Kinley by $4,000. The last previous vote
in the state was in 1895, when Moore,
the republican candidate for justice of
the supreme court, had a plurality of
II ,4S7, over McGregor.
West Virginia is confidently claimed
by the republicans, and the chairman of
the democratic committee has conceded
the state to Mckinley.
Tennessee presents some interesting
features of the campaign. Patterson, the
gold standard democratic candidate for
congress in the city of Memphis, is run
ming neck and neck with his opponent,
and the official count will be necessary
to decide between them. The state at
large is claimed by both parties, and be-
cause of the length of the ticket the re-
turns are coming in so slowly that
neither side seems entirely justified in
claiming the electoral vote with conf
dence.
North Carolina is claimed by both
parties, but, as in Tennessee, the returns
are very slow and no definite conclusion
is possible at present.
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi
Alabama and Louisiana are all for Mr..
BRYAN by about the normal democratic
majorities.
The Virginia electors will without
question be for BRYAN, but they have
been elected by heavily reduced lem
ocratic vote.
The republicans have abandoned all
hope of Texas and the state is conceded
to Bryan. The fusion between the pop
alists and the republicans in this state
did not prove a success.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan, not
withstanding the republican claims, but
Kansas has as yet sail practically moth
ing. The returns show democratic
gains in some districts and these are off
set by republican gains in other parts of
the state. Both paaties claim the state,
but the few scattering returns that are
in so far are of so indefinite a nature
as to make any claims, no matter by
whom made, of a very uncertain char
acter.
Wisconsin is sure for the republican
column by an enormous plurality.
Minnesota, which was regarded as
doubtful by both parties, has surprised
everybody by the size of the republican
plurality, and Mckinley will have ap-
proximately 10000 to 10000 more votes
in the state than Bryan. Gov. Clough,
whose election was considered doubtful
is certainly elected.
The latest information from the two
Dakotas show that North Dakota is
very sure for Mckinley and the proba-
bilitv is that South Dakota will be found
in the same column, although the result
is close.
The republicans claim Wyoming and
Washington. but the probabilities seem
against them in both states.
Oregon has gone for Mckinley, and
Colorado has, as was expected, given
Bryan heavy plurality. Adams, with
out doubt, has been elected governor.
The interest in the election in this state
centers in the state tickets, of which |
there were several, representing great !
variety of interest.
Idaho, Montana, Utah and Nevada
have all gone for Bryan by heavy major
tiles.
California has, on the strength of the
returns at hand, undoubtedly gone for
Delaware, where the republican party
has been rent in twain because of the
fight, has kept in the
republican column. The vote for the
republican electors in this state has been
unusually large, showing the factional
dispute did not extend in any great
measure to the national ticket.
The vote of Maryland has shown an
interesting reversal from that of the last
presidential election. Cleveland carried
he state by a plurality of 2I,I3o, and
his year Mckinley has a plurality of
slightly over 1000 in the city of Balti-
more alone.
Utah DEMOCRATIC.
