Republican State Central Committee,

in the Republican ranks. I predict that
an attempt will be made at the coming
session of the Legislature to disfran-

| LINCOLN, Nov. 40 p. m.)-It is
evident. to both parties in to-day's fight
that Nebraska has repledged her allie
glance to the fusion standard. While
Republicans are not willing to admit
defeat, early figures point that way.
There has been a steady falling off of
the vote of both parties. If the pres
ent ratio is maintained Ex-Governor
Holcomb and the fusion State ticket
will be elected by not less than 10000.
fuusionists claim much more.

continue to show the same fusion gain
as earlier reported, and there is no lon
ger the least doubt of the fusion ticket s

mitted defeat, though not conceding it
by as large a majority as claimed by
the fusionists.
Asked at midnight for a statement,
w. j. Bryan replied with laughter: II
concede the State of Nebraska to the
fusionists by 1900.
This (Lancaster) county elects the
entire Republican county ticket, with
the exception of Sheriff.

carried Massachusetts to-day by g.
600 votes, electing w. Murray Crane
Governor. The entire Republican

the same plurality as the head of the
ticket and the Legislature of 1900 will
also be Republican by the usual large
majority, there being few changes in
either branch.

town missing was as follows: w.
Murray Crane (R.) 16S,S46. Robert
Treat Payne. Jr., CD 1O3,812.

While the Socialists lost representa-
tive in Haverhill, their candidate for
Governor led the Democratic nominee
in that city, and in other parts of the
State the Socialistic doctrine was given
some Endorsement.

| played little part in the election, and
Senator Herbert C. Parsons of Green
| field, where the question was an issue
before the people, was defeated. Mr..
Parsons ran independently, and was as
sisted in his campaign by number of
anti-expansionists from this city.

1870 o'clock tonight show that both

has resulted in a conpiete victory for
the Democratic ticket in this (Arapa-

not reach 5000 out of a total of 5000
