Ohio which has all along been claimed

ohio, which has all along been claimed
by Chairman Jones as a state In which
Pryan would push Mckinley very close,
has given the Republican candidate an
overwhelming plurality.
In Michigan, later returns from the
state continue to add to the Republican
plurality. With fairly complete returns
PingTee's Is estimated at about 10000,
and McKinley's some $1,000 less. There
has been no change in the congressional
delegation, which stands 10 Republicans
and two fuslonlsts.
Although the returns from Nebraska
are fragmentary and may remain In
complete for two or three days, enough
Is known to warrant the conclusion that
Nebraska has been carried by Bryan
and the fusion state ticket with majori-
ties ranging from 5000 to 60OO This Is
conceded by Republicans.
Holcombe, the fusion nominee for gov
ernor, will run from 800 to 1900 lower than
Bryan 1t Is noticeable that the Repub-
llcan strongholds have shown decided
falling off, while the Democratic and
Populist counties have not only held their
their strength Of two years ago. The de-
fectlons in the Republican congressional
districts will get four out Of six Republi-
can candidates for congress. From the
returns thus far received 1t Is manifest
that the fusionists will control both
houses Of the state legislature.
The following dispatch reached Wich-
tia late last night: Place guard over
county clerks Office to prevent stealing
returns. We have elected entire ticket
A plan to rob us of our victory has been
discovered. Prevent the steal in your
county at all hazards. Full particulars
by letter. John w. Breidenthal, j. Mack

A special to The Journal from Yank-
ton, S. D., says: The state Of South
Dakota will go for Mckinley by some
what less than 600. The legislature Is
fusion by about 20 votes on joint ballot
which means a Popuist senator to sue
coed Kyle. Populist Andrew Lee Is
elected governor
Southern States.
In Kentucky, with two whole counties,
Leslie and Knott, and II precincts miss
ing, Bryan has plurality of 21S votes
in the state, but many of the returns are
unofficial and it seems highly probable
the state board will have to decide the
result Of the two missing counties. Les
lie is Republican, and gave Bradley TIC
majority. Knott county is Democratic,
and gave Hardin Dem.) over Bradley
last year $40 majority. The missing
precincts are distributed about equally
among Democrat and Republican coun-
ties.
In Texas about half the counties
in the state have been heard from
officially and, approximately, Bryan and
Sewall's plurality Is placed at 1000
Culberson aud the state ticket will beat
Kerby and Populist state ticket by 49,
GOO. Chairman Black claims that IL out
of 10 congressional districts have gone
Democratic, the Tenth being the only
doubtful one
Bryan has carried North Carolina
by not less than 10000. His vote Is
far in excess of that of Watson for
governor, who Is defeated by Russell
(Rep). The Democrats and Populists
have voted solidly for the fusion electors.
The legislature is anti-Democratic in
both houses.
South Carolina, Georgia. Mississippi
and Alabama are all for Bryan by about
the normal Democratic majority The
Virginia electors will, without question
be for Bryan, but they have been elected
by a heavily reduced Democratic vote.
The estimated majority for Bryan in
South Carolina Is 5000.
