tOraI College
BRYAN ONLY GETS l5S VOTES
Entire Country Is Jubilant Over the
Great Republican Landslide and
VindicatiOn Yesterday

New York, Nov. lit became evil
dent at very early hour last evening
that the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt was assured. At $50 o'clock
returns from nearly two-thirds Of the
election districts of greater New York
had been received, indicating beyond
question that Bryan and Stevenson
could not expect more than 25,0OO or
$4,000 plurality in this Democratic
stronghold, and unless there was a
landslide in the outside counties be-
yond all reasonable expectation the
pivotal state of New York had declared
in unmistakable terms, although by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re-
publican candidates. AS the night pro-
gressed it only severed to confirm this
judgment.
The roll call of electoral votes is ap-
parently as follows:
cKinley-California, 8; Connecti-
cut, G; Delaware, 3; Illinois, "a; Indi-
ana, IS; Iowa, 13; Maine s.; Maryland,
8; Massachusetts, Is; Michigan, IA;

The returns from Illinois betrayed a
like condition. The Republican plural
ity of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it
was still far too large to be overcome.
On the other hand, the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as we'll as Ne
braska, seemed to indicate strong Re
publican gains over 1896. Delaware
Maryland and West Virginia have
given decisive Republican pluralities
for the national ticket.
The count in several of the far west
ern states was naturally GO delayed as
to give little indication of the outcome
there, but they had ceased to have a
determining effect and before 10
o'clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone 70
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story is easily and briefly
told. The Republican ticket will have
a larger electoral vote than four years
ago, but in the larger states Of the east
and middle west, the pluralities have
been greatly reduced.

900 to So New York from 26S, 900 to
