RESULT IN THE STATES


Columbus, O., Nov. Traditional re-
turns today do not materially change the
result announced last night of over CO.
900 Republican plurality on the state
ticket and fifteen Republican to six Dem
ocratic congressman. The Republicans
are celebrating the election of as many
congressman IN what is known as the
'of year as they elected at the last
presidential election, while they more than
doubled the plurality Of $4,000 for Bush
nell for governor last year. In the odd
years a governor and full state ticket with
members of the Legislature are elected
every two years, while in the alternate,
or even years, only a few minor state Off
GERS with congressman are elected. as was
the case yesterday, but the alternate or
even years come once IN four years with
the presidential campaign so that the ''off
year" comes only once in four years and
always two years after the presidential
election.
Illinois.
Chicago, H., Nov. 9.-Returns from
every county in the state indicate the
election of Whittemore Rep.) for state
treasurer, by a plurality of nearly 10000.
Few OF the returns are complete. The
majority for other Republican candidates
will probably exceed that of Whittemore,
as he was cut heavily in Cook county,
including Chicago.
Enough legislative returns have been re-
ceived to show that the lower House will
be Democratic by about six votes, and the
Senate Republican by about eleven votes.
In Cook county aside from congressman,
the entire Republican ticket, with posi-
bly, Il or two exceptions was elected by
pluralities ranging from 5000 to 5000.
The county vas carried for Mckinley by
nearly 10000.
In Winnebago county, Frank S. Regain
CPro.) was elected to the Legislature, the
fret tJron in tho hictor-T Of tho cro+a +la+
a Prohibition legislative candidate has
won.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 9.-Returns to-
day indicate the certain election of Over
street, Rep. Indianapolis district, to
Congress.
The Democrats concede the Repub-
leans a majority in the state of about
10000. The Republicans claim more
than this.
fight has been waged, looks Republican
with the possible exception Of auditor.
With one-1fth Of the precincts of the
state heard from, the indications are that
the Republican plurality will be near TO-
900. It may vary 2OO0 either way from
that estimate. The Democratic state
committee comedies that the Republicans
have won III the state. Large Demo
cratic gains are shown by some counties.
while other counties show large Repub-
lican gains.
Topeka, Kas., Nov. 9.-The election in
Kansas is in doubt this morning, with
both sides claiming the state by a small
majority. 1t will probably require the
complete returns TO decide the result.
Secretary Frank L. Brown of the Repub-
lican state committee makes the following
statement:
"Mr. Stanley is undoubtedly elected gov
ernor, as is the entire state ticket. The
precincts heard from are largely in the
cities and towns. Of the country pre-
cincts reported the gains remain remarka-
bic. If the country precincts continue to
show increases the ticket will be elected
by about the majority predicted by the
committee last Saturday."
Wyoming.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 9.-Wyoming
has gone Republican on state and con-
gressional tickets in majorities ranging
from 1000 to 1900 votes. The Legisla-

viii elect a Republican senator to sue
coed C. D. Clark. Returns from thirty
one precincts out of 2S7 districts in the
state are now In. These gave 260 ma
jority for Mondell for Congress in 1896
and now give him 529 majority, a net
gain of 269 votes. In these precincts
Richards (Rep.) for governor has 394 ma
jority, a net gain of 1874 votes.
Della ware.
Wilmington. Del, Nov. 9.-Detailed re-
turns from Kent and Sussex counties
were not received until this morning. They
are sufficient to show that the next Leg
i~slature Of this state is almost surely Re
! publican in each branch, and certainly
Republican on joint ballot.
According to complete returns from the
state, with the exception of a few dis
tricts, the next Legislature will stand:
Republicans, 20; Democrats, %.
The Republicans will thus elect a sue
cessor to United States Senator Gray
(Dem.)
Minnesota.
Minneapolis, MINI, Nov. 9.-Unoficial
and incomplete but apparently reliable
returns indicate John Lind Fusion) has
been elected governor Of Minnesota by q
plurality of 10000.
Five out of seven congressman are sure

tricts close and claimed by both sides.
