THE CHORISTERS.

There's n little band of singers
Every evening comes and fingers
Meath the window of my cottage in
the trees;
And with dark they raise their voices
While the gathering night rejoices,
And the leaves join in the chorus with
the breeze.
Then the twinkling stars come out
To enjoy the merry rout,
And the squirrels range themselves up
on a log:
And the firef1ies furnish light,
That they read their notes Alright
The katydid, the cricket and the frog.
Al the night hear them singing;
through my head their tunes are
ringing
Strains of music straight from Mother
Natures heart:
Now the katydid and cricket.
From the deep of yonder thicket
Then the croaking frog off yonder
drones his part.
by and by the moon appears,
AS the midnight hour nears.
And her smiles dispel the lowring mist
and fog;
Then the inrth is at it's height
And they glorify the night
The katydid, the cricket and the frog

THE REPUBLICANS
 SWEPT THE COUNTRY
Returns at Midnight Indicate Election of Mckinley
 and Roosevelt by Large Majority
MIR. BRYAN RECEIVED
 THE RETURNS AT HOME

Lincoln, Neb., November 6.-Mr. Bryan received election returns at his residence in this city. His house was fairly overrun by newspaper men and telegraph operators.
 The first bulletin was the one announce ing that Poughkeepsie, N T., had given Mckinley a majority of 1887 and this was followed by another bulletin to the effect that Elmira had gone for Bryan by 1722 majority. When shown this message he simply remarked that 1t was encouraging. The other bulletins from New York came In thick and fast after that, and while MT. Bryan made no comment, there was a feel ing among those present that he was dis appointed in the returns from New York City and Brooklyn. On the other hand, there was considerable encouragement from the interior of New York State and espe- clally gratifying was message from Ma tlonal Committeeman Mackey saying that Buffalo had given Mckinley majority of only about 5000 against a majority of P, 900 four years ago.
 Coming closely upon the heels of the Buff falo dispatch was one from a friend in Boston announcing that the city had gone for Bryan by majority of 1000 as against 11,0O0 for Mckinley four years ago.
 The early dispatch indicated the loss of Maryland and this also was a disappoint- ment for 1t had been believed that state was fairly safe for the Democratic ticket. After receiving the earlier returns in his library, MT. Bryan retired to his private apartments, which were provided with a special wire.

Nine Democratic Congressmen Have Been Elected

BUSY SCENE AT
 HEADQUARTERS

New York November 6.-The headquart- CTS in the East of the Democratic National Committee were filled with long distance telephone and telegraph instruments to- night.
 c. c. Hughes of the Anti-Imperialistic League, ex-Governor Stone vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and others were present.
 Governor Stone read with much gusto dispatch from Augusta, Me, giving Dem- ocratic gains of 50 per cent.
 He also read Connecticut dispatch say ing Republicans were cutting the Repub- hcan candidate for Governor.
 Later Governor Stone appeared to be dis couraged, but said:
 ''We have not all the returns in yet and cannot tell by early returns"
 Then he got a number of dispatches which he drowned at and folded up and put in his desk.
 Norman D. Mack telegraphed from Buff falo that the city would give Mckinley 5000 as against 1000 in 1896. As the returns began to show an increase for Bryan in the city, there was much elatlon, but this was dampened by a Chicago dispatch indicating over 1000 majority for Mckinley.
 When bulletin after bulletin showing Re- publican gains began to come In ex-Goyer- nor Stone left the room. As he was go- ing out some one asked What do you think of it?''
 "This is no time for thinking" was the answer. "I don't think"

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 CAST A SMALL VOTE

The election in Jefferson County yester- day was quiet and orderly There was lit- tie interest manifested in the local situa- ton with the result that very small vote was boiled. The total for the county will probably not exceed 6,00O votes, of which number the Democratic electors received about two-thirds. Only about e-third of the voting precincts had been heard from when the Age-Herald went to press, but these were the largest in the county and represent fully two-thirds of the voting strength.
 In the city of Birmingham where the full vote probably exceeds 6O00 only 1593 votes were cast, of which number Bryan received 113S and Mckinley 455. Of the beats heard from the Republicans carried Irondale, Lewisburg, Gate City and Harrington. The returns from the county so far as received by precincts are as follows
The age-herald., 1900-11-07

- New York, November 6.-At Il o'clock to- night the indications are that President Mckinley has carried New York State by a majority over Bryan of about 150,O00, compared with a Republican majority in the last Presidential election of 26S, ,469. Tho total vote in the city of New York is ap- proximately 60,000 larger than 1t was in 1896 and up the State the increase Is about 30- 000. In the city Bryan wiped out the plu- rality of 30,000 which Mckinley had four years ago, and took a plurality for him. self of about 25,000. Up the State McKin- ley barely held the vote which he had in 1S96 the added vote coming to Bryan.
 The vote for B. B. Odell, Jr., Republi- can nominee for Governor, is considerably larger than for Mckinley. In Brooklyn, particularly, the Democratic nominee for Governor MT. Stanchfeld, appears to have been scratched The election passed off quietly both in the city and State. There were no more than the usual number of ar rests of men accused of attempting illegal voting
 Returns from Congressional districts are scattering and incomplete. On Long Island, Mckinley and Bryan are running so close together that all estimates are yalueless. On Manhattan island, In the Wall street district which includes the borough of Richmond, Staten Island and Nicholas, Muller, Democrat, Is probably elected. Re- publcans ooncede the election of William
  ocrats admit that John Sprunt Hill has been beaten by William H. Douglass, Re- publican, in the district, now represented by Capt. William Astor Chandler. Amos J. Cummings and George B. McClelland, both Democratic members of the present House, have undoubtedly been returned. Interest centers to large extent In the canvass of O. H. P. Belmont in the Thirteenth District and at Il o'clock he was several hundred votes ahead of his rival, William R. Will cox. In the upstate districts Gen. J. H. Ketcham has been reelected the Demo- crats having made no nominations there. In all of the other districts up the State, with the possible exception of Troy and AL bany sections of the State, the Republican candidates are sure of an election.
 Auburn, N. Y, November 6.-This city complete gives Mckinley 4142; Bryan, 200S. For Governor: Odell, 4047; Stanchtield, 2923.
 Buffalo, N. Y, November 6-Buffalo City complete: Mckinley 34673; Bryan, 31,S9S

