CHAIRMAN JONES GIVES UP
Comedies the Election of Major McKin-

Comedies the Election of Major McKin-
ley-Issues a Statement.
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. THE result Of
the Presidential election is apparently
no longer in doubt. 1t has been one
of the closest contests that the people
have been called on to determine in
recent years. We have claimed the
election on our advices from states that
were admittedly in doubt, in which we
knew there had been many frauds, and
from which there were evidences of
tampering with the returns.
1t seems now to be apparent that,
while Mr.. Bryan, after making the
most brilliant campaign in the history
of our country, and having carried
most of the states claimed to be doubt
full, has not carried enough to assure
his success in the electoral college,
Bryan electors have been chosen from
all of the states south of the Potomac
and Ohio, except West Virginia, and
all those west of the Missouri, except
California and Oregon.
He has 100 electoral votes, and this
number may be increased by final re-
turns from states yet in question. He
has not obtained enough votes to carry
the electoral college. Thus this re-
markable campaign closes with the
election of William Mckinley.
Z The result was brought about by
every kind of coercion and intimidation
on the part of the money power, includ-
ing threats of lock-outs and dismissals,
and impending starvation; the employ
ment of by far the largest campaign
fund ever used in this country aud by
the subordination of a large portion OF
the American press.
AS chief executive, Mr.. Mckinley
will have the cordial support of the
millions of patriotic Americans who
have cast their votes for William Jen-
nings Bryan. They bow to the majesty
of the Office, and abide by the result
with none of the mutterings that
would have come from the moneye6
powers, had it not been successful
They are confident the gold standard
can not give the promised prosperity
but will gladly welcome it if it comes
They will continue the great struggle
for the uplifting of humanity, and the
maintenance of the dignity of our
country in the establishing of the
American monetary system. And the
Democratic party, aided by its present
allies, will still uplift the bimetallic
standard and bear it on to victory.

Republicans Concede Electors, State
Ticket, Congressman and Legislature.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 6.-Although the
returns from Nebraska are fragment
ary and may remain incomplete for
two or three days, enough is known to
warrant the conclusion that Nebraska
has been carried by Mr. Bryan and the
fusion state ticket: with majorities
ranging from 5000 to 5000. This is
conceded by the Republicans
The defections in the Republican
congressional districts will defeat four
out of six Republican candidates for
congress. Mercer of the second being
the only man on that ticket elected.
From the returns thus far received it
is manifest that the fusionists will
control both houses of the state legis-
lature
The Republicans will have eleven
senators and forty-one members of the
house, while the fusionists will muster
twenty-one senators and fifty-nine
representatives, or nearly two-thirds
majority in each branch of the legis-
lature

pared by the Associated Press from
the telegraphic returns up to midnight
shows the election of 201 Republicans
to the next House, 124 Democrats, 10
Populists, fusionists and Independents,
a number which perhaps should be
slightly increased, as a few of those
classified as Democrats have independ-
ent leanings. Some districts are in
doubt, and no attempt has been made
to include Washington and South Da-
kota and three districts in Texas in
the list, owing to the meager and con-
hicting returns. Washington has

pendent on congressman.

RECEIVER FOR SANTA FE.
Kansas Portion of the Systems Again In
the Courts Hands.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. County At
torney HI. I. Phinney of jefferson
county, in the name of the state Of
Kansas, yesterday brought suit in the
Leavenworth district court to compel
the Santa Fe railroad company to dis
pose of its real estate in Kansas.
Judge Myers appointed Charles F.
johnson of Oskaloosa as receiver. The
receiver is placed in control of all the
company's property except the rolling
stock, the order including right-of-
way. telegraph lines, depots, round
houses, shops and all other property
that is staked to the ground. The
bond Of the receiver was fixed at
$4,000.
The receiver was ordered to enter
into an agreement with the officials of
the railroad company to operate it's
line within five days, and if, at the ex-
piration of that time, the company had
failed to enter into such an agreement,
the receiver was ordered to take charge
of the rolling stock and operate the
line
The suit was brought under the alien
land law of Kansas, which prevents
of their stock is held by aliens, from
holdinp land in Kansas It is esti-
mate that the company owns $50, ,OOO,-
600 worth of property in Kansas. The
suit covers the entire main line, which
owns all the real estate. 1t is claimed
that the suit is the outgrowth of an
old fight of long standing among the
stockholders of the Santa Fe, and that
it was instigated at the instance of
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
and Newman Erb, the well known
railroad man.
General Solicitor A. A. Hurd, of the
Santa Fe in Kansas refused to talk
about the case tonight. He had heard
indirectly that the receiver had been
appointed, but said no papers had yet
been served on the officials at this
point. 1t is understood that the COM
pany's first move will be to ask that
the case be transferred to the United
States court.
This is the first case ever filed in
Kansas under the alien land law, and
its result will be watched with great
interest by capitalists and big corpora
tions. Receiver johnson is the Repub-
lican state senator-elect of jefferson
and Douglas counties, and prominent
business man of OSkaloosa.

Electoral votes necessary to choice-224

CHICAGO, Nov. THE prospect is
now that Major McKinley's el' ,toral
vote will be 2SO, giving him a majority
over w. j. Bryan of 113. This includes
Kentucky and Wyoming in the Nc
Kinley column, although it is not yet
positively known that they have gone
Republican. Almost complete returns,
however, make it reasonably sure that
they are for Mckinley by very narrow
margins-less than 1000 in each case.
On the other hand, it is not impossi-
BILE that McKinley's electoral vote may
be cut down to 261, for the last returns
from South Dakota show a tie, with
three precincts to hear from, which
may give the state to either Mckinley
or Bryan. In case it goes to Bryan,
and Kentucl1y's thirteen and Wyom-
ings two doubtful votes also go to
Bryan, McKinley's vote will be only
261, majority of rs. McKinley's ma
jority cannot be less than this.
In Wyoming, Mckinley is in the lead
by 100 votes or more, while a large ma
jority of the precincts not heard from
are Republican. 1t is likely that the
final count will show all three Repub-
publican electors successful, as one of
certainty is.
The returns received to the present
time show that the Republicans have
carried seven counties in the state and
the Democrats five. The Republicans
will control both branches of the state
legislature with nineteen Democrats
and thirty-eight Republicans on joint
ballot.

The returns show some interesting
features, and in some respects have
been a surprise to the leaders of both
political parties
The New England states have, as
was expected, given heavy pluralities
for Mckinley, without exception. The
Republican ticket was successful in
Massachusetts, beyond what was
claimed for it by the most enthusiastic
prophet of Republican success.
New York and Pennsylvania vie with
each other for the largest plurality,
and the figures at hand do not indicate
which one of them has surpassed the
other. Each state has given the Re-
publican candidate a plurality of be-
tween 275, 900 and 100000.
To these states, Illinois is a good
third in its plurality for the winning
candidate. If the percentage of gain
over the presidential election of 1892
that has so far been shown continues
to the end, it will give a plurality of
not far from IT'S 900.
In the gubernatorial race, Altgeld
has been badly beaten, but is not
buried so deep as, and is probably
about 0,OOO ahead of, the Democratic
national ticket. There has been, evi-
IDENTIFY, large vote cast throughout
the state for Mckinley and Altgeld.
The Virginia electors will without
question be for Bryan, but they have
been elected by heavily reduced Dem
ocratic vote.
The Republicans have abandoned all
hope Of Texas, and the state is con-
ceded to Bryan The fusion between
the Populists and Republicans in this
state did not prove success.
South Carolina. Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana are all fo1
Bryan by usual maioritjes.
