Philadelphia , Nov. 5. Estimates from
everj' county in the state give McKinley an
apparent plurality of 266,950. There is
every reason to believe that the official re
turns will show a plurality for McKinle } * of
nearly 280.000. The legislature is almost
entirely Republican , the Democratic repre

GREAT GAINS IN OHIO.
McKinley Carried Hi * Own State by a
Decided Majority.
Colttmbus. Ohio , Nov. 5. On the compari
son of the vote with that of the last Presi
dential election , Ohio made unprecedented
gains for McKinley. In 1892 Harrison car
ried Ohio \ > y an average plurality for the
Republican electors of 1,072. In that year
one of the Cleveland and Stevenson electors
was elected. In 1893 McKinley nad a plural
ity of over 80,000 for Governor. The Repub
licans carried Ohio in 1894 by 137,000 and
last year Bushnell , Republican , was elected
Governor by over 92,000.
MARYLAND.
The State Carried by at Least 30,000

Baltimore , Md. , Nov. 5. The Indications
are that McKinley leads Bryan by 30,000 ,
20,000 of which has been contributed by
Baltimore. Five Republican congressmen
have surely been elected , the only doubtful
district being the First , In which Joshua W.

given McKinley an overwhelming majority.
The Democrats themselves admit Mclvinley
has a plurality of 15.000. while the Repub
licans claim 25,000 , the highest plurality
ever given in Rhode Island , as the vote is
the largest ever cast The vote for the gold
candidates is very smalt
North Dakota.
Bismauck. N. D. , Nov. 5. The Republicans
have carried the state by from 5,000 to 8 , -

congressional tickets are elected , and North
Dakota will have a Senator who favors the
gold standard.
Vermont.
Montpelieu , Vt , Nov. 5. Returns from
the state were completed ver3' slowly. The
'
Republican majority was about CO per cent'
greater than that of 1892. but it fell away
from the September plurality , being about

Nevada's Plurality.
CAnsoN.Nev. . Nov. 5. It will be impossible
to give complete returns from Nevada for
several days , communication being slow , but
the Indications are that Bryan's plurality
will be far from as large as at first esti
mated , probably not reaching 2.000.
Virginia Democratic by 25GOO.
Richmond , Va. , Nov. . Returns are still
coming in slowly , but Bryan's majority will
reach 25,000. Eight Democratic congress
men are certainly elected. The Republicans
probably carry the Ninth and Tenth dis
tricts.

