Topeka, Kan, Nog. 7.-At midnight
Chairman Albaugl, Of the republican
state committee, said. Returns al
ready Indicate that the state Will give
Mckinley over 10000 plurality that
solid republican congressional dele
cation will be elected, that the legls-
lature will be republican on joint bal
lot, and that the republican state
ticket will be elected by $4,000 plu-
raIity.'
At the same hour Chairman Ridge
ly of the fusion committee, said:
"Informaton so far received is very
meager. All returns received show
slight fusion gains.'
Charles Curtis, republican, was
elected.
Partial returns from the Fifth con.
gressonaI district show republican
gains and indicate election Of w. A.
Calderhead republican, by 1000
Chairman Ridgely, Of the populist
state committee, said at midnight that
the republican claims OF carrying
Kansas are all based on meager re-
turns from the cities. He said no re-
turns had yet been received from the
country and that II was expected these
precincts will show large fusion
majority. John W. Breidenthal, fu-
sion candidate for governor, went
home at ten o'clock confident Of his
election. lie expressed the belief that
no definite returns can be received
from Kansas before late this forenoon.
Chairman Love and Vice Chairman
Locke, Of the democratic state COM
mittee, refused to concede the defeat
OF the fusion state ticket or the ma
jority claimed by the republican
managers for Mckinley. They agreed
with Chairman Ridgely that any
claims based on the incomplete re-
turns from the cities were immature
and that the result would be in doubt
until the country precincts could be
heard from.
Morton Albaugh, chairman republic
an state committee, said: sour re-
turns are fragmentary, but all show
heavy republican gains over 1895.
These indicate that the republicans
have carried the state by from 10000
to 10000. We have nothing from
congressional and legislative districts
except the meager dispatches referred
to, but from them | am satisfied that
we have elected seven congressman
and majority OF the legislature.
The dispatches by precincts are cor
