A REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE.
MCKINLEY CARRIES COUNTRY WITH
MANY VOTES TO SPARE
But Very Few OF tho Doubtful States Have
\ Fallen In the Democratic Colump-.Ths
Next House Il. publican

New York, Nov. G.-Midnight.- 1T
became evident at very early hour
this evening that tho election of
Mckinley and Roosevelt was assured.
At past 8 o'clock returns from nearly
two-thirds of tho election districts of
Greater New York had been received,
indicating beyond question that
Bryan and Stevenson could not ex-
poet moro than $4,000 or 10000
plurality in this Democratic strong
hold, and unless there was O land.
slide IN evideuce beyond all reason
able expectation the State of Now
York had declared in unmistakable
terms, although by greatly re.
duced majority, for the Republican
candidates. AS the night progressed
it only served to confirm this judg-
mont.
The returns from Illinois betrayed
q like condition. The Republican
plurality of 1896 was greatly re
duced, but it was still far too large
to be overcome.
On the other hand, the return
from Indiana, Michigan, the two
Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as we'll
as Nebraska, seemed to indicate
strong Republican gains over 1896.
Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia had given decisive Republican
pluralities.
The count in several of the far
Western States was naturally so de.
layed as to give little indication of
the outcome there, but they had
ceased to have q determining effect,
and before 10 O'Clock the Democrats
had given up the contest, and it was
announced that Mr.. Bryan had gone
to bed and was sound asleep. The
whole story was easily and briefly
told. The Republican ticket would
have larger electoral vote than four
years ago, but in the larger States of
the middle west the pluralities had
greatly reduced Massachusetts had
fallen from $4,000 to $4,000; New
York from 26S,0OO to 10000 and
Illinois from $4,000 to 100000.
The roll call Of States at this hour
is apparently as follows:

THE GREAT CAMPAIGN Is ENDED.
New York, Nov. 7.-Political head
quarters in this city and State are
being abandoned and the campaign
of 1900 is now history. Exc
Stone, who has had charge of the
Democratic national headquarters is
preparing to return to Missouri. Re-
publican leaders of national reputa-
tion who have made their headquar-
ters in this city for several weeks
past are also scattering to their
homes in different sections of the
country.
The official returns as received are
not materially changing the results,
and McKinley's plurality at midnight
remains $4,000 in the State.
Both houses of the State legisla-
ture are Republican by large plu.
rality.
DEMOCRACY UNDIsMAYED--wHAT ITS Flu.
TURE POLICY SHOULD BE.
New York, Nov. FIX. Governor
Stone of Missouri had his statement
made out early today, in which he
reviewed the election of Yesterday.
