Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-11-07

Kfnley has carried New York state by
a majority over Bryan of about 15O,-
900. compared with a Republican ma
jority in the last presidential election
of 26S, 469.
The total vote in the city Of New
York is approximately 10000 larger
than it was in 1896, and up the state
the increase is about 10000. In the
city Bryan wiped out the plurality OF
10000, which Mckinley had four years
ago. and took on n plurality for him
self of about $4,000 Up the state Nc
kinley barely held the vote which he
had in 1896, the added vote going to
Bryan. The vote for y. b. Odell. Jr.,
Republican nominee for governor is
considerably larger than that for Nc
Kinley.
The election passed off quietly both
IN the city and state. There We're no
more than the usual number of arrests
of men accused of attempting illegal
voting at city precincts and where the
accused made it clear that they We're
innocent. they We're permitted to re-
turn to the polling places and vote
without further molestation. Returns
from congressional districts are scat
tering and incomplete.

plurality for William Mckinley that

Mckinley by $4,000. Returns also in
dicate the election of the full Repub-

being confined almost entirely to Cook

Republicans have lost two and posi-
bly, three representative in Chicago,
the most sensational defeat being that
of William LOrimer, one of the most
prominent members of the Cook cOun
