EXPANSION POLICY ENDORSED

York and Ohio Republican by Over
whelming Majorities-Ret In
complete, But Decisive Outlooks Is
That Republicans Still Have a Ma
jority in Congress-Simmons De-
feats Carr In North Carolina.
It was a Mckinley landslide. That
is the news from yesterdays election
throughout the country. On the anti
expansion, anti-imperialism issues the
Republicans have had the greatest pic
mic in the history Of American politics.
In spite of his magnificent efforts, Mr..
Bryan has been hopelessly defeated.
The first news that came through
the Western Union bulletins last night
had an unfavorable ring. It indicated
Republican gains IN New York, Ohio
and Indiana. There was nothing con-
elusive in the news; but it was discour-
aging. And as 1t started, it continued.
Early in the night the New York
World announced that it conceded New
York state to the Republicans by $780,
900 majority. A little later The Jour-
nal conceded a majority Of not less
than 100000, and although up to late
hour the count of the vote in the state
had not been completed, there was left
no possible hope for the Democrats
Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska had
been claimed by the Democrats as at
least doubtful. The returns from these
states indicated Republican majorities
from the first and the news that Nc
Kinley defeated Bryan 2OS to los at
Bryan's own precinct in Lincoln was
shortly afterward followed Dy undis-
puted statements that the state of Ne
braska had gone Republican by a de-
cided majority.
Not only do the Republicans seem to
have carried every state that the DEM
ocrats claimed as doubtful; but they
have also carried several that the DEM
ocrats confidently claimed as sure for
Bryan and they have also gotten a
majority Of the members Of congress.
Their victory is complete.
The first satisfactory summary of
the situation came to THE ENQUIRER
in the following dispatch from Mr.. Au-
gust Kohn, at about IL o'clock: 1T is .
regular Republican landslide. New
York, Illinois and Indiana all for Nc
Kinley. At o'clock the New York
World telegraphed Mckinley that he
had 281 electoral votes against 1872 for
Bryan. At 9.45 Republican headquar-
ters claimed positively New England,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, the two Dakotas. New York,
Iowa and Indiana were all conceded
by the Democratic chairmen, as was
also Maryland. OF 1,127 precincts in
Illinois, $50 heard from, gave Mckinley
161, 200 and Bryan, 144,05S. Vice-Chair=
man Stone, of the Democratic execu-
tive committee, conceded New York by
Ion, 1000"
At 1.30 o'clock this morning, the fol-
lowing was received from the Char
lotte Observer: Mckinley elected with
probably more than 300 electoral votes.
He has carried Illinois, Indiana, Mary
land, Ohio, New York, Delaware, New
Jersey, and Nebraska, as we'll as all
Republican states. Bryan lost his own
precinct in Lincoln, Mckinley getting
1O3 majority. Republicans have doubt
less also secured good majority in
the house. The Democrats Of North
Carolina have elected six congressman,
with the third district in doubt. Craw-
ford is defeated by Moody in the 9Th,
and Blackburn elected over Baxton in
the 9Th. In the senatorial primary Sim
mons defeats Carr by about 100000"
AS indicated by the foregoing the
electoral college will stand about as
follows:
