They Indicate that fficKinley Will Have a
Large Majority in the Electoral College.
BOTH PART5ES CONCEDE NEBRASKA
But on the Governorship There is a Counter Claim ,
That It Will Take Official Figures to Deter
mine-Late Returns From AH Sections.
NEBRASKA.
The Omaha Bee says : The result in.
Nebraska , so far as the vote on presi
dent is concerned , is beyond specula
tion or question. McKinlcy has car
ried the Htate by a majority of over
7,000. The Bee presents tnbu'ated re
turns from all but ten of the ninety
counties iu the state. In the counties
reported the republican electors have
a plurality of 8,993. The missing coun-
ties four years ago gave Bryan a pluri
allty of 1,763 and if they give a corre-j
spending verdict this year the repubsi
lican plurality will ge G,7l)4. ) There is
no reason to doubt that the falling off
in the fusion vote in these counties
v/ill be as great as in the ones report
ed. In this event the plurality will go
above the 7,000 mark. The Bee feels
justified by the returns in claiming the
election of Dietrich fcr governor by at
least 1,000 and the probabilities are
that the plurality will be nearer twice
that figure ; In the seventy-two couu-
ties reported he has a plurality of 2-
JI99. The missing counties two years
u ago gave Poyuter a plurality of only
| i < 1.89 and if they should vote the same
this year it would still leave a plurality -
ity of 810 for Dietrich. The gains
made elsewhere , taken iu connection
with the incomplete returns from the
missing counties , warrant the belief
that this plurality will be materially
added -to. "
The World-Herald says : "Complete
returns from sixty-seven of the nine
ty counties in the state indicate the
re-election of Governor Poynter by a
plurality of 1,100 , or about 1COO less
than his plurality of two years ago.
These counties give Poynter 90,180 and
Dietrich 89,219. Thesu same counties
fn 1898 gave Poynter 7i > ,848 and Hay-
\rard 73,087. This comparison shows a
net loss of 1,300. and it covers about
three-fourths of the vote of the state.
That Poynter cannot be defeated un-
less there is a larger percentage of
loss in the remaining coounties than in
those that have already reported is
" vident. Poynter's plurality two years
"o was 2,721 and as his loss this year
can hardly exceed 1,700. according to
the returns received , his plurality can
be looked for to remain above the 1.000
mark. The later returns indicate that
McKinley carried Nebraska by 5,000
plurality. Complete returns from sixty-
ueven counties give Bryan 95.053 and
McKinley 9f > ,913. Four years ago these
counties gave Bryan 5)0,579 ) and Mc
Kinley 85,107. The state ticket seems
to be running right up wirh the gov
ernor , and some of the candidate will
probably receive a larger plurality
than that indicated for Poynter. The
returns also show that Deitrich was
cut in many localities and in a num
ber of counties runs twentv or more
behind his ticket. " [ |
LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. S. Fusiouists '
at populist headquarters in Lincoln '
are feeling more 'jeerful at a late
hour tonight than they have any time
since yesterday noon. Unofficial re
turns that came in yesterday and this
morning were so discouraging that
they indicated the defeat of Governor
Poynter and the state ticket by from
300 to 500 majority. But otticial re
turns fronuseveral counties that have
been received this afternoon and to
night show an almost uniform gain for
Poynter and loss for Deitrich over
the unofficial returns. It is now be
lieved by even the most conservative
members of Chairman Edmisten's staif
that Poynter and the balance of the
state ticket are safely elected by ma
jorities ranging from 1,000 to 2,000.
Omaha Bee : The Bee's returns on
legislative delegation from Douglas
county indicate the election of two , if
not all three , of the republican candi
dates for slate senator and eight and
possibly nine of the republican can
didates for the house. The returns
compiled by the county clerk show
the safe election of Baldrige , republi
can for senator , and Buresh. Corneer , st
McCoy , Mead , Mullen. Rohwer , Uhl ti
-and Wilcox , republicans , for repre en- 1
: tative.s , and the others so close that K1i

BOSTON , Nov. 7 : The vote of Mas w

follows :
IMcKinley. 239,495 ; Bryan , 156.507.
Vote for governor : Crane , 219,920 ;

NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON , N. J. , Nov. 7. Latest
returns from the different counties in
the state indicate that McKinley's plu
rality is 55,000. The official county
canvass will be made on Friday. Cor
rected" returns from Sussex show the
election of Roe. republican , to the as

