Chairman Post insists that the Republicans
have carried the State.
Dispatches from Omaha say the returns are
meager. but indicate that Mckinley has carried
Nebraska. Eighty. seven precincts in Nebraska
outside of Omaha give Mckinley 10476; Bryan,
| $3.50 In 1892 Republicans. 9,7l4; Democrats,
| 1865. Not only does the count seem to be re.
| tarded by slow counting, but the total vote
| poled is much heavier than two years ago,
| when 10000 votes were cast in the Guberna-
| torial election. Nearly every precinct heard
| from shows gains for both Mckinley and
Bryan over the vote in 1884, with which it
| must he compared.
| NEVADA.
Even Nevada did not come ont very strongly
| for Bryan. 1t will be impossible to get COM
! plete returns for several days. but the most
/ liberal estimate places Bryan's plurality at
1000.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
| Returns from 20 towns indicate %. 600 to 3d.
600 Tor Mckinley, and about 10000 plurality
| for Ramsdell for Governor. Congressional
will have from 10000 to 900 each. Legisla-
ture overwhelmingly Republican. Galinger's
reelection as Senator is absolutely assured.
NEW JERSEY.
| Mckinley scored As 600. Seven Of the eight
| Republican candidates for Congress appear to
/ be elected. The State Legislature will proba-
/ bly, stand: mbly-Republican "A or 40;
| Democrats, Is or 16. Senate-Repnblicans IL;
Democrats, 3. Three and perhaps four of the
| 81 Counties have gone Democratic. The Palmer
and Buckner vote is lighter than was expected.
NEW YORK.
A great majority was that rolled up for Nc
| Kinley by the Empire State. Indications are
| that Mckinley has carried the State by pa, 600
| plurality over Bryan. Black. for Governor,
| runs many votes behind the Mckinley vote,
but still shows equal strength or greater than
| Morton's vote for Governor. That the candi-
date for Governor ran behind this record was
due mainly to the vote in Rensselaer, and AL
bany Counties, with some precincts IN New
| York and Kings. In no single instance was a
| gain OF any proportion made in any County of
| New York State by Democrats, and the party,
as represented by the vote. is not a gamer. but,
| in fact is q loser, there being distinct Demo-
cratic loss. In Congressman there seems TO be
little change from 1894 the State giving a COM
| plcte set of Republican Congressman outside of
| New York City.
NORTH CAROLINA.
This State is still in doubt. although Demo-
Gratis claim it by majorites ranging from 10000
to 5,000 Holfon. Republican Chairman, how
over claims the State for Mckinley by between
5000 and 10000. He has reports from II Coun-
ties, showing IA 900 Republican gain over 1892.
This ratio, if kept up, would give Mckinley
$4,000 majority. The Republicans will have
| more members of the Legislature than either of
the other two parties, but not enough to organ
ize either house of the General Assembly. The
Democrats have probably lost every Congress
sional District. The Legislature will he largely
| Populist and Republican, and Prtchard, Re-
publican will succeed himself in the Senate.
Other Republican Popuist fusion State officers
are elected.
NORTH DAKOTA.
This State goes Republican. One hundred
| and three precincts out of 1913 in the State
give Mckinley 2,I56, aud all fusion stroDgholds
heard from. Mcknley's plurality is assured,
three-quariers Republicans.
OHIO.
Ohio stood by her favorte son in fine form.
Returns indicate that Mckinley and Hobart
electors have swept Ohio by not less than rs, DOC
majority, gain of nearly 10000 over last
year, and 1000 over 1892. upon which year
calculations are made. There was an UMPIRE
cedented vote cast in both cities aud country,
adding to the phenomenal aggregate. The re.
turns from the cities show great gains for Nc.
Kinley and the agricultural districts do not
indicate. any serious detection on account oil
free silver.
Indications are that Oregon has gone 70,
Mckinley by over 5000 plurality. Republic
cans have 4 761 majority in Portland, and partia
returns from 1I9 out of 1853 precincts in Ore
gon give Mckinley 1861, and Bryan IL, 543
Complete returns from 1874 precincts, outside o
Portland, give Mckinley 1924; Bryan, Is, 1874
PENNSYLVANIA.
This State gives Mckinley an apparent plu
rality of 266.950. The great size of the tickle
made counting necessarily slow, and the esti
mates in many Counties are undoubtedly below
, the actual Republican pluralities There il
every reason to believe that the official return.
will show a plurality for Mckinley of nearly
$4,000. The Legislature is almost entirely
Republican, the Democratic representation no
exceeding 10 per cent. in a membership in tn,
, lower house of 204.
