turns from the State continue to show
Republican gains over the vote of 1892.
The leaders of the Republican party in the
upper peninsula claim that Mckinley g
plurality in that section will reach 20, 600,

claim the Republicans have carried the
State on the National ticket by nearly
so. 900 plurality.
Mayor Pingree of Detroit R., candidate
for Governor, has carried the State by
fully 10000, and runs more than 10 600
ahead of mis- ticket.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly Re-
publican, although lhe fusionists have
elected twenty-five Representatives and
five Senators. Two years ago John Dono-
van of Barr was the only anti-Repu blican
who was elected in either branch.
The Republicans have carried ten out of
the twelve Congressional districts. A. NJ.

UTAH..

SALT LAKE, UTAH. Nov, 4.-The Leg
islature in this State stands: Democrats
oS, Popuiists and Republicans 2 on joint
ballot, all for free silver. The Democratic,
SILVER Republican and Populist fusion on
the Bryan electors polled approximately
$1,000 votes and the Mckinley electors
l5,0Oo. The Palmer Buckner electors re-
celved only few scattering votes. Prob
ably 50 per cent of the Bryan vote comes
from the silver Republicans. The Popu-
list vote is insignificant. One of the fu-
sion electors is for Bryan and Watson
and the other two for Bryan and Sswall.
The vote for King, D., is about Al, 900;

The Same Name on Different
Tickets Causes Confusion.
WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 4-James
G. Shaw, one of the Mckinley candid ates
for elector, was on both the Republican
and Union Republican tickets. On the
Union Republican ticket in Newcastle
County 'Sr." was added 10 his name.
Many of the election officers gave Jam mes
G. Shaw the votes, keeping tally only on
the head of the Republican ticket. Others
kept a tally for both names and so made
returns. To what extent this has been
done cannot develop until the official
count on Thursday. Then much will de-
pend on the action of the board of can
vass. If the intent of the voters is to be
taken, Shaw will be given the entire vote,
but if an attempt is made to show that
two men were really voted for it may re-
suit in losing one vote for Mckinley.

But Mr.. Bryan Knows There Is Not
a Shadow of Hope.
LINCOLN. NEBR., Nov. 4.-The scene
at the Bryan residence to- night was much
the same as it was last evening. Mr..
Bryan, who left the house only once
during the day and then to attend the
funeral of a neighbor, did not remain up
stairs as he did last night, but came down
into the library to receive the returns
Some of the bulletins that came in were of
q reassuring character, and the Demo-
cratic candidate plainly showed by his
manner that he felt more encouraged. A
number of friends who had held aloof
yesterday and to-day dropped in and
chatted pleasantly with him. Mrs. Bryan
also helped entertain the visitors. Like
her husband she seemed in good spirits.
Many of the telephone messages from
friends and supporters concerning the re-
suit were answered by Mr.. Bryan per-
sonally. He talked very conservatively,
Indicating in his replies to these inquiries
that official counts in some States might
be necessary to determine the result.

Watson (D.) a clear majority for Coy
ernor. think it safe to say he is elected.
Bryan's majority, it now seems. will be
not less than &c, 600. l think Kitchen and
Doughton, Democrats, are elected to Con-
gress from the Fifth and Eighth districts

at IL 80 o'clock: 81 have no inform alton
as to the Fifth District. save as to Gull

CHICAGO. I'LL, Nov. 4.-Reports cir
culated shortly after o'clock tonight
that Bryan had been elected caused con-
siderable excitement in Chicago and at
many places large crowds gathered. At
the Auditorium three or four hundred
people assembled early and preparations
were made to parade the downtown
streets. A verbal permit was given the
silver men to march by Chief of Police
Badenoch. before he went home to dinner
and on this the parade was organized.
Just about the time t! start was to have
been made some one telephoned mes
sage to the Central police station, the
purport OF which cannot be learned from
the sergeant who received it, nor is the
sender'S name known. In about an hour
Chief of Police Badenoch came in hastily
and In short time Mayor Swift came to
the City Hall in RESPONSE TO telephone
message.
1t developed later that the Chief had
called out the entire police force of the
city and a few minutes after his arrival
at the City Hall he dispatched three
wagon-loads of detectives to the Audi
torium. Here the men were placed out
side the doors of the big hotel and its
annex to prevent any trouble that might
arise. Two or three hundred men were
held in readiness at the Central station
TO answer any calls that might be made,
but their services were not required. On
orders two officers tore down some posters
in front of the Office of the Dispatch. the
Tree silver afternoon paper, and remained
on duty there until a large crowd which
had been gathered there for some time
dispersed. The police refuse to say who
sent IN the request for extra officers.

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, ILL. Nov. 4-Returns from
the State are coming in slowly, but bear
out early estimates of majority exceed
ing 100000 for Mckinley, with the vote fer
Governor running we'll up. In Chica GO
Tanner polled 10000 less than the head of
the ticket, but he ran ahead in many
country districts and it is believed he will
not be far behind Mckinley when the re-.
turns are complete. The entire Cook
County (Chicago) Republican ticket was
elected.
The tidal wave assures a Republican
majority in both branches of the State
Legislature, and in consequence Repub-
lican successor to Senator Palmer. the

OF their State ticket. 1t was thought for
while this afternoon that Clough (R.) was
defeated for Governor, but returns re-
ceived up to 9 P NJ. show that he has
defeated Lind by plurality of from 5000
to 10000. All the rest of the ticket is
elected by 10000. The Republicans also
get all of the seven congressman. Towne,
the silver leader, who made the race in
the Sixth District, is apparently defeated
by less than 500. In the Seventh District
Lomar (Pop.) is defeated by Eddy (R.) by
over 25O0. The Legislature is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, that party having car
ried at least eighty-five of the ia districts.

Bryan SoreheadS Are Quick to
Show Their Teeth.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Nov. "A small
election riot occurred this afternoon in
front OF the Democratic headquarters on
Ninth street. A large crowd of Bryan

a crowd of several hundred Republicans,
headed by a university glee club, at
tempted to force way through the crowd
Fisticuffs were INDUCED in, the windows
of the headquarters building smashed,
but there were no fatal or serious injuries.
The riot was soon quelled for sheer lack of
space in which to fight.
There is much excitement in this city
on account of its being Bryan's home, and
he has many warm friends here who are
wiling to resent any slight cast on him.
