There was good humor at the Reuubli
can headquarters all through the early
part of the night and as the Republicans
kept on in q way to add to the good
feeling, the crowd that thronged the
headquarters rent the air with applause
and cheers.
At $50 Mr.. Payne announced that the
Republicans would carry New York by
100000 Perry Heath came in at o'clock
from Indianapolis, with the positive as
surance that Indiana would certainly go
for Mckinley by at least Is, 00O" Later
arrivals at headquarters were Richard
c. Kerens, of Missouri and Charles G..
Dawes, the comptroller Of the currency.

The hilarity rose high when g. message

News was slow from Indiana and final
ly a telegram was sent to National Com
mttteeman New, at Indianapolis, asking
for particulars. The reply came as fol-
lows: II am not going off half cooked,
but we have certainly carried Indiana
by an increased majority over 1885,
Notwithstanding the facts that the tel
egrams poured into the office in per-
feet stream, there was from the first
not more than one or two that contained
statements calculated to lower the hopes
of the Republican party and they were
unimportant. All the rest were of a
joyous character, and coming as they
did from all parts of the country, they
seemed to the partisans gathered around
Mr.. Payne's desk to foreshadow a sweep
ing victory for their party.
Besides the states we have already
claimed said Mr.. Payne at II p. M, 1--WE
now hold the following: Kansas, 10:
California, 9; with the one vote Bryan
got in 1885, Nebraska s.; Nevada, 3; South
Dakota, 4; Utah, 81 Washington, and
Wyoming. votes, making a total of 295
electoral votes for Mckinley To these
will probably be added Kentucky, with
the one vote lost four years ago, and
Idaho with 8, making a total Of 2ss
