CHICAGO. Nov. AT 9:l5 Secretary
Nelson, OF tho Democratic state CEN
trail committee, had received no re-
ports from county cha!rmen. Press re-
ports Indicated n majority OF $4,000 for
Mckinley In Cook county, and this was
generally conceded by tho committee.
Reports on which even an estimate OF
the state outside OF Cook county had
not been received. but the committee
still claims 5000 for Bryan. The vote
BY precincts runs ten per cent below
the registration. This bears out Greport
that the returns so far received are
only on the straight Democratic and
Republican tickets. omitting tho Peo-
PIES party from which the committee
counts upon 20.O00 TO 5000. AngeId In
sixty precincts has run 5000 ahead Of
Bryan, and on this basis the committee
claims his election. even though Bryan
should lose the state by 10000.

along the line. In some counties tise
increase IN the Republican vote being
larger than was expected.
At Republican state headquarters
early this morning Chairman Dawson
was confident that the Republican plu-

OF 1900. At the Democratic state head
quarters In Charleston the claim that
Bryan and Watts have carried the

As VIII be noted by the bulletins and
special dispatches published below, and
a comparison with the vote OF 1894. there
is uniform Republican gain In all
counties reporting. II was estimated at
tho state Republican headquarters that
