INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 4.-Late re-
turns indicate heavy democratic gains in
southern strongholds, This will reduce the
estimates of big republican plurality early
in the day, but from present indications will
not affect the general result, which Is that
Mckinley has carried the state, The ropub-
Leans will probably elect nine congress
men.
The republicans have probably all the CON
CressionGl candidates, though there is doubt
about Sul2er in the Fourth district, Trace
VOL in the Third and Lands in the Ninth.
There is little doubt that Johnson Is re-
elected in the Sixth. The republicans will
have a majority in the Legislature, which
the republican managers place at forty-two
on Joint ballot Marion county will prob
ably give a republican majority Of 1000,
which is a biz increase over the last vote.
1t is impossible to state just how
many congressman the republicans have
elected, or just how the Legislature will
stand but there is little or no doubt that
the republicans will elect big majority
of both.
Fifty out of nnety-two counties in In
diana show McKinley's plurality, $1,000. II
the other counties vote as they did in 1892
they will give Bryan pluralities OF 5,25}.
But there is every reason to expect Consil-
cradle gains in these counties for the repub-
licans over the vote Of 1892. The state is
reasonably certain. therefore, for Mckinley
by at least 10000 plurality
At o'clock this evening Chairman Mar
tin Of the democratic committee claimed
that it would require the official count to
determine the result. At that hour he had
received returns from all but eight
Of the nirCty-two counties show
ing plurality for Mckinley
of S3l7. These dii not include
Marion county, which would increase Nc
Kinleys plurality to about 1900. Chairman
Martin, however. charges that in some coun-
ties OF the state the democratic and populist
votes were not aggregated. which, II true
would decrease McKinley's apparent plu-
iality and for this reason he will await
the official count, refusing in the meantime
to Ccncedc the state. the eighty-one coun-
ties heard from at o'clock. showed a
democratic loss over 1892 of 15ii2. In some
of the counties still to be heard from the
democrats expect considerable losses
Chairman GOwdy claims the state for
Mckinley by at least %, eco. 1t is safe to
say that McKinley's plurality in Indiana
will not be less than 1900, nor more than
2bOOO The republican state ticket is also
elected by sure majority.
Chairman Martin of the democratic state
committee has just received a telegram
from the democratic chairman of Marshall
county stating that in the estimate sent
from that county, the democratic and popu-
list vote was not aggregated, which would
mako a difference in favor of the demo-
Gratis OF over 300 votes. kilograms from
other parts of the state, Mr.. Martin says
disclose a similar condition. As the popu-
list vote in the state amounts to 30 900
practically all Of which the democrats claim
a further aggregation Of the vote would or
set a plurality for Mckinley OF many thou
sands. 1t will be some time befor cit can be
determined whether the vote has been ag-
gregated and pending such knowledge the
state will be in doubt.
