The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1896-11-05

cts and may pull through, although it
will be close matter II he does.
At o'clock the republican majority on
the national ticket seems to be nearly
10000.
There is no doubt that Mckinley has
carried Hennepin county by majority OF
several thousand. II looks as il the pre-
dtction of Charles A. Pillsbury made on
the eve of election that Mckinley would
carry the county by at least 10000 ma
jority, would not come within a great deal
Of being verified. It looks more as If the
rather conservative claim Of Chairman s..
B. Lovejoy Of the republican joint COM
mittee would prove something like cor
rect. Mr.. Lovejoy thought Mckinley
would go out Of Hennepin with about $500
majority.
In the towns Of st. Louis Park, Golden
Valley, Edna Mills, Robbinsdale and Rich
field gives Mckinley 584, Bryan 81. The
same towns give Clough 1853, Lind 403. In
70 precincts and towns Mckinley has 1, 296,
Bryan $40, Clough 1,06S, Lind 1000. At this
rate OF gain, Lind will carry Minneapolis
and Hennepin county, provided Mckinley $
majority is something in the neighborhood
of 5000. In the precincts above noted,
Fletcher has S76, Owen SIT, while Pratt in
the city has 1874, Ankeny 636.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov. 3.-Elmer E..
Adams, chairman republican congressional
committee. says the indications point to
Congressman Eddy's reelection. He Is
running stronger than Mckinley. Every
where the returns are too meagre to make
definite claims.
The Times estimates that the repub-
licans have carried Minneapolis for Nc
Kinley by $500; by little or nothing for
Clougi1: that the republicans eject their
congressional. their county ticket except
sheriff. and their entire city ticket.
Phillips is apparently elected sheriff over
Holmberg, as he has been running a phe-
nomenal race and making tremendous
gains in republican precincts.
Crookston, Mimi, Nov. 4.-The condition
of the roads in the country prevent the
possibility Of getting returns promptly ex-
cept from railroad towns. The figures OBJ
tainable to date from twelve towns give
Mckinley 1885; Bryan, 1,19s; Clough, 1902;
Lind 1878: Eddy and McKinnon are both
running ahead of their ticket.
Anoka, Mimi, Nov. 3-Anoka county
will give Mckinley plurality Of 625.
Clougf1 $50, Morris COS. Ten precincts out
Of sixteen give Mckinley 945. Bryan 46o.
Clough 935, Lind Al.
Loren Fletcher has certainly been re-
elected by handsome majority over all
and it is probable that he will go back
to congress with all the way from 5000
to 1000 plurality. Twenty-six precincts
last night gave him 1925 against 2,313 for
Sidney M. Owen, his opponent on the
fusion ticket. The total vote counted IN
these twenty-six precincts is about one
ninth of that in the city, and on the same
basis it would not be very difficult to hg-
ure out a handsome majority for Mr..
Fletcher The returns were taken indis-
criminately as they came in to City Clerk
Haney and all sections of the city were
repres ented.
CONGRESS-
Washington, Nov. Sat midnight Chair
man Babcock gave out the following
statement:
1.-THE returns received up to this hour
fully verify the predictions which have
been made by the republican congress
sional committee. The f1fty-fifth congress
will contain nearly, if not as many, re-
publican members as did the f1fty-fourth.
I believe that the senate will have a good
working sound money majority and
feel confident that the decisive verdict OF
the people will bring into line many SEN
ators who have hitherto wavered in re-
gard to the silver question and have cast
their votes with the silver party. Mr.. Nc.
Kinley will have behind him not only q
sound money house, but a sound money
senate as we'll, both thoroughly committed
to protective tariff

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The Chicago Tribune
