PERSONAL AND POLITICAL,

The latest returns from the election
show that William Mckinley has car
ried "a states for the presidency. These
states are the following, with the elect
oral votes of each state: California, 9;
Connecticut, 6; Delaware, 3; Illinois,
"a; Indiana, Is; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6;
Mary land, S; Massachusetts, IS; Mich
igan, II; Minnesota, 4; New Hampshire,
4; New Jersey, 10; New York, SO;
North Dakota, 8; Ohio, %; Oregon, 4;
Pennsylvania, 80; Rhode Island, 4;
South Dakota, 4; Vermont, 4; West
Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Wyoming,
1. Total, 265. Kentucky and Tennessee
are still in doubt. McKinley's plurality
of the popular vote appears to be over
100000, the largest ever given presi-
Dental candidate. In Illinois Tanner
(rep.) defeats Altgeld (dem.) for gov
ernor by over 100000 plurality. Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana
also elect republican governors. The
next house will probably stand as fol-
lows: Republicans, 2O1; democrats,
124; populists, 10. The senate will be
about equally divided.
William j. Bryan sent the following
dispatch to Mr.. Mckinley: Senator
Jones has informed me that the re-
turns indicate your election, and
hasten to extend my congratulations.
We have submitted the issue to the
American people and their will is law"
Later returns from the election do not
justify any change in the division of the
electoral vote between iaj. Mckinley
and Mr.. Bryan as previously printed,
which gave 264 to Mckinley and l67 to
Bryan and left 10 in doubt. The doubt
full votes are those of Kentucky and
Wyoming. The result in these two
states is so close as to require on official
count to decide it. The popular vote in
the several states give Mckinley plu-
rality of 939,216. The present indica-
tions are that the next congress will be
divided on the currency as follows:
House-Sound money, 215; silver, l42.
Senate-Sound money, 43; silver. II.
