lan of the republican state committee has
complete returns from 94 counties and

FUSION WINS IN NEBRASKA
Triple Alliance Carries the State by
500O to 20000
Lincoln Nov 3 Nebraska republicans
find nothing but gloom in the survey ol
the state field For twenty four hours
after the closing of the polls yesterday
evening returns during the day and early
evening simply confirmed what was evi
dent at midnight last night that the fusion
state ticket had been elected by a plural
ity fully as large as that given Bryan last
year if not larger
Early in the afternoon it was generally
admitted at republican headquarters that
the state was lost and Secretary Sizer oi
the state committee emphasized the com
mon belief at 9 oclock tonight when he
authorized the following statement to be
made
Returns thus far received by the re
publican state committee point to the elec
tion of Sullivan fusion for supreme judge
by a plurality of 5000 to 10000 Returns
show that republican candidates for regent
of the university ran ahead of Post for
judge and we will not yet concede their
defeat
Chairman Edmiston of the fusion com
mittee said he had no reason to change his
estimate of last night of 20000 plurality
for the entire fusion ticket
Neither of the political headquarters had
returns today or tonight in any quantity
and their estimates were in a measure sur
mises
Newspaper returns up to 10 oclock to
night comprised 31 counties complete and
4 incomplete Every populous county but
2 of these 35 show a fusion gain warrant
ing the declaration that fusion has carried
in the state by 12000
Omaha Nov 3 At midnight returns
have been received from forty six of the
eighty eight counties of Nebraska casting
more than half of the vote of the state
These give Post 53748 Sullivan 60183
Last year the same counties gave McCall
61457 Holcomb 74648
Loyalty in England
A British journal tells a queer story
connected with the Queens jubilee
A Londoner was reproaching the
owner of a house on the route of the
great procession with having let it for
the day to a citizen of the United
States
It is disgraceful he said indignant
ly The Queen graciously offers to
show- herself to a certain number of her
London subjects and they promptly lek
their windows and go to another part
of the town It is disloyal 1
Disloyal replied the house letter
Just the contrary We do it for the
purpose of having as many portraits of
our sovereign as possible and all ia
gold
To be popular with some people all
that Is necessary is to say ThanH
you in 3 very loud voice

