seventh congress Win be even more h.
publican than the Fifty-sixth.
Illinois went for Mckinley by a big
mat0 t0rity. but the Democrats elected
their State ticket by a majority almost
as large as the Republicans had for the
national ticket. 1t was one of the queer
happenings of election.
In the New England States Bryan
made a good run, cutting down McKin-
ley's majority in many instances. But
on the whole, the strength of the dis
trlcts was not impaired to any extent
and the increase in the vote polled for
Bryan may be attributed to his per-
sonality rather than to the principles
which he advocated.
In Canton, Mckinley received the re-
turns confident of the outcome. Bryan
when he received bulletins from New
York State was somewhat disappoint-
ed, but on the whole, seemed less per-
turbed than did those about him.
Mr.. Bryan refused to make any state
ment on the result, but promised to
make one later.

RESULT IN OHIO.
Majority of $4,000 Rolled Up For Mo
Kinley and Roosevelt.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. I'm this
state, the home Of President Mckinley.
voters focked to the standard of it's fa-
vored and prominent son and rolled UP
a majority of $4,000 for him and his
running mate. Theodore Roosevelt.
In every section of the state the vote
was cast early, and while some districts
Jagged somewhat in sending returns, it
was evident at an early hour that Nc
Kinley would receive a handsome ma
jority.
In Cleveland and Cincinnati McKin-
ley's majorities were a trifie in excess Of
what they We're four years ago, and in
other cities, also including this city,
gains were noted.
OF the 21 congressman voted for it
may be said that II and possibly Is are
Republicans and are successful. This is
a gain of three members, which shows
how strongly Republican the state has
gone. Party leaders in this state, in
kilograms sent to Republican leaders
here, express themselves as well satisfied
with the result. Telegrams of congrat-
ulation were sent to the president at his
home at Canton.

PENNSYLVANIA IN LINE,
MoKinley's Plurality oO,oOO-ouay May
Go to Senate.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. t.
Pennsylvania's plurality for Mckinley
is over 100000 In Montgomery and
Chester counties, where the fusionists
made a strong fight to elect nine anti
Quay members of the legislature, they
suffered a severe setback, the regular
Republicans winning by large major
tiles.
Pennsylvania's delegation in the next
congress will not be less than "a Repub-
licans to 6 Democrats, as against 20 Re-
publicans and 10 Democrats in the
present congress.
VI. S. Quay's friends are claiming they
will have majority on joint ballot IA
vorable to his reelection to the United
States senate and the returns would ap-
pear to bear out this claim.
The control of the State senate as be-
tween Quay and anti-Quay is in doubt
with chances favoring the Quayites,
though the complete returns may give
the organization of that body to the op-
ponents of Mr.. Quay.

CANTON, Nov. T. Canton was in a
frenzy of enthusiasm last night which
knew no bounds. The crowds which
had been burning red fire down town
marched en- masse to the Mckinley
residence with bands playing, rockets
sending lurid streaks across the mid.
night sky and the tumultous cheers
mingled with the den of horns and
steam whistles. The crowd was stilled
for a time with some of the cheering
news arrived, but the crowd clamored
for the president and he kindly appeared,
waving his acknowledgement Of the
deafening cheers. The president said:
Fellow Citizens-l thank you for the
very great compliment of this call on this
inclement night and at this late hour,
OF the many gratifying reports from
every part of the country, none have
given me more genuine and sincere graf.
itude than those from my own city and
my own county Of Stark. And | appear
now, as | have done on so many former
occasion to thank you once more for the
warm and hearty endorsement which
you have today given my public acts"

Democratic Candidate Received Returns
with Less Apparent Concern Thand
Those About Him.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. Mr.. Bryan
received the election returns at his res
idence ir this city. His house was
fairly overrun with newspaper men and
telegraph operators. Not only was the
first floor of the house largely given up
to them, but two of the rooms in the
second story also. Four telegraph
wires were run into the house. Mr.
Bryan had with him his brother
Charles Bryan, his former law part
ner, ex-State Senator Talbot, Commit
teeman Dahlman and Attorney Schmidt
Mrs Bryan had as companions a cous-
in, Mrs. Rogers, and Mrs. Dahlman.
After receiving the earlier returns in
his library, in the midst of his friends,
Mr.. Bryan retired to his private ap-
artments which were connected with
the outside by a special wire. Both he
and Mrs. Bryan were In cheerful spir-
Its AMI a person unacqualnted with the
circumstances would never have
dreamed from their demeanor that they
were at this time the center OF nation
al interest.
Mr.. Bryan remained in his private
apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part or the time.
He did not make his appearance in the
parlor OF his house where the newspa-
per correspondents had congregated
until II o'clock, and his coming at that
time was for the purpose of notifying
the press that he would have nothing
to say at present but that he
might possibly give out n statement
later. After this assurance, the visit
ors withdrew and soon afterwards the
lights were extingulshed and the house
presented no signs Of anima tion. Mrs.
Bryan spent the evening entertaining
her company and gave no signs either
of fatigue or Disappointment The
feeling is quite general that Mr.. Bryan
will say that he does not doubt the cleo
tion for the second time Of his rival, for
while he has given no direct utterance
to such concession. he indirectly admits
to friends that he does not hope for
more than to reduce the Republican
majority in some of theBastern states.
