NO EARLY FIGURES FROM
PIVOTAL STATES.
ALL EYES ON ILLINOIS.
Polls Close Late In Western States
New York Not the Deciding State
This Year, as in the Past
Hours of Opening and Clos
ing - The Precincts of
the Nation.

CHICAGO, Nov 3.-Hitherto in the
Presidential elections New York has
been pivotal state, and as the polls
closed there at o'clock in the after
noon. the result of the election was
usually determined before midnight.
This year interest will center chiefly
in states west of the Aneghenies, and
particularly in states west of the Mis-
sissippi. AS rule the polls will close
at later hour, and the telegraphic
facilities are comparatively limited.
In Illinois there is provision for
amending the state constitution, and
in Chicago another for the issue of
local bonds, both of which, under the
law, must be counted first, and this
will necessarily involve some delay.
Every effort will be made to prosecute
the work as rapidly as possible, but
the limitations above indicated exist,
and even partial figures will be later
than in the past.
The following table shows the hours
local time) for opening and closing the
polls in the various states;

Election Return Blanks Cause MisglV-
ings Among Kansas Fuslonists.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 3.-The fusion
leaders have learned that Secretary of
State Edwards has furnished election
return blanks to the county clerks,
providing for the tabulation of the
votes cast for the Bryan and Sewall
electors under separate heads-Demo-
cratic and People's-and they look
upon it as a scheme to cause confusion,
and thus open the way for the Repub-
licans, if not TO steal the state, to in
validate the election, should the cleo
toral vote of the state be thrown to
Bryan and the result in the nation
hinge on the Kansas electors,
This forenoon John w. Breidenthal,
J. Mack Love, G. C. Clemens, David
Overmyer and other Populist and Dem
ocratic leaders held consultation
lasting three hours At this it was de-
cided to notify the Populist and Dem
ocratic county committeeman through
tomorrow night, and if the judges of
election should not tabulate the fusion
votes under one heading, to secure
writs of mandamus in the district
courts 70 compel the county commits
sioners to so canvas the result Friday.
1t was also decided at this meeting to
take similar step in the Supreme
court to compel the state board Of can
vassers to so canvass the vote on state
and legislative candidates when the
board shall meet on the last Wednesday
of November.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 3.-Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan returned home yesterday morn
ing for day after several weeks abb
sence. There were no demonstrations
on the way from Council Bluffs, as it
was not known when they would leave
there. On. their arrival here many
friends met them. They were driven
to their home and spent the day very
quietly resting. Mr.. Bryan retired early
and slept well all night. Before doing
so he expressed mistaken confidence,
but said that if three should by any
chance be defeat now, silver's friends
should at once prepare for 1900
Seven o'clock this morning found Mr..
Bryan speeding westward on his last
days work of the campaign. There
were comparatively few people gath
cred about the depot to see him off.
The first stop of the day was made
at Seward, Republican place, and.
there was an exceptionally large dis
play of yellow badges, fully half of the
crowd being so decorated. Mr.. Bryan
was, however, respectfully received,
and was listened to with marked at
tention. While he talked for only
about ten minutes he delivered very
pointed address. Referring to the APP
pearance of so many gold colors he in
timated to his hearers that the proper
material for the farmer to use who
would display gold badge was straw,
for he said: "Under existing circum-
stances, Wall street gets your wheat
and leaves you nothing but the straw"
At York, which was reached at
o'clock, hundreds of farmers were wait
ing and the enthusiasm was great.
There were some yellow badges; but
not nearly so many as at Seward. Mr..
Bryan was introduced as the next
President of the United States, and he
replied that if Nebraska furnished the
next President it depended great deal
on the people of Nebraska and how
they should vote. This brought out a
great cheer and assurances that the
state was all right for him. He said
that this year the people had tried an
experiment in choosing presidential
candidate from west of the Mississippi
river, and that some of the people of
Nebraska seemed to be very much
afraid that there would be President
from the west. His speech was to the
farmers, and found ready response with
them.
The train slowed up as he went
through Bradshaw, and the few hum
bred people assembled at the depot
cheered Mr.. Bryan loudly. He stood
on the back platform of the special car
and bowed in response to the greeting.
There was a large crowd at Aurora,
but it included large percentage of
gold badges which were, however,
more conspicuous about the train than
in the vicinity of the platform from
which Mr.. Bryan spoke.
Grand Island was the extreme West
ern point of the days tour, as it is the
most western place visited by Mr.. Bry-
an during the campaign. There was
an excellent meeting at that place.
The attendance was large and the
Bryan sentiment very strong. Judging
from the vociferous applause and the
absence of gold badges. The return
trip was begun at 1l;20 o'clock.

LAST FIGURES GIVEN OUT.
The Various National Committees Wind
Up Their Work.

The Various National Committees Wind
Up Their Work.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Chairman Bynum
Of the national Democratic committee
returned to the Palmer house head
quarters yesterday morning from a
stumping tour in Indiana. In speak
ing of the general political situation,
he said: "The states of Minnesota,
Michigan, Iowa, Illinois and Kentucky
will cast their electoral votes for sound
money. hope Missouri will do the
same, and feel confident that there is
chance Of saving Nebraska"
Chairman Campau of the Democratic
national executive committee, in his
final estimates, gives only New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic states to
Mckinley with a total of lit votes,
claims the 'solid South, the mountain
and Pacific coast states and Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri. Nebraska and the
Dakotas for Bryan with 2S3 electoral
votes and puts Ohio, Wisconsin and
Delaware, So votes, in the doubtful
column.
Senator Butler, chairman of the
Populist national committee, expresses
confidence that Bryan will carry every
state west of the Mississippi river ex-
cept possibly Iowa, every state south
of the Ohio and Potomac and Mary
land, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan, with Ohio in doubt. Vice
Chairman Washburne claims that
Bryan will poll the full Populist vote
and will sweep every state west of the
Missouri river. Chairman Stevens of
the Silver party is equally confident
and declares that the best sign is that
the Republicans sprung patriotism"
as the issue at the close of the cam
paign. He also predicts the election of
a silver congress.
Chairman Hanna and other members
of the Republican national committee
still stand firmly by their claim of 81
votes sure for Mckinley, as made
Saturday, and say they will have no
further estimates.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 3.-It is es-
timated that the vote of the state will
be over go, 900, as the women will vote
for the first time at this election. The
chairman of the Democratic committee
clgims that Bryan's majority will be
over 10000; that King, Democrat, for
Congress, will be elected by over 5000
majority, and that the Democrats will
have twenty-seven majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature.
The chairman of the Republican com
mittee does not name figures on the
presidential vote, but says that the Re-
publieans will elect the congressman
and carry majority of the Legis-
lature.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 3.-Senator
Blackburn, who has been replying to
Secretary Carlisle throughout Ken

MY estimate, which 1 consider con-
sentative, gives Kentucky to Bryan by
from. $4,000 to 10000. 1 would not
compromise on 10000. Colonel Whal-
len and others assure me that Louis
vile will give Bryan majority. The
Republicans claim that district by
5000 and upward. They will not carry
it by more than 1900 at their best"

Peculiar Condition of Politics in Texas
Brief Forecasts.


AUSTIN, Texas. Nov. s.-Democratic
State Chairman Blake says there will
be 500, 900 votes cast in the state, Of
which number Bryan and Sewall win
get 275, 900; Bryan and Watson, 10000;
Mckinley and Hobart, 125, 1000, and
Palmer and Buckner, 10000. Blake
also says the state Democratic ticket
will win by anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 majority.
Chairman John Grant of the Repub-
lican party figures the total vote at
100000, but claims from 2O5, 900 to 21O,-
900 votes for the Mckinley electors and
the Populist state ticket ON the fusion
arrangement. Conservative politicians
figure out that of the 500, 900 votes the
Democrats are sure of 200, 900, and the
fusiouists, composing the Republicans,
Populists and gold Democrats, are also
sure of 100000, thus leaving 100000
votes as the uncertain quantity.
OF this number it is estimated that
most of it is a vest-pocket vote that
cannot be placed, and it is therefore
very unreliable and cannot be depend
ed on. The Republican leaders are
arranging matters so as to have the
Populists and silver Democrats waste
their strength between the Bryan and
Sewall and Bryan and Watson tickets.
If they can be successful in dividing
the vote they will undoubtedly get the
Mckinley electors. AS to the Con-
gressional lists, Democratic Chairman
Blake is claiming all thirteen districts,
while the epublicans claim two and
the Populists two. 1t is safe to say
that the Democrats will win in all but
two districts. The Tenth and Sixth
will go to Republicans and Populists
unless wonderful change takes place
tomorrow.

How TO walk Wei.

When a girl walks she should be
trained to hold her shoulders we'll back
and to keep her arms close to her body.
The chest will then be thrown out, not
form an inward curve, and the head
must be held up fearlessly. Some wo-
men go through life with the head held
a little forward, reminding one Of
nothing so much as an inquirlng tor
toise out on a voyage Of discovery.
The foot should be placed on the
ground on the bali first, not on the
heel, or quite fiat. The latter way
robs one Of all grace, and to put the
heel first is too ungainly for words.
1t is Just as ugly to mince along on the
toes; 1t looks as though the ground was
over-heated end unable to be trodden
on. Even when climbing a hill, or
mounting the rather dingy staircases
Of town-buiit houses and fats, the head
should be held up, not dropped as
though you-were searching for a lost
hXpence.

tomorrow

DENVER, COL, Nov. "a fusion was
early effected between the Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans and
silver party on presidential electors
pledged to Bryan and Sewall and on
Congressman Shafroth and Bell for re-
election. This combination, it il
conceded, will carry the State by
a very large majority. The
vote this year is estimated at 100, 600.
The supporters of Bryan and Sewal
claim for them a majority of 10000.
The Mckinley Republicans promise to
show twice the strength credited to
them by their opponents.

OreEon.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 3.-The Repub-

imum majority for Mckinley at 1850.
The latest estimates given out by the
Populist state committee put the ma
jority for Bryan electors at 1900 At
the state election held last June the
Democrats and Populists both had
tickets in the field, and their combined
vote on supreme judge exceeded the
Republican vote by 1890. The Ma
tional Democrats claim they will cast
at least 1000 votes in the state.

A test case was recently decided in
the Supreme Court Of New York State,
Special Term, in the matter of the
Rochester Whist Club against the
County Treasurer, in which 1t was held
that a mans club was his home, and
that a regularly incorporated club or
ganization did not come under the
provisions of the Raines excise law.
The decision. as handed down by Judge
Davy, says that "the application for an
order directing the County Treasurer Of
Monroe County to issue a liquor tax
certificate to the Rochester Whist Club,
under chapter 112 of the laws Of 1896,
is denied, and tho writ Of certiorari
wanted herein is quashed, but without
costs to either party" The case was
instituted solely to test the law in its
relations to social clubs.