has been kept steadily up and if it continues
will give the state to McKinlev by over
30.000.
With such a heavy Republican vote over
the state the Republicans have probably all
the congressional candidates , though there
is doubt about Sulzer in the Fourth district ,
Tracewcll in the Third and X.andis in the
Ninth. There is little doubt that Johnson is
re-elected in the Sixth.
The Republicans will have a majority in
the legislature which tha Republican man
agers place at 42 on joint ballot Marlon
county will probably give a Republican ma
jority of 7,000 , whichis a big increase over
the last vote.
MICHIGAN.
McKinley's Majority at Least 40,000
Pingree Leading the Ticket.
Detroit , Nov. 5. Returns from the eighty-
three counties of Michigan indicate thatMc-
' ' in will be 40
Kinle3''s plurality Michigan , -
000. The same returns give Pingree , for
Governor , an estimated plurality of 54,000.
That Pingree should have run decidedly
ahead ox " his ticket generally throughout the
state is regarded as something of a surprise
in view of the combined interests allied
against him. In Detroit he got more votes
than he had received in his candidacy for
Mayor. In 188 precincts of this countyPin-
gree received 37,923 to 19,154 Tor Sligh , Mc
Kinley , 33,653 ; Bryan , 24,417. The Repub
lican state ticket ran considerable behind
Pingree's vote , and several thousand behind
the McKinley vote.
Republican members of Congress were
elected in each of the twelve districts of the
state except the Third and Fighth , and in
the Eighth the issue is still doubtful between
Congressman Linton and Ferdinand Backer.
KENTUCKY.
McKinley Has a Plurality on Conceded
Estimates of Delayed Counties.
Louisville , Ky. , Nov. 5. At 8 o'clock this
morning Kentucky seemed safe for McKin-
lej- . Counties not beard from then were :
Leslie , Floyd , Johnson , Knott , Magumn ,
Pike , Butler. Greenup , Harrison. Jackson ,
Owen and part of Henry. These include
strong Republican as well as strong silver
counties , but the heavy Republican gains
everywhere seem to make the state safe for
McKinley , though the result may be close.
Taking the estimate of the missing counties
made several days ago by Chairman Sum
mers of the Democratic committee , the Mc
Kinley majority of the missing vote is 1,233.
This would give the state to MTC ti'eb -
4,744. This is the Democratic estimates ot
the missing counties. The Democrats
elected six out of eleven congressmen.
ILLINOIS.
The Republicans Swept Illinois by Over
One Hundred Thousand.
Chicago , Nov. 5. Returns from the state
indicate that McKinley has won by 125,000
and Tanner bv 25,000 less , and the Repub
licans will have a large majority in both
houses of the legislature which will elect a
United States senator this winter .to succeed
John M. Palmer.
The indications-point to the return of Re
publican congressmen in all districts in the
state except the Sixteenth , Eighteenth.
Twentieth and Nineteenth. The last named
district is still doubtful , both parties claim
ing it. The Chicago congressional delega
tion will be solidly Republican.
In this citv out of a total of 343.703 votes
William Mckinley received 201,434 and W.
J. Bryan 142,274. giving McKinley a plural
ity of 57,339 votes.
MINNESOTA.
'
Porty Thousand for McKinley and the
Entire State Ticket.
"
St.Patl.Nov. 5 Five nundredand fifteen
of the 2,100 precincts in Minnesota had been
heard from at noon to-day , giving McKinley
70,184 to 43,824 for Bryan. ' There seems no
reason to change last night's figures of 40 , -
000 majority for McKinley and the entire
100,000 In Wisconsin.
Chicago , Nov. 5. G. W. Peck of Milwaukee
Wis. , wired the Associated press as follows
this morning : "McKinley has carried Wis
consin by a comfortable majority. Schofielc
for governor will no doubt pull through verj
close to McKinley. Both of them and everj
other Republican I have heard from wil
have a majority enough to be considered
safe , say 100,000 or along there somewhere.
They have seemed to draw largely from the
so-calld silent vote.which is not particularlj
silent at this hour. In other respects we are
quite well , thank j-ou. When you are going
to have any more elections 3-ou should send
us an invitation.
121,000 in Massachusetts.
Boston , Nov. 5. McKinley's majority in
Massachusetts is 124.000. The Republican
candidates for President and governor car
ried every city and town for the first time in
the history of the state. The Congressional
delegation is unchanged twelve Republic
ans and one Democrat the latter the only
one in New England. The gold vote was
about three per cent There was little dif
ference between Bryan and Williams. The
vote on the biennial amendments is very
close. The legislature is more strongly Re
publican than ever.
CS.000 for McKinley in New Jersey.
Trenton , N. J. , Nov. 5. Revised returns
give McKinley a plurality of 68,000 in New
Jersey. The Republicans have elected seven
Congressmen sure and the result in the Sev
enth district , between Young , Lam and Mc-
Ewan , Republicans , is in doubt The state
lagislature will probably stand : Assembly-
Republicans , 44 or 45 ; Democrats , 15 or 16 ;
senate Republicans , 18 ; Democrats , 3.
Three and perhaps four of the twenty-one
counties have gone Democratic. The Pal
mer and Buckner vote is lighter than was ex
pected.
California 5,000 Republican ,
San Francisco. Nov. 5. California has
Joined the East in the McKinley landslide ,
and its majority for the"Republican stand
ard bearer will reach 5,000 at least Great
interest is centered on the congressional
ticket Outside of this city only one Demo
cratic representative seems to have been
chosen. The legislature has gone with the
general result and may safely be classed as
Republican , thus insuring the return of a
Republican to the United States Senate.
New Hampshire Twenty Thousand.
Concord. N. H. , Nov. 5. New Hamp
shire returns came in very slowly , but each
precinct reported showed a gain for Mc
Kinley , and McKinley's plurality totalled
20,000. The Palmer and Buckner ballot was
very light an'd out of a total poll of 90,000
is not expected to exceed 5,000. Ramsdell ,
for governor ran behind the McKinley elec
tors , but he will have the largest plurality
ever given a Eepublican governor in New
Hampshire. The legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican.
Delaware.
Wilmington. Del. , Nov. 5. Returns from
Delaware are still incomplete in detail , but
enough is known to accurately state the re
sult McKinley carries the state by 1.500 to
2,000 majority. He may lose one elector ,
lames G. Shaw , Sr. , whose name was printed

COLORADO ALMOST SOLID

Denver , Nov. 5. Scattering returns re

carried Colorado by over 100,000 plurality ir
a total vote of about 175,000. No effort has
yet been made to tabulate the returns.
The Democratic-Silver Eepublican fusior

