The National Vote.

1t was landslide. Mr.. Mckinley has
wept the country from the Atlantic to the
Missouri. possibly to the Rocky mountains
themselves. and broken the solid South for
he first time in 20 years in a presidential
election
While the late hour of closing the polls at
many important centres and the slow count
ne OF complicated ballots renders the re-
urns at hand somewhat meagre, enough is
inOwn to warrant the statement that the
expected Mckinley whirlwlnd has swept the
'uuntry, and that both the popular and elec-
oral vote Of the republican sound money
candidate will be beyond all precedent.
Beginning with Chicago, the storm centre

plurality for Mckinley is roughly set at
II 900, thus insuring the "a electoral votes

The election Of Mckinley and Hobart.
Candidate Bryan appears to have lost his
own precinct. city, county and state, while
major Mckinley carries his voting precinct
hv 81. IL went 762 democratic in 1892.
Kentucky, redeemed by strenuous efforts,
leads in the extent of its Mckinley plurality
the little column of border states wrested
from the Bryan party. Maryland, with
very large republican majority in Baltimore
to build upon, gives Mckinley its eight
votes, and the six of West Virginia are now
counted upon, together with the II of Ten
ueSsee
In the Empire state the republican esti-
mate OF upward of 200, O90 plurality has been
realized. New York city alone contributed
some q, 900 to this enormous margin
The great state of Pennsylvania gives her
32 votes. by plurality Of 100000, to which
Philadelphia contributes l25,0OO.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., Nov 3-Tne vote Of
several towns in the state have been an
nounced aud give 225 to Mckinley. and "A
for Bryan. This indicates Il plurality of
$4,000 for the republican ticket in Rhode
Island.
Returns from MddIetown. Portsmouth
and jamestown show but 80 democratic
votes. including those for Palmer, against
l22 four years ago, Mckinley has 254 votes
in these towns Six districts in the state
give Mckinley $50; Bryan. 220. Bull and
Capron. republican candidates for Congress,
are surely elected and by the largest pu-
rality ever rolled up in either district.
The state. from present indications, will
give Mckinley 10000 plurality. Fourteen
towns give him 3.054; Bryan. 7S5. Seven
teen precincts in the state give Mckinley
1877; Bryan. .125. Democrats here now
concede everything to Mckinley excepting
the state of despair.
Twenty-three cities aud towns give No

Organism was something .frightful. The
big voting cities and towns are yet to be
heard from. and Mckinley looks good for

The Unprecedented plurality of2S4, 900 has
been rolled up for Mckinley. Tammanys
usual enormous majority in this city has
been overcome, and this stronghold of the
democracy has given plurality of q 900
for Mckinley. In Brooklyn, McKinley's
plurality is $4,000. In the state. outside of
the two cities, he has plurality of $4,000.
Frank s. Black, the republican candidate
for governor is elected by about 100000
over Porter. Timothy L. Woodruff. repub-
lcan, for lieutenant governor. and Irving G..
Vann. for Judge of the court of appeals, are
elected by large pluralties. The republicans
have elected 2S republican congressman to
the democrats six. They will have about

assured.

in the Legislature and for congressman seem
likely to be verified
From the manufacturing cities and towns
in the Merrimack Valley the flood of McKin-
ley votes almost equaied the freshets of the
past two years and from Franklin. the re.
cent chartered city at the head of the
Merrimack the indication of republicanism
was sent on its triumphant move to the sea.
That one-time democratic stronghold threw
all its tradition to the wind and set a phe
nomenal mark for future elections.
On the state ticket the republican victory
was unprecedented. and Hon. George A.
Ramsdell goes into the governors chair with
the largest majority ever cast for a republi-
can governor. With him will sit a solid re-
publican council and the Legislature will
be republican on a joint ballot nearly four
to one, insuring a republican United
States senator. 1t looks now as if every
county officer chosen in the state is a repub-
lican. Those democratic strongholds. Coos
and Carroll counties. each Wed with each
other in the size of the republican majority,
and ii looks now as if they would show at
least 900 majority for the party of sound
money and protection.

Ilton county shows republican gain of

Returns in the state indicate that Mckin-

showing remarkable strength in the agricu-

Indications are Mckinley will carry Col
umbus by 5000, Cincinnati 1900 and Meiges
county by $500 majority. The chairman of

are meagre but show a ratio of gain that if
maintained will give Mckinley $4,000 plu-
rality in Ohio.

MCKINLEY Gains in the Cities

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 3-There are evil
dences of big frauds and trickery in the
state. This will probably pull through a
larger majority for Bryan than was at first
thought. The republicans have made the
biggest gain in this state for Is years. Re-
turns, slowly coming in, show close con-
test. R. i. Thorp, republican, wins in the
4th district easily.
Twenty-one out of the 25 precincts in
Richmond give Bryan 5,657, Mckinley 4,O24.
The remaining precincts will not materially

The count in Detroit will be slow, owing
to the number of split ballots cast. Returns
in the city up to O'clock indicated that Me-
Kinley had carried it by 1000 and Pingree
by 5000. Complete returns from Hudson
gave Mckinley plurality of 129, net gain
of so.
Sixteen precincts outside of Detroit gave
Mckinley 1867 Bryan, 2,645; Palmer 43.
The republicans estimate their majority in
the state of Michigan at $4,000. II. N. Duff
field has telegraphed senator Fessenden that
the figure is 10000. The upper peninsula
will give l6, 900 of this. Charles b. sheldon,
