NEBRASKA CLOSE.
Mckinley Majority of Five Thousand
Indicated


Omaha, Nov. TAT 10 O'Clock Repub-
lican gains continue steadily in all direc-
tions, and the indications are that the
state has gone for Mckinley by from
5000 to 5000 majority.
Mr.. 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
1888 and Mckinley 3,156, give Bryan
2,606 and Mckinley 3,515, net gain for
Mckinley over 1896 of 341.
In Omaha Is precincts give Mckinley
2,434 and Bryan 1,5S5, 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 $50 precincts in the state.
The legislature is clearly Republican by
a working majority on joint ballot of
from s to II. The state ticket will be
closer, but Republicans are very hopeful
of carrying that, too, which means two
United States senators.
The congressional ticket for Nebraska
stands estimated: First e. j. Burket

Republican Plurality of 1896 Cut In
Two.


Boston, Nov. 7.-President Mckinley
has carried Massachusetts, by about So
600 plurality, reduction of nearly 1907
600 from that of four years ago. The Re-
publicans have elected 10 and possibly
IL of the congressman, few by an I'M
creased plurality over 1896, but in the
majority of the districts their candidates
ran behind those of four years ago While
the total vote for governor was somewhat
behind that given the national candidate.
w. Murray Crane was reelected by q
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 off in the
party vote as to the return of the so call
ed Gold Democrats of 1896 to the regular
Democratic ranks.
In Boston. when all but one precinct
had been reported, Bryan's total was am
nouneed as 44,S13 and McKmleys So,
BAT, a lead for Bryan of S,466.
The gubernatorial vote was much slow
er in arriving. With seven precincts yet
to be heard from, the total vote for
Crane was figured to be 34,727 and
Paines 37,165, plurality for Paine of
2. 43S On these returns. 1t was estimated
that Paine would lead Crane in the en-
tire city by about $500. Late returns
showed Naphen's plurality in the Tenth
congressional district to DE about 1850
and verified the previous report that Con-
ry was winner in the Ninth congress
sional district.
