What the Various Figures Show fr
 the Keystone State.


 Philadelphia. Nov. s.-In this city Tuesday, the total vote cast was 152.. 343. The registration was 2ls,354. Ths contest on the state ticket was over the office of state treasurer, and Col James F. Barnett (rep.) has a plural. ity over his democratic opponent, Wm T. Greasy, the vote resulting: Barnett HOOPS; Greasy, 4o,535; Caldwell (pro T 1850; Watkins (peo.), POO. J. Hay Brown, republican candidate for the supreme court, had 90,s74 plurality over Mestrezat (dem.), but both were elected, as there are two vacancies iu that body. For the state superior court. Mitchell trep.) had s7.4s5 plu. rality over Reilly (dem.). These fig ures would indicate that as a result O; the attack on Barnett's military rec. ord. he was cut about 10000 votes ir this city. The proposition to author ize loan of s12, ,000. .0oo for the i'm. provement of the city.'s rater supply was overwhelmingly q. the vote in favor of it being 114s.S ,.lnd against it only 24.121. In two towns in the state, however, Lancaster and Harris. burg. propositions to increase the deb, for water improvement purposes were defeated.
 The latest figures indicate that Bar. nett had from 10000 to 10000 plu. rality in the state. The extent of the cutting can not yet be ascertained ac curately, but if is believed that he suf fered the loss of at least 10000 vote. in this way.
 There was scarcely any sign of g fight in the state Tt large, and the vote generally was light. Chester county was an exception to this rule, however Here the anti-Quay republicans bolted the regular ticket and fused with the democrats. and fierce contest result ed. The regular republicans were cut however. by pluralities for their coun ty candidates, averaging about 5000 only little under the normal repub lican plurality.

NEBRASKA.
Additional Returns Emphasize the
 Fusion Victory.


 Lincoln. Neb., Nov. s.-Additional re. turns received only serve to emphasize the fusion victory in Nebraska at Tues, days election. The fusion majority will not be less than 12,000. and may reach 1s.000. The republicans make no effort to explain the causes, though . number of leaders in this city differ from W. J. Bryan in his statement that it is a rebuke to the national ad ministration. They maintain that thu gains are only over last year. when the fusionists fell far short of their nor. nal strength. They point out the fact that former Gov. Hoicomb, when he ran for governor the last time. car ried the state by 21,0oo. Not enougt figures have yet been received to bas, even moderately safe estimate on the congressional election in the Sixth dis trict, to fill vacancy, but with tht balance Of the state going as it did, il is altogether improbable that the re publicans have overcome a fusion ma jority of over 5000 in that district.

 Probably Reach 8o.OOO.

FrOoooiy 0eoCu OV.VvO.
 Columbus. O., Nov. s.-The demo cratic state committee has no addition. al returns.
 Republican Chairman Dick has re vised his figures so as to claim from s5,ooo to 6o.0Oo plurality for Judge Nash for governor. and the rest of the republican state ticket, and an un- usually large majority in both branches of the legislature. No sen ator is. however, to be selected by this Legislature. The total vote was per haps exceeded only at the last presis dential election. It will reach 920, 900. as compared with 794. .000 last year, and s64, 900 in 1897. with which year the vote was compared. The plurality of Judge Nash exceeds that of President Mckinley in 1896, and is almost double that of Gov. Bushnell in 1897. The Jones vote, although the largest ever boiled for a third candidate, is not re- garded as large as indicated in the earlier returns Tuesday night It is not likely to exceed 100. .000. and almost half of this vote was cast in Cleveland. Cincinnati and Toledo.
 Ii is estimated that the Jones vote fin Cuyahcga county was 25,o00; in Hamilton, 10000. jn Lucas, 5000, and in Franklin, 2,500. Outside of the fu- sion troubles in Hamilton. the con- fusion in Cuyahoga county and the Jones movement in other places, the republicans seem to have made gains throughout the state, especially in the rural districts.
 The senate stands 1e republicans, 8 democrats and doubtful, including three from Hamilton county. The house stands 5s republicans. 34 demo- crafs. and F doubtful. including the 10 members from Hamilton county.

KENTUCKY.
Full Returns Net Yet Received. So
 Doubt Lfngera.

Cincinnati, Nov. s.-Supt. Miller, oi the Western Union Telegraph Co, who has been collecting the election news of Kentucky, issues the following bull. let,n.
 The following conclusion reached late Tuesday night, regarding the cleo fion in Kentucky, seems to hold gool nj this time. Returns received giy, Goebel plurality of 7.o77, but of tn, counties not yet heard from in any. thing like a complete way, ten gave democratic majority of 3,562 in 'e7 and Ie gave republican majority ol lo,71o. Therefore, if there is no re publican loss in. these counties, Fay. lor is elected.
 A republican loss seems improbable as there are generally republican gairs elsewhere. p
 Ex-Senator Blackburn sanguine.
 Frankfort, Ky, Nov. s.-At Goebel Headquarters former Senator Black. burn said:
 The republicans must carry Jeffer. son county by oyer 4,5oo to win. and onr information is they have failed ta do this. The democratic majority. while small, is safe, and our ticket is elected. Democrats will have a major. ity in both houses of the legislature Our majority on joint ballot will be al least 12, and probably more."
