Owing TO the length OF time required IN
counting the long ballot of the election
of 1900 II Is Possible To publish only frNg-
mentary and incomplete returns from the
different counties In the state OF Wash
ington. Enough II known. however. a.
warrant the belief that the entire Pepub-
iiean state ticket has been elected.
T. n Schiveiy, chairman of the Repubii-
can state central committee. expressed
himself early this morning as confident Of
the success ~ the ticket throughout the
state. lie said
The returns so Ear received are very
meager and only few parts OF the state
have been heard fran denn'teiy. How-
ever. am perfectly satisfied that we will
carry the state, and by a good majority.
Some OF the first returns that came IN
were not very encouraging, but lately
they have improved wonderfully. and
when the fun count IL made known J
think we will see that Mr.. Frink has
been chosen as the next governor. From
Eastern Washington the returns are uni
formly favorable, and In the west We are
sure OF big majority.
Pierce county Will give Frink ma
jority of 2ae and we expect many more
from King. The other large counties TO the
north. az far as we have heard. viii DO
in line for the Republican state ticket.
That Mckinley will carry the state. and
by 4 large majority. may be looked upon
as absolutely certain. The remainder of
the state ticket will receive a majority
equal TO Mr. frink's.
The congressional candidates on the
Republican ticket will pull through with
out any cificuity. In tho east ! expect
that Mr. Jones viii receive hir usual lsTka
maturity. and In the went cushran VIII
have a large majority over Ronald !
am. as a whole. perfectly satisfied with
xfs.E Intt d
majority may not be quite 20 large 81 the
Republican electoral majority"
