LINCOLN. Nov. 7-CSpecial)-At last T.
8. Allen, chairman Of the democratic state
committee. has conceded the election OF
Sheldon for governor, the entire republican
state ticket and a majority Of the legisla-
ture. He claims the election OF the re-
publican candidates was brought about by
on the part OF The re-
publican managers and by clamor for
fake reform. He issued for the press this
afternoon the following statement:
The republicans have won. They
charged us during the campaign with be

railroad vote throughout the state was cast
solidly for the republican Ticket: we WeIc
also charged with having an alliance with

to watch that party repay the rallIoaus
and saloons for their generous support
Late this afternoon Chairman Rose OF
the republican state committee inquired
that the republicans would have ninety
seven members on joint ballot in the next
LEGISLATURES. He has the figures on very few
OF these. but he has received from county
chairmen or others direct communications
which make his estimate Of the legisla-
ture accurate.
Attorney General Norris Brown came in
this morning and with his daughters Wis
tied republican headquarters. He was con
ratulated generously and expressed him
self as we'll pleased with the outcome of the
election.
Pleased with Douglas.
The result in Lancaster county was about
as estimated early last night. The COM
plete returns show Sheldon received o,6SC
and shalIenberger s,229. giving Sheldon a
majority of 24Sl. II had been estimated
that Sheldon would get 400 majority over
his democratic opponent.
The action of Douglas county In electine
a republican legislative ticket and giving
Sheldon majority has brought the state
and Douglas county closer together thar
| they have been for some time. The fake
reformers down here kept constantly claim
ling Douglas county would go democratic
and Tom Allen expected It would be on his
/ side of the column by big majority. The
news from Omaha was the death blow tC
\ Aliens homes. He said so himself. 1t moi
only surprised the democrats, but 1t sur
prised most of the republicans. Along will
the news from Douglas came news from ou
in the state that Sheldon was not doing a.
well as expected and that the Legislative
districts were shot to pieces. Until ate
! midnight Douglas county was the one ra!
of hope and was the only county the re
publican committee headquarters coul'
point to with pride. Douglas county toda!
