Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-On further
precinct returns from over the state,
the Republican state central commit
tee has made an estimate placing the
plurality for Judge Sedwick at T.
900.
The fusion committee will not con-
cede defeat, but says the result will
be very close.
On figures from nearly 400 precincts
outside of Lincoln and Omaha the
State JourEql estimates Judge sedg-
wick's plurality at not less than 5000
and says it may be 1000. The few
returns on regents of the university
show they do not differ greatly from
the heads of the tickets.
All calculations were upset by the
vote in some counties heretofore fu-
sion, notably Nemaha, Buffalo, Muck
oils, Clay and Kearney, which this
year gave small Or pronounced re-
publican pluralities.

ARGUMENT IN PROGRESS.

Morning Session of the Court
Thursday.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The entire
time of the Schley court of inquiry
was devoted to argument in Admiral
Schley's behalf. Immediately after
the court convened Capt. Parker pro-
ceeded with his address, and he was
followed without loss of time by Hon.
1sidore Rayner, Admiral Schley's
chief counsel. Capt. Parker took up
the discussion of the subject where
he left off Tuesday, considering in
turn the reconnaissance of May 81, the
coaling question and the battle of
July 3, including the loop of the
Brooklyn. His address Wednesday
morning was comparatively brief.
Mr.. Rayner began his speech with a
discussion of the second specification
of the precept relating to the circum-
tances attending the movements of
the flying squadron off C~ienfuegos,
and then proceeded to consider very
briefly the cruise from Cienfuegos to
Santiago, which is covered by the
third specification. He passed from
these specifications to the sixth and
went from that to the end of the
llst, before he returned to speclhca-
tlon one, reservlng that m the
fourth and fifth specifications to close
MS arguments.
These latter specifications related
TO the Santiago campaign and to the
charge of disobedience of orders, and
were reserved for the latter part of
the speech because of their import
ance. The audience was larger than
on tuesday. There were 1,5OO appli-
catlons Tor reserved seats.
capt. Parker talked for 20 minutes
was followed by Mr.. Rayner. He
maintained the blockade of Santiago
was effective. He defended Commo

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 6.-Complete,
but unofficial, returns from the city OF
Baltimore give Herring, democrat, for
controller, 1886; Platt, republican,
4O,393. The republicans also elected
their entire city ticket, with the eX-
ception of Davis for sheriff, who APP
pears to be beaten by about six hun
dred majority, and the indications are
that they have carried all three OF
the legislative districts, which VIII
give them is delegates and a state
senator.
The returns from the state are stlll
very slow in coming in, and the hrst
experience of a general election under
the new law has not proven satlstac-
tory. Not for many years has there
been so great q delay in arriving at
the result in the city as there was
Tuesday night. Under ordinary con
ditions the entire vote has been count
ed and announced by one o'clock, but
at that hour Tuesday night less than
one hundred and fifty precincts, not
half of the city, had been reported,
and from the counties not half a doz-
en- election districts had been heard
from in this city.
Shortly after noon, Wednesday, 1t
was announced here that Alegany
had given the democrats a majority
and that the entire legislative ticket
is almost certainly elected, including
five members of the lower house and a
state senator. This news makes 1t al
most certain that the democrats VIII
control both branches of the leg1sla-
ture, as Allegany has been regarded
as a republican stronghold, and botn
sides placed it in the republican col
umn as a matter of course. 1t is the
home of United States Senator well
ington and of former Gov. Lyndes.

OHIO.

Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-Revised re-
turns show that the republicans
gained almost everywhere except at
Columbus, where disaffection over
some of Gov. Nash's appointments
and local option" caused great DEM
ocratic gains, and in Cleveland, where
fractional fighting and Mayor Tom L.
Johnson's crusade on taxation pre-
dominated. Wherever local option"
was made a distinct issue, as in

thor of the old CLARK local option

At democratic state headquarters
given. Chairman Dick was at repub-
lican state headquarters early, pre-
pairing another statement. Mean
while, the causes of the tidal wave
was discussed among democrats as
well as republicans. Tuesday night it
was said many free silver democrats
did not vote, but the free silver dem
ocrats resent this charge and say
that Kilbourne was one af the origi-
nal free silver men. He is still n
of the most ardent admirers of Bry-
an.
While various causes for the result
are mentioned by the democrats, in
GLIDING the superior organization of
the republicans, the republican lead
ers say their success was mostly due
to the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt, Senator Foraker and Gov.
Nash, and the desire to perpetuate
the principles that were promulgated
by Mckinley when he became gov
ernor ten years ago. And they in
clude Senator Hanna's appeal to Let
well enough along and not disturb
the prevailing prosperity as also a po-
tential factor.

Richmond, Va, Nov. --latest re-

The most conservative estimates
place the democratic majority on the
state ticket at about $4,000. The in
dications are that the republicans
have elected one senator and IA MEM
bers of the house. This is a gain of
II on the present assembly, but that
body will still be overwhelmingly
democratic in both branches.
