LIST and I'd, with the 18th district still
undecided.
| Returns by Precincts.
| Omaha, Nov. 7.-One hundred and
thirty precincts in Nebraska outside
of Omaha and Douglas county give
Mckinley 1910, Bryan 1885. The
same precincts in 1896 gave Mckinley
14,345, Bryan 1865. +.
Twenty-Five precincts in Douglas
county give Mercer (Rep), for con-
i gress, 3,771. Howard Dem.) 2,S11.
The state is claimed by both the fu-
! sionists and Republicans. The figures
received up to midnight indicate that
the state will be very close on the ma
tional ticket, and will probably not
vary over 1000 or 5000 either way.
The state ticket is running very close
to the national, both Republican and
Democrat. The legislature is in doubt
and it will no doubt require full re-
turns to determine the complexion Of
that body. Owing to the very hard
fight made on the legislative ticket,
and to the fact the next session Of
that body will elect two United States
senators, the interest now centers on
! that branch of the ticket. There are
several very close counties which will
return about ten members to the state
/ assembly, and until they are heard
from it will be hard to give definite
figures, although both sides are claim
ing a majority on joint ballot.
5a The fusionists have probably elected
: three congressman, in the Sd, 9Th and
9Th districts, the remaining three dis
tricts being Republican. MERGERS ma
jority in the I'd district will be from
800 to 1000.
The returns received to 2 a. m. indi-
cate some change in favor of the flu
sion ticket, both national and state,
including the legislature. The returns
from the agrarian communities are
materially cutting down the gains
made by the Republicans on the earlier
returns and the chances now favor the
fusionists carrying the state by small
plurality, should the present percent
ages remain good in the districts not
yet reported. A noticeable feature of
the change is the vote on the legs-
lative ticket in Douglas county, which
returns the largest delegation of any
assembly district in the state. The
indications now point to the fusionists
electing at least a part of their delega-
ton. Outside of this county little has
been heard from the legislature.
The chairman of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic committees are
reticent with regard to making state
, ments, and it is evident that neither
care to give an estimate.
J On the national ticket, at 2:3O a. M,
$50 precincts give Mckinley a plural
ity of about 5000 outside of Omaha
and Douglas county.
