NEBRASKA,

OMAHA, Nov. l.--While Bryan has prob
ably carried Nebraska by small plural
ity, Republicans are not conceding that
fact, since less than 300 of !, ,554 precincts
in this state have been heard from A
definite result cannot he known for some
timo Bryan is steadily gaining in most
of the remote rural districts yet to hear
from. 1t Is conceded that Bryan's great
strength is there and 1t will probably
overcome the 1000 plurality Mckinley
has in Omaha. The feature of the contest
is the enormous vote polled, probably 10
per cent heavier than at any previous
lmo, This Is attributed to that element
which has heretofore refused to partici-
pate in elections, hut which the financial
issue in this campaign brought to the
front. AS result of the generous man
ner in which the state ticket was scratched
Iitto can be definitely determined as to
tho result hoiuolm, Democrat Populist

MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS Nov. 4.-Missouri returns
are very incomplete but it is known with
out doubt that St. Louis has given Nc
kinley from L., GOO to $4,000 plurality,
the former being conceded by the Demo
Gratis and the latter claimed by the Repub-
LEANS There seems to be no doubt that
two of the three congressman in St Louis
will be Bartholdt, In the
Tenth district and Pearce,4D the Twelfth
district Congressman Joy, Republican,
appears to have been defeated by Hunt,
Democrat, according to latest returns.
The lateness of returns from the city and
state is due to complications in the cleo
tion law recently enacted and put into
force for the first time at this election.
Added to this, the counting of the vote on
four constitutional amendments caused
further loss of time, each having to bo
taken up separately The indications ar
that all these amendments were defeated
Less than one half of the election precincts
in Missouri have been heard from. They
show Il lead for Bryan, which Chairman
Cook claims will give him the state by
10000 plurality. He also claims the cleo
tion of II Democratic congressman out
side of st. Louis and the full state ticket,
with Stevens for governor In the state
the only definite returns as to congress
men are the Third and Fourth districts,
the Democratic candidate being elected in
each, Dockery was reelected in the Third
and Cochran elected in the Fourth. On
the other hand the Republicans claim
that the state is in doubt. The returns
thus far received show a large increase in
the vote for both parties as compared with
tho vote of 1892, and the Republicans as
sert that the advantage is largely with
them. Lewis, the Republican candidate
for governor, ran ahead of the national
ticket in most of the country districts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Comptroler Eckels,

quarters, said II think the result is Just
what might have been expected. When
ever the question has been put to the vot-
ers, Will the American people pay their
debts,' it has always been decided that
they would We pay our debts The ma
tion pays its debts. The Importance of
the result in the business world is that it
means the rehabliment of American credit
abroad That means that investors are
willing to put their idle capital in our en-
terprises This election means the com
plete reorganization of the Democratic
party. For long period of time the de-
mocracy has been the haven refuge for
every element of discomfort in the ooun-
try. 1t had to be reorganized, and now
is as good us any. other time. The DEM

VERMONT,

MONTPELIER, Nov. 1.-The emphatic
way in which the Green Mountain State
voters expressed themselves in the Sep
tember election precluded the possibility
of excitement in the national election. 1t
was because Of the knowledge of how the
state would go and confidence of the Re-
publican party leaders in the size of their
plurality that no effort was made to get in
yesterdays vote
The returns are yet greatly incomplete,
and may be until tomorrow The only
apparent effort made to canvass the vote
is in the cities, and on the strength of
these majorities the claim is made that
Nermont's contribution in figures to the
Republican victory is slightly under the
September plurality, or about 10000.

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT Nov. 4.-Returns, incomplete
as yet, from tho SO counties of Michigan
indicate Mckinley's plurality ia Michigan
to be 40, 1000 The same returns give Pin
gree for governor an estimated plurality
of 5S, coo. That Pingree should have run
decidedly ahead of his ticket generally
throughout the state is regarded as some
thing of a surprise in view of the combined
interests allied against him. In Detroit
Pingree got more votes than he had ever
received in his candidacy for mayor. In
1928 precincts of this county Pingree re-
ceived 81, g23 to ~, 154 foy Sligh; Mol<in-
ley, 33, ,G5S; Bryan, 24,317.
The Republican state ticket ran consid-
erably behind Pingree's vote and several
thousand behind the Mckinley vote. The
Republican members of congress are elect
ed in each of the II districts of the state
except tine Third and Eighth and in the
Eighth the issue is still doubtful between
Congressman Linton and Ferdinand
Brucker. Wayne county elected the en-
tire Republican delegation to the legisla-
ture-l0 representatives and / senators
although ex Mayor William g. Thompson
for senator narrowly escaped defeat
The legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican, but by what majority is not
yet determined
Chairman Babcock received a dispatch
from Detroit today saying that Corliss in
the First, Spaulding in Second, Hamilton
in Fourth, Smith in Fifth Snover in Sew
enth, Bishop in Ninth, Crump in Tenth,
Mesick in Eleventh and Sheldon in

congress, and that Todd, fusion, has do,

Will be close on all results. The legisa-

excitement In Nebraska it is cotsidered
that no disturbances of Importance oc-
iurred election day.
Two hundred and thirty precincts in
Nebraska outside of Omaha give McKin-
ey 22, $50; Bryan, 81, Two years

