NEBRASKA.
The Omaha Ileo iitiys : The result In
Nebraska , so far as the vote on presi
dent la concerned , Is beyond speculation
has car
tion or a ofltlo ' McKlnloy
ried' the Btato by a majority of over
7,000. . The lice presents tabulated re
turns from all but ten of the ninety
countlca In the citato. In the counties
loportcd the republican oloctoru have
( i plurality of 8,993. The missing coun-
llos four years ego gave Hryan a plur
ality of 1,703 and If they give a corrc-
Hpnndlng verdict this your the repub
lican plurality will go C.701. There lane
no reason to doubt that the falling off
in the fusion vote In these counties
will bo as greut a In the ones report
ed. In thin ovvnt the plurality will go
nbovo the 7,000 mark. The Uce feels
t .iUHtlfled by the rcturmi In claiming the
' election of Dietrich for governor by at
ioant 1,000 and the probabilities arc
that the plurality will bo nearer twice
.that figure. In the seventy-two coun-
tlcB reported ho 1ms a plurality of L'-
399. The mlaslng counties two years
ago gave Poyntor a plurality ot only
lt 89 and If they should vote the same
this year it would Htlll leave a plural
ity ot 810 for Dietrich. Tno gains
niado elsewhere , taken In connection
with the Incomplete- returns from the
missing counties , warrant the belief
that this plurality will bo materially
added to , "
The World-Herald flays : "Complete
rolurns from alxty-sovcn of the nine
ty counties in the state Indicate the
ro-oloctlon of Governor Poyntor by a
plurality of 1,100 , or about l.GOO less
than bis plurality of two yearn ago
These counties give Poynter 90,180 and
Dietrich 89,219. These name counties
In 1898 gave Poyntor 75,848 and Hay
ward 73,087. This comparison shows a
not loss of 1,300 , and It covers abou
three-fourths of the vote of the state
That Poyntor cannot bo defeated un
less there IB a larger percentage o
IOHS in the remaining coountles than In
those Hint have already reported i
r
.pvldont. Poyntor'a plurality two year
ago v/ay 2,721 and as his loss this yea
i can hardly exceed 1,700 , according t
the rcturnfj rccolvcd , hfs1 plurality ca
bo looked for to remain above the 1,000
mark. The later returns indicate that
McKlnloy carried Nebraska by C.OOO
plurality. Complete rolurns from Blxty-
BOVOII counties glvo Bryan 95,053 and
Mc'lCinloy 99,913. Four years ago these
counties gave Bryan 90,579 and Mo-
Klnloy 85,107. The Btato ticket aeoms
ID ho running rlghjt up with the gov
ernor , and some ot the candidate will
probably rocolvo a larger plurality
than that indicated for Poyntor. The
rolurna also show that Deltrich was
cut in many localities and in a num
ber of counties runs twenty or more
behind hla ticket. "

rurnd' trom several counties that have

; ho Courier-Journal puts Bryan's ma-
lorlty at 7,781 and Bocklmm'a at 4.0GS.
I'lio missing precincts are about cvcn-
y divided between democrats and re

ocratic headquarters said tonight :
" 1 am absolutely certain that I have
leen elected governor by a majority
of between 5,000 and 10,000 voton. "
Leslie Combs , chairman of the repub

MONTANA ,
HELENA , Mont. , Noy. ' 7. Fuller re
turns of yesterday's voting In thla
state confirm tlio preliminary esti

plurality will be from 15,000 to 18,000
and Governor Toole leads the demo
cratic state ticket with from 7.000 to
8,000 votes to spare. The legislature ,
which will elect two United States
senators , Is democratic from llftccn 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.

DELAWARE.
WILMINGTON , Del. , Nov. 7. The
returns received this afternoon defi
nitely determined the political division
of the next Delaware legislature. It
is republican In cadi branch and will
probably elect two United States sen
ators of that party. In the Twelfth

land's plurality for McKinley and
Roosevelt In yesterday's election was
11,140 , with a probability that the

land's eight electoral votes In the Mc-
Klnlcy column a nolld republican del
egation to the Fifty-seventh congress

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK , Nov. 7. The ofllciiv'
returns as received are not materially
changing the results and McKlnlcy'j
plurality : ' . midnight remains approx
imately 1-15,000 In the state. John B.
Stanchfiold , the democratic nominee
for governor , ran ahead of his party s
presidential electors , but Odoll'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 thrco demo
crats , a republican gain ot thros. On
Manhattan Island tha republicans
elected on.y one member of congrc-s ,
William H. H. Douglass having de
feated J. S. Hill , Captain William Astor -
tor Chanler , who defeated Ixjinuel E
Qulgg two years ago , having declined
a rcnominatlon In this district this
year , 'iwo democrats are elected up
the state , W. II. Ryan having been re
turned from one of the Buffalo dis
tricts and C. A. Pugsloy of Westchcs-
ter county succeeding John W. Under
bill , who is also a democrat. Tbo
Westchester district Is part city and
part country , since it includes within
its boundaries a portion of the borough
of the Bronx of Greater New York.
This makes the congressional delega
tion stand twenty-one republicans
and twelve democrats , a republican
aln of live. Both houses of the state
legislature are republican by a large
plurality , out a number of the districts
are close and It may require tbo olflcial
count to decide.

