A dispatch from New York at mid
night says:
It became evident at a very early
hour that the election of McKiuley
and Itoosuvclt was an assured fact.
The pivotal state of New York lias
gone on unmistakable terms, although
by a reduced majority, for the republi
can candidate. As the count progressed
it only served to confirm this judgment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed a
like condition. Tlio republican plur
ality of 1890 was greatly reduced, but
it was still far too large to be over
come. The count in several of the far west
ern states is usually so deluyed as to
give no indication of the outcome, but
they had ceased to have a determining
effect, and before 10 o'clock the demo
crats had given up the contest and It
was announced Mr. Uryun had gone to
bed and was sound asleep. The whole
story was easily und brieliy toid. The
republican ticket would have a larger
electorlal vote than four years ago, but
in the larger states of the east and
middle west the pluralities had been
greatly reduced.

Republicans claim Nebraska for Me

and wiv that the First, Second, Fourth

congressmen. The returns are from
republican cities, and the result will
not be definitely known until the rural
districts, where the fusion strength is,
are heard from. Two or three days
may be needed to determine the actual
result. Itoth sides claim the state.
The World-Herald stys: Returns from
sixty precincts outside of Douglas
county, well scattered over the state,
give Hryan .'i.lCM, MeKinley 7.030. The

Hryan 5.S07. MeKinley T.O-.M.

about 5,000.
ILLINOIS.
At 1:30 complete returns from tlftecn
counties in the state, and partial re
turns from the others, Including the
full vote, of Chicago, iu Cook county,
indicate a plurality for William Me

cratic state central committee at that
hour conceded the st'ite to MeKinley
by ."0,000. Alschulor. democrat, may be
elected by 10,000.
Returns so far also indicate that the
republicans have lost two, and possi
bly three congressmen lu Chicago, the
most sensational defeat being that of
William Lorimcr, one of the most
prominent members of the Cook coun
