Additional Returns Emphasize the
Fusion Victory.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. S.-Additional re,
turns received only serve to emphasis
the fusion victory in Nebraska at Tues
days election. The fusion majority
will not be less than $4,000, and may
reach $4,000. 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 adj
ministration. They maintain that tn,
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. Holcomb, when he
ran for governor the last time, car
ried the state by $1,000. Not enough
figures have yet been received to bast
even moderately safe estimate on the
congressional election in the Sixth dis
trict, to fill vacancy, but with thu
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.

Brown, republican candidate for the
supreme court, had 90,S74 plurality
over Mestrezat (dem.), but both were
elected as there are two vacancies in
that body. For the state superior
court, Mitchell (rep.) had s7,4S5 pln
rality over Reilly (dem.). These fig
tires would indicate that as a result OF
the attack on Barnett's military rec,
ord, he was cut about 10000 votes IN
this city. The proposition to author.
ize loan of $12,000,000 for the i'm,
provement of the eity's water supply
was Overwhelmingly carried, the vote
in favor of it being $40, and against
it only 24,121, In two towns in the
state, however, Lancaster and Harris,
burg, propositions to increase the debt
for water Improvement purposes were
defeated.
The latest figures indicate that Bar,
nett had from 100000 to 10000 plu,
rality in the state. The extent of the
cutting can not yet be ascertained ac.
curately, but IL is believed that he suf.
fered the loss of at least 10000 votes
in this way.
There was scarcely any sign of q
fight in the state ut 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,

however, by pluralities for their coun.

Paterson, N. j., Nov. S.-After rest

awoke at an early hour and said that
he felt much better. DIR. Newton, his
attending physician, said at $3.50 a. M.
tnat he was well pleased with the ap-
parent change for the better in his
patients condition. He said that no
Official bulletins would be issued dur.
ing the day unless an unexpected
turn for the worse occurred.
Dr.. Newton called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Hobart was able Tues
day to sit up and take some solid food
for the first time in a fortnight, but
added that the change did not neces-
sarily foretell recovery, but only a
temporary relief.
Mr.. Hobart displayed considerable
interest in the election, but the SUBJ
jees was not discussed in his presence
for fear of exciting him.
President and Mrs. Mckinley sent
their regular daily telegram to Mr..

this forecasts the election of a demo.
