Sixty-siN precincts in Kansas give Nc

Cy Leland says Mckinley and the Re
publican state ticket will carry Kansas by
not less than 5000. The First, Second and
Fourth congressional districts will give the
Republicans from 5000 to l0.0co, and this,
he says, can never be overcome by 'the OPP
position in the other districts.
Chairman Breidenthal claims that Ridge
ly (Pop) has defeated kirkpatrick CRep)
for congress in the Third district by 1900:
that Mccormick Pop) has defeated Ellis
in the Sixth district by 1850, that Simpson
U'opD has defeated Long (Rep.) in the Sew
enth district by 3260.
He comedies Curtis election in the Fourth
and says the contest between Peters Pop)
and Harris CRepD in the Second district IS
in doubt. He claims Leedy's election by
5000 and Bryan's by 1S.0oo. and says Popu-
lists will have the legislature by at least
% on joint ballot.
The Populists are not receiving Thea ctual
count by precincts like the RepublsaDs.
Besides voting for presidential electors
and congress me.., Kansas to-day also voted
for governor. attorney general. state aud
itor. treasurer. superintendent Of publie
instruction, chief justice and appellate
judges. members of the legislature and
county officers.
The Popocrats today imagined they had
discovered 4 plo; Of the Republicans TO
steal tht. election in the Second ward of To-
rAka. They found a man with official
ballot in his possession and al once start
ell the rumoT for political effect that the
endless chain scheme was being worked
by the Republicans. Many threats of ar
rests were made. Upon investigation, how
ever. II was learned that the man who had
possession OF the ballot was a free silver
Democrat. He claims 1t was given him by
the Republicans, but the judges and clerks
at his election precinct claim he got the
ballot to vote and then sneaked out with
out casting il. He was gone before they
knew II, ani consequently could not make
him vote or surrender IL.
