The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1896-11-05

With only fOrty-tWo election districts IN
New York city missing, Mckinley has a
bred and forty election districts out of
629 in Kings county give Mckinley So
621, Bryan 57,845, Palmer 1907.
Rochester, Nov. 3.-Seven voting dis
tricts, embracing the entire city Of Roches-
ter, give Bryan 1885, Mckinley 1883. The
Harrison 1857. The net republican gain
over 1892 is 4.540.
Auburn, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Returns from
this city, incomplete, estimated, gives g.
republican majority Of 1880. Republican
gain 1000 over 1892.
New York. Nov. 3-McKinley and Ho-
bart carried the city, When results we're
so far known as to announce that Black
(rep.), candidate for governor, had run
behind the electoral ticket about 5000,
which indicates his having about one-half
the plurality given Mckinley, expressions
of surprise could be heard. But such a
result was naturally to be expected, on
account of many democrats voting the
republican national ticket, and refusing
to vote the state ticket. Still more COM
ment was made on the vote for Woodruff,
for lieutenant governor, which pointed to
his having about 5000 plurality.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-Returns from over the
state of Illinois indicate that Mckinley
has made big gains in proportion through
out the counties and towns as he has in
Chicago, seeming to justify the claim of
the central committee that the state has
gone 100000 republican. If the gains
which are already reported hold up in the
districts yet to be heard from, the major
ity, it is said, will exceed that figure. In
the southern part of the state the gains
have been heavy, and several towns and
<{aov at o. hov DIV ay,
small najorities.
From all other parts of the state the
dispatches received at state headquarters
claim substantial republican majorities.
In the dispatches, comparing the votes
Of Tanner and Mckinley, the former
has in most instances ran slightly behind
the latter.
The figures, however, plainly show that
Tanners loss was no gain for Altgeld.
Torman was the gamer. Comparisons
made with the vote cast for Harrison in
1892 show very heavy gains in nearly every
instance over the republican vote cast
that year.
The republican state central commit
tee has issued the following:
1.-THE Citizens of Illinois-The republican
state central committee congratulates you
on your action at the polls to-day which
places the western empire state at the
head of the list Of honest and law-abiding
commonwealth in the union. The cleo
ton of Governor Tanner by a plurality
equal to the wonderful strength Of the
idol of protection is tribute to his worth
and a declaration that the people Of Hi
nois know he will give them a good adj
ministration. We possibly return solid
delegation to the lower house of congress
to support the president-elect in a policy
which will benefit the whole country and
secure legislation which will send to
the senate a republican in place OF Gen.
eral John M. Palmer. The verdict will be
received with joy by the entire nation.
1.-THE defeat of Altgeld and his heresy of
antagonism to the courts was not less
important than the rebuke to the free Sill
yer heresy. Illinois stands proudly before
the civilized world as leading the advance