by'90 plurality. The next legislature
will stand as follows : Senate , republi

CALIFORNIA.
SAN FRANCISCO , Ca. , Nov. 7.
The majority for McKinley in Califor
nia continues to grow and the indica
tions are that it will reach 40,000. Complete -
plete returns from 1,574'precincts out
of 2,190 outside of San Francisco give
McKinley. 107,992 ; Bryan , 81,248. 'J he
same precincts in 1896 gave McKinley.
96,367 , ; Bryan , 91,801. Owing to the
failure of a few election officers to
j make a semi-official report the coin-
i plete ; figures in San Francisco cannot
) be ascertained at present , but it is
safe to say that the republican pres
idential electors have carried the city
by 8,000 or 10,000. The republicans
have elected all seven congressmen.
The legislature is republican by a ma
jority of twenty-six.
KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Nov. 8. At 3:30.
a. m. , with returns from all but sixty-
two out of J.8S4 precincts in Kentucky
the . Courier-Journal puts Bryan's ma
jority at 7,784 and Beckham's at 4,008.
The missing precincts are about even
ly divided between democrats and re
publicans. J l Governor Beckham at dem
ocratic headquarters said tonight :
"I am absolutely certain thai I have
been elected governor by a majority
of between 5,000 and 10,000 votes. "
Leslie Combs , chairman of the repub
lican state campaign committee , said :
'We still believe that Mr. Yerkes
has been elected by a majority of 3,000
votes. Our figures show that McKin
ley has run 900 votes behind Yerkes. "
MONTANA.
HELENA , Mont. , Nov. 7. Fuller re
turns of yesterday's voting in this
state confirm tne preliminary esti
mates sent out last night. Bryan's
plurality will be from 15,000 to 18,000
and ] Governor Toole leads the demo
cratic state ticke with from 7.000 to
8,000 votes to spare. The legislature ,
which will elect two United. States
senators , is democratic from fifteen to
twenty votes on joint ballot and will
undoubtedly ] re-elect Senator William
A. Clark , and some other democrat or
populist to succeed Thomas C. Carter
and fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Senator Clark last session.
WASIMGTON
SEATTLE , Wash. , Nov. 7. Tnree
hundred and twenty-eight precincts in
the state of Washington out of 1,037

Congressman Jones. They claim they
have re-elected Governor Rogers and
elected Ronald for congress. Definite

BELAVVARE.
WILMINGTON , Del. , Nov. 7. The
returns received this afternoon defi
nitely determined the political division
of the next Delaware legislature. It
is republican in each branch and will
probably elect two
United States sen
ators of that party. In the Twelfth
representative district the vote for
representative was a tie between Bay
ard Heisel. democrat , and Theodore
F. Clark , republican. The house will
resolve the tie iu favor of the repub
lican.
MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE , Md. , Nov. 7. With
scattering precincts in various coun
ties of the state to hear from , Mary
land's plurality for McKinley and
Roosevelt in yesterday's election was
14,140 - , with a probability that the
official count will swell the' total to
15,000 or more. Besides placing Mary
land's eight electoral votes in the Mc
Kinley column a solid republican del
egation to the Fifty-seventh congress
was elected.

NEW YORK , Nov. 7. The officia1
returns as received are not materially
changing the results and McKinley'j
plurality r ; midnight remains approx ,
imately 145,000 in the state. John B. t
Stanchfield , the democratic nominee 1
for governor , ran ahead of his party s !
presidential electors , but Odeil's plur !
ality still remains about 100,000.
It seems probable that the congres
sional delegation from New York state
will remain as indicated in the earlier
reports. Long Island. Brooklyn in
cluded , divides its congressional even
ly , three republicans and three demo
crats , a republican gain of three. On
Manhattan island the republicans
elected on.y one member of congress ,
William H. H. Douglass having de
feated J. S. Hill , Captain William Astor -
tor Clianler , who defeated Lemuel E |
Quigg two years ago , having declined '
a renomination in this district this
year. Two democrats are elected up
the state. W. II. Ryan having been re
turned from one of the Buffalo dis
tricts an < l C. A. Pugsley of Westches-
ter county succeeding John W. Under
bill , who is also a democrat. The
Westchester district is part city and i
part country , tince it includes within
its boundaries a portion of the borough 1
of the Bronx of Greater New York.
This makes the congressional delega
tion stand twenty-one republicans
and twelve democrats , a republican
gain of five. Both houses of the state I
!
legislature are republican by a. large j
plurality , out a number of the districts
are close and it may require the official (
count to decide.
UTAH
SALT LAKE CITY , Utah. Nov. 7.
At 10 o'clock tonight returns are iii
from about three-quarters of the pre

ity is 4,500 , Wells , republican for gov
ernor , has a majority of 2,000 and
Sutherland republican for congress ,
leads King by 1,600 majority. The
senate will stand 9 republicans to 9
democrats.
LOUI5ANA.
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 7. Additional
,
election returns confirm the Associ
ated Press reports of last night. About
22,500 votes were cast in New Orleans
out of a registration of 41,403. Bryan's
majority being 13,400. The entire six
congressional districts in the state are
strongly democratic.
NEVADA.

missing counties makes the plurality
about 73,000. or a net gain of about

tion of the entire state and Marion
county republican tickets and nine ,

mary in brief of yesterday's battle at
the polls in Indiana. An unpected de-
velopmeni is the fact 'that the repub

democratic strongholds. In seven
heretofore strongly democratic coun
ties McKinley and the state ticket
showed a greater ratio of gain than
was shown by the figures from several
strong republicans counties.

but speaking generally , we seem to

"The republicans were able to se

this time how much money was spent
in the purchase of votes and coloni

for some of the republican gains , tney
would not account for the widespreau

prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the republi

"They compared present conditions
with the panic times of ' 93 and ' 96 , and
this argument had weight with those
who did not stop to consider the rea

Hitclu-ock's Tribute to McKinley.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 8. Secreturr
Hitchcock , who returned today from
Missouri , expressed his views on the
election as follows :
"The American people have but in a
few instances elected a president to
succeed , himself and President McKin
ley's overwhelming endorsement by
the people of both parties is according
ly all the more gratifying. His elec
tion is a personal triumph an
; expres
sion of the '
people's absolute reaper t
and admiration for and implicit con
fidence in his personal character and
the conviction that , judging by his
past administration , the nation's hoao.-
ami the people's interests could not be
committed to safer or wiser direction
the future. "
