victory.
The niue talked -of and highly-vaunt-
ed Mckinley prosperity has begun al
ready. Two striking instances of the
effect Of the election were to be noted
last week. The williamsburg Sugar
Refining company closed down its
works and threw 1000 people out of en-
ployment. Over in lonl<ers they had
another taste Of republican good times.
The Smith carpet factory of that place
shut down, casting out 1000 people,
who are now looking for something tn
do.
At the most conservative estimate,
figuring that each of these employees
cares for n family OF three, this is a
pleasing total Of $4,000, who, within n
few weeks after great republican VIC
tory. are left pcnnilcss.
This Is tho first effect OF Mckinley
prosperity. While we are ready to re-
ccive all the prosperity we can get. il
IL little discouraging to have il be-
gin in this fashion. The capitalist evil

WEST VIRGINIA.

WHEELING, Nov. 4.-Eleven a. m. re-
turns from the state, which are slow, show
Republican gains over 1899, and there Is
probability that the state has gone for Nc
Kinley. Wetzel county, which gave Cleve-
land 627 majority will probably not ex-
oeed 800 for Bryan. Gilmer county gives
$50 Democratic majority Mineral county
has given 300 Republican majority;
Brooke county, 1s9 for Mckinley.
CHARLEsTowN, W. Va, Nov 4.-There
is absolutely nothing received at Demo-
cratic headquarters by which a majority
can be based for either party. A few tel
egrams received by Secretary Olney an
nounoe gains, but not enough counties
have been heard from to form an idea of
the result. The Democrats claim the state
by 5000 and Republicans by from 10000
to IS, 900.

PENNSYLVANIA,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.--Rook bound
Republican Pennsylvania will give Mo
Kinley majority we'll up toward 269, 000.
Owing to the enormous size of the ballots,
figures, especially here In Philadelphia,
are hard to get at.
Enough has been received, however, to
show that Mckinley will have over 115,
900 majority in Philadelphia, and the
state will swell this. This Is the great
est majority ever given by the Gibraltar
Of Republicanism.
The Republicans however, lost two
congressman, as in this city Congressman
William McAleer defeated Congressman
Halterman in the Third ditriot, and in
the Seventeenth district Walsh defeated
Congressman Rulp. The Democrats also
re-elect their two congressman In the
Eighth and Ninth districts. This about
sums up the Democratic successes In Penn
sylvanis as the Republican legislative
candidates in nearly every case were
elected.
In this city fierce faotional fight was
waged between the regular Republican
organization and the independent Repub-
licans over the shrievalty. The independ-
ent Republican shrievalty candidate was
also nominated by the Democrats, and he
was elected by about 90, 900 majority.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 4.-Congress, Penn

Sturtevant, Republican, elected. Sturte-
want was opposed by Hon. Joseph @. Sib-
ley, and the vote was very close.

KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, Nov 4.-Kentuoky seems
safe for Mckinley, though the majority n
small. In 1906 precincts out of 1868
his plurality is 3,506.
The counties not heard from are Leslie,
Floyd, johnson, Knott, Magofiin, Pike
Butler, Greenup, Harrison, Jackson, Owen
and part of Henry.
These include somo strong Republican
MS we'll as strong silver counties, but tho
heavy Republican gains everywhere seem
to make the state safe for Mckinley
though tho result may be close.
Taking the estimates of tho missing
counties made several days ago by Chair
man Somers of the Democratic commit
tee the Mckinley majority of the missing
vote is ,23S This would give the state
to Mckinley by 4,744.
The Democrats elected six out of If con-
gressmen. They are Charles X. Wheeler,
First district; !. ID. Clardy, reelected,
Second districts John :. Shea, Third dis
trict; David Smith, Fourth district; AL
bert S. Berry, reelected, Sixth district
Thomas Y. Fitzpatrick, Tenth district.
The Republicans have Walter Evans,
re. elected, Fifth dlstrict Thomas Pugh,
Ninth district; Is. NJ Davidson, Eighth
district, and David 6. Colsom, Eleventh
district
Late returns from Owen and Henry
counties in the Seventh district show Bry-
an majorities of 1880 and 30S respectively,
which easily overoomes Breokinridge's
lead and elects Settle, Democrat, to con
gress by about 1000. tlfssgxzx 1sS-s S....

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, Nov. 4.-Returns, incomplete
as yet, from the SO counties of Michigan
indicate MoKinley's plurality In Michigan
to be 40, 900. The same returns give Pin
gree for governor an estimated plurality
of So 900. That Pingree should have run
decidedly ahead of his ticket generally
throughout the state is regarded as some
thing Of surprise in view of the combined
interests allied against him. In Detroit
Pingree got more votes than he had ever
received In his candidacy for mayor. In
1873 precincts of this county Pingree re-
ceived 81, 923 to 10, 154 for Sligh; McKin-
ley, 33,658; Bryan, 24,3l7.
The Republican state ticket ran consid-
erably behind Pingree's vote and several
thousand behind the Mckinley vote. The
Republican members of congress are elect
cd in each of the 12 districts of the state
except the Third and Eighth, and in the
Eighth the issue Is still doubtful between
Congressman Linton and Ferdinand
Brucker. Wayne county elected the en-
tire Republican delegation to the legisla-
ture-10 representatives and senators
although ex- Mayor William G. Thompson
for senator narrowly escaped defeat.
The legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican, but by what majority Is not
yet determined.
Chairman Babcock received a dispatch
from Detroit today saying that Corliss In
the First, Spaulding in Second, Hamilton
In Fourth, Smith in Fifth, Shower In Sew
enth, Bishop in Ninth, Crump in Tenth
Mesiok in Eleventh and Sheldon In
Twelfth, all Republicans, are elected to
congress, and that Todd, fusion. has de-
feated Milnes, Republican, in the Third,
with Bergman In doubt.
