IT WAS A BIG REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE
Indications are That He Will
Have 3O5 Votes in the
Electoral College.

New York, Special.-It became evil
dent at very early hour Tuesday
evening that the election OF Mckinley
and Roosevelt was assured. At $3.50
o'clock, returns from nearly two
thirds of the election districts OF
Greater New York had been received,
indicating beyond question that Bry-
an and Stevenson could not expect
more than $4,000 or 5000 plurality in
this Democratic stronghold, and un-
less there was q landslide in the out
side counties beyond all reasonable
expectation, the pivotal State Of New
York had declared in unmistakable
terms although by a greatly reduced
majority, for the Republican candi-
dates. As the night progressed it
only served to confirm this judgment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed
like condition. The Republican plural
ity Of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it
was still far too large to be overcome.
On the other hand the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne
braska, semed to indicate strong Re-
publican gains over 1896. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican plurahties.
The count in several of the far
Western States was naturally so de-
iayed as to give little indication OF the
outcome there. but they had ceased to
have a determining effect, and before
10 o'clock the Democratic leaders had
given UP the contest and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone to.
bed and was sound asleep.
We whole story was easily and
bri9ly told. The Republican ticket
would have a larger electoral vote
than four years ago, but in the larger
States of the East and Middle West.
the pluraHties had been greatly re-
duced. Massachusetts, had fallen from
174,00o to $4,000; New York from 26S,-
900 to 10000 and Illinois from 49,
900 to 100000 or less.
The roll call Of States at this hour
is apparently as follows:
McKinley-Connecticut, s; Della
ware, 8; Illinois, "a; Indiana, Is;
Iowa, 13; Maine. 6; Maryland, 8; Mas
sachusetts, Is; Michigan, IA; Minneso-
Ia, 8: New Hampshire, 4; New Jer-
sey, 10; New York, 36; North Dakota,
8; Ohio, %; Pennsylvania. 80; Rhode
Island, 4; Vermont, 4; West Virginia.
6; Wisconsin, 12; California, 8; Wy
oming, 3. Total, 259.
Bryan-Alabama, IL; Arkansas, 8;
Colorado, 4; Florida, A. Georgia, 1S;
Louisiana, s; Mississippi, 8; Missouri,
II; Montana, 8; North Carolina, II;
South Carolina. 9; Tennessee, II;
Texas, Is; Utah, 3; Virginia, 12.-
Total, 139.
Unreported-Idaho, 8; Kansas. 10;
Kentucky, 13; Nebraska, 8; Nevada,
8; Oregon. 4; South Dakota, 4; Wash
ington, 4.-Total, 49.
If all the unreported States should
turn out as Democratic, a highly i'm
probable contingency, it would not
change the result. The latest returns
from Nebraska indicate a Republican
plurality.
The Fffty-Seven Congress seems to
be Republican by substantial work
ing majority.
The gubernatorial ticket have appar-
emily followed the national, and Odell
is elected in New York and Yates in
