to Democrats is being sustained by
later reports. Thomas Marshall (RepD

ahead of his ticket. Republican COM

White River Junction. VT, Nov. T.
AT 1:45 n. m. returns had been received
from all but 63 towns in the state
mostly small agricultural places
Those will probably give additions to
the Republican majority. From the
towns which have made returns at this
hour, Bryan received 1881 and Me-
Kinley 33.795. This will give Repub-
lican plurality estimated at 10000.
The net gain for the Democrats in this
election over that of 1896 is about 30
per cent while the Republicans have
net loss of about II per cent.

San Francisco, Nov. 7.-While the re-

at hand to warrant the prediction that
Mckinley has carried California by a
plurality of 10000. McKinley's plural
ity in this city will probably reach
1000. The Republicans have elected
congressman from the Sd, 4th. 9th and
7th districts. The I'd and 5th districts
are running very close. No returns
have been received from the 1st dis
