NEBRASKA REDEEMED.


OMAHA, Neb., Nov 6-At midnight 200
turned results of to-day's election, thirty
of these being from Omaha and Douglass
county. A majority of them give Repub-
lican gains, which, If they hold good
throughout the State, would indicate a Re-
publican plurality of from 1900 to 5000
However. the fusionists say these returns
are not significant of the real results, that
the outlying districts will overcome these
gains and give the State to Bryan by from
5000 tc 5000. The result Of the vote on the
national ticket will, no doubt, also deter

running very close together I'm nearly all
cases. Although not a factor. the Prohibi-

determine the complexion of the Legisla-
ture, and both sides are claiming a major
ity on joint ballot.
Chairman Hall, of the Democratic State
central committee, was reticent with re-
gard to the result, and refused to give any
figures. Chairman Lindsay, of the Repub-
returns indicated complete Republican
victory, with plurality of from 5000 to
10000 for Mckinley, with no definite returns

KENTUCKY IN DOUBT.
Both Republicans and Democrats
Claim the State.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. Cat midnight
the result of the election in Kentucky
was in doubt. with both sides claiming
the State and presidential tickets. The
Democrats may be considered to have a
trifie the better of the argument. Ex-Gov-
ernor ]. b. McCreary, chairman of the
Democratic State campaign committee,
said:
Bryan and Beckham have carried Ken
lucky by safe majorities. The Democrats
have elected nine out of eleven congress
men, including Gilbert, of the Eighth,
Kehoe, of the Ninth, and Rhea. of the
Third district"
Chairman Leslie Combs, of the Repub-
lican campaign committee said: Official
returns from twenty-eight counties have
been received. In three counties. Beck
ham, for Governor has gained 1,039 over
Goebel last year, while Yerkes has gained
1902 over Taylor in the same counties last
year. jefferson county Uouisville) is not
included in this estimate This indicates
that Yerkes has been elected by safe
majority. In the presidential race Nc
Kinley has probably run Loo behind Yerkes
in the same counties.
The Courier-Journal at midnight says re-
the State now show Bryan and Beckham
najorities. The result will depend on the
size of the majority I'm the Eleventh con-
gressional district, which is heavily Repub-
lean.

ILLINOIS OVER 10000.



as Well as the State.
CHICAGO. Nov. z, a. Incomplete re-
turns from fifteen counties in the State and
partial returns from the others, including
the full vote OF Chicago, in Cook county,
indicate a plurality for William Mckinley
that will probably exceed $4,000 Chairman
Watson. Of the Democratic State central
committee, at that hour conceded the State
to Mckinley by $4,000. Returns also indi-
cate the election of the full Republican
State ticket by majorities considerably un-
der the presidential figures, the scratching
on the State ticket being confined almost
entirely TO Cook county, where Mr.. Alschu-
ler's personal popularity told heavily in
favor of the Democratic nominee, so much
SO In fact that 1t is probable that the coun-
~ was carried for the Democratic State
ticket.
Returns so far also indicate that the
Republicans have lost two and possibly
three congressman in Chicago, the most
sensational defeat being that of William
Lorimer, one of the most prominent men,
bers of the Cook county Republican or
gdn1zation, In the Second district. Out
side OF Cook county the congressional del
egation is In doubt. The Democrats claim
gains in one or two districts, but Republic
leaders assert that the delegation will
remain unchanged.
1t is practically assured that the next
Legislature, which will elect a United
States senator to succeed Shelby NJ. Gull
lom. Will be Republican on joint ballot
at least, and by a sufficient majority to
elect i senator. Democratic gains have
been made in several legislative districts
in Cook county, and ii is claimed by Chair
man Watson that the lower house will be
Democratic by from l to majority.
Chairman Rowe, on the other hand, claims
working majority in both branches of
the Legislature.
In Chicago McKinley's vote of 1896 was
cut down materially, the total vote showing
plurality of S446, hardly a quarter of what
IL was four years ago. The Prohibition and
Social Democratic votes, which were ex-
pected to cut into the strength of the big
parties, did not cut much figure. Wool
leys total vote in Chicago was 1885 and
that of Debs 5,022. Barker the middle-of-
the-road Populist candidate, received but
lS9 votes out of total of over &c., 900.
Returns on the legislative and county
tickets came in very slowly. On the latter
the vote ran close and the election was
claimed by both parties. One of the most
bitter fights of the election was over Lloyd
j.. Smith, candidate for drainage trustee
who was acquitted on Monday of charge
of manipulating warehouse grain receipts
Smith received much Democratic support
and is probably elected. The Democrats
claim a gain of eight members of the Legis-
lature, while the Republicans concede five.
1t may take the official count to decide the
result in several districts.

At Democratic headquarters.

