rality for Mckinley of about 200. His
majority in the state viii almost GER
tainly reach loo, the figures set by
lean state central committee
Baltimore, November 6-Murray Van
diver, chairman Of the democratic state
committee. comedies Maryland
Mckinley.
Baltimore, November 6.-McKinley
carried Maryland beyond the shad-
wv Of a doubt. The only question Il
be settled being the size Of his MAORI
ty. With practically complete returns
from the city he has a majority here OF
about $500, while from the state. scat
tering returns indicate an additional
surplus Of $500. making his total ma
jority in the state about 10. 900. There
is no reason 20 believe hat the final
will a greatly from those
given above. Chairman VanDiver Of
the democratic state central commit
tee admits Bryan's defeat in the state,
while Chairman Goldsborough, Of the
committee, says that McKin-
majority will reach II, 900 at east.
1t is also certain that the republicans
have elected four out of the six con-
gressmen while the remaining two will
probably be democratic. although later
returns may change this outlook.
WISCONSIN.
Lacrosse, Wis, November 6.-The re-
publican state central committee claim
the state by 1O0, 200.
Democratic Chairman Warden con-
cedes that Mckinley will carry the
state by 10000, but claims hat the
democratic candidate for governor, Mr..
Bohmrich, will carry the state by TO-
900.
Milwaukee, Wis, November Gre
turns from Wisconsin up to 10 o'clock
though comparatively few, show as COM
pared with the vote Of four years ago,
that Mckinley has carried h state by
a large plurality equal, If not to exceed
the figures of 1896, which were 102, 612.
Robert M. Lafollette, the republican
about equal with the presidential IAN
didate and is likewise sure OF carrying
the state. While few returns have
been received from the congressional
districts these show the republican
candidates for congress to be running
equal with Mckinley and the indica-
tons are that Wisconsin's delegation
will be solidly republican.
Milwaukee,, November SELECTION
returns received up to midnight indi-
cate that Wisconsin mas gone for Nc
Kinley by from los, 900 t lis, 900 plural
ity. The republican state ticket, head
ed by Robert M. LeFollette, will receive
a similar plurality. The legislature
will be overwhelming republican and
the congressional delegation is solidly
republican.
IN DIANA.
Indianapolis, Ind, November Cat
10 o'clock tonight the returns were
coming in very slowly, and from the
meagre reports received up to this
hour indications point to a republi-
a majority in Indiana. A very
heavy ballot was cast. Aside from
the clash in Clay county where one
man fell dead with twenty bullets in
his body, the election has passed off
without incident. Colonel w. T. Dur
ban, the republican gubernatorial can
didate, is running close to the national
ticket. Ten precincts in Mary county
(Indianapolis) show a net gain of PSI
for Mckinley over 1898. The same
ratio, if maintained, would give Nc
Kinley the county by 5000.
Democratic congressman have beer
elected in h Second and Third dis
tricts, while the republican congress
sional candidates were successful in the
Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh and
thirteenth districts.
A conservative estimate at 1880 a.. m.
places Mckinley's plurality in Indiana
at 10000. Entire state Marion county
republican ticket elected.
OHIO.
Columbus, O., November 6.-Reports
from different parts of Ohio indicate
the largest vote ever cast-larger than
either state committees expected, with
SoiAAA6 III III iSSo oiiN
holding his own in cities.
Although early reports from cities
indicate democratic gains, republican
managers claim Ohio has given Nc
Kinley yer $4,000 plurality, and with
the election of Tomkins here over
Lentz, at least seventeen congressman.
Canton, November 6.-Practically
complete returns show Mckinley viii
carry his home county by 1000 major
ity, a gain of 1,16O over 1896.
Columbus, O., November 6.-At 10
o'clock less returns were received than
at any previous election in Ohio at that
hour. This is attributed to the unusu-
ally large vote and the full county and
district ickets. There were seven tick
cts of presidential electors and five
state tickets. Out of 3,1O9 precincts in
Ohio, the state committee had heard at
10 o'clock from less than 200 and from
very few county committeeman. indi-
eating no material change in the vote
of 1896 when Mckinley had a plurality
of 81, 3O9.