Georgia Stands by Bryan and Sewall.
Atlanta. Ga. , Nov. 5. Returns from va

KANSAS FOR FUSIONISTS.
They Carry the State by About 10.00C
aiajority.
Topeea , Kan. , Nov. 5. Br3-an and the fu
sion state ticket have carried Kansas by a
majority that may be anj-wherc from 8,000
to 15,000.
At Republican headquarters the hope is
still held out that Merrill and the rest of the
state ticket majbe saved , butr they back it
with uncertain figures. It is a fact that the
returns so far received put Merrill slightly
in the lead of Leedy , but from the outset
! these returns have shown a steady Repub-
1 lican loss from the vote of 1892 , when the
! fusionists won the state by 5,000 majority.
[ To illustrate : At 11 o'clock complete re
turns had been received from 214 precincts ,
giving Merrill 18.579 ; Leedy , 16,043. This
shows a Republican los3 in the same pre
cincts on the vote on governor in 1892 of
1,000 and a fusion gain of 250.
These figures represent about one-ninth of
the total vote of the state and the same ratio
of loss and gain kept up to the end would
give the state to Leedy by 12,000 or 15,000.
Briedenthal claims that these returns do not
f airl- represent the fusion gains , as they are
from Western precincts where the popula
tion has become so sparse that the fusion
speakers had little room to make converts.
The same 214 precincts give McKinley 18 , -
749 : Bryan , 18,023. This indicates a lead of
1.385 by Bryan over Leedy , but an analysis
and comparison of the returns develops the
probable fact that some , evidently a ma
jority , of the judges of election have either
counted the Bryan and Watson vote for
Bryan or thrown it out entirely. This fact
coupled with the expectation that Leedy
would run somewhat behind Bryan , ac
counts for Bryan's strong lead over Leedy
in one-ninth of the total vote of the state
heard from. This is the judgment of R. M.
Fulton , who has been tabulatfng election
returns in Kansas since 1890.
In the returns from 226 precincts only 174
votes for Bryan and Watson , 40 for Palmer ,
and 42 for the Prohibition tickets are re
ported. ,
Chairman Simpson -end Secretary 3ristow
refuse to give out anything but the exact
count of precincts. Tne fusion chairmen
are not tabulating the returns in such detail.
They accept the statements of majorities
telegraphed \ > y their county committeemen
and have reports of the majorities for gov
ernor in thirty-five counties as follows :
For Leedy Bourbon 300 , Butler 300 , Clay
300 , Decatur 400 , Edwards 100 , Ford 40
Franklin 300 , Hamilton 35 , Jewell 400King-
man 300 , Linn 200 , Miami , 150 , Mitchell 300.
Montgomery 400 , Neosho 300 , Norton 200 ,
Osage 400 , Ottawa 250 , Pawnee 150 , Pratt
150 , Rooks 175 , Rush 120 , Scott 70. Sedge-
wick 800 , Sherman 125 , Stafford 359 , Sum
ner 400 , Thomas. 150. Trego 35.
For Merrill Allen 150. Douglas 1.100 , Fin
ney 125 , Greeley 60 , Jackson 200 , Riley 150.
On Congressmen , Breidenthal estimates
the resul as follows : First district Broder-
ick. Republican , 2,000 ; Third district Ridg-
Iey , fusion , 3,000 ; Fifth district Vincent
fusion , 1,500 ; Sixth-district , McCormick , fu
sion , 2,500 ; Seventh district Simpson , fu
sion. 3,000. He regards the Second and
Fourth as about a standoff , with the chances
strongly for Petixs , fusion , in the former ,
and for Curtis , Republican , fairly good in
the latter. He has little doubt of the elec
tion of Peters and says Madden -will win over
Curtis if the latter's majority in Shawnee
county falls below 1,500-
In the thirty-five counties Breidenthal has
heard from , he claims the election of 34
members of the house and IS of the senate ,
a total of 52. Out of this total he claims a
gain of 24 from the Republicans over the
same representation in the legislature of
1895. He estimates that the legislature will
stand on joint ballot : Senate : Fusionists
31. Republicans 9 ; house fusionists 77 , Re
publicans 43. Total fusionists. 103 ;
total Republicans. 57 ; fusion , majority ,
on joint ballot. 51. The Republicans are as
little disposed to concede Breidenthal's fig
ures , on the legislature as on the state ticket
but they will make no estimates until they
shaii have received more complete returns.
They are not so hopeful of getting the legis
lature , however , as of carrying the state
ticket.
