ILLINOIS.

At 1880 complete returns from fifteen
counties in the state and partial re-
turns from the others, including the
full vote of Chicago, in Cook county,
indicate a plurality for William Nc
Kinley that will probably exceed co.
900. Chairman Watson of the demo-
cratic state central committee at that
hour conceded the state to Mckinley
by $4,000. Alschuler. democrat, may be
elected by 10000.
Returns so far also indicate that the
republicans have lost two, and possi-
bly, three congressman in Chicago, the
most sensational defeat being that of
William Lorimer, one Of the most
prominent members of the Cook coun-
ty republican organization IN the Sec
ond. Outside of Cook county the con
gressional delegation is in doubt.

At 1890 a. IN. Wednesday, it is appar-
ent that Iowa is republican by 100000
and that a solid delegation of eleven
republican congressman will be sent to
Washington. Because of the late
closing Of the polls all over the state,
I o'clock, but 523 out of 2,137 precincts
in the estate have been heard from.
These give Mckinley 200, 7o7 and Bryan
2O4, 1872, a net republican gain of twenty
to a precinct. If this ratio is main
tanned, and there is little doubt it will
be, McKinley's plurality will be io4.-
900, the largest on record in the state.
In 1896 McKinley's plurality in Iowa
was 65, 552.

The World-lierald says; Returns from

county, well scattered over the state,
give Bryan 1924, Mckinley 900. The
same precincts four years ago gave
Bryan 5,s97. Mckinley 7.oa3.
This shows a net loss in those pre-

UNREPORTED AND DOUBTFUL,

A dispatch from New York at mid
night says:
II became evident at a very early
hour that the election of Mckinley
and Roosevelt was an assured fact.
The pivotal state of New York has
gone on u~nmistakable terms, although
by a reduced majority, for the republi'
can candidate. As the count progressed
1T only served to confirm this Judgment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed a
like condition. The republican plur'
atty of 1896 was greatly reduced, but
it was still far too large to be over
come.
The count in several of the far west
ern states is usually so delayed as to
give no indication of the outcome, but
they had ceased to have a determining
effect, and before 10 o'clock the demo-
Gratis had given up the contest and 1t
was announced Mr.. Bryan had gone to
bed and was sound asleep. The whole
story was easily and briefly told. The
republican ticket would have Il larger
ELECTORAL vote than four years ago, but
in the larger states Of the east and
middle west the pluralities had been
greatly reduced
