Amador ledger., 1900-11-09


last Tuesday for honest government
with no uncertain voice. Not only has
Mr.. Mckinley carried all the States
which we're his in 1896, but he has
added thereto several States in the Far
West, enough to materially increase
his plurality in the Electoral College.
The Congress of the United States will
be Republican by an increased majority
and there will be Republican gains in
the Senate. The misguided adherents
of Bryan are crushed in every direc-
tion. There is scarcely a spot in the
entire country where they made any
gains or cut any considerable figure In
the voting. In New York city the
Democrats made slight gain over the
vote OF 1896, but fell far below the
normal Democratic majority.
In Brooklyn there are losses for Nc
Kinley over the vote of 1896, but large
Republican gains over the vote of two
years ago.
The New England States are solid for
Mckinley. The Middle States all vote
for him. The South is probably un-
changed from the vote of 1896. It is in
the Far West, therefore, that Presi-
dent Mckinley has made his greatest
gains. At this writing the returns are
meager, but there is no doubt that sew
eral States which were carried by
Bryan in 1896 gave their vote to Nc
Kinley this year.
OF the so-called doubtful States,
Maryland votes for Mckinley by IL, 200
to $1,000. West Virginia gives Re-
publican plurality of not less than 1O,-
900. Kentucky, although very close,
apparently has also gone Republican;
Indiana rolls up larger Republican
vote than she gave in 1896 and Illinois
is overwhelmingly Republican.
Wisconsin surpassed her record of
four years ago when she gave 1O2, 900
plurality to Mckinley. The entire
Congressional delegation is Republican.
Minnesota gives Mckinley $4,000
plurality and elects Republican Leg
lslature that will elect a United States
Senator to succeed Nelson. The Re-
publicans elect four out of seven Con-
gressmen.
South Dakota gives Mckinley a
plurality estimated at 5000.
North Dakota more than held up it's
record OF four years ago; McKinleys
plurality is about 10000. The Leg
islature is overwhelmingly Republican.
Nevada remained true to free silver
and gave Bryan a plurality of from 500
to 1000. Bryan carried Missouri by a
reduced plurality. Both sides claim
the G9vern9rship, the Democrats for
Dockery by 1900 and the Republicans
for Flory by 10000.
Arkansas gave q reduced Bryan
plurality. 1t will be about $4,000. In
some places there was SO little interest
in the veting THAT the polls were not
opened until 8 a. m.
Oregon voted for Mckinley. giving a
plurality estimated at 1900. This is
big gain over 1895.
Bryan has probably carried Montana.
Wyoming is Republican by from 1000
TO 5000. A Republican Congressman is
elected and the Legislature is strongly
Republican.
California returns come in slowly,
bgt early reports show heavy Republi-
can gains over 1895 and the State is
safely Republican. A big vote was
cast in Washington State, and the
COUNT is being made very slowly. The
Republicans claim the State.
Kansas went Republican by about
20, 900.
The Ohio plurality for Mckinley will
not be less than $4,000. congressman
Lentz, Democratic Anti-imperialist,
was defeated for reelection. The Re-
publican gains in Utah Indicate that
Mckinley has carried the State by
about 10000, and that the Republicans
have elected their State and Congress
ional tickets.
Bryan lost his own State to the Re-
publicans by estimates varying from
5000 to 10000,
