NORTH DAKOTA.
Republican by Over 5000.

BISMARCK, N. D.. November 4-The re-
publicans have carried the state by from
5000 to 5000. Fifty-three precincts out of
123 give Mckinley 2.6oS; Bryan. 1,617. This
is a republican gain, and shows that the
republican national, state and congression-
al tickets are elected, and that North Da-
kota will have Senator who favors the
gold standard. The roads in the country
are particularly bad on account of the re-
cent SLOW storm. 1t was impossible to drive
overland in certain parts of the Red River
valley.
Later reports from over the state showed
an Improvement in the weather from the

COLOR ADO.
Bryan by Over 100000.

DENVER, Colo, November 4.-Scattering
returns received up to $50 am. today show
that Bryan and Sewall have carried Colo
vote Of about 10000. No effort has yet
been made to tabulate the returns.
The democrat-silver republican fusion
state ticket, headed by Alva Adams, DEM
ccratic candidate for governor, apparently
has a plurality of 1900 over the populist-
silver party fusion ticket. Bailey, pop,
candidate for governor, carried this CARA
pahoe) county by about 100 plurality; but
most OF the other populous counties give
large majorties for Adams.
The Mckinley republican state ticket got
fewer votes than the republican electors,
and Waite, mddle-of-t the-road populist, was
poor fourth in the race.
1l:3O a.m.-The result on the elec ton of
state officers is still III doubt. Bryan's plu-
rality will reach 11OOOO in the state, and
congressman Shaffroth, silver republican,
and Bell, populist, are reelected by $1,000
TO $1,000 each. Returns from half the pre-
cincts in the city indicate that Bailey, pop
ulist silver candidate for governor, will
have small plurality in the city,. but ad-
vices from the state show that in many
places Adams. democratic silver republi-
can, has run far ahead.
No definite figures can be given on the
legislature, but the reelection of Senator
Teller is assured in any event, all parties
except the Mckinley republicans having
indorsed him.

IAN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY" ;"

ing McIAinlcy's Vote In Illinois.
CHICAGO, November 1--WE know now
that Mckinney has received an overwhelm-
ing majority in Illinois. This is no surprise
to those who have had an opportunity to
observe the trend of public opinion in this
state. The Palmer and Buckner vote will
be insignificant, which is matter Of no
surprise to the managers of the sound
money campaign in this state.
Democracy and the democratic party
still live. It's principles are eternal. 1 do
not rejoice at Mckinley's victory, but l do
rejoice in Bryans defeat. Our committee
will meet this week and proclaim to this
state and to the United States that we are
democrats, and claim to represent the dem
ocratic faith We have doubt but that
the conservative element of the party will
assert itself, and now that Altgeldism and
all tha: it represents has been utterly re-
pudated by our state. the sober class of the
people will assert itself and democracy
will be re-established on It's ancient lines.
Il rejoice, as an American citizen that
the capacity Of the American people to
govern themselves in peace as in war has
been demonstrated in what has been the
mCst crucial test to which the republic has
ever been subjected.

HOW IT LOOKS AT CHICAGO.
Mckinley's Majority May BE Cut Dow n
From First Figures.

CHICAGO, November At is reasonably
certain that Mckinley and Hobart are
elected, but the majority is likely to be

narrow one. much narrower one than
has been looked for the result of the
earlier dispatches. The following votes are
conceded to Mckinley: Connecticut, q: Hi

ia. .; New Hampshire. 1; New Jersey, 10:
New York Sc: Ohio, 23; Pennsylvania. 81
Rhode Island. 4; Vermont. 4: Wisconsin,

The probabilities point with great GER
tainty. to Delaware. with its three votes
and Indiana. with fifteen, as republican, as
furnishing more than the 22+ requisite to
estimate majority in the electoral col
lege Three votes of North Dakota appar-
emily belong to Mckinley, and the same
may be said of three votes of Oregon and
thirteen Of Kentucky, but in all of these
cases the returns are too inadequate to
Justify definite conclusion.
The following votes are conceded to
