M'KINLEY SURE.


TAYLOR, Democrat. for governor, will not
have large majority, perhaps not ex-
ceeding 1900, and il may run down lower.
The legislature is Democratic. and has one
negro member. Democrats have seven con-
gressmen sure, and may have elected Moon.
Republicans claim the official count will
be required to decide between Taylor and
Tillman, candidates for governor.
Ohio.
Columbus. O.. Nov. 4.-Chairman McCon-
VILE of the Democratic state committee,
claims McKinley's plurality will not reach
5O.cG0 and makes no changes in his claims
made to-day. He claims the election of
five Democratic congressman and probably
six. Chairman Kurtz, of the Republican
state committee, says the Republicans
elected sixteen and the Democrats four
congressman, with the result in the
Twelfth district still in doubt. Chair
man Kurtz to-day got complete re-
turns from eighty-siX of the eighty-eight
counties, and compared them with last
years vote, when the Republican plurality
was 5000. after which he made the follow
ing statement: "Eighty-six counties show
Republican gains of 12,450, and Democratic
gains of $3.50 on the pluralities of 1895; net
Democratic gain over 1895 of Ss,ls2, leaving
a Republican plurality this year of 5i,440
with Two counties (Morrow and Stark un-
reported. These two counties may reduce
the plurality about 1,500. leaving McKin-
ley's net plurality 52.9+0.'
Texas.
Austin, Tex, Nov. 4.-From returns re-
ceiyed here during the day by state officials
at the capitol and various political head
quarters there is every indication that the
state has gone Democratic by majority
that is conservatively estimated at 10000
A telegram was received this afternoon
from State Chairman Flake announcing
that from reports furnished him direct
from county charmen, he believes the ma
jority for Culberson will be 1900, and for
the Bryan and Sewall ticket something
like 10000
Dallas Tex, Nov. 4-Chairman Green, of
the Republican committee, said at mid
night tonight: I'VE will carry Texas by
10000 sure. We are making big gains ev-
erywhere. Our returns are reliable"
Mfnnesota.
st. Paul. Mimi. Nov. 4.-To-night prac-
ticalIy complete returns from fifty-one of
the eighty-one counties in Minnesota give
Clough, Rep, for governor 2,046 less than
Lind, fusion candidate. Clough, however,
has shown more than his entire party
strength. Present indications are very
close. For president there still seems no
question that Mckinley has from 5000 to
10000 majority Sixty-two counties, with
jority of A.S41 for Mckinley, but this is
likely to be reduced somewhat, as the
later returns are received from the coun-
try precincts. The seven congressional dis
tricts will be represented by Republicans.
Des Moines, Ia. Nov. 4-Iowa will give
Mckinley and Hobart a plurality of al
least $500. and very probably that con-
seryative figure will be raised to 10 100
Complete returns are in from seventy-four
out of the ninety-nine counties. They show
a net gain of 3J6 to the county. If this
gain is continued, and it is more than like
ly, it will increase Mckinley's plurality to
g. 5s9 The state ticket is elected by over
wheming majorities. The total delegation
of the congressman. numbering eleven, are
all Republicans. OF the seventy-four coun.
ties heard from, the silver forces carried
but fourteen.
