LINCOLN (Neb,), Nov. 5,-The
feature in Nebraska's election count
today was the steady decrease in the
estimated Bryan plurality Returns
from eighty-one out of ninety coun-
ties in the state give Bryan 1880
and Taft 1869. The nine remain
ing counties will probably slightly re-
duce Bryan's plurality, but it can not
wipe it out. Prospects ere that he
carried the state by little over 1000.

in a serious fight. A number of min

of the government retaliated by as
saulting the minority deputies while
they were leaving the congress, many
