LINCOLN, Nov. Returns by coun-
ties. which begin coming in today,
merely serve to emphasize what was
apparent early this morning, that
Bryan and the entire fusion state
ticket have carried in Nebraska The
plurality will not be sweeping. but
each belated precinct which comes in
seems to make more decisive the vic
tory. The Republicans have not yet
ceased hoping, and Chairman Post VIII
not concede defeat. but il Will take a
landslide in all the remote quarters OF
the state to change the tide. The Re
publican detection seems TO have been
largest in the cities and towns, where
heretofore has been their strength.
Best estimates place the majority for
Bryan in the state at 1000. and it may
be slightly larger. Holcomb. fusion
for governor. seems to be running
slightly ahead of the electoral ticket.
OF the six congressional districts, the
First is undoubtedly Republican by
narrow margin, the Second Repub-
licap, the Fourth and Fifth in doubt
and the Third and Sixth fusion. Few
figures have been received on the legis-
lature, but prospects for the Silver
Democrats and Populists controlling
both branches are the best.
