IOWA STRONGLY REPUBLICAN.

DES MONIES, Iowa, November S.-Elec-
ton returns came in slowly today, but con-
tinued to be more favorable to the repub-
leans Gov. Shaws (republican) plurality,
which last night was figured at 3d. 900, is
now declared to be 81 600 by the republican
committee, the democrats conceding 1000
Comparison with the vote of two years
ago shows republican gains, although the
vote Is much lighter than then. Several
counties heretofore democratic, notably
Monroe. have given good-sized republican
puralities. The sxty-seven counties so far
reported give Shaw a plurality of 4O,3o1.
Twenty-three counties are yet to be heard
from.
The indications point to republican gains
in the lower house of the legislature. Cum
Minis, candidate for United States Senate,
claims he will have a clear ma jority in the
house and that the senate will be evenly
divided between himself and his chief OPP
ponent Gear. The indications are that the
result of the senatorial contest will not be
decided by yesterdays election, and the
nomination will depend upon the republi-
can legislative caucus in January.

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.
Gets Back From Casting His Vote al
Canton, Ohio.


President and Mrs. Mckinley. accompan-
led by Dr. Rixey and Assistant Secretary
Cortelyou, returned to Washington at 1
o'clock this afternoon from Canton, Ohio.
" here the President went to cast his vote.
The President was met at the depot by
Secretary Porter, who handed him the lat
est election bulletins. The President read
these before alighting from the train. Ever
since leaving Canton last night the Presi-
dent has received the bulletins sent out by
different telegraph and news associations.
He found an accumulation of these aris-
ing this morning. The President was not
surprised in anyway. His predictions of the
result in Ohio have been sanguine from the
beginning. Three weeks ago the President
told Senator Clark of Wyoming that Nash
would have plurality Of probably 10000.
This prediction was in the face of some
dire hints of disaster. The President re-
Ieated his predictions to Senator Pritchard
and others the day before the election.
There were no callers at the White
House today, and Immediately return
irg the President sat down to lunch with
Mrs. Mckinley. Later in the afternoon
he went to his office, where he found more
bulletins awaiting him.
