New York State Gives Mckinley i Plur-
ality-City Democratic.
New YORK, Nov. 8.-latest returns
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried New York state by about $4,000,
and that the Democrats have carried
Greater New York by about 27,500.
This forms one Of the surprises Of ths
campaign for the reason that the Re-
publican chairman and candidate for
governor, Mr.. Odell, had claimed the
state in his ante.election estimates by
only 100, 600 and the Republicans gen.
orally have been willing to concede
that Mr.. Bryan would carry Greater
New York by at least $1,000. The
Democrats claimed that Bryan would

WISE MURDER CASE.
Miller and Hardy Acquitted on the
First Indictment.

Miller and Hardy, Acquitted on the
First Indictment.
ANoKA, Mimi. Nov. 12.-James
Hardy and Elmer Miller have been ac-
Quilted by the jury ON the ohargejof
being concerned in the murder of Mrs.
Eliza Ann Wise.
At9:45 a. m. the jury in the Wise
murder case came to an agreement.
Saturday night at 1925 the case was
in their hands for consideration
and on retiring they Immediately took
an informal ballot, after which seven
more were taken before the case was
decided.
Judge Giddings and Clerk of Court
Hart were notified that the jury was
ready to deliver their verdict and when
they arrived in the courtroom it was
comfortably filed with spectators, and
upon arrival Of the attorneys ana pris-
oners the verdict was read. The scene
when the words Of not guilty were
read Is difficult to describe and do 1t
justice. Public sentiment locally has
favored the boys.
Other Indictment May he QuasI,ed.
However. they are not yet free, as it
will be remembered the grand jury
found two indictments against both
the defendants, one for the murder OF
Mrs. Eliza Ann Wise and the other
for the murder of lutte Willie Wise,
who was Instantly killed. The last
named indictment IS still charged
against the boys, but it is understood
that County Attorney Pratt will with.
draw the charge. Should he refuse to
withdraw it it would necessitate all.
other trial, which would no doubt be
the same as the one just ended, as both
crimes were committed at the same
time, place and under the same cir.
cumstances, and presumably the same
parties did the deed, The boys will be
brought into court and either dis
charged OF held on. the other indict.
ment.
The jury refuses to disclose any of
> the ballots taken, but judging from
their conversation, they, or majority
of them. expected the first ballot to de-
eide the case, which would have been
innocent.
This case has been in progress three
weeks, including the task of securing
the jury, which took just one week.

HIGH WATER MARK,

Iowu Gives the Largest Republican Plu-
rality in It's Hiatory.
DEs MONIES, Nov. 8.-Semi-o official
returns of 86 of the 80 counties in the
state give the Republicans 266, 6,066
votes, Democrats l78, ,542 votes, plural
ity 87,4l8. or an average Of 1000 Re.
publicans to the county. The other 13
counties at the same ratio will increase
the Republican plurality to slightly
more than 10000. which is the high
water mark in the states history.
Every Republican candidate for con-
gress is elected by increased pluralities
ranging from 1890 to $4,000. Meager
returns on the proposed constitutional
amendments for biennial elections and
for holding constitutional convention
show both propositions to have carried
by large majorities.

committee states that upon the face of
the returns Van SAINTS election is prob
able by about 1900, which is less by

Rosing also stated that the returns in
dicate such close election that it is
entirely possible that upon the official
count a change in the returns may be
made that will yet give the election to