Populists, Is, 420.
LINCOLN, Nov. 4.-Chairman Post of
the Republican state committe comedies
Nebraska to the fusion ticket on presiden-
tlal electors and governor, but he says
neither Bryan nor Holcomb, the latter
being the fusion candidate for governor
will have anything like the plurality
claimed by Chairman nahilman and Ed
miston, the Democratic and Populist chair
men. He says the legislative and congress
sional candidates are still in doubt. 1t
appears quito certain, however, that the
Populists will get four of the six congress
men, and they may have hve if not tho
entire six. Returns from the state are
still quite meager though almost all those
received show material Republican losses.
The Republicans have complete returns
from only 235 election precincts out of
total Of 1,600. These give Republican
plurality of 2, 450, but they indicate losses,
and they do not show the large losses in
Douglas and Lancaster counties, in which
the cities of Omaha and Lincoln are stu
ated. Judge Post does not concede the
entire state ticket but tho opposition
claims 1t all and also the legislature and
all the congressman. 1t looks as if the fu-
sionists would secure almost everything,
and it is certain that Mr.. Bryan's own
state will give him handsome plurality.

WEST VIRGINIA

WHEELING, Nov. 4.--Eleven n. m. re-
turns from the state, which are slow, show
Republican gains over 1899, and there Is a
probability that the state has gone for Mo
Kinley. Wetzel county, which gave Cleve-
land 627 majority, will probably not ex-
ceed 500 for Bryan. Gilmer county gives
$50 Democratic majority; Mineral county
has given 300 Republican majority;
Brooke county, 1S9 for Mckinley.

Is absolutely nothing received at Demo-
cratic headquarters by which majority
can be based for either party A few tel
egrams received by Secretary Olney an
nounce gains, but not enough counties

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The election of Major
Mckinley to the presidency of the United
states had marked effect upon Ameri-
Gun securities hero today. business on
tho Stock Exchange opened with rush to
buy. Milwaukees and Louisvilles led the
advance, quickly followed by the entire
list at advances of $2 to So, which sent the
brokers' flying hatless in every direction to
join in the wild hubbub inside, while in
the streets customers were coming up by
the dozens.
According to the general impression,
the election will result in a rapid dminu-
tion of the gold withdrawals for the Unit
ed States, and there is no doubt that Ma.
jor Mckinley's victory favorably affected
the Stock Exchange throughout Consols
opened three eighths higher than yestcr-
day.
A leading English stockbroker, in an In
terview with II representative of the press
said: "Mckinley's election has doomed
the whole market. Large buying orders
from New York were sent after the result
of the election was known in the United
States and started the market. This was
followed by English buying of American
and English stocks
All the newspapers comment uron the
election.
The Star remarks: "We in England
have great reason to rejoice at the over
whelming defeat of the attack upon the
gold standard Great evils may be in
store, but no high tariff can inllict a
tithe of tho ruin which Bryan's victory
would have entailcd. There will be an inn
mediate improvement of business, for the
election of Mckinley, or rather the defeat
of Bryan, will restore confidence in the
financial honesty and stability of the
United States. The sound common sense
of the American people has saved the re-
public from worse than civil or foreign
war"
The Sun says: "The great republic has
risen magniflcontly to great occasion. 1t
is the uprising of almost n united nation,
and the silver craze has been effectually
sootched, If it is not killed. Let Mol<in-
Icy throw his protection overheard and cut
away from the heartless plutocrats who
have for years past made the Republican
party manufacturers annex, and he will
be acclaimed by one and the republic by

is 20 per cent thus far, while Mckinley s
gain is only per cent. If this continues,

a small majority. Chairman Breidenthal
of the Democratic state committee claims
the state by $4,000. Chairman Simpson
of the Republican state committee, how
ever, refuses to surrender and declares
that complete returns may show victory
for the Republicans. The Democrats claim
the election of congressman in the Third,

have carried the county, electing all their
