CHICAGO, Nov. 4-The returns indi-
cate the probable election of Mckinley
and Hobart, although returns are so
meager from number of doubtful
states that this conclusion can only be
reached by an estimate based upon the
gains and losses. The best estimates
obtainable indicate that Maine and Yer.
mont have given majOrities somewhat
reduced from the September elections !;
that New Hampshire gives about co.
900; Massachusetts about 100000 and
Rhode Island and Connecticut proper
tionate majorities, all for Mckinley /;
New York is estimated at above 250.-
900 and Pennsylvania at 100000.
Maryland has been carried for the
Republican candidate for president by
O majority exceeding 10000 and Della
ware is Republican, although the plu-
rality is not likely to exceed 1000. The
returns from West Virginia are not suf-
ticent to justify the claim of either
party. Ohio has given very large Re-
publican plurality and Kentucky is ap.
parently assured TO the Mckinley

dent assertions to the contrary of the
Republican managers, and the same is
probably true of North Carolina. In
diana and Michigan, as we'll as Mime.
sofa indicate heavy Republican gains
and strong probability that they have
gone for Mckinley. Illinois will give
Mckinley over 100000 plurality and
Nebraska and North and South Da-
kota are very close and still in doubt.
Wyoming seems to have gone for Nc
Kinley
The returns from the Pacific coast
states are tCo meager to justify and

of Virginia, South Carolina, Flor
ida, Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Col ral1, Nevada,
Montana and Idaho I ay safely be
placed in the Bryan column. The re-
turns from Kansas and Texas are scat
tering and indicate nothing, although
heavy Republican gains are reported
from Dallas and Galveston.
Later returns seem to indicate that
West Virginia, Michigan and Kentucky

his way out through the crowd, dodg.

his home.
Mr.. Bryan's homecoming was a
modest ovation. He was met at the
railroad station by large escort of the
Bryan home guards, consisting largely
OF farmers, who received him with a
shout of welcome as he descended from
the steps of his carriage, the accom-

ous concourse of people followed in pro-
cession as the carriage wound its way
through the streets. The sidewalks
were lined with people and there were
many shouts along the way for the
Democratic standard bearer, inter.
spersed quite frequently with cries for
his opponent.
1t was indeed an imposing home COM
ing when William j. Bryan reached his
residence. A large number of his
neighbors and friends were assembled
in front of the house to receive him,
and as the procession drew up before
these the Bryan home guard formed a
line reaching from the street to his door.
The band started the air which the
nominee has asked to be the campaign
air, Home, Sweet Home" and when
at last he reached the house mighty
shout went up from over thousand
throats. He then made short speech.

The election is over and Canton has
had an honor conferred upon her by the
people of this country which may never
occur again. We congratulate Major Mo
Kinley on the successful campaign he has
just made. The people have decreed
that the Presidency shall go to Republi
can this year and we know of no Repub-
lican that we would rather see the honor
conferred upon than Major Mckinley.
He is our fellow townsman. He has
mingled with us for nearly thirty years
He had perfect right to seek the presi-
dsncy. Like Mr.. Cleveland he started
his political career by being elected to q
county Office, and gradually mounted
the ladder Of fame until he reached the
Presidency. This fact of itself demon
strates the glory of our free institutions.
The humbIest citizen Of the land today
may become the ruler of the people to-
morrow. The battle is over. Mckinley
is elected and we gracefully submit.

May be Seen in the Returns From Ohio
Which are Small for Mckinley.
Columbus, November 5.-(Special.)- y
Chairman MoConville Of the StaJe Demo-
cratic executive committee, states that
Ohio will give Mckinley a plurality of
less than $4,000. The returns from each
county show heavy Democratic gain,
and it is possible, at the present rate of
gain, that the state will give Mckinley
plurality of not more than $4,000.
Thirty counties in the state, inolud-
ing Hamilton and franklin counties and
exclusive of Cuyahoga, show net Demo-
cratic gain over last year Of 22,SSs. The
returns indicate that the Republican losses
over the vote of 1895 Will approximate
600 In each county. Some ardent No
KInley men do not blame this upon the
silver movement SO much as on Foraker's
apathy and the open bolt of his friends.

THE COMMON BLACK COAT.

1t Is Feared That 1t May he Superseded
by One of Lighter Color.
1t would appear from one of their
trade organs that tailors are becoming q
little anxious about the prospects of ne
black coat OF civilization. They fear t
is in GUI ,cr If being superseded by a
CarmCli e. T. .,hter hue, if not Of varie.
gated pattern. Perhaps, if they were to
give voice t. their deeper apprehensions,
they would say that there was more at
stake than the black coat There can, at
any rate, be little doubt, whether the
tailors are willing to admit it or not,
that with the fate of the black coat is
bound up that of the black waistCoat.
Whether the two have been lovely and
pleasant i'll their lives is a matter Of
opinion but we feel sure that in death
they would not be divided
We mean no disrespect to the vest in
describing it as a parasite of the coat.
1t is humble dependant which has
only found its way into society under
the wing Of its influential patron, to
whom it adheres with single breasted
fidelity, rewarded on the other side by
an attachment which is rarely broken
save for a short period during the sum-
mer months.
The trousers, it is true, are connected
with the two upper garments by no such
feudal tie, but their own union is com.
plete and, except in very hot weather,
indissoluble. Hence, the more farsight-
ed tailOrs no doubt perceive clearly
enough that if the black coat goes we
shall be within measurable distance Of
the "tweed suit. Nor are there want
ing those who would do their best to
accelerate the catastrophe.
Animated by the restless spirit of the
age, its impatience Of sobriety and its
thirst for change and color in costume,
as in life, there is school Of so called
reformers who are endeavoring to urge
the wearers of black coats to revolt. Let
them give free play, exclaim these an
"rchistic counselors, to their taste in
checks and stripes" and they will be
able to cut far more picturesque figure
at q far smaller annual outlay. With the
outlay, of course, the public is not con-
cerned, though that matter, doubtless,
is not without its interest for the tailors,
but we own to some uneasiness at the
idea Of the entire community indulging
its multifarious taste i'll checks and
stripes in a headlong pursuit of the pic
turesque.
We have all of us, indeed, seen the
experiment tried under very favorable
circumstances, but with more than du-
bious results by those little bands Of
vocal and instrumental artists, gener-
ally six or eight in number, who are
usually to be met with at race meetings
or on the sands at popular seaside re-
sorts. These pioneers Of dress reform
have entirely discarded the black coat,
preferring one of gayer color, with no.
ticeably elongated tails, and the free
dom with which they indulge their taste
in checks and stripes may almost be said
to border upon license. Yet the effect,
even with the addition of an open shirt
collar of Elizbethan proportions, cork
ed face and a banjo cannot be described
as entirely picturesque. London Tele.
