Milwaukee Claims to he the banner
Mckinley City.

Milwaukee claims TO be the banner
city of the United States in its vote
for Mckinley. 1t is the home of Henry
C. Payne. and a persistent effort was
made to have him removed from the
Republican national committee on the
ground that he was unpopular with the
laboring classes of his own city. The
returns show. however, that while two
years ago when there was a Republic
an landslide throughout the country,
Milwaukee was carried by a fusion OF
Democrats and Populists by LOO.
This year it goes $500 for Mckinley,
showing a gain of 1000, which, in
proportion to its population, is believed
TO be without equal in the country.
Latest returns do not change the pre-
vious estimates on the vote.
