New York State Gives Mckinley a Plur-
ality-City Democratic.
New YORK, Nov. S.-Latest returns
indicate that the Republicans have cer'
ried New York state by about $4,000,
and that the Democrats have carried
Greater New York by about 27,5OO.
This forms one Of the surprises Of the
campaign for the reason that the Re-
publican chairman and candidate for
governor, Mr.. Odell, had claimed the
state in his nnte.electiou estimates by
only 100, 600 and the Republicans gen.
orally have been willing to concede
that Mr.. Bryan would carry Greater
New York by at least $4,000. The
Democrats claimed that Bryan would
carry New York by from $4,000 to 9O,.

Detailed returns have not been re-
ceived on governor. but it is known
that the entire Republican state ticket
has been elected and that the Repu0.
licans have made gains i'll both houses
of the state Legislature.
The publicans gained several men,
bers of congress from this state, but the
official coun- may be required to de-
eide in one or more close districts.

ENGLISH PRESS CONMENr.
Opinions Of London Papers on tho Amer
ican Election.

lean Election.
LONDON, Nov. 8-The afternoon pa.
pers voice the general sentiment OF
England with the result Of the presi-
den tial election in the United States
The Evening News says:
"Anti.imperialism, the attempt to-
stir up jealousy against England. the
championship of the Beers and pander-
ing to tie Fenians all availed Bryan
nothing. His defeat is even more de-
feat for Croker and Tammany, and
that is its happiest feature 1t really
looks as though Americans are tired Of
the gang of corrupt Irish-Americans
who have degraded American politics
so long"
The Star says: Had Bryan kept
to the issues Of anti-imperialism, anti
trusts and social reforms, he might
con nceivably have won. Sound money
proved his undoing. He has been cru
cited on a cross of gold, but it has
been very much of a voluntary cruci-
flxion. The most remarkable feature
is the personal defeat Of Boss Croker"
The Times in special edition, says:
INC Klnleys victory is no ordinary
party triumph. 1t is victory for COM
mon honesty, sound sense and sober,
enlightened political Judgment

who would not declare themselves
were numerous and recognized the
right to v~te as they pleased. 1t was
good feature and bodies i'll for the
party heeler who has always rounded
up certain number election Tires.
Toward noon the people became en-
Unused and a few heated discussions
took place. In the third ward it
looked along about O'Clock as though
small riot would result. Several
coats we're thrown off by their owners
but cooler heads averted battle.
There were some bets made, most,
however being small ones. A promi-
nent republican made some of his
party workers who had been making Il
| $500 bluff on one Of their candidates
crawtish early in the day. Wagers
! were made as to Major Whites ma
| jority. a number we're that White
would not get over 5000 plurality.
| Democrats generally were hopeful OF
| the success Of their candidate but as
| long as the republicans were willing
to make the odds SO heavy they made
bets on that basis.
Several people who claim their
residence here arrived to vote. Their
object, however, was not SO much to
vote the national ticket as to help out
some of the local candidates who fear
ed the worst.
The number Of ladies who voted to-
day probably exceeds that of any
election in the history of the city and
county, There was big turnout and
| the ladies were not of one mind as to
the respective merits OF the candi
dates.

Major Lyon says his majority will
be from 300 to 400 majority, and gives
it out cold that his popularity with
the ladies had a good deal to do with
it.
Chas. Weber claims that he will
have the highest vote of any Of 'en
when the total vote is officially cont
ed and announced.
L. B. Niemeyer has big majority
Com. Geo. L. Severn says he has
votes enough to spare to give his
brother John, candidate for auditor,
some to help out, and still have some
left.
Marion Conklin carried every ward
in the city. His opponent, Judge
Glaspell, received 25O votes and Mr..
Conklin 34l, giving Mr.. Conklin ma
jority of 81 in the city. Out of % pre-
cincts reported Mr.. Conklin has car
ried p by fair majorities. He has
carried LaMoure and Griggs, accord
ing to advices received this morning,
and seems to stand a good show to
win. In Stutsman Mr.. Conklin'S ma
jority will be in the neighborhood of
300, it is claimed.
Later-Captain Eddy has won out
over his opponent, a. Blewett, by a
small majority.
Reports from the different counties
of the Fifth judicial district show
that while Mr.. COnklin carried Stuts-
man and LaMoure and broke even in
Eddy and Griggs, he lost Barnes and
Wells by considerable majorities and
Foster by a small majority, and was
therefore defeated. Mr.. Glaspell S
majority will be considerably less than
four years ago. Logan county has not
yet been heard from.

VERY CLOSE IN DELAWARE.

Election Of Two United States Senators
in the Balance.
DOVER. DEL, Nov. 8.-The election
is very close. as indicated by the r
turns up to noon. The Republicans
are claiming the legislature on joint
ballot and say they will elect two
United States senator's. The Democrats
say they are apprehensive that Senator
Farlow, the Democrat who finally gave
his support to Addicks, Rep, in the
last legislative deadlock over the
United States senatorship. will hold
the balance Of power in the incoming
legislature.
Later returns definitely determined
the political complexion Of the next
Delaware legislature. It is Republican
in each branch and will probably elect
two United States senator's Of that
party.

In New York state there is quite a
heavy increase in the vote cast. as
compared with that of 1896, which in
crease has apparently gone to Bryan,
Mckinley receiving practically the
same vote as before.
The greatest surprise is the result
in Greater New York, which Croker
claimed by not less than $4,000 'majo-
rity. Incomplete returns Indicate
that Bryan will not come away from
the city with better than 10000 and
that the state is republican by from
100000 to $4,000.
Maryland, which has been classed
in the doubtful column. has apparent
ly given the republican national ticket
about 5000 plurality.
Chairman Kleinogle Of the North
Dakota democratic state committee
admitted that the outlook is very
dark for the fusion ticket and said
that if the returns came in as the
same had been coming the republican
majority would be increased.
"A dispatch from Lincoln says that
last night the people gathered on
Bryan's front porch but the demo-
cratic candidate refused to express an
opinion as to the unfavorable reports
being received.
The state republican committee
claims that Mckinley electors will
have a majority of $4,000. The major
ity for the state ticket is figured at
ll,O0O. Complete returns will proba-
bly, bring those figures down some.

Republican Plurality Of Several Thou
sand Predicted.
BOISE, Ida, Nov. s.-Only 45 pre-.
cincts out of the 400 in Idaho have been
heard. Those gave Mckinley Alta,
Bryan 4,sl0. The net Republican ga
is ll.3 per cent. A gain of only 9 per
cent is needed to carry the state and
many of the heavy Republican pre-
cincts are not yet reported. 1t seems
safe to predict Republican plurality
of 2,SOO. 1t is reasonably certain thai
the Republican state ticket has also
won. No forecast can be given on the
