Chicago, November 8.-A telegram

tional ticket carried Nebraska by a
majority Of 1000 and the state ticket
by 1000, n that the next Legislature
will be democratic.
Omaha, Neb., November 8.-Complete
returns from t~wo-thirds of the coun-
ties in Nebraska and scattering returns
from the BALANCE show Mckinley has
carried Nebraska by a plurality of at
ledSI L,UUU. An eQudI numDer OF returns
on the state ticket indicate hat Ne
braska has reelected Governor Poyn-
ter and the entire state ticket by plu-
ralitieS ranging from 500 to 1900 over
the republicans, the governor being the
high man.
If the balance OF the state shall show
the same percentage of gain and loss,
POynter's election is certain and the
counties to be heard from being mostly
in the western part of the state, it is
fair to presum that this is the case.
The legislature will likely be decided
by Douglas county, in which it will
take the official count to determine the
vote.
The World-Herald. (democrat,) claims
the lieutenant governor will cast the
deciding vote in the upper hous and
that the lower house is evidently divid-
ed. with two places in doubt.

the election OF the state tickle by from
1000 to 1000. In Douglas county the
count is close and charges of fraud are
made by the democrats. The republi-

three senator's and six out of nine rep
resentatives. while the democrats claim
two senators n all the representa-
tives.

miral Sampson for Santiago, where
they will make an effort to secure OPP
tions on all horse and trolley lines

THE NATION CONGRATULATED
BY Roosevelt on the Results of the
Recent Election

New York, November 7.-Governor
Roosevelt although he did not retire
until after midnight. was up an good
season today at his home in Oyster
Bay.
The governor made this statement.
commenting on the republican victory:
Il rejoice beyond measure over the
way the vote has gone. President Nc
Kinley had to face the most serious and
complicated problems that have been
faced by any president since Lincoln
or by any president a generation be-
fore Lincoln. / do not see how there
could nave been any material improve
ment in the way he has faced and solv-
ed each of them. 1t, therefore. seems
to me a perfectly fair test of the way
our people are willing to back up a man
who has done such difficult and all
important work for the nation. l think
that the supreme capacity for success
full self-government in a nation is clear
ly shown by the struggle through
which the nation has just passed. To
have failed to endorse President Nc
Kinley would nave been a calamity
comparable only to q failure to en-
dorse President Lincoln in 1864. All far
sighted and patriotic Americans feel
deeply thankful for the way in which
the American people as a whole have
shown their goods sense and absolute
adherence to the cause of honesty and
national honor.
Again it should be q matter Of the
deepest qualification at the way those
democrats stood for sound money.
They having Joined hands with their
republican brethren. share the credit
for a victory which represents far more
than any partisan victory. In this con-
test for true Americanism the men who
believe in it have stood together with
out regard to locality or place of birth.
without regard to creed or race origin,
without regard to occupation or any
thing else, excepting the needs of
Americanship, in a way that is a splen-
did omen for the future and that starts
the nation well on h threshold of a
new century"

Question of Holding Secret Sessions
Three Important Questions

Havana, November S.-The commit
tee on rules of the Cuban constitution
al convention is discussing the advis-
ability Of holding secret sessions after
the permanent organization has been
affected, which will probably take place
at the re-opening of the convention
next Monday. \
Senores Capote, Tamayo and Rivera
are the most prominent candidates for
the presidency of the convention.
La Lucia says: 1.-The difficulty will
not be in drawing up a constitution, but
in reaching an agreement as to the re-
ralitions which are tc exist between
Cuba and the United States. We take
it that the convention will insist upon
three fundamental points-no relations
with other governments except the
United States. no power to negotiate
loans. and no authority to upset peace
and order"
