TEXAS.
Houston, Texas. November Last
| nights estimate of 175.000 majority for
| the democratic ticket In Texas Is about
correct, as indicated by the returns, so
| far received. The only republican con-
| gresham from Texas has been re-
| placed by a democrat and the delega-
! ton will be solid. The one republican
state senator has been defeated and
| the legislature is composed entirely Of
| democrats.
CALIFORNIA.
] San Francisco. November THE
majority for Mckinley in California
| continues to grow and the indications
| are that 1t will reach 10000. Complete
| returns from 1.574 precincts out OF g.
! 100. outside of San Francisco, give
| Mckinley 107, 1892. Bryan S1,24s. The
same precincts in 1896 gave Mckinley
| 81, 1867, Bryan 81. .S01. Owing to the fail
ure of a few election officers to make
| a semi-official report, the complete
| figures in San Francisco cannot be as
| certained at present. but it is safe to
| say that the republican presidential
| electors have carried the city by 5000
| or 10000. The republicans have elected
| all seven congressman. The legislature
is republican by a majority of twenty
| six.
NEW YORK.
| New York, November THE con-
gressional representation from this
state will consist of q republicans and
| 13 democrats.
| New York. November 7.-Political

being abandoned. and the campaign of
1900 is now history. Ex-Governor
| Stone, who has had charge of the dem
| ocratic national headquarters, is pre-
pairing to return to Missouri. Repub-
lican leaders of national reputa ton
who have made their headquarters
| here in this city for a number of weeks
| past, are also scattering to their homes
| in different sections of the country.
The official returns as received are
not actually changing the results of
McKinley's plurality at midnight re-
mains approximately 145.000 in the
state. John B. Staachfield. the demo-
cratic nominee for governor ran ahead
of his party's presidential electors, but
Odells plurality still remains about
100000.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, November 7.-Complete,
but unofficial, returns from the legisla-
tive districts in the state indicate the
election of Isl republicans, 46 demo-
Gratis. 6 fusionists and l independent
republican to the house of representa-
tives. The last house stood: Republi-
can 127, democrats II. fusion 6. This
insures the reelection of Quay to the
United States senate.
| Philadelphia, November 7.-Complete
but unofficial returns give Mckinley
27S.736 plurality in Pennsylvania
COLORADO.
Denver Colo. November 7.-Returns
from yesterdays election are slowly
| coming in, but sufficient returns and
careful estimates have been received
to show that Bryans plurality will be
| from 80, 600 to $4,000. and may reach
10000. The republican managers con-
cede the legislature to the fusionists by
a majority of 90 on Joint ballot. Or
man, democrat, and the whole fusion
ticket will have about $4,000 plurality
In Arapaho county Bryan's plurality
will be about $500 though this viii
considerably exceed the plurality giver
the state and county tickets. The de-
feat of Senator Wolcott for the senate
is generally conceded. but with sew
eral aspirants in the fusion parties it i:
is impossible to predict with any ac.
curacy who his successor Will be.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
L
board of state canvassers will not meet
| and announce the official count until
the 18th instant. No reports of any
disturbances have come from the coun-
try districts. The democrats won by
a large majority in Beaufort the only
county in which there was a republi-
can ticket for county offices. TIVE
amendments to the state constitution
were voted for, and were carried with
very little opposition, but one of them
permitting four cities to be exempted
from the law making per cent. over
the value of all taxable property the
, limit for municipal bonded indebted.
: ness, will doubtless fail to be enacted
because of a fatal typographical error
in the printed joint resolution of the
legislature and in the printed ballot
Because of this error the proposed
amendment will have to be re-submitt-
ed to the people two years hence.

election of Colonel w. T. Durbin, re.

tion of the entire state and Marion
, | county republican ticket, 8 and perhaps
10 out of Is congressman, and the cleo
ton of a legislature that will have q
republican majority of 40 on joint bal.
lot, is summary in brief of yesterdays
: battle at the polls in Indiana. An un.
| expected development is the fact thai
the republicans made their Stronges
gains in democratic strongholds. Il
seven heretofore strongly democrati,
StrongholdS, Mckinley and the state
| ticket showed a greater ratio of gair
, than was shown by the figures from
, | several strong republican counties.
