\ RAN OF UOPE.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov 4.-Chairman
Martin of the democratic state commit
tee has just received telegram from
the chairman of Marshall county, say
ing that in the estimate from that coun-
ty the democratic and populist vote was
not aggregated. which would make II
difference in favor of the democrats of
over 300 votes. kilograms from other
parts of the state, Mr.. Martin says, dis
close Il similar condition. AS the pop
ulist vote in the state amounts to 30
600, practically all of which the dem
ocrats claim, future aggregation of
the vote would offset the plurality for
Mckinley of many thousands. 1t will
he some time before it can be determined
whether the vote has been aggregated
and pending such knowledge the state
will be in doubt.

SAY IT'S SAFE FOR M'KINLEY.

Chicago, Nov. i-After the claim of
5000 for Bryan in Indiana was made at
the democratic headquarters, an Associ-
atcd Press reporter asked Haskell, at
the national republican headquarters, if
any further information had been re-
ccived from the state.
THE state is absolutely certain for Nc
Kinlcy. We have had advices within an
hour ourselves and the result as an
nounccd this morning, of 10000 to 30
600, is practically correct"
4 bulletin given out at republican
headquarters is that 80 precincts in In
diana have been heard from outside of
Marion county, and they give Mckinley
63,9O2 and Bryan 52,9G4 The same
points gave Harrison, in 1892, 52,979,
and Cleveland 1853, making republ-
can net gain of 1907.

CLAIMING INDIANA.
Adviccs at Democratic Headquarters Are
Encouraging for Bryan.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The utmost conf
dence is still expressed at the national
democratic headquarters.
Secretary Walsh says that his advices
from Indiana are that the state is safe in
the Bryan column.
Mr.. j. Y. Johnson had conversation
over the long distance telephone with Mr..
Martin, chairman of the Indiana state
committee, and Mr.. Martin said that
while he had not full returns from all
parts of the state he was sufficiently ad-
viscd to be able to state with dehniteness
that the state would give Bryan 5000.
4 very short time later the Indianapolis
Sentinel called up democratic headquar-
tiers here and gave the same figures, say
ing there was no longer any doubt about
the state.

BALTIMOREANS STIRRED UP.
A Telegram Was Posted Saying Bryan
Was Elected

Baltimore. Nov. "A local Bryan or
ganization tonight posted Il telegram pur-
porting to come from United States
Senator German in Washington, stating
that Bryan had DO electoral votes and
that he was elected beyond doubt. In
less than half an hour Baltimore street,
the principal avenue in the city, was
crowded with mob of bowling, drunken
men, shouting for Bryan and impeding
the progress of peaceablc citizens, ap-
parently defiant of the police. They in
ton of that of 1876 and charged that it
was intended that Bryan should be
cheated out of his rights. Parades were
formed, and it was not till after mid
night that the paradcrs were induced to
dispense.

KANSAS FOR BRYAN.
Late Returns Give the Silver Candidate
Il Big Majority.

Topeka, Kans., Nov. Alt midnight
tonight sufficient returns are in to show
that Kansas can not be counted for Me
Kinley. The states hardest fought
political battle has resulted in fusion
victory for president and so close vote
for state candidates that only an official
count can determine whether the repub-
lcan or fusion candidates for state Off
GERS are elected. Leaders in both par
ties are now claiming but small najori-
ties and the majority either way will be
within a thousand votes. The republic
cans claim 1000 and the populists 1000.
The Bryan electors have carried the
state by approximately 10000 majority.
The state legislature is hopelessly lost TO
the republicans, and a populist senator
will again likely be sent from Kansas
Besides this congress will have four. if
not six, populist congressman.

logical acts of the party in congress have
been too often demonstrated to the ,peo-

change. and if Mr.. Bryan is defeated, it
is chiefly due to the fact that they at this

Concord, n. H.. Nov. 4-Chauncey NJ.
Depew comments upon the republican
victory as follows: THE country has
gone overwhelmingly republican and talk
of free silver will soon disappear. The

as their individual repute.

Mr.. Bryan, when pressed for some
thing more for the press, declined. IN
conversation with friends he freely as
cussed the probabilities, referred to the
closeness of the vote in several OF the
states and comparing notes with them
ON the chances in Kentucky, west VIZ
ginia and other states of apparently mar
row margins. He read all bulletins
with interest, but said he was not al
lowing the uncertainty to cause the least
degree of worry. He spoke checrfully
TO all, but it became evident towards the
latter part of the day that he was grow

congratulate the chairmen of the various

10000 republican majority, with strong

cording to latest returns. Lateness OF
returns from city and state is due TO the
complications in the election law recent
ly enacted and put in force for the irsC
time ut this election. At this counting
four constitutional amendments caused
further loss of time, each having to be
taken up separately. Indications are
these amendments are defeated. Up TO
an early hour today less than one-hali
of the election precincts have been heard
from. They show up bad for Bryan,
which Chairman Cook claims will give
him the state by 1000 plurality. he
also claims the election of twelve demo
cratic congressman outside of st. Louis.
and full democratic ticket, with Stephens
for governor.
In the state only definite returns as to
congressman are from the Third and
Fourth districts, democratic candidates
being elected in each.
On the other hand republicans claim
the state in doubt. Returns thus far
received show large increase in vote for
both parties as compared with 1892, and
republicans assert the advantage is
largely with them. Lewis, repubiican
candidate for governor, ran ahead Of the
