announce the election as president and

Senator Frye said that consent had

he thought it might be necessary to

showed that one of the electors had
been absent, and that the governor had
appointed substitute. The certificate
was not challenged, however, and the
tellers proceeded to announce the re-

Chandler Announces the Totals.
The certificates were not uniform.
and the operation of opening the bulky
packages and seeking out the result
was attended with many delays. When

for Mckinley and Roosevelt there was
n. slight ripple of applause, and the
same response was made to the an
nouncement of Nebraska's vote. Gen.
Grosvenor announced the vote of the
presidents own state of Ohio, but it
created no demonstration. Upon the
conclusion of the announcement of the
vote of Wyoming. by direction of the
presiding officer the tellers formally
ascertained the totals. Senator Chand-
Ter announced the total number of

Mckinley, of Ohio, received 292. and
