Beokham for governor has gained
1888 over Goebel last year. while
Yerkes has gained 1903 over Taylor
In the same counties last year. Jeffer-

Republicans Gain Electoral Votes but
Majortties Arc Reduced.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-It became evil
dent at an early hour that the election
Of Mckinley and Roosevelt was as
sured. At $50 o'clock returns from
nearly two.thirds of tho election dis.
tricts of Greater New York showed
that Bryan and Stevenson could not
expect more than 25, 900 or 10000 plu-
rality in this Democratic stronghold
and that unless there was a land
slide outside of the state, which was
beyond I'LL reasonable expectat ions, the
pivotal state of New York had declared
in unmistakable terms. thong h by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re-
publican ticket. As the night pro-
ceeded it only served to confirm this
Judgment, the returns from I'LL nois be-
traying like condition. The Repub-
Acan plurality 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 a. Ne.
braska, seemed to indicate strong Re.
publican gains over 1895. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican pluralities.
The count in several Of the far West.
ern states was naturally 20 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 to
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story was briefly told. The
Republicans have larger electoral
vote than four years ago, but in the
larger states Of the East and Middle
West the pluralities had been greatly
reduced. Massachusetts had fallen
from $4,000 to $4,000, New YORK from
S6s,00O to 100000 aud Illinois from
l42. 600 to 100000.
