Certain ,hse the Republicans Have
Won.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Reports
show that fair weather prevailed ev-
erywhere today except in Montana
and Utah, and that very heavy vote
was polled. The only disturbance so
far reported were at St. Louis. where
one man was killed, and at Philadel
phia where one man was fatally shot
An unusual proportion of govern
.nent officials in the higher offices re-
manned in Washington and did not
vote. The list included President
Cleveland and Private Secretary Thur
Der, who were at the White Houce
most of the day. Secretaries Olney,
Carlisle (who lost his vote oy tech
nicality Of the law and Morton. So
licitor General Holmes Conrad OF
Virginia, Assistant Attorney Genera
Thomas, Assistant Secretaries Rock
hill, Dabney and Sims and number
OF bureau chiefs, some Of whom, how
ever, have lost their votes by reason
Of long residence in Washington.
At IL o'clock sufficient returns had
been received at the Republican head
quarters to show that Mckinley had
received 2S4 electoral votes and Bryan
69 votes, while 81 were in doubt
some through q question as to what
the returns indicated and others from
lack of definite returns The States

The streets of Washington in front
of the election boards were thronged
with unnumbered thousands tonight,
and all the hotels and many private
residences received the returns by wire
and long distancetelephone. President
Cleveland and Secretaries Carlisle, Oh
ney and Morton received the returns
at the White House. At the Republi.
can headquarters the bulletins were
displayed on a screen, to the delecta-
lion of shouting thousands, and the
managers in the capacious parlors CT
the Hotel Normandie held open house
reading the returns and private ad-
vices to the rejoicing assem- mblage.
In marked contrast with the joy at
Republican headquarters were the
Democratic and Populist headquarters,
Fhere those assembled attempted to
dispel the settling gloom by question
ing the accuracy of the returns and
hoping that the country districts
might change the result. Chairman
Faulkner and Secretary Gardner OF
the Congressional committee locked
themselves in room, and no one was
permitted to pass the portals. To-
gether with Senator Hunton Of Nir-
ginia, Senator Gibson of Maryland
and a few others they discussed the
news as it came in. Senator German
remained at his home and was fur
nished bulletins as they arrived. Sen
ator Butler and Secretary Edgerton
and q few others were at Populists
headquarters.
Special a6yices were not numerous
at either the Populist or Democratic
headquarters but at the Republican
headquarters up to midnight enough
returns had been received to warrant
Chairman Babcock in claiming a ma
.Jority of over 100 in the next House
against free silver. Chairman Msr-
Ger claimed 800 electoral votes for
Mckinley and that 235 Republicans
and gold Democrats had been elected
TO the House. ''The estimate" said
he, will not be changed much either
way. The silver men have carried
one New England dirtrict, probably
two in New York, two in Ohio and
one in Pennsylvania, one in Mary
land, four in Indiana, four in Hi
noise, three in Michigan, in Iowa,
one in Nebraska and four in Kansas.
We have carried four California dis
tricts, one IN Washington. four in
West Virginia, seven in Kentucky,
five in Tennessee, one in Alabama,
two or three in Texas, seven in Missou-
ii, four in North Carolina and four in
Virginia"
Senator Faulkner said: 'It is i'm
possible at this hour to express an
opinion on the complexion of the
House or the general result. The re-
ports have been SO contradictory and
have been in such direct opposition to
--ss,sssslS --ss,sssslSp priyate telegrsms that we feel it
impossible to Exresss an opinion until
we hear from our managers in the
several States which we have regard
Cd as doubtful. We as yet conceGe
nothing as to the House or the gen
eral result. "
Senator Butler had nothing 10 say
ior publication. He, however, cues
toned the accuracy Of the returns in
laany instances, pointing out what he
ticemed the inconsistencies Of some Of
ihereports.
