COLUMBUS, o., Nov. From the
earliest returns it was thought that Ma

10000, but later returns reduce Nc
Kinley's plurality to 10000 and COM

Over a Hundred Thousand For Mckinley
and Tanner.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Major McKinley's
plurality in Illinois will reach 100000.
Governor Altgeld, in his contest with
Tanner, ran nearly 10000 ahead of
Bryan in the state. There is no doubt
of the election of Tanner and the rest Of
the Republican state ticket, but their
majorities will fall below those for Nc
Kinley.
Partial returns indicate the election of
all the Republican congressman in the
state, excepting the following Demo
Gratis, who are elected; Secretary of the
State Hinrichsen, Sixteenth district
Jehu Baker, Twenty first district; A. j.
Hunter, Nineteenth district.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 4.-Returns so
far received make it absolutely certain
that Bryan has carried the state by
probably 10000 plurality and that the
DemocrCts have elected congressman as

The Palmer and Buckner ballot was

Ramsdell. for governor, ran behind
the Mckinley electors, but he will have
the largest plurality ever given Re-

The legislature will be overwhelming

five council districts and probably all
the senatorial districts but one are Re-
publican.

LITTLE Rock, Nov. 1.-The election
in this state passed off quietly. Chair
man Cooper of the Republican state
central committee, comedies Bryan's
majority at 45, 200, while the Democratic

ST. PAUL, Nov. 4.-The state gave
Mckinley $4,000 plurality. Every
county SO far reporting gives big Nc
Kinley majority. The only man on the
state ticket who has chance of election
is Lind for whom the Scandinavians
have voted extensively. Lind may have
been elected. 1t is a clean sweep for
congressman, except the Seventh dis
trict. The Legislature is Republican by
two thirds on joint ballot.

WLMINGToN, Del, Nov. 4.-On ac-

about 1 900 majority.

NASHVILLE, Nov. from all re-

MONTPELIER, Vt, Nov. 4.-Returns'
from the state, although meager, indi-
cate that the Republican majority will
be very near that of the special election,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. - Estimates
from every county in the state give Nc
Kinley an apparent plurality of 266, $50
There is every reason to believe that the
official returns will show plurality for
Mckinley of nearly 100000. The legis-
lature is almost entirely Republican,
the Democratic representatives not ex-
ceeding 10 per cent in membership in
the lower house of 204.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-Returns
from southern California indicated that
the ballotting had been strongly in favor
of Mckinley, although the fusion vote
was quite heavy at many points. Bryan
has carried several of the central and
northern counties of the state by small
majorities. When the official count was
about half concluded in this city the
figures stood as follows Mckinley cleo

900 Majority.


LOUISVILLE, Nov. chairman Sam
Roberts of the Republican Campaign
committee at midnight gave out the fol
lowing:
"Kentucky has gone for Mckinley by
larger majority than it gave to Brad
ley last year. Early returns indicated
$4,000 or 10000 majority, but surpris
ingly heavy Democratic gains in the
Populist free silver strongholds Of West
ern Kentucky may reduce this to 10000
or 10000.
1.-The Republicans have elected con-
gressmen in six districts and several are
in doubt. Those elected are Hunter, in
the Third Evans, in the Fifth Davi-
son, in the Eighth Pugh, in the Ninth
Langley, in the Tenth, and Colson in
the Eleventh"

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 4.-The election
in Maine proved one of the quietest in
the states history, generally the returns
showed falling off of the Democratic
vote and a slight increase in the Repub-
hcan vote which accounts in great
measure for a heavy Republican plu-
rahty estimated at 100000 The vote
cast for Palmer and Buckner was not as
heavy as anticipated.

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 4.--South Da-

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-McKinley and
Hobart have made clean sweep of the
Empire state. The Democratic plurality
of $4,000 in 1892 was reversed and the
unprecedented plurality Of 2S4,00O has
been rolled up for the Republicans.
Tammany's enormous majority in this

the Republicans voted almost sohdly for

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 4.-Returns so

ity, and that King, Democrat, is elected

The Legislature is in doubt, but it is GER

Dies MONIES, Nov. Returns from
the rural districts indicate uniform and
great Republican gaines. The Repub-
lcans have probably carried the state by
100000. Indications from returns are
that the Republicans elect all the II

the state is very light, sound-money
Democrats having almost all voted for
McKinley.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-The Democrats
of Maryland, under the leadership of
Senator German, have again tasted the
bitterness of defeat so crushing as to
be almost disheartening. The almost
phenomenal majority Of 10000 for
Lowndes year ago has been duplicated
and perhaps exceeded, as with full re-
turns from two-thirds of the state and
half of the city the indications are that
Mckinley leads Bryan by 10000; 10000
of which has been contributed by Balti-
more city, heretofore Gibraltar of
Democracy.
Five Republican congressman have
surely been elected, the only doubtful

of 1873 give Mckinley, 2,6OS; Bryan,
1,617. This is Republican gain and
shows that the Republican national,

ed, and that North Dakota will have

cincts in the city indicate that Bailey,

but advices from the state show that in
many places Adams, the Democratic
Silver Republican candidate, has run
far ahead, No definite figure can be
given on the legislature, but the re-elec-
ton of Senator Teller is assured in any

JAcKs0N's DEFENSE.
His Story of the bryan Murder Not
Very Effective.

