DEMOCRATS SURPRISED.

Maids Gains ia the Republican Counties
Of Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. o.-There seems to
be no doltS that Missouri has gone
Democratic by plurality of $4,000.
The Democratic ticket received heavy
vote all over the state. Congressman
Alexander M. Dockery, the Democratic
nominee for governor, will have ma
jority that is but slightly smaller than
that of Bryan and Stevenson. Some Of
the counties in the state which have
formerly gone Republican have
changed their political complexion,
surprising the members Of the Demo-
cratic state committee.
Democrats are claiming the election
of the entire congressional delegation
by increased majorities The Republi-
cans refute this claim. They say Bart
holdt>in the Tenth and Joy in the Elev-
enth districts have comfortable ma
jorities, while official counts will have
to establish the status.
The legislature will be Democratic,
but by reduced majority.

MAJORITY REDUCED.

Republicans Garry MASSACHUSETTS, and
Elect Ten of the congressman.
Boston, Nov. S.-President McKin-
Icy has carried Massachusetts, by about
$4,000 plurality, reduction of nearly
l00,0 900 from that Of four years ago.
The Republicans have elected 10 and
possibly II Of the congressman, few
by an increased plurality over 1896, but
in the majority Of the districts their
candidates ran behind those Of four
years ago. While the total vote for
governor is somewhat behind that
given the national candidate, William
M. Crane was reelected by somewhat
larger plurality than that received by
President Mckinley. The reduction in
the Republican plurality was due not
so much to the falling off in the party
vote but to the party recall Of the So
called Gold Democrats Of 1896 to the
regular Democratic ranks.
The Princeton union., 1900-11-08
CLAIM ABOUT 10000.

Ohio Republicans Figure Out Il Larger
Plurality Than 1896.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. s. The Ohio re-
turns arc still incomplete, but the
Democrats concede 10000 and the Re-
publicans claim about so, 900 for their
national and state tickets as compared
with 81, 100 for Mckinley III 1896. The
only dispute is over the Third, Twelfth
and Twentieth congressional districts
and the Republicans claim the election
Of Nevin in the Third and of Tompkins
in the Twelfth, which will make II
Republicans and Democratic con-
gressmen and / doubtful. The Ohio
delegation in the last congress stood 16
Republicans to Democrats.
At noon the Democratic state chair.
man had nothing to announce. Re-
publican State Chairman Dick said:
"The returns from 70 Of the IS coun-
ties Of Ohio show the plurality of Nc

New York State Gives Mckinley Plrr-

New York State Gives Mckinley Plrr-
nlity-City Delnocratic.
New YORK, Nov S.-Latest returns
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried New York state by about l46,000,
and that the Democrats have carried
Greater New York by about 27,500.
This forms one of the surprises Of the
campaign for the reason that the Re.
publican chairman and candidate for
governor, Mr.. Odell, had claimed the
state in his ante.election estimates by
only 100000 and the Republicans gen.
orally have been willing to concede
that Mr.. Bryan would carry Greater
Now York by at least $4,000. The
Democrats claimed that Bryan would
carry New York by from $4,000 to co..
900.
Detailed returns have not been re-
ceived on governor, but it is known
that the entire Republican state ticket
has been elected and that the Repub-
llcans have made gains in both houses
of the state Legislature.
The Republicans gained several men,
bers of congress from this state, but the
official count may be required to de.
eide in one or more close districts.

REPUBLICAN GAINS.

Control the Legislature and Elect Six of
the Eight congressman.
NEWARK, n. J., Nov. 8.-The de-
layed election returns are being re-
ceived and continue to indicate Re-
publican pluralities Essex, Camden
and Mercer counties rolled: up immense
pluralities for the Republicans. Hud-
son, Hunterdon and Warren alone
went Democratic. The house of as
sembly will remain just as it was a
year ago, but the Democrats lost four
senators. The Republicans will have a
majority on joint ballot of 40.
Six Of the eight congressman will be
Republicans and there is a possibility
that the Fourth district, which was
credited to the Democrats on the first
returns, will be accredited to the Re.
publican on the corrected returns.

OMAHA, Nov. s The result of the
election in Nebraska is still in doubt
About $50 precincts out Of l,611 have
been heard from and these show very
substantial Republican gains. The
Republicans claim they will give Nc.
Kinley majority and the Democrats
are equally sure Of the result. The
changes, however, have been SO diver
sifed that it is we'll nigh impossible to
make an estimate. With correspond
ing result in unreported precincts to
those already received, Mckinley will
have small plurality. The legislature
is also uncertain The state Demo-
cratic ticket is running slightly ahead

are from 4G2 precincts outside Of Omaha
and Douglas county, which gave Nc.

tions favor the Fusion delegation in

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.-Later re-
turns indicate that Pennsylvania gave
over $1,000 plurality for the Republi-
can ticket, exceeding even the record
breaking plurality Of 295,027 in 1895.
Of this plurality, Philadelphia fur
nished over l25,000 and Allegheny
county, including Pittsburg, nearly
30, 900. Bryan carried Is of the 81
counties in the state. Returns are not
yet complete, but the indications are
that the next Pennsylvania delegation
in congress will stand 26 Republicans
and 4 Democrats as against 20 Republi-
cans and 10 Democrats in the present
congress. Former Senator Quay's ef-
fort to secure control Of sufficient
number Of the members of the incom-
ing legislature to ensure his return to
the United States senate is still in
doubt. There is no disputing the fact
that the attempt of his opponents to
defeat him in certain counties by fus~
ing with the Democrats was practically
failure.
Late returns from the senatorial and
legislative districts of PENNSYLVANIA in.
dictate that M. S. Quay will have not
less than 145 votes on joint ballot for
United States senator, II more than
necessary to elect. OF the 204 members
of the house, the Democrats have elect
ed less than 50, against u straight out

to the issues OF anti-i1nperialism, anti

BOISE, lda., Nov. S.-Only. 45 pre-

DOVER, Del, Nov. 9.-The election
is very close, as indicated by the re-
turns up to noon. The Republicans
are claiming the legislature on joint
ballot and say they will elect two
United States senators. The Democrats
say they are apprehensive that Senator
Farlow, the Democrat who finally gave
his support to Addiclzs, Rep, in the
last legislative deadlock over the
United States senatorship, will hold
the balance Of power in the incoming
legislature
Later returns definitely determined
the political complexion of the next
