OVER ENTIRE STATE
Governor Stanley Receives
Splendid Maioritie8.
REPORTS FROM TOPEKA
Confirm Estimate of $4,000
Plurality for Mckinley.

Governor Stanley left the city yester-
day for Topeka. probably the happiest
man in the country. He feels good over
the fact that since 1890 he is the only
governor Of Kansas who has been grant
ed second term by the people. and in
addition to that his immense victory in
his own county is gratifying beyond
measure.
Governor Stanley before leaving the
city was in receipt Of kilograms from the
different portions Of the state giving es-
Inmates of the condition of affairs and
what the probable majorities would be.
The greater portion of the kilograms, or,
in fact, all of them, were encouraging.
Where Populism had been strongest
there were gains by the Republicans, and
this fact alone was encouraging.
Regarding the state situation, the
Eagle received an Associated Press dis
patch late last night from Topeka which
says:
Returns received tonight only tend to
confirm the early estimates Of the result
Of the election in Kansas. Practically
complete returns show that Mckinley has
a plurality of 5000 and that the Repub--
lhcau state ticket is successful by a pIur-
atty Of probably 5000 less. The legisla-
ture viii be Republican IN both branches,
insuring the election of Republican
United States senator to succeed Lucien
Baker The Republicans have certainly
elected seven congressman, one district,
the Third, being still in doubt with the
chances in favor of the fusion candidate.
The election of the fusion candidate in
this district would leave the delegation
in congress as at present-seven Repubh-
cans and one fusionist."
kilograms received from Allen county
announce the fact that Stanley had made
a gain and that the. plurality would be
about $50. Stanley and Mckinley in that
county went ABOUT the same, there be-
ing very little difference.
Ellsworth county returns reported that
Mckinley had carried that county by
about go and that Stanley had received
more than that. 800 or possibly more.
Marion county came to the front with
nearly 700 for Stanley and the balance
Of the ticket. The gain OF the Republi-
cans in that county was about 250 COM
pared with previous years.
Bourbon county went for Bryan and
Breidenthal The vote was thought be-
fore the election to be very close. but
the gain Of the fusion forces was strong
or than anticipated The vote, however.
was not any larger than that given
Bryan four years ago
Concerning the situation in Leaven-
worth county, special to the Eagle
says:
"Leavenworth county elects one state
senator and three members of the legis-
lature, all Republicans, by big major
ity. Advices to Senator Baker so far in
dictate election of over thirty RepubIi-
cans friendly to Baker and many dis
tricts not heard from. Baker claims
that the legislature is safely Republican
on Joint ballot but will be close"
Shawnee county reports We're most
gratifying to Governor Stanley. The Re
publican gains were large and the esti-
mates given out were that the county
would give Mckinley and Stanley 2009
or more majority.
Reports from many other counties were
received by the governor and majority
Of them showed Republican gains, and
especially with him.
Late yesterday afternoon congratulate
DRY kilograms began to come in from all
parts Of the state. The kilograms were
regarding the splendid campaign and the
brilliant showing Of the election returns.
