2O,OOO-Returns From All Parts of
the State-Republicans Elected to
the Lower House.

Returns from the state election in
Utah are far from complete all of Salt
Lake county not yet having been re-
ported. From three counties. Garfield,
San Juan and Wayne, no returns have
yet been received.
The figures show that Bryan's major
ity in the house will go little higher
than indicated in yesterdays Herald,
and will reach $4,000
Kings majority for congress will be
from $4,000 to 100000 There is an error
in the vote of Cache county, as re-
ported, that may make a difference of
1000 one way or the other on the con-
gressional majority.
The legislative situation is as given
yesterday. The senate appears to be
solidly Democratic In the house there
will be So Democrats. with a probable
ity that the number will be increased
to 40 or 43 out of the total of As. So far
as heard from the only Republican
elected is Kimball, in Carbon county.
In eight other counties returns are too
incomplete TO determine results. These
are Garfield, Wayne, Beaver, Willard,
San Juan. Rich, Kane and Grand. In

The bulletins received here yesterday
afternoon and evening revived the
dropping spirits of the silver men, and
as the encouraging news came in,
great crowds collected at The Herald
and in front of the Western Union
eagerly waiting for something definite.
At one time the situation seemed to in
dicate the election of Bryan and a
hundred impromptu celebrations were
inaugurated all over the city. The
name of the silver champion rent the
air, and every encouraging bulletin
was received with cheers.
1t was not until a late hour, when
it became evident that no positive an
nouncement would be received, that
the crowds dispersed.
During the afternoon few bets were
made, the Mckinley men giving heavy
odds.

such splendid work for Bryan in Ne

mountain district gave Governor Bradley
a little over 12,0O0 majority last year and
mas Deen counted on all along TOR 15.C00.
returns from over hair the counties OF

publican majority upon which basis the

state by approximately LOCO majority.
OFFICIAL COUNT.
The official count will be made Thurs
day and Friday. The sudden transfer of
kentucky from the sure Mckinley
10 the doubtful column early this morn
-ng. was caused by simultaneous re-
port from tier OF counties n the west
end or the state, where the Populist and
Tree silver Democrats have full sway,
wnlcn gave surprisingly large Democratic
maloriues. One OF these counties,
Graves, from which no report could be
received last night, today gave $500 ma
Jor-ty for Bryan-a majority of 1856
greater than the total combined vote of
tie Democrats and the Populists last
year. All the important Democratic gains
were made in the four congressional dis
tricts south and west of Louisville, where
nine-tenths of the Populists of Kentucky
are conferred The fusion of Populists with
the silver Democrats was perfect, and the
latter captured the entire four congress
sional seats in exchange for two places
on the electoral ticket.
Among the Republicans who went down
in the Populisuc wreck were Congress
man Hunter. who managed last years
campaign for Governor Bradley, and
CONGRESSMAN Lewis, two of the ablest
campaigners in Kentucky politics
In Louisville and Lexington and in the
Fifth Seventh. Eighth and Eleventh dis
tricts. the Republicans made brilliant
gains. but they were almost wiped Out by
the Democra tic-Populist fusion of west
e-n Kentucky.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Governor Alt
geld gave the following statement to
the press this afternoon:
ITO the Democrats of Illinois:
.Although defeated, desire to thank
you for the loyal support which you
have given me, and 1 congratulate you
on the heroic fight you have just made.
Consider that only six months ago, our
great party lay PROSTATE; it had been
betrayed into the hands of stock job
bers and monopolists by President
Cleveland; it has been robbed of every
thing Democratic except name; it
stood for no great principle, and its
flesh was being torn by political birds
of prey 1t was loaded with political
deadheads, men who never did any
thing for the party except to ride it,
and it was infested with political YER
min of both the smooth and rough
and dusty variety. Yet under these sore
conditions the party broke the cords
with which the Liliputians had bound
1t: it rose with energy; 1t cut loose
from the domination of trusts and syn
dicates; it repudiated the man who be-
trayed it; it threw off the lead of dead
heads; it drove out the political YER
min and with a new inspiration pro-
poused the cause of toiling humanity.
Although it was obliged to the reform,
while under the fire of the enemy. it
has made the most heroic political
fight ever seen in this country; it was
confronted by all the Doodle chat could
be scraped together on two continents;
it was confronted by all the banks, all
the trusts, all the syndicates, all the
corporations, all the great papers.
DOODLE.
ut was confronted by everything
that money could buy-that Doodle
could debauch, or that fear of Starva-
ton could coerce. 1t was confronted
by the disgust which the majority of
the American people felt towards the
national administration, for which
they hold us responsible. 1t was con-
fronted with the unfounded charge of
being partly responsible for the hard
times; it was confronted by a combin-
alton of forces such as had never be-
fore and win probably never united
again, and, worse still. the time was
too short to educate the public. While
we are defeated, our party is more Wig
orous and in better condition generally
than it has been for a third of a CEN
fury. / specially call your attention
to the utter insignificance as shown by
the returns of those men, who, after
having helped to ruin our party, were
either driven out or left in this cam
paign. Two years ago, these men were
with us and always insisted on occu-
plying front seats and wanted to lead:
then, we were not confronted with any
powerful opponent, and we lost the
state by upwards of 10000 majority"
NO sINEws OF WAR.
This year. these men opposed US,