CHICAGO. Nov 6.-The belief prevails
at the Democratic national headquarters
that the battle is lost and that Mckinley
has been reelected by a larger plurality
than he received four years ago. Senator
Jones, near whom 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 a bulletin he said:
'"This shows a heavy falling off for Bryan,
or a heavy falling off for Mckinley but
when asked to express his opinion as to the
result, he said: IT do not know yet. The
returns are too meager to make a predic-
ton"
I'VE are going to win yet" said ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg. ''These figures are doctored
and are the work of the Wall-street
gamblers. They do not represent the will
Of the people"
az do not know how the result will look"
said Ex-Governor Altgeld. 1.-THE returns are
not sufficiently complete to make an esti-
mate"
While conversing with the two ex-Gov-
ernors Senator Jones was shown a teIe-
gram from New York stating that w. ].
Stone had conceded that State by over
100000 His only comment was, well. that
may be right, but am not going to con-
cede anything now"
The returns received at Headquarters
from Nebraska were not very encourage
ing, and by midnight the crowd at the
headquarters had thinned out so that there
were less than one hundred people in the
room.
AT midnight Senator Jones arose from
the large easy chair at his desk, stretched
his arms over his head, and said:
well. I'm going to follow the example
Of Mr.. Bryan. who told me a few minutes
ago over the long-distsnce phone that he
was going to bed and get good Sleep"
Five minutes later the senator was in his
room. Pressed for a statement either con-
corning or claiming the election, he said:
when 1 come down in the morning and
learn the result in Ohio, Maryland, Cali
fornia, West Virginia and Indiana I can
tell you what think about it,
'Do you mean that you concede New
York to the Republicans
WELL replied the senator. "the Repub-
licans claim New York and it looks like
they have got ii, but / am not going to
concede anything tonight"
after the senator's departure ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld and Ex-Governor Hogg re-
NAMED for some time at headquarters read
ing bulletins to a few who still clustered
about the chairman's desk, but before /
O'Clock they, too, went away. and shortly
afterwards the rooms were locked up and
deserted for the night.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 7.-Bryans friends
practically conceded McKinley's reelection
last night. Mr.. Bryan remained in his pri-
vate apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part of the time. He
Cid not make his appearance in the parlor
of his house, where the newspaper corre-
spondents were congregated, until IL
o'clock, and his coming at that time was
for the purpose of notifying the press that
he would have nothing to say for pubica-
ton during the night. He added that he
might give out a statement to-day
After this assurance the visitors to the
house withdrew, and soon afterwards the
lights were extinguished and the house pre-
scented no signs of animation. Mrs. Bryan
spent the evening entertaining her guests,
and gave no sigl either of fatigue or dis
appointment. The feeling Is quite general
that Mr.. Bryan will say to-day that he does
not doubt the election for the second time
OF his rival, for. while he gave no direct
utterance to such concession. he indirectly
admitted last night TO friends that he did
not hope for more than to reduce the Re-
publican majority in some of the Eastern
States.

telegram was sent to National Commit

particulars. The reply came as follows

than one or two that contained statements
calculated to lower the hopes of the Re-

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 6.-Pennsylva-
MAS Legislature is composed of fifty sena-
tors and 2O4 members of the House of Rep

lower House of Representatives was balloted
for to-day, as also half the Senate. The
other half of the senators hold over for
two years more, as after being chosen for a
term of four years one-half of the body re-
tires every two years. This year twenty
six senator's were voted for, the Second
district part of Philadelphia retaining a
senator to fill the unexpired term Of Sena-
tor Holzwarth was voted on. The entire
Legislature will vote for a United States
senator to succeed Quay. whose term ex-
pired March last. The last Senate con-
sisted of thirty-seven Republicans and
thirteen Democrats. OF these twelve Re-
publicans and twelve Democrats hold over.
The last House was composed of 127 Re-
publicans, seventy-one Democrats and six
fusionists. The Republicans therefore had
a majority of seventy-four on joint ballot.

Republicans to the reelection of Mr.. Quay

Republicans Carried the State for Nc
KinIey by $4,000.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 6.-Ccnnecti-
cut decided to-day that her electoral vote
of six should be placed IN the Mckinley
columns: the entire Republican State tick
ct was handsomely Endorsed. the four con-
gressmen were reelected, and a General
Assembly Overwhelmingly Republican was
chosen. The plurality for Mckinley, with
practically all of the returns in, is fixed
at about 23.cO0. Tho surprise of the day
was occasioned by the fact that the Re-
publican State ticket followed closely the
figures Of the presidential contest and was
elected by pluralitjes of ever 2l,0Jo. The
Republican congressman were elected by
major!t;es ranging from 10C09 in the First
district TO narrow margin in the Second

The Connecticut General Assembly will
seat nearly all of its senators as Repub-
licans, while the lower house viii be sur
prisinsly Republican in its complexion.
To the surprise of the Democrats, nearly
all OF the cities of the State gave safe
Republican majorities. The feature of the
day was the tremendous vote cast.

State The defeat of the Democrats has
been thorough and surprising, il being GER
tain that they have lost five out of the six
congressman with the probabilities in favor
of clean sweep by the loss of other. The
doubtful district is the second, in which ex-
Congressman j. Fred c. Talbot is the
Democratic candidate and A. A. Blakeney
the Republican aspirant. The returns, with
one precinct missing, show a majority for
Blakeney, and 1t is regarded as highly prob
able that he is elected. This means a net
loss of two congressman to the Democrats,
the Fourth and the First districts having
been represented by Democrats, though
Governor John Walter Smith, who was
elected in the First, resigned soon after

was practically sure of election.
