Reports from all over the United
States indicate that heavier vote was
noled than at any National election
ever held.
The weather. outside of the Gulf
States was generally fair, and in most
places sunshiny and highly favorable
TO n large vote. In several Southern
States cloudy and threatening weather
was reported.
The intense interest in the result is
shown by the efforts that are being
made in all the close States to bring
out the fullest possible vote. Sick men,
rples and millionaires alike were
among the earliest arrivals at the
| polls in New York City.
A notable feature of the election
seems to be the large labor vote. The
laboring men in the close States were
at the polls early.
We give our readers below the dis
patches from all sections of the coun-
ty, and have endeavored to give the
good reports along with the bad, and
shall let the reader judge as to the re-
suits for himself.
From the dispatches it seems quite
evident, however, that Maj. Mckinley
has swept the country, having carried
near all the States classed as doubt
ful. Chairman Jones, however, be-
lleyes that the later returns, or the
horse mails, will decidedly change the
result. The following dispatches tell
The story up to the time this is written:

There is no foundation for the
claims of the Republicans. There is

him. While misleading reports are be-
ing sent in all directions, private a1-
