DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL HEAD
QUARTERS.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-rhe belief pre-
walls at the Democratic national head
quarters that the battle is Lost. and
that Mckinley has been reelected by
larger plurality than he received four
years ago. Senator Jones, near whom
B was seated Ex-Governor Altgeld, of
Illinois. and Ex-Governor Hogg, of
Texas, was busy reading bulletins from
various States and commenting upon
the figures AS he read n bulletin he
said
"This shows heavy falling off for
Bryan, or heavy falling off for Nc
Kinley." but when asked TO express his
opinion as to the result, he said: Il
do not know yet. The returns are too
meagre to make a prediction"
I'VE are going to win yet" said ex-
Governor Hogg. '.These ngures are
doctored and are the work of Wall
street gamblers. They do not represent
the will OF the people"
II do not know how the result will
look, said Ex-Governor Altgeld. THE
returns are not sufficiently complete to
make an estimate"

ernors. Senator Jones was shown n
telegram from New York stating that
w. j. Stone had conceded that State
by over 100000. His only comment was:

not going to concede anything now"

out SO that there were less than 100
people in the room.

cratic National Committee, said:
II cannot predict the result. The
: returns are SO insufficient as to pre-
Guide all possibility of n good guess
The figures from New York Indicate
that the Republicans have carried that
State and see that they are claiming
Maryland and Ohio. The former claim
may be right, but ] am unable 10 saw
as to Ohio. for the reason that we do
4 not yet know how the vote stands
Ale full returns will be late in coming
IN and they may make some surprising
changes from the present apparent
stand"
