out of 2,f5s in Kansas had been re-
eeived at republican headquarters.
They showed gain for Gov. Morrill,
of LOG votes over that Of two years ago,
while McKinley's vote was the same as
the governors two years ago. On this
percentage Mckinley will carry the
state by 1000, and Morrill, by 10000.
For chief justice otsthe supreme court,
Judge Carver is running ahead Of the
governor.
The republicans still claim the state
for Mckinley and the republican tick.
ct, and also claim seven congressman
and five judges of the appellate court
In the First congressional district
BrOderick's election is conceded, while
the republicans claim Harris will win
in the Second district, Kirkpatrick in
the Third district, Curtis in the Fourth,
Calderhead in the. Fifth and Long ia
the Seventh. The defeat of Ellis in
the Sixth is no doubt assured.
The populists also concede the cleo.
ton of Abijah Wells for appellate
Judge, but claim the other five. The
republicans assert that they will elect
all the appellate judges, with the pos
sibls exception of the one in the north
west part of the state. Returns
are coming in so slowly that it is
absolutely impossible at this time to
give any figures as to the legislature.
The republicans claim they will have a
good majority, however. Chairman
Simpson is confident that Kansas is
safe for the republican ticket. Chair
Breidenthal, of the populist committee,
claims the state by $4,000 for the state
and national tickets; claims seven con-
! gressmen and five appellate judges.
Chairman Briedenthal, of the pop
ulist state committee, is confident that
the state has gone for Bryan and fu-
sion. THE reports from scattering
precincts" he said, 'show marked re-
publican losses and confirm my ante
election predictions We have carried
the state for Bryan and elected the fu-
sion state ticket by safe majorities, I
believe we have elected seven of eight
congressman. The republicans prob
ably elected Broderick in the First dis
trict am confident we have carried
the legislature Chairman Love, of
the democratic committee, said that he
thought Mr. Breiden1hal had stated
the situation correctly. Mr.. Love has
a telegram from Arkansas City, an.
nouncing the election Of Brown (fu-
sion) over Beekman rep for repre-
sentative from Cowley county.
Indications are that Mckinley has
carried Leavenworth county by 500
plurality Gov Morrill, has run far
ahead of the national ticket, but the
returns from the country precincts are
tardy, owing to the great length of the
ticket Broderiek (rep,l, for congress
man, runs up with Morrill,.
Shawnee county rolled up the usual
republican majority. The count is
progressing slowly on account of the
big ballot but if the percentage is
maintained Mckinley VIII have $500
majority. MorrilPs majority will
reach 1900 according to indications,
while Curtis for congress will get even
a larger majority. Sterne (rep) has
been elected senator, and McKeever,
/ Brooks and Larimer, the three repub-
lican candidates for the legislature,
each has a good majority.
Indications are that Mckinley has
carried Douglas county by 1900 plur-
atty, a republican gain of 200 votes
over 1894. Morrill, has probably car
ried the county by I, $50, a republican
gain of 1,lOl over 1894 J. P. Harris
probably has 1850 plurality for con-
gress Henley and Barber, both re,
publicans, are elected representatives.,
and Johnson (rep(, state senator.
Indication are that Mckinley has
carried Montgomery county By $50
plurality, a fusion gain of 50 over 1892.
Morrill, has probably carried the coun-
ty by 200 plurasity, republican gain
of $50 over 1894 Kirkpatrick trep.)
probably has I25 plurality for con-
gress. Guilkey (Eepl probably elected
representative, AMI Fulmer (rep. state
senator.
A telegram from Hutchinson says:
Two wards of Hutchinson, the city of
Nickerson and seven country precincts
give Mckinley 200 majority. Iudica-
tons are Mckinley carries Reno eoun-
ty by 500, the state ticket by the same,
with Long, for congress, slightly ahead
of Mckinley. Dispatches from coun-
ties west, without complete returns,
indicate that it is close between Long
and Simpson, depending upon the vote
in Sedgwiek and sumner counties
Indications are that Bryan has car.
ried Sumner county by $50. Simpson
| (fusion), for congress, will have a ma.
jority over Long (rep.) Lawrence
rep and Harbaugh (fusion) are elect
ed representatives, and FOrney (tusion)
probably elected state senator.
Indications are Bryan has carried
Sedgwick county by 900 q fusion gain
over 1894 Leedy has probably carried
the county BY 1000 plurality, a fusion
gain over 1884, Simpson probably has
same plurality for congress. Charles