Very Effective.
NEWPORT, KY, April 30.-Only one wit
ness was examined today in the Bryan murder
case and he was Scott Jackson. During all
the forenoon and afternoon, with very little
questioning, he told how he did not murder
Pearl Bryan. and how Walling must have
done the whole thing himself. His statement
admitted his partnership in the scheme which
brought Pearl Bryan to Cincinnati, and also
an active completely with Walling In dropping
the girls clothing into the Ohio river. His
attempt to explain why he was active in hid
ing the girls clothing is looked upon as lame.
The announcement of the prosecution at the
close Of Jackson's testimony that "the COM
monwealth will not cross-examine this wit
ness" was made quarter to 8. Court then
adjourned.
The purpose of the defense to prove an alabl
by Jackson will be supported if possible. by
the testimony of other witnesses. Jackson
stated that he did not know Pearl Bryan was
in Cincinnati till Tuesday, Jan. 49, when he
received note from her at the Dental college,
inviting him to visit her. All the testimony
OF the witnesses, Mrs. Weeks, the spiritual
medium; Mr.. Pinkard, who saw him in Ken
lucky with the girl, he emphatically branded
as untrue. He admitted taking Pearl Bryan
to Wallingfords saloon, in the Tenderloin dis
trict, but says it was on Tuesday night, JAN
2S, instead OF Friday, Jan. 81, the night before
the murder. He says he took her valise, the
one afterward found stained inside with blood.
carried 1t to his room Tuesday afternoon,
tried to return it Wednesday to Walling, but
could not find him. He said that Saturday
night, the day the body vas found, he and
Waliing dropped some clothing into the river,
which Wailing without further explanation
told him 1T was unsafe to keep in their room.
When ne made inquiry about the matter,
Waliing told him to ask no questions. His ex-
PLANTATION of his shifting the valise around was
very awkward. When called upon to explain
why he participated in hiding Pearl Bryan.s
clothing, he said he was actuated by fear that
the part he had taken to bring her there
to save VIII Wood might implicate him.

retrenchment at this late day. when the street
fund was practically exhausted. If, how
ever, the resolution could be made to in
clude city officials, many of whom were re-
.ceiving princely salaries he would cheerfully
vote for It's adoption. He then seconded
the motion of Aid. Franklin to Indefinitely
postpone the resolution. Aid. Copeland
moved to refer the matter to the committee
on streets. which was carried.
This reference practically settled the
resolution, for it was never heard of
again, and was smothered in the COM
mittee.
The friends Of organized labor, how
ever, had their attention called to the
position taken by Mr.. Doran and his
1.20 per day resolution, for the follow
ing Saturday the Bulletin, the official
.)rgan of the Trades and Labor assem-
bly,, in Its October edition, had the
following article on the resolution:
Extract from October number of Bulletin,
1S93.)
An attempt has been made to cut down the
wages of the laborers employed by the city,
md organized labor will soon be able to
Express their disapproval of the (?) who are
constantly working off, their economy fits
upon the poorest paid class of labor in the
city's employ, and always overlook those who
are paid princely salaries. The Bulletin
approves and appreciates an economical ad-
ninistration of city affairs, but it must pro-
test against this 15-cents-an-hour resolution
II an assemblyman. 1t should be taken into
consideration by our city fathers that the
present wages, s1.5O per day, is not enough
to exist upon, especially when men cannot
work more than two weeks out Of every
eight, and to cut that small amount is some
thing that ought not to be allowed to pass
without strong protest from every labor
organization of st. Paul. The resolution
passed the assembly and was voted for by
DORAN, REARDON, Johnson, Schuette and
Woterstorff. Those opposing it being DAILY,
and Van Slyke. When 1t came up in the
board of aldermen Aid. Franklin moved in
by Aid. CULLEN and Dorniden. But the
resolution was referred to the committee on
streets and the vote in this body will be re-
ported in our next issue.
1t would be well for the members of
organized labor, and also those who are
not connected with labor organiza-
tions, to call the attention of the Doran
gang to these facts. Much pains have
been taken by the friends Of Mr.. Doran
to vilify or attempt to misconstrue Mr.
Cullen's record on the question Of
wages to be paid the laboring man.
Now the Doran spellbinders can spend
some Of their time in explaining the
hot and cold actions of their candi-
date, if any such thing is possible in
the face Of the above facts and evil
dence.

FARGO, N. D., April 3o.-The Taylor
Crum family feud eliminated in q sound
threshing administered to Crum by a broth
er of Mrs. Crum tonight in front Of the
formers Office. A crowd of about thirty or
forty citizens had been given tip. and they
were there to see that the wife-beater would
get his just dues. He was pounded so
badly that he was carried to his office. Ex-
element was intense for time, and in half
an hour fully 200 men had gathered in front
of the attorneys office and almost desperate
for revenge. They felt that the time had
come to rid the city of this man. Up to
this time the mob is still without. and
should Crum not make his appearance it is
possible that he will be dragged out, prob
ably to his death. Every one expresses great
sympathy for Mrs. Crum. She has already
commenced proceedings for a divorce.
