state WAS IN 1885. WhNn Moore, the Re

supreme court, had u p.dru.ity Of u ,4oi
over McGT,th. laIs Len. oCratIc rival
West Nng Ina is confidently claimed
by the Republicans. and the chairman
OF the Democratic state central COM
mittee has conceded the state to Nc
kinley.
Tennessee presents some of the inter
estlng features OF tie campaign. The
state at large is claimed by 10th par
ties, and because Of the length of the
ticket the returns :Cr coming in so
slowly that neither side seems entirely
justified i'll claiming the electoral vote
with any CDL1id"nce
North Carolina Is claimed by totn
parties. but as in Tennessee TIE returns
are very "low and no definite con-
clusion Is possible at present.
South CaroLL., Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana are all for
Bryan by about the normal Democratic
majorities.
The Virginia electors will, without
question be Bryan, LuH they have been
elected by q heavily reduced Demo-
cratic vote.
The Republicans have abandoned all
hope of Texas and the state is conceded
to Bryan. The fusion between the
populists and the Republicans in this
state did not prove a success.
NebraCka has gone for Bryan, not
withstanding the Republican claims,
but Kansas has, as yet, said practically
nothing. The returns show Democratic
gains in some districts and these are
off ct by Republican gains IN other
parts Of the state. Both parties claim
the state, but the few scattering re-
turns that are in SO, far are Of SO in
definite nature as TO make any claims
of very uncertain character.
Results in the Northwest.
Wisconsin is sure fer the Republican
column by an enormous plurality.
Minnesota. which was regarded as
doubtful by both I arties, has surprised
everybody by the s.ze of its Republican
plurality and Mckinley will have ap-
proximGtely 10000 to 10000 more votes
i'll the state than Bryan.
The attest infCrmat On from the two
Dakotas shows that North Dakota is
very sure for Mckinney and the proba,
bility Is that South Dakota will be
found Ill the same cO-Umn, although
the result is close.
The Republicans claim Wyoming
and Washington, but the probabilities
seem against them i'll both states.
Oregon has gone for Mckinley, and
Colorado, as was expected, has given
Bryan a heavy plurality. Idaho, Mon.
tana, Utah and Nevada have all gone
for Bryan by heavy majorities.
California Is Close.
California has, OH the strength of the
returns at hand, undoubtedly gone fol
Mckinley. the city of San Francisco
showing gain Oh 1892 Of 6,947.
Delaware, where the Republican
party has been rent in twain because O.
the Addicks- Higgins fight, has kept il
the Republican column. The vote TO
the Republican electors in this stat,
has been unusually large, showing tina
the factional dispute did not extend il
any great measure to the nationa
ticket.
The vote of Maryland has shown al
interesting reversal from that of tn
last presidential election. Clevclan,
carried the state by plurality of 81 ,l3
and tins year Mckinley has pluralit.
Of slightly over $1,000 in the city o
Baltimore alone and of about $4,000 il
the state at large.
