Returns are coming in very slowly
Twenty precincts only have been heard
from, including four in the city Of Chey-
enne. They show heavy Republican gains
over 1896 for Mondell for congress. and the
state ticet is running with MondeH. ex-
coping that Richards CRep), candidate for
governor. is running slightly behind his
ticket IN this Oaramie) county. where
there is a slight falling Of. Indications
are that Monde,l Is elected by a large plu-
rality and that the entire state ticket Is
elected by smaller plurallties.

MARYLAND MOSTLY REPUBLICAN
Baltimore. Nd, Nov. s-Full and semi
official returns from the city OF Baltimore
and partial returns from the balance OF
the state make IL reasonably certain that
Maryland has returned four Republicans
and two Democratic congressman. after
an extraordinarily close but entirely lisr-
less election. This is Democratic gain
of two. The successful candidates are:
John Walter Smith, Dem.). First dis
trict; William Baker. CKep). Second;
Frank c. Wachter. (Rep.) Third; James
w. Denny. Oem). Fourth; Sidney E
Mudd. Fifth. and George z. Pearre, CRep)
Sixth district by about 5000.
The Democrats succeeded in obtaining
a majority of the popular vote in Balti-
more City for the first time in six years.
and there is but little doubt they would
have sent five congressman to the next
national legislature If an active and ag-
gressive campaign had been made. The
entire delegation with tho exception OF
AIessrs. Nudd and.Baker are new timber
and are looked upon as favoring gold
standard currency.
ILLINOIS AN EVEN BREAK
Chicago. Nov. 8.-Five and probably six
congressman have been gained in Illinois
by the Democrats and the next congress-
ional delegation from this state is likely to
eleven Republicans. 1t IS possible for the
Republicans TO have twelve of the twenty
one congressman as all the returns are
not in yet, but the indications are for an
even split on the delegation. The entire
Republican state ticket is elected by 10000
plurality. In Cook county the vote has
been close. the Republicans carrying the
county and the Democrats the city Of
Chicago. The Democratic plurality in the
city is about 900 and the Republican plu-
rality about the same in the county.
MASSACHUSETTS, FOR WOLCOTT.
Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans have
again carried Massachusetts, and elected
Roger Wolcott for the fourth time. as
We'll as the entire state ticket by a safe
majority. Governor Wolcott's plurality
over A. L. Bruce, his Democratic oppon-
ent, viii be about 10000. or Il, 600 less than
his lead last year. The vote this year
was much heavier than in 1897, and Mr.
Bruce made substantial gains over
George Fred Williams, the Democrat
candidate last eyar.
As in the past two years, wolcott sue
ceeded in carrying Boston. which is usu-
ally a Democratic city.
was confined to the Fifth. Seventh. Ninth |
and Tenth congressional districts. and !
both parties fought hard on national is !
sues. but the Republicans lost two If not /
three OF their districts. Even with the |
assistance of strong independent Demo- |
cratic candidate the Ninth district re-
manned Democratic and returned John r. !
Fitzgerland for the third time, while the |
Tenth district went Democratic and the !
Fifth district was in doubt for some time. !
The Eighth district, which was consider |

ranks and elects Ernest ". Roberts The |

NEBRASKA FLOPS BACK
Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. s-Scattering pre-
cinct returns up TO midnight indicate a
political surprise in Nebraska, taasmuch
as they forecast the almost certain cleo
ton OF Hayward for governor by plur-
atty Of not less than 3 Oo0.
This viii be a reversal OF the vote OF
lS96 by nearly 1900.
The count thus far IS wholly on COVER
nor. so far IS the state ticket : concern
ed. and IL is the belief that Hayward IS
running slightly ahead of his ticket Il
would make the results on remaining
state tofiices very close The most sur
prising feature OF It all IS the strength
displayed by the Republican legislative
candidates, the few returns showing
them 10 De even ahead % Hayward. As
these are but from one OF two counties
