Election Figures.

concerning MS future plans ana MS att1-
tude on public questions In view of Tues
days result. He intimated Friday that
he would, before long, enlighten the pub
lie fully, but for the present he had pri-
vate matters which demanded his acten-
tion Mr.. Bryan said he might Ivt ac-
company Col. Wetmore on his hunting trip
in the Ozark mountains. His health is
good and he does not feel the need of such

Kentucky.
Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1O.-With unofficial
returns from every precinct in Kentucky,
the Courier-Journal puts Bryan's ma jority
al 1885, and Beckhams at 4, ITO. The coun-
ty boards canvassed the returns in every
county in the state Friday, and 50 coun-
ties out of 119 in the state whose official re-
turns have been received did not material
ly change the majorities in the foregoing.
There is no doubt that the full official re-
turns will vary somewhat from the I'M
official figures. 1t is hardly possible that
majorities of 1885 and A. ITO shall be wiped
out, however, unless the unexpected hap
pens in the counties where the official re-
turns are not In.
Chairman Leslie Combs, of the repub-
llcan campaign committee, said he wished
to state his position as to contests and cor
rect some erroneous impressions. He did
not want to be understood as saying au-
thoratively that the Kentucky election
will be contested. He says he will advise
with national and state leaders as to
whether nteStS should be made. He does
not say that contests will be made over
the Third Ninth and Tenth congressional
districts, but says that if his information
about the election in these districts is cor
rect, contests should be made. He is in
favor of contesting the electoral vote of
the state, not because Kentuckys vote is
needed by the Mckinley electors, but for
precedent eff allow this election to
pass uncontested,'' says Chairman Combs,
I'VE only foster more frauds for the flu
ture." Mr.. Combs says there will be no
contest for governor, and he has never adj
vised that the governorshlp should be con-
tested.
Missouri.
st. Louis, Nov. 10.-Returns from 10 coun-
ties out Of ia counties in the state indi-
cate that Bryan'S plurality will be between
10000 and $4,000, compared with IS, 727 in
1896. Dockery (dem.), for governor, will
receive between $4,000 and 80 900 plurality
as compared with So, 42S received by Ste
phens in 1896. The total vote in Missouri
is estimated as follows: Bryan, 10000;
Mckinley, 325, 000 The fact that there was
no fusion in Missouri between the demo-
Gratis and pOpuliSts this year accounts to
a great extent for the democratic losses.
