Further Returns,

Dick has revised his figures 80 as to
claim from fity-five to sixty thousand
plurality for Judge Nash for Governor
and the rest of the Republican State
ticket and an unusually large majority
in both branches of the Legislature.
The total vote was, perhaps, exceed
ed only at the last presidential election.
1t will reach 900 900 as compared with
794 900 last year and 1854 900 in 1897
with which year the vote was compar-
ed. The plurality of Judge Nash ex-
ceeds that of Mckinley in 1896-and is
almost double that of Governor Bush
nell in 1897.
The Senate stands 10 Republicans,
Democrats and doubtful, including
three from Hamilton county. The
House stands SO Republicans, 81 Dem
ocrats and II doubtful including ten
members from Hamilton county.

returns continue to be more favorable
to the Republicans. Gov. Shaw's
(rep.) plurality, which had been fig
ured at SO 900, is now declared TO be
81 900 by the Republican committee,
the Democrats concediug $4,000. In
comparison with the vote two years
ago, this shows Republican gain, al
though the vote is much lighter than
then.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 9.-Very little
! interest was taken in the election which
was for minor offices only. The ex-
element incident to the big reception
of the TIVE ntieth Kansan regiment
took the minds OF the people off the
campaign. The Republicans elected
ok of the ten judges.

or 5000 for w. 5. Taylor for Gov
ernor. The belated returns are mostly
from mountain :. counties which are

, by Chairman Long of the Republican
campaign committee is significant
