/ 6lecGeQ according 70 the returns re-
eeived up to midnight by at least 80,
/ OOO The returns have been very slow
and very mesger,- but in every county
I precinct there have been democratic
gains and this will offset any gains
that may have been made by the re-
publicans ia the towns. Chairman
Cook, of the democratic state central
committee, said at 70 o'clock: 81 cannot
give any figures but I know that
every man on the state ticket has been
elected, and that Bartholdt in the
Tenth district, is the only republican
congressman elected" Bryan has run
ahead of the state ticket in almost ell
the counties, and his majority is sew
eral thousand more than that of the
men on the state ticket 1t seems that
Stephens has run somewhat behind
the others upon the state ticket
Democrats claim the election of
Richard Giles for congress in the First
district by 5000.
In the Second district BOdine, the
democratic candidate is undoubtedly
elected to congress.
In the Third district Mr.. DockeTy
easily succeeds himself Returns from
Clinton, Clay, Ray, DeKalb, Daviess
and Caldwell counties and scattering
precincts in other counties ia the dis
trict indicate increased democratic
gains.
In the Fourth district Cochran dem
defeats Congressman Crowther. The
returns are somewhat meager, but
seem to indicate that Cochran carried
the rural counties, Crowther carried
ST. Joseph by about 1000.
In the Fifth district William S. Cow
herd tdem.) is elected over Neff rep,
by probably g. 500 majority. Republic
ans carried Kansas City by small plu
rality, but Neff ran behind the ticket
In Kansas City Robert E Lewis ran
ahead of Mckinley.
Sixty-eight precincts in Missouri
outside of the city Of St, Louis give
Bryan 1889; Mckinley, 1925. Fifty
precincts give Stephens 9,44O; Lewis
$3.50 Capital removal, yes, 1898; no
5,277. Fourteen wards complete in
city of st. Louis gives Bryan, 1903!
plurality over Mckinley. 1t wa'
claimed by the local democratic lead
ers that the official count of the city
will show that the repu biicsI
majority in the city viii not be more
than 10000 If this is the case il
will increase the democratic majority
to more than the estimate given. The
republican managers, like the demo
Gratis, say that they have no figures
upon which to base an estimate of the
state They acknowledge, however
that the state is democratic, and, al
though they claim TO have faint hopes
of Lewis, offers of odds on Stephen;
go without takers.
Indications are that Bryan has
carried Jasper county by 1900, a gain
of 8, 200; Daviess county by 500, gain
over 1894; Cole county by about 100, q
democratic gain; Lafayette county by
1000 a democratic gain; Carroll county

ocratic gain; Vernon county by 1900
a fusion gain of 400; Barton county by
500, a democratic gain; Dade by 500
Andrain by 1900; Bates by

by 1000, a big democratic gain; Macon
by a small majority; Clay by 9, 500, q
big democratic gaiBi Cooper by a small
majority; Ray by 1000, democratic
gain
Mckinley probably carried Grundy
county by 200, a slight gain over 1892
| Adair county by 100; Holt county by
600; Benton by 400
In a great number Of counties Lewis
(rep.), for governor, is ahead of Ne
