New York November S.-As a result of a message received at National headquar- ters today by National Committeeman J. H. Manley and N. B. Scott from doubtful points, MT. Manley late this afternoon gave out the following statement:
 Full returns today leave the situation as it was yesterday. We have won by S0S electoral votes. We have carried every Northern State but Colorado, Nevada and Montana, with 10 votes. We have carried Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia. As we predicted during the en- us of the electoral votes in Kentucky under the power of the Goebel law. If they suc- ceed we shall have 295 electoral votes. Our candidate for Governor wires that we have carried Kentucky for the electoral ticket and elected him by over 1000 majority. The time has come when the American people ought to insist, at whatever cost, that the votes shall be counted as they were hon estly cast"
 Senator Scott, in answer to telegnams in quiring as to the result in Nebraska re- ceived the following dispatch from E. Rose water, member of the national advisory committee, who is candidate for the United States Senatorship from Nebraska:
 Returns from rural districts incomplete, but no doubt whatever that Mckinley car ried Nebraska by not less than 3O00. Gov ernorship is close, but prospects favora ble to the Republicans. Both Houses of the Legislature will be Republican by a small majority"

 Ex-Governor James B. McCreary, who managed the Democratic campaign, tonight closed the headquarters and will tomorrow return to his home at Richmond. He said tonight that he had heard from campaign chairmen in every county in the State, and that allowing all the Republicans claim in the Eleventh District, the Republican Gib raltar, he placed the majorities of Bryan and Beekham respectively at 5000 and 5000.
 The Louisville Commercial, Republican, will tomorrow say the election is very close" It will not concede the defeat of Yerkes and the Mckinley electors, and will say that the official count only can deter mine the result
 Chairman Combs of the Republican State Campaign Committee was quoted today as follows:
 While we havnt the figures thoroughly compiled, yet we are certain that MT. Yerkes carried Kentucky by a small, though safe, majority.
 "The result is very close. I think that 1t will probably require the official count to determine how the State goes. When left headquarters Yerkes had a small plurality, with seventeen counties still to be heard from. l am informed that over 5000 ballots were not counted by Goebel election of- ficers throughout the State on account of trivial technicalities
 We have discovered that not only sys- tematie frauds have been practiced all over the State, but in some counties there was wholesale exclusion of voters from the polls. Tn Fayette County, for instance, in two precincts, 800 voters were kept from voting. In Breathitt 600 persons were kept from voting Challengers and inspectors were also excluded from the booths. In numbers of. counties the returns were pad ded by the Democrats, notably in Franklin and Owen Counties"

OTHER LEADERS
 EXPRESS OPINIONS

Austin, Texas, November S.-Judge John H. Reagan returned yesterday from Paies- tine, where he went to cast his vote. Judge Reagan is one of the most prominent fig ures in Texas Democracy, and the only surviving member of the Confederate cab met.
 Judge Reagan stated that he was not sur prised at the defeat of Bryan because the issues were not presented properly. He said that the party committed a blunder when they attempted to put the American peo- pie in the attitude of sympahizing with an enemy of the Republic, and thereby placing themselves in the position of abetting a War against the United States"
 Judge Reagan continued 'The Federal ists made the same mistake that our party made this time They were opposed to the purchase of Louisiana and in that day and time the means of transportation were so crude that trip from New York to Louis jana consumed about the same time that Is now required to go from the United States to the Philippines, and our party is In error and commits a grave blunder in opposing territorial expansion.
 ''The issue should have been the currency question. The Republicans by act of the last Congress retired the silver dollar and abolished silver certificates, issuing in lieu thereof gold certificates. I consider that this transfers the sovereignty of the United States from the hands of the government into the control of the naional banks of the country. Had the fight been made on this issue and the outrage of such legislation exposed, the result would have been differ ent"
 Judge Reagan also stated that he had written Congressman Bailey a letter, and on two occasions had told MT. Bryan per- sonal,y that the party was committing grave mistake in pressing the anti-im-

St. Louis, November S.-The Republicans are considering proposition to contest the election in the city of St. Louis. The mat ter has already been discussed by the Re- publican City Central Committee and by individual candidates, and will be taken up for official consideration as soon as the official count has been made They are convinced that proper examination of the ballots would result in the rejection of $500 to 5000 fraudulent votes that have been placed to the credit of the Democratic can didates. Those would be sufficient to re- verse the result on nearly all the candi- dates w. M.

Omaha, Neb., November S.-Complete re- turns from two-thirds of the counties In Nebraska and scattering returns from the balance show that Mckinley has carried the State by a plurality of at least 2000. An equal number of returns the State ticket indicate that Nebraska has reelected Gov ernor Poynter and the entire3 State ticket by pluralities ranging from 800 to 1900 oyer the Republicans, the Governor being the high man.
 The legislature will likely be decided by Douglass County, in which 1t will take the official count to determine the vote The World-Herald Dem.) claims the lieu tenant governor will cast the deciding vote in the upper house and that the lower house is evenly divided, with two places in doubt. The State Republican Committed which last night gave out the claim that Dietrich and the Republican State ticket had won by from 5000 to TOGO majority this afternoon scaled down "close to the dan ger line" and claimed the election of ths State ticket by from 1000 to 2000.
 In Douglass County the count is close, and charges of fraud are made by the Democrats. The Republicans claim to have elected one out of three Senators and six out of nine Representatives, while the

Gently invented an apparatus which

frame containing a great number of
metal rods placed side by side and
movable back and forth The receiver
is similar apparatus, in which the
