will approximate 425. 000. an increase of 10000
over last years vote aud 5000 more than the |
highest estimate before the election.

ing. and shows that Bryan and Mckinley are
so close that the race will not be de-
cided until the last ballots have been examined.

Bryan will get one electOr. Many voters in |
stamping their ballots did not put the stamp |

of the first eector. Under the law such bal |
lots can only be counted for the first elector.
