prints table on the national ticket Civ
ing complete returns from SO counties
and on ten other counties, with one pre-
cinct missing from each, out of a total
of ninety counties, giving Mckinley 90,
228; Bryan 85,196. The same counties in
1896 gave Mckinley S5,476; Bryan 9G,547
This is net gain for Mckinley of Ii. .SO3
Bryan's plurality in 1896 was Is, 500. With
this ratio of increase throughout the
missing counties Mckinley will have a
plurality of about 5000 in the State.
There were 10000 to $4,000 more votes
polled in the State than in 1885, and the
Fusionists claim these are mostly from
the cities and towns, which have already
been heard from, and that the counties
yet unreported will give Bryan a small
plurality in the State
The State ticket is running close to the
vote on President, and it may require the
official count to decide on Governor and
other State offices. Both sides claim four
out of the six Congressman. The Legs-
lature is closer than any other ticket.
The Douglas county delegation will be
split about in half between Fusionists and
Republicans. The latest returns indicate
that neither side will have more than
five or six majority on joint ballot.

ley gave out the following statement:
Full returns today leave the situa-
ton as 1T was yesterday. We have

carried every Northern State but Colo
RADIO, Nevada and Montana with ten
votes. We have carried Kentucky,
Maryland, Delaware and West Vir-

tire campaign, they are attempting to
rob us of the electoral votes in Ken
tucky under the power of the Goebel
law. If they succeed, 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 honestly cast
Senator Scott, in answer to tele-
grams inquiring as to the result in
Nebraska, received the following dis
patch from E. Rosewater. member of

Mckinney carries Nebraska by not less

prospects favor Republicans. Both

own any stock in any ice company and
that he has no direct or indirect inter-
est in any such company. He continues
as follows:

The Fusion State Ticket in Nebraska Has Won
Apparently.
(By the Associated Press J

(By the Associated PresS.)
Omaha, Neb, Nov. S.-Complete returns
from two-thirds of the counties in Ne
braska and scattering returns from the
balance show Mckinley has carried Ne
braska by plurality of at least 1000. An
equal number of returns on the State
ticket indicate that Nebraska has re-
elected Governor Poynter and the entire
State ticket by pluralities ranging from
500 70 1900 Ger the Republicans
If the balance of the State shall show
the same percentage of gain and loss.
Poynter's election is certain and the
counties to be heard from being mostly
in the western part of the State, it is
fair to presume that this is the case
The Legislature will likely be decided
by Douglas county in which it will take
the official count to determine the vote.
The World Herald, Democrat, claims the
Lieutenant Governor will cast the decid-
ing vote in the upper House and that the
lower House is evenly divided with two
places in doubt
The State Republican committee which
last night gave out the claim that Deit-
rich and the Republican State ticket had
won by from 5000 to 1000 majority this
afternoon scaled down ''close to the dan
ger line and claimed the election OF the
State ticket by from 1000 to 1900.
In Douglas county the count is close
and charges of fraud are made by the
Democrats. The Republicans claim to
have elected one out of three Senator's
and six out of nine Representatives, while
the Democrats claim two Senators and all
the Representatives.
The Republican committee comedies one
Senator to the Democrats and one Rep
resentative, stating also that the off
cial count may be required regarding two
other representatives. This would give
the Republicans safe majority on point
ballot.

In my opinion the Democratic party

An immediate return to the conserva-
tive and patriotic position occupied by
the party before it was demoralized by
Populism and free silver Republicans in
1896, will mite all true Democrats in an
active oaDosition to the Objectionable
policies of the Administration, insure the
success of our Northern friends in State
and local contests and prepare the way
for a great rational victory in 1904.
The Democratic votes cast for Mr.
Mckinley were not endorsements of his
party or his administration, but protests
against what was considered the danger
