eliminate Senator E. o. Wolcott from
the race. All over the state there was
much scratching of ballots and this ac-
counts for the delay in counting.
Mixed Result Ia Washington.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. Returns
show that Mckinley will carry the
state of Washington by 5000 to 5000
majority. Rogers (fusion) viii prob
ably be elected by a small plurality.
Cushman and Jones, republicans, are
elected to congress.
Idaho Looks Republican.

40 precincts in Idaho have been heard
from. These gave the following re-
suits: Mckinley. 4.477; Bryan, 4.s10.

State Chairman Reeder claims that
Mr.. Quay will have Isl votes on joint
ballot in the next legislature for re-
election to the United States senate

OreeOn's $4,000 Republican Majority.
Portland, Ore, Nov. 7-Nearly COM
plete returns from all but of the
80 counties in Oregon give Mckinley a
plurality of IA, 1O5. 1t is probable that
later returns viii increase this plural
ity.
The Vote Of Vermont.
White River Junction, VT, Nov. T.
With half hundred small towns to
be heard from out of a total of 246
McKinley's plurality is 10000, with

menting this perhaps 1900 in total
of $4,000.
All One Way In New jersey.
Newark, N. j., Nov. THE delayed
election returns continue to increase
the republican pluralities. Six of
the eight congressman will be re-
publicans and there is a possible
ity that the Fourth district, which
was credited to the democrats by the
first returns, will be republican on the
corrected vote.
Kentucky Probably Democratic.
Louisville, KY, Nov. THE Cour-
ier-Journal claims the state for Bryan
by 1901 and for Beckham for gov
ernor by 5000. Republicans, however,
claim the state for Mckinley and
Yerkes for governor by nearly 5000.
Over 200 precincts are still to be heard
from.
Republicans Make Counter Claims.
Louisville, XIV, Nov. AT II o'clock
the claim was made at republican
headquarters here that the state was
safely republican by from 1000 to
10000.
Michigan Overwhelmingly Republican.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. THE latest
figures give President Mckinley plu-
rality in Michigan of s2,o17. Col. A.
T. Bliss, of Saginaw, the republican
candidate for governor, ran consid-
erably behind his ticket, receiving CO.,
$40 plurality. The state legislature
will be Overwhelmingly republican,
the returns showing solid republican
senate and but IL democrats in the
house. There was little, if any, OPP
position to the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the taxing of rail
roads and other corporations on the
cash value of their property instead
of their earnings, as at present and it
was adopted by probably the largest
vote ever cast for such measure.
Pennsylvania Breaks the Record.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7-Later returns
indicate that Pennsylvania gave over
100000 plurality for the republican
ticket, exceeding even the record
breaking plurality of 295,027 in 1896.
OF this plurality, Philadelphia fur
nished over $4,000 and Allegheny
county, including Pittsburg, nearly
$4,000. Bryan carried Is of the 81
counties in the state. Returns are not
yet complete but the indications are
that the next Pennsylvania delegation
in congress will stand: Republicans,
20; democrats, 4; as against 20 re-
pub1icans and ten democrats in the
present congress.
Bryan Gets Nevada by 1900.
Reno, New, Nov 7-When the
state returns are all in Bryan's ma
jority will not fall far short of 1,5O0,
while Newlands (dem.) for congress
will carry the state by not far from
2. 000
Everything Democratic IN South Carolina.
Charleston, S. c., Nov. Tt is not
considered possible that Bryan's ma
iority will fcll short of 10000 in the
state. Every democratic congressman
was elected.
West Virginia 10000 Republican.
Parkersburg, W. Va. Nov. 7.-Repub-
lean committee claims the state by
