THE ELECTION.

New YORK, Nov. I.-Preeldent NC
KiDley's vote in the electoral college
will probably be 1872, gain of q votes
over 1896. The Indications are that
William J. Bryan will receive 155
votes, as against 176 in 1896 This Is
the estimate compiled from the latest
returns from all over the country. Nc
Kioley carried all the States that be
did in 1896, except Kentucky, where
the indications favor Bryan. He cap
tured Nebraska, Kansas. Utah Sou b
Dakota, Washington and Wyoming,
from the democratic column. The re-
turns from these States are meaere, but
Mckinley apparently has carried them.
The popular vote for Mckinley will
show a decrease from that cast for him
in 1896.
McKinley's popular vote will show
loss OF little more than $4,000 from
that of four years ago. 10 1896 his
popular plurality was 6O3,5l4. FIgur.
ing on the complete returns thus far,
at hand, 1t is estimated that Mckinley
plurality OF the popular vote lie in
round numbers $4,000.
