8RYkH's STATE IS
WITH HIM STILL
His Work at Home Appears to
Be a Potent Factor in
Returns.
sOUTn DAKOTA AGAIN REPUBLICAN,
Figures from Nearly All Precincts
Indicat the Wanc of Fu.
sion-A Light Vote !
Was Cast.

AihS1iAs ANSD., NOV. c.-IG Is cSluenl
to both parties in yesterdays fight
that Nebraska has pledged her al
leginnce to the fusion standard. While
republicans are not yet willing to adj
NIT defeat, the figures point that way.
There hahs been n steady falling off
OF the vote of both parties, but while
the %fusionists have suffered but little
the republican loss has bceen more
than three TO aaprccinct. Ii the pres
cnt ratio is maintained Ex-Governor
Holcomb and the fusion state ticket
will be elected by not less than 10000.
The %fusionists claim much more.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. S.-A telegram
from Lincoln states the returns re-
ceived there last night were very dis
couraging to the republican commit
tee, showing gains for Holcomb, the
fusion candidate, over the vote of last
year. Chairman Edmisten, of the pop
ulist committee, says that Holcomb is
elected by at least $4,000 votes, and
his majority may be more. Returns
from Omaha precincts indicate sub
stantial gains for Holcomb, and SMALL
cr gains for the fusion ticket as COM
pared with last years in forty-seven
precincts. The total vote polled for
Reese, republican, is 4,s33, us against
a total for Holcomb, populist, of 4,6Os.
In these forty-seyen precincts Hol-
comb gains I'll votes above the fusion
vote of last year. Holcomb runs ahead
of his ticket, and it is doubtful wheth-
cr any fusionists are elected on the
county ticket.
kilograms from the Sixth congress
sional district show the heaviest gains
for Kincade, the republican candidate,
over and above the republican vote
last year, and that Kiucade is running
ahead of Reese in the more populous
counties of the district.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s.-Returns up
to midnight continued to show the
anne fusion gain as earlier reports,
and there is no longer the least doubt
Of the fusion tickets election.
Chairman Edmisten, of the populist
state central committee, said:
1--WE have carried the state by 49,
900 and have made gains in county Of
fees"
Chairman Tcfft, of the republican
committee, declined to make a state
ment, but many of his associates ad-
mitted defeat, though not %conceding
1T by as large a majority as claimed
by the ~fusionists.
Asked at midnight for n statement,
w. j. Bryan replied, with laughter:
II concede the state of Nebraska to
the fusionists by $4,000" l4}s

entire republican county ticket, with
the possible exception of sheriff.
