still incomplete. but the amazement over
the result has not suhsided. Judge Par
ker carried Greater New York by only
fl 900.
In general. the situation is chiefly in
tereSting because of the fact that the
tickets i'll many of the States were cut.
President Roosevelt ran ahead of his

In his statement Mr. Bryan said rcferr-

Maryland In Line

Tuesdays election WIS signal Re
strong in their endorsement of Roosevelt,
Fairbanks ANA prosperity.
The latest returns from every State in
the Union indicate that President RocSc-
welt has received the largest popular
vote ever east. HMd the largest vDtc in
the Electoral College. including Missouri,
which breaks III" SOLID South" Reese
welt has 343 electoral votes Roostvrlt's
popular plurality in the States carried by
the Republicans is about 2.5OO. .OUu. Par
kers plurality in the Democratic States
is about 5Oo.0o0. This gives Roosevelt
an estimated plurality of 2,O00.OO0
more than double the plurality of S49,-
100 obtained by Mckinley in 1900.
Even Pennsylvania broke her record
and gives II plurality of 100000. Hi
nois comes next with 100000. Chicago
led the way in Illinois Every one Of
the 80 wards in the city went Republi-
can, and the plurality of 1O3 600 given
for Roosevelt there was increased by
10000 in the rest of Cook county.
--latest unofficial returns show that
about 15,0OO,O0O votes were cast on
Tuesday; that in round numbers PreSi-
dent Roosevelt received 100000, Judge
Parker 5000. 900 and Watson. Dehss and
Swallow 1,OO0O0O among them: that the
result in Maryland is 80 close that the
electoral vote will certainly be split
these are the latest developments in con-
nection with the most remarkable politi-
cal landslide ever known in the history
of the United States.
Complete returns from all States will
not be available for several days, and
there is a possibility they will decrease
the estimate of Judge parker's vote and
add to the Socialist and Prohibition
figures; but the likelihood that President
Roosevelt'S plurality of 2.000.OOO. or his
majority of 1,00O,OOO over all will be re-
duced is a small one.

DELAWARE REPUBLICAN,.

1ne election in Delaware resulted in a
decisive Republican triumph. The Re
publican majority of probably 1000
swept everything before it, with the
probable exception of the Legislature,
which is in doubt at present writing. but
with chances largely favoling the Re
publicans.
The ticket elected is as follows:
Representatives in CongrcSS-Dr Hi
ram r. Burton.
Govcrnor-PreSton Lea.
Lieutenant Governor - Isaac Thomas
Parker.
Attorney y-General-Robe1t II. Richards
Insurance CommiSSioner-Dr George
W. Marshall
State TreaSurcr-Thomas y. Rawlins.
Auditor-George II. Dick.
DR.. Joseph II. Chandler Regular Re
publican candidate for Governor, polled
ahcut 800 votes. all in New Castle coun-
ty. a~ he was not on the ticket in Kent
and Sussex.
Should the Legislature prove Republi-
can. as is very probable, the Union Re
publicans will be largely in the majority
and will control the caucus. This will
mean mt least the caucus selection of ]
Edward AddickS for United States Sen
ator, and probably his election.
