THE belated official election returns
from California and Utah, made pub
lie on the last day of 1896, complete the
official record. From the reliable fig
ures it is seen that McKinley's plur-
ality has dwindled by not far from
half the estimates made Immediately
after the election. The total vote for
each Presidential candidate as OBJ
tanned from the Secretaries of State
of the various commonwealths is as
follows: Mckinley, 7,107 1922; Bryan
(Democratic), 6,2s9, 1865; Bryan (Peo-
ple's), 245, ,eo7; Palmer, 1ss,s1s; Lev
ering, 13O, 1853; Bentley, 1856; Mat
chett, s3,545. Mckinley thus has a
plurality of 572,34s votes over the
total cast for Bryan by the Democratic
and Peoples parties, while the vic
tors majority is 260,277.
The total vote cast November 8 was
1885, 1857, as against IL, ,o5s, 1877 in 1892.
OF these total votes the leading par
ties polled the following percentages:
Republican, 1892, 42.s1 per cent; 1896,
5O.93 per cent. Democratic, 1892,
46.0s per cent; 1895, 1907 per cent.

Forty Miles Distant.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. g.
When the roll call of the House was
completed this morning there were
shown to be FIVE absentees. The aged
but still vigorous Captain W. T. Sni-
dow, of Hickory, who has served sew
eral terms In the House, was among
the number. Inquiries for him were
numerous, but there was no one to
furnish the desired information. He
had not been seen in the city, and
some of his old associates expressed
uneasiness about his welfare and
whereabouts.
At 8 O'Clock the Captain strode into
the crowded lobby OF the Madison.
Across his back, bent under the weight
of the 60-odd years piled upon it,
swung his gripsack. His shoes were
covered with dust and his trousers
showed the need of the brush. Cap
tain Snidow had walked from his
home at Weaubleau, Hickory county,
to Jefferson City, a distance of 140
miles. His pedestrian feat was per-
formed as the result of wager with
his fusion opponent that he would be
reelected. He left his home a week
ago.
The Republican caucus was held at
O'Clock and Captain Snidow attend
ed it. When the House meets to-
morrow morning he will be found oc-
eupying his old seat in the extreme
northeast corner of the chamber and
win resume his custom of voting "No''
on every proposition as soon as the
oath is administered to him.
