NEBRASKA.
| Lincoln. Neb., Nov 8-The fusion
majority in Nebraska will not be less
tnan. 10000 and may reach $4,000.
Republicans make no effort to explain
the causes though a number of lead
ers differ from w. J. Bryan's state
ment that 1t is rebuke to the nation
al administration. They maintain
that the gains are only over last year
when the fusionists fell far short of
their normal strength. They point
out that former Governor Holcomb
when he ran for governor the last
time carried the state by 21,000.
OHIO.
In forecasting Ohio it is well to re
member that from 1884 to the present
a period of fifteen years, Ohio has
elected but one Democratic governor,
and during all that time has never
given it's vote to a Democratic candi-
date for president. With that single
exception from that period it has uni
formly gone Republican by plurali-
ties ranging from 10000 to over 10O,-
000 Not much chance for Democrat
ic success in such a state

cial, and shows McLeans plurality to

Dick today revised his figures so as to

lature. The total vote was perhaps
exceeded only by the last presidential
election. 1t will reach $4,000 as COM
pared with 794, 900 last year. The
plurality of Nash exceeds that Of
president Mckinley in 1896. The

100, 900 and almost half of this was
