CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Returns from over
the state of Illinois indicate that Nc
Kinley has made big gains i'll proper
tion throughout the counties and towns
as he has in Chicago, seeming to justify
the claim of the central committee that
the state has gone lOS, 600 Republican.
If the gains which are already reported
hold up in the districts yet TO be heard
from, the majority, it is said, will ex-
ceed that figure. In the southern part
of the state the gains have not been so
heavy, and several towns and counties
reported give Bryan small majorities.
From all other parts of the state the
dispatches received at state headquar-
ters claim substantial Republican
majorities. In the dispatches com
pairing the votes of Tanner and
Mckinley, the former has in most in-
stances run slightly behind the latter.
The figures, however, plainly show
that Tanners loss was no gain for Alt
geld. Forman was the gamer. Com
parsons made with the vote cast for
Harrison in 1892 show very heavy gains
i'll nearly every instance over the Re-
publican vote cast that year. AT head
quarters considerable surprise was occa-
stoned over McKinley's vote i'll num-
Der of counties which were expected to
give Bryan majorities, but which in
stead have gone for the Republican
candidate

kota are very close and are still in
doubt Wyoming seems to have gone
for Mckinley. The returns from the
Pacific coast states are too meagre to
justify any claim respecting them.
The states of Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada,
Montana and Idaho may 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 re-
turns seem to indicate that West Vir-
ginia, Michigan and Kentucky can be
added to the Republican, column.

form an estimate upon them. Results
from scattering primaries We're received
and the little group gathered in the
library of the home of the nominee
compared them as best it could with
the results of four years ago The
members of the party figured that
Bryan would in all likelihood carry the
state. The returns on the congressional
vote as made to Mr.. Bryan were of no
value and nothing could be learned
from them. State Chairman Dahlman
of the Democratic state committee teie-
phoned from Omaha that the Mckinley
majority would be only about 600 or
500 and that he counted the state safe
for Bryan by about 10000
Further returns show that Bryan has
carried this state, that Taylor, Dem, is
elected governor, that s out of 10 con-
gressmen are Democrats.

REFUSES TO CONCEOE IT
Chairman Jones Insists That Bryan Is
Not Beaten.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Chairman Jones
says: This whole affair has been
most extraordinary. l have just re-
ceived word from Raleigh, n. c., and
it states that North Carolina is abso-
lutely safe for Bryan, and by at least
10000 majority, and yet reports have
been giving it to Mckinley. This is
only specimen of the way things are
going The Republicans seem to have
taken charge of the returns and are
sending them to suit their own purpose.
There is something wrong about the
things which have been going on to-
night.
Emphatically Claims Bryan's Election.
Both Democrats and Populists en-
phatically claim Bryan's election: Il
believe the early reports are to prepare
the country to believe that Mckinley is
elected" said Chairman George W.
Washburn of the Populist national
committee. "Our private adyices from
the states that we have claimed do not
indicate that Mckinley has carried one
of them and we feel justified i'll claim
ing that these early Republican reports
are for the purpose of preparing the
country to believe Mckinley is elected
whether he is or not and i'll case of q
close vote, should contest be made it
would operate to their advantage"

Pingree Also Elected.

1t is evident that the Republicans

governor by about the same majority.
Chairman Baker. of the Democratic
state committee declines to make any
statement at present further than that

ceived returns show average gains for

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 1.-The news
paper correspondents who gathered at
Mr.. Bryan's house for the purpose OF
receiving election returns found COM
Portable quarter on the lower floor of
the building and the figures were
brought to them without effort on their
part, but they might as well have been
in the offices of their respective papers,
SO far as getting at Mr.. Bryan was con-
cerned. He remained i'll his room dur
ing the entire evening, with the excep-
ton of minute, when he descended
the stairs and exchanged greetings
with. his journalistic callers, but he
then and afterwards declined posi-
lively, though courteously, to make any
statement for publication. His imme-
diate friends reported at midnight that
Mr.. BRYAN did not consider the cause
As Definitely Lost
But that on the contrary he considered
that there was still ground for hope of
success. He left orders that the prin-
cipal bulletins be sent to his rooms ana
he read them there, manifesting espe-
cial interest i'll the reports from Ne
braska. Mrs. Bryan did not lose her
customary cheerfulness in the face OF
the adverse reports and appeared well
prepared for the worst though evidently
not devoid of hope for better fortune
than the reports appeared to warrant.
She retired about 10 o'clock leaving the
entertainment of her guests to the lady
friends who had assembled to pass the
night with her. In case of the con-
J firmation of the report of his defeat it
is understood to be Mr. Bryan's lnten-
ton to issue an address urging the
maintenance of the silver cause as the
paramount issue for the next campaign.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 4. 4.-Rtsurns so
far received make it absolutely certain
that Bryan has carried the state by
probably 10000 plurality, and that the
Democrats have elected six silver con-
gressmcn.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 4.-Fig-

not available. Chairman Dawson of
the Republican state committee said
Mckinley has carried West Virginia by
from $4,000 to $4,000 and the Repub-
lican state ticket and four Republican
congressman are elected. The Demo
cratic headquarters make no claims but
express hope.
official reports from about half the
state show Republican gains every
where and there is now no longer any
doubt that Mckinley has carried West
Virginia.

indicating a Republican majority in
