any doubt as to the result in Nebraska.

on national issues and the result is a
protest against the policy of the admin

At a. m. Chairman Tefft of the Re-
publican committee admitted that the
figures at hand showed the election Of
the fusion ticket.
LINCOLN, Nov. SIT is evident to
both parties in yesterdays fight that
Nebraska has repledged her allegiance
to the fusion standard. While Repub-
icans are not yet willing to admit de-
feat, early figures point that way. There
has been steady falling off of the vote
Of both parties, but while the fusionists
have suffered but little, the Republican
loss has not been less than three to
precinct. If the present ratio is main
tanned, Ex-Governor Holcomb and the
fusion state ticket will be elected by not
less than 10000. Fusionists claim much
more.

show the same fusion gain as earlier re-
ports, and there is no longer the least
doubt of the fusion tickets election.

ment, but many of his associates adj
mitted defeat, though not conceding it
by as large majority as claimed by the
fusionists.
