Topeka, Kan, Nov 9-The populist
and democratic state committees in.
creased their estimates OF Leedy's plu.
rality from 1900 To $4,000 votes. The
republicans have reduced their estl-
mate OF Stanley's plurality from 10000
to 1000. This in brief Is fair state
ment OF the situation. Returns are SO
remote as to give little satisfaction.
The republican managers are disap'
pointed over the vote in the towns.
where the fusionists have made gains,
but are pleasantly surprised at the re.
turns from the country precincts. which
