The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-11-15

Against this the democrats claim tina
Bryan carried the state, though by a
narrow margin of perhaps not over
a thousands: that a fusion has a safe
working majority in the legislature; that
fusion state officers are elected by 5000
to 5000, and conceding reelection of Mer-
Ger and Burket: that fusion has pulled
through Robinson, Stark. Shallenberger
and Neville. TIL latter Is the only con-
gresham conceded by the republicans.
The World-Herald (dem.) says: The leg
~islature of Nebraska is fusion, by 72 votes
out of 12S on joint ballot. In the senate
there will be IA republicans and 10 fusion
lists. In the house there will be Al repub-
licans and So fusionists.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. wit the eX-
ception of a short drive in the early even
ing. w. J. Bryan remained in his study
during the day, rising late in the morn
ing and retiring early at night. He said
he had no statement of any kind to make
at present. Mr.. Bryan received hundreds
of kilograms during the day and evening
from personal and political friends. but
their nature was not disclosed. 1t Is
Mr.. Bryan's intention to remain in Lin
coin at least until he is thoroughly rest
ed. To newspaper correspondents he
asked to be excused from outlining his
future action.
Kentucky.
Louisville, Ky, Nov. Sat 1870 a. M,
with returns from all but 60 out of 1,SS4 pre-
cincts in Kentucky, the Courier-Jourral
puts Bryan's majority at 1854 and Beck
hams 4,06S. The missing precincts are
about evenly divided between democrats
and republicans. Gov. Beckham, at DEM
ocratic headquarters, said: II am absolute
ly certain that I have been elected governor
by a majority of between 5000 and 10000
votes" Leslie Combs, chairman of the
republican state campaign committee,
said: w still believe that Mr.. Yerkes
has been elected by a majority of 5000
votes. Our figures show that Mckinley has
run 900 votes behind Yerkes."
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. S.-The republican state
central committee received tele grams from
the chairmen of all the republican county
committees except Adams county, giving
pluralities on the national and state tick
cts. The tabulation of these pluralities
showed that Mckinley received a plurality
of S4.919 and Yates 1855.
Congressman Rodenberg, of the Twenty
first district. telegraphed Chairman Fred
II. Rowe, of the republican state commit
tee, that he had been defeated by Kern. his
democratic opponent. This, with William
Lorimer's defeat in the Second district,
gave the democrats two more members of
the illinois delegation. The republicans
now have IA and the democrats eight con-
gressmen in the Illinois delegation. On the
face of the unofficial returns the repub-
licans will have u and the democrats ten
Illinois congressman in the next congress.
Reports indicate that the republicans
have elected n and the democrats rs men,
bers to the lower house, and that the repub-
licans have elected 20 and the democrats
have elected % senators. On this showing
the republicans have on a joint ballot 106
votes, or three more than a majority.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Nov. S.-Everything took on
its normal condition Wednesday,, and there
were no signs that an election had been
held. A complete figure of the republican
victory in Wisconsin will not be known
for perhaps several days, as many of the
precincts are far distant from railway sta
tions. and will be sent in by mail. Gen. Bry-
ant, chairman of the republican state central
committee, reduced his claims of plurality
slightly from those given out Tuesday
night, placing his latest estimates at 1861
900 for both national and state tickets.
Chairman Warden, of the democratic state
committee, was at his office attending to
the winding up of the affairs of the COM
mittee preparatory to closing h~eadquar-
tiers, which he expects to do before the end
of the week. Speaking of the result in the
state, he said the ~stupenGous majorities
were a surprise to everybody, republicans
no less than democrats. The republican
state headquarters will probably remain
open until the complete returns have been
received. Interest now centers in the ap-
pointments which will be made by Gov
elect Robert M. LaFollette. But few
changes are likely to be made by the new
governor. and no changes are talked of in
the offices of the other state officers.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, nd, Nov. S.-A plurality
of anywhere from Is. 900 to $1,000 for the
republican national ticket: the election
of Col. w. T.. Durbin (rep.) to the gov
ernorship; the election of the entire state
and Marion county republican ticket;
nine and perhaps ten out of 10 congress-
men. and the election of a legislature
that will have a republican majority of
40 on Joint ballot. is a in brief
of Tuesdays battle at the polls in In
diana. An unexpected development is the
fact that the republicans made their
strongest gains in democratic strongholds.
In seven heretofore. strongly democratic
counties Mckinley and the state ticket
showed a greater ratio of gain than
was shown by the figures from several
strong republican counties.
With the exception of the Fourth dis
trict, which I'D to this time is in doubt,
Indiana's contingent in congress will be
as follows:
First District-James A. Heminway
(rep.).
Second Dlstrlct-Robert w. MierS
(dem.).
Third District-W. T. Zenor (dem.).
Fourth District-In doubt.
Fifth District-Elias Shalloway (rep.).
Sixth District-James E. Watson (rep.).
Seventh District Jesse Overstreet
(rep.).
Eighth District-G. w. Cromer (rep.).
Ninth District-C. B. Lands (rep.).
Tenth District Edgar C~rumpacker
(rep.).
Eleventh District-George w. Steele
(rep.).
Twelfth District James Robinson
(dem.).
Thirteenth District-A. L. Brick (rep.) }.
Ohio.
Columbus, O., Nov. S.-Democratic State
Chairman Lang had no statement to give
out. Republican State Chairman Dick said
"Unoficial returns received from 81 out of
the IS counties warrant the claim of 70, 600
for Mckinley, and we elect II of the q
members of congress-, a gain of two men,
bers." The estimates on the four missing
counties makes the plurality about "a, 600, OF
a net republican gain of about q, 600 over
the vote of 1896. The republicans gained in
II counties and the democrats in II. most of
the democratic gains being in Cleveland,
Cincinnati and Toledo, where 1t is reported
that most of the vote that Mayor Jones, of
Toledo, received last year for governor
went to Bryan. The largest previous plu-
rality for president in Ohio was 10000 for
Lincoln, but hat was on a much smaller
vote than was cast in the state this year
The total vote in Ohio was about /, 100, 00O
the largest ever cast in the state, and the
vote for minor parties was smaller than
usual. The republicans carried all of the
close or doubtful congressional districts,
electing Jacob A. Beidler, in the Twentieth
by less than 500; Robert M. Nevin. in the
