NEBRASKA CLOSE.
Mckinley Majority of Five Thousand
 Indicated.

Omaha, Nov. 7.-At 10 o'clock Repub- lican gains continue steadily in all dircc- tions, and the indications are that the state has gone for Mckinley by from 5000 to 5000 majority.
 Mir. Bryan, when informed that New York was lost to the Democrats and that the general outlook was not favorable, made no comment
 Twenty-Five precincts outside of Doug las county, which in 1896 gave Bryan 2,593 and Mckinley 3,158, give Bryan 2,60G and Mckinley 3,515, a net gain for Mckinley over 1896 of 341.
 In Omaha 15 precincts give Mckinley 2,434 and Bryan 1,585, Republican gain of 175 as compared to four years ago. At this rate of gain the Republicans will easily carry the state by 5000 majority, as there are 1 ,250 precincts in the state.
 The congressional ticket for Nebraska stands estimated: First, E. J. Burket ,Rep); Second, D. H. Mercer (Rep9: Third, John R. Hayes Rep.): Fourth, John D. Pope tRep.); Fifth, A. c. Shel- lonbarger PopJ; Sixth, William Neville Dem.).

 For Bryan-KinRs and Erie For Mc- kiniey-The Legislature.
 New York, Nov. 7.- Returns from the 61 counties of the state, partly csti. mated, give Mckinley d plurality of To, IlS and 0dell for governor a margin over Stanchfeld of 92.202. If is proba- ble that both pluralities will be increased by complete returns.
 Two thousand eight hundred and thir- teen election districts out of SPA dis tricts in New York state outside of Greater New York give Mckinley 4Ss,- OPS, Bryan 332,999.
 The same districts in 1896 gave Me Kinley 4S4, ,14i, Bryan 291, sos and Pal mer 7,706.
 While Mckinley's vote remained prac- tieally stationary Bryan made heavy gains over the vote of 1896.
 Kings county proved disappointment to the Republican managers. Up to the last moment they were confident that Mckinley would have a plurality in Brooklyn of ut least 10000. He actually received only about one-quarter of that figure, and 0dcll, on the basis of incom- plete returns, lost the county altogether. New York county gives Bryan plurs>- ity of 3l,0O0 and Stanchhcld margin of about 10000 more.
 Complete returns for the borough of Brooklyn on governor show that Stanch- field has carried the borough by 4.13G over 0den. McKinley's plurality in tho same borough is about $500.
 Erie county proved another disappoint- ment to the Republicans. It gave Me Kinley only 5000 plurality, although twice as much had been confidently ex- pected.
 Schoharie Is faithful to Bryan by about the same plurality that 1t gave him in 1896.
 Extraordinary engcrness to vote was manifested all over the state. In some districts more than half the total regis. tration had been disposed of before the polls had been open two hours.
 In almost every county perfect voting weather prevailed, clear and cold. There were showers in Chautauqua and Oneida counties early in the day. and n drizzlinp rain was reported from Schoharie. the

Denver, Nov. 7.--Returns indicate that; Colorado has given Bryan at least So. .Oo0l plurality. The fusion state ticket is probably elected by half that plurality and it appears that the fusionists wilr have a majority of the legislature. Many counties have not been heard from, oth- CTS have only estimates, and none has given full returns. A hard hKht has, been made by the Republicans all over the state on the legislative ticket In the interest of Senator Wolcott, who Is al candidate for reelection, and 1t Is poRsi- hle that Republican representatives have, been elected in some counties which went for Bryan. There Is little doubt thntl Congressman Bell hns' been reelected lnl the Second district, md if Is believed that Shnfroth is reelected in the First, but this cannot be said positively.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

the total vote for governor was somewhat behind that given the national candidate, W. Murray Crane was reelected by a somewhat larger plurality than that re- ceived by President Mckinley. The re- duction in the Republican plurality was due not so much to the falling of in the party vote as to the return of the so call cd Gold Democrats of 1896 to the regular Democratic ranks.
 In Boston, when all but one precinct had been reported, Bryan's total was an- nounced as 44,S13 and McKinley's &C., 347. a lead for Bryan of S,466.
 The gubernatorial vote was much slow CT in arriving. With seven precincts yet to be heard from, the total vote for Crane was figured to be 34,727 and Paine's 37,1G5, a plurality for Paine of 2.43S on these returns. It was estimated that Paine would lead Crane In the en- tire city by about 2,500. Late returns showed Naphen's plurality in the Tenth congressional district to be about 1,50O and verified the previous report that Con " was a winner in the Ninth congress sional district.