 New York, November 6.-At 10 o'clock National Committeeman Manley supple nented his previous statemen as follows:
 ''The reports at headquarters at this hour show that President Mckinley Is reelected by an electoral vote larger than he re- ceived in 1896. New England, New York; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota are all in the Republican column"

Burnett Wins in Seventh and
 Thompson in Fifth
BOTH HAVE SAFE MAJORITIEs
Spears, the Combination Republican, Populist Candidate in the Seventh District, Succeeded in Car
 rying Only One County

Returns received at @ late hour last night indicate that Alabama will send to the next Congress a solid delegation of Dem. ocrats. With the exception of the fights in the Seventh and Fifth districts there was practically no opposition to the Dem- ocratic candidates and the following men will probably compose the next Congress sional delegation from Alabama,
 First District-George w. Taylor.
 Second District-A. A. Wiley
 Third District-Henry D. Clayton.
 Fourth District-Sidney J. Bowie.
 Fifth District-Charles w. Thompson.
 Sixth District-John H. Bankhead.
 Seventh District-John L. Burnett.
 Eigth District-William Richardson.
 Ninth District-Oscar w. Underwood.
 The contests in the Fifth and Seventh districts have been close and exciting, but every indication points to the election of both Democratic candidates.
 In the Seventh Congressman Burnett has defated MT. Spears, the Republican-Popu list candidate, by 1900. MT. Burnett carried Etowah by 150O majority, Cherokee by 200, Dekalb by 200 and Cullman by 400. Spears succeeded in carrying only one county, re- ceiving 800 majority in St. Clair.
 News from the Fifth District is very mea- gre, but private messages from the friends of Colonel Thompson say that he has car ried the district over Milstead, the Repub- lican candidate by @ safe majority In Coosa County the result will be very close. Goodwater beat, the largest pre- cinct in the county, gave Milstead small majority. Indications are that Clay County will give Milstead very small majority. vote.

CLAIMS OF VARIOUS MANAGERS

New York, November 6.-Mdnight.-It evening that the election of Mckinley and Roosevelt was assured. At half past eight o'clock returns from nearly two-thirds of the election districts of Greater New York had been received, indicating beyond ques- tion that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30,000 plurality in this Democratic stronghold, and unless there was a landslide in the outside coun- ties beyond all reasonable expectation, the pivotal State of New York had declared in unmistakable terms, although by great ly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates.
 The returns from Illinois betrayed a like condition.
 In Ohio, the returns from Indiana, Mich igan, the two Dakotas Utah and Wyom- ing, as well as Nebraska, seemed to indi- cate strong Republican gains over 1896. Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia had given decisive Republican pluralities.
 The count in several of the far Western States was so delayed as to give little in dication of the outcome there but they had ceased to have a determining charac- ter, and before 10 clock the Democratic leaders had given up the contest, and 1t was announced that MT. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. The rest of story was easily and briefly told. The Re- publican ticket would have a larger cleo toral vote than four years ago, but In the larger states of the East and Middle West the pluralities had been greatly reduced.
 Massachusetts had fallen from 174,OOO to SO0OO; New York from 26SO0O to 135, ,O0O, and Illinolse from 142,O00 to 100000 or less.
 The roll call of the states at this hour is apparently as follows:

 It Is almost certain that the Republicans have carried the Ninth.

Omaha, November 7-.At 2 D. m., 325 pre- c.zcts had beer heard from, and win the latest figures the fusioniats are encouraged in their avowal that Bryan will carry the State by a small plurality. They at least indicate that the early gains reported for Mckinley will be materially cut down by returns from the agrarian counties.
 Some cutting has also been noted in the legislative returns from Douglass County, which has the largest assembl ydistrict del- egation in the State, and which has always been Republican. The latest reports from

tory, and do not believe there Is going to be any. A dispatch from Manly at New York is most encouraging, and another from Payne at Chicago says the Democrats are looking blue. Three of the large cen ters of Kentucky send word that all Is quiet and hopeful"
 Columbus, November 6.-Although early reports from cities indicate Democratic gains, Republican managers claim Ohio has given Mckinley over 60e00 plurality, and with the election of Tompkins here over Lentz, at least seventeen Congress- men.

MICHIGAN.

Detroit, Mich, November 6.-President Mckinley has carried Michigan without doubt. Conservative estimates place his majority at 65,0OO His majority in 1896 41,542. The Evening News says If McKinleys ratio of maiorities in the l10 distrcts heard from is maintained through out the state his majority will be 90,000 The Republican state ticket has also been elected, but by a smaller majority. At 10 o'clock tonight it is the thought that by 40,000, but claim that Bohmrich, Demo- crat for Governor, will carry the state by 10000.