"Unofficial returns from righty-fotii
out of eighty-eight counties warnur
the claim of 70,000 for McKinley and
we elect seventeen of the twenty-one
members of congress , a gain ot two
members. " The estimates on the four
missing counties makes the plurality
about 73,000 , or a net gain of about
22,000 over the vote of 1SJ9U. The re
publicans gained In seventy-seven
counties and the democrats In eleven ,
most of the democratic gains being in

12. Roscwator , member of the national
advisory committee , who is u candi
date for United States senator from
Nebraska :
"Returns from uiral districts Incom
plete , but no doubt whatever that Mc-
Klnley carries Nebraska by not IRSJ

ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO , Nov. 7. Returns reccivoJ
from do not
the statc-at-large tonight
materially change the political com
plexion of the next state legislature.
The probability Is that the republicans
will have u majority of about twenty-
two on joint ballot , which means a re
publican sur-cchsor to Senator Cullom.
It is impossible at this time to give
figures with strong assurances of ac
curacy , but the next Illinois legisla
ture will be in all probability about
as follows : Senate republicans . ' 'A ;
democrats 17. House republicans 70 ,
democrats 74. The present hoimo is
republican by ton and the holdover
senators give a republican majority o
eight in the senate and the democrats
figure that with but alight gains they
will be ublo to have a majority of one
on joint ballot and thus replace Sena
tor Cullom with a democrat.
INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS , Nos' . 7. A plural
ity of anywhere from 127,000 to 32,000
for the republican national tlck c , the
election of Colonel W. T. Drunin , re
publican , to th" governorship , the elec
tion of the entire state and Marlon
county republican tickets r-nd nine ,
perhaps ten , congressmen , IB a sum
mary In brief of yesterday's battle at
the polls In Indiana. An unpccted de
velopment ib the fact that the repub
licans made their strongest gains lit
demooratic strongholds. In seven
heretofore strongly democratic coun
ties McKinley and the state ticket
showed a greater ratio of gain than
was shown by the llgures from several
strong republicans counties.
WISCONSIN
MILWAUKEE , Wis. , Nov. 7. Gen
eral Bryant , chairman of the republi
can state central committee , today re
duced his claims of plurality slightly
from those given out last night , plac
ing his latest estimates at 10G,00 for
both national and state tickets.
Chairman Warren of the democratic
state committee was at bis ofllce today
attending the winding up of the af
fairs of the committee preparatory to
closing headquarters , which he expects
to do before the end of the week.
Speaking of the result In the state , lie
said the stupendous majorities were a
surprise to everybody , republicans no
leas than democrats.
KANSAS.
TOl'EKA , Kan. , Nov. 7. On the
basis of the limited returns from the
state , the republicans claim Kansas oy
25,000 for the national ticicet and 20-
000 for the state ticket ; the election ot
every republican congressman with .he
possible exception of the Third dis
trict. Republicans claim the leslsla-
tnro by a safe majority on joint bal
lot , insuring the election of a United
Statca senator.
NORTH DAKOTA.
FARGO , N. D. , Nov. 7. Returns are
coming in slowly , but those received
seem to Indicate a republican plural
ity over rather than under 10,000 for
McKinley , while the republican state
ticket Is elected by a similar plurality.
Wlpperman , democrat , for governor ,
runti ahead of bin ticket , but it seems
probable that Major White , republi
can , will pull through for that ofllco.
'MICHIGAN.
DETROIT , Nov. 7. Returns from
the state up to 12 o'clock tonight
give President McKinley a plurality
of 90,8ns and A. T. Bliss , republican
cand.dato for governor , 09,059. Colonel
Bliss Is running about 20,000 behind
his ticket and Mayor Maybury , the op
posing democratic candidate , Is a cor
responding number ahead of his ticket.
The legislature is largely republican.
MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Nov. 7. The only
uncertainty In the Minnesota , election
result Is on the governorship , both par
ties claiming it by small llgures. SIc-
Kinley's largo majority seems to rath

LINCOLN , Neb. , Nov. 8. Mr. Bryan
today gave out the following statement \ _ - * -
regarding the election :
"The result was a surprise to me and
the magnitude of the republican vic
tory waa a surprise to our opponoiua
as well na those who supported our
ticket. It Is Impossible to analyze the
retutnu until they arc more complete ,
but speaking generally , we KCCIU to
have gained In the large cities and to
have loat in the smaller cities and In
the country.
"The republicans were able to se
cure tickets and passes for all their
voters who were away from home , and
thlsi gave them a considerable advan
tage. We have no way qf knowing at
this time how much money was spent
In the purchase of votes and coloni
zation. But while these would account
for uome of the republican gains , tney
would not account for the wldcsprcru
Increase In .he republican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably th
most potent one used by the republi
cans.
"They compared present conditions
with the panic times of ' 93 and " 96 , and
this argument had weight with these
who did not stop to consider the rea
sons of the cnange. The appeal , 'stand
by the president while the war Is on'
had a great deal of influence among
those who did not realize that a war
against the doctrine of self-government
in the Philippines must react upon ui
in this country.
"We nave made an honest fight on
an honest platform , and having don'j
qur duty as we saw It , we have nothing
to regret. We are defeated , but not
discouraged. The fight must go on.
I am sure that the republican policies
will be repudiated by the people when
the tendency of these sollc'es Is lully
understood. The contest between plu-
tocraoy and democracy cdnnot one !
until one or tbo other Is completely tri
umphant. "