New York City- Bnshnell and His

Fight Shaw in Iowa Is Given
About 25000 Plurality Democrats
Have Maryland Virginia Ken
tucky Nebraska Colorado for Silver
The elections held in the year immedi
ately following a presidential contest are
almost invariably marked by a lack Of in
terest and the chief feature of the contests
in the various States Tuesday was the
apathy manifested by the electors There
is a falling off in the vote of both parties
and while the Democrats show relative
gains when compared with the phenome
nal presidential vote of last year the stay-at-home
vote is made of nearly an equal
percentage of both parties
Though the elections were for the most
part for offices of little national impor
tance the result was awaited with con
siderable interest In Ohio Virginia
Iowa Pennsylvania Kentucky New
-York Nebraska and Massachusetts the
fight waged fiercely Ohio and Iowa elect
ed Governors In Maryland and Ohio a
special national interest was involved on
account of a United States Senator
ttOBERT A VAN WYCK
Chosen Mayor of Greater New York
ing to be elected from each of those
States Great interest attached in Ohio
Maryland and New York In Ohio the
Democrats endorsed the Chicago plat
form and the silver forces contended for
the establishment of their doctrine and
the election of a Senator The Republi
cans made a fight for the present gold
standard for Republican principles and
for the election of Mark Hanna to the
Senate In Maryland the important fight
was over the senatorship In New York
where interest centered almost solely in
the Greater New York mayoralty fight
the situation was badly mixed The Dem
ocrats were divided into silver and gold
factions Tammanyites and
The Repubiicans had to con
tend with a division of their forces on
account of the independent nomination of
the Citizens Union in New York City
and with a small fragment of the anti
Platt Republicans Then the dramatic
death and the funeral of Henry George
the nominee of the Democracy of Thomas
Jefferson and author of Progress and
Poverty on the eve of the election an
unprecedented event in the political his
tory of the country if not of the world
and the selection of his son Henry George
as his political heir brought ahout com
plications which had never before been
encountered in a municipal campaign In
Iowa very important local considerations
entered into the fight The Democrats in
addition to making a fight on the other
Bryan lines attacked the record of the
Republican State officers accusing them
of extravagance etc and a hard fight was
made by both parties In Nebraska the
Democrats Populists and silver Republi
cans were united In Kentucky it was a
struggle between Blackburn and the Carlisle-Lindsay
gold Democrats In Penn
sylvania there was a fight between the
Quay and the anti Quay elements in the
Republican ranks In Virginia the Re
publicans had no regular ticket and Dem
ocrats will elect a Governor In Colorado
there was a great mix up among the sil
ver forces
New York
The State of New York has reversed a
plurality of 208409 for McKinley to a
Democratic majority of 84000 for A B
Parker as chief judge of the court of ap
peals The Republicans may also have
lost the Assembly in which last year they
had seventy majority New York City
has elected Robert G Van Wyck the
Tammany candidate as Mayor by a
plurality of 82000 Setli Low the Citi
zens Union nominee finished second in
the race while General Benjamin F
Tracy Republican and Henry George
Jeffersonian Democrat follow in the or
der named
In the State the Republican landslides
of the past two years have been reversed
by the changing of something like 240000
votes Gov Blacks plurality last year
was over 200000 John Palmer the Re
publican Secretary of State won the year
previous by over 100000 The indications
are that these enormous pluralities have
been swept away and a reverse plurality
of between 30000 and 50000 is given
The greatest surprises of the returns are
the great gains made in the Assembly by
the Democrats many of them being in
counties and districts where there was no
expectation on the part of the Democratic
managers of winning Republicans ex
plain these gains by attributing them to
the heated municipal campaigns and the
trading of votes Early returns indicated
that the Republicans will still control the
Assembly by a largely decreased majority
More surprising perhaps than the re
turns on the State and Assembly district
tickets were results of the riunicipal cam
paigns in the large cities New York
Buffalo Rochester Binghamton Syra
misp TItiea Albany Troy and
i tady elected Democratic Mayors In Al
bany the conditions were very simuar xo
those in New York Two Republican can
didates split up the vote of that party and
allowed the Democrats to win The com
bined Republican vote was 2000 in excess
of the Democratic vote
In New York City such a rush to the
polls has never been known except in pres
idential years The registration was ab
normal The total of 567256 was only
ASA S BUSHNELI
Republican Claimant of the Ohio Gubernatorial
Offlce
11452 behind that of 1896 Last year
only 6G6 per cent failed to vote for Pres
ident and the estimated total vote this
year of 528000 shows that the faUing off
does not much exceed that of 1896 The
vote for Tracy the Republican mayoralty
candidate was divided by the candidacy
of Seth Low upon a Citizens union ticket
Low was second and Tracy third in the
contest The George vote was inconsid
erable The death of its leader evidently
disintegrated his following and thousands
evidently voted for Tammany candidates
It is claimed that young George lost many
votes through the failure of inspectors to
affix his paster to mayoralty tickets The
inofficial vote for Mayor follows Van
Wyck 235800 Low 149873 Tracy
101833 George 20386 Gleason 521
The vote for Van Wyck is about 4425
per cent of the total vote cast or less than
the 4521 per cent cast for Bryan in 1896
in the same territory The united vote for
Low and Tracy shows 14127 more than
Van Wyck received The metropolitan
district is normally Democratic and the
plurality for Van Wyck is a return to nor
mal conditions in an election not influ
enced by national issues
Ohio
In Ohio the official count will be neces
sary to satisfy the contestants At the
time this is written the more the respec
tive parties figure on their returns the
smaller their pluralities seem to become
while their claims increase in opposite di
rections The closeness of the vote has
caused intense feeling and the usual cry
of fraud When the result was in doubt
in 1S85 it was discovered that the tally
sheets were forged Tuesday night the
Republicans telegraphed to all their coun
ty committees to beware of the frauds of
1885 And when the Republicans were
claiming the Legislature by only one or
two majority on joint ballot the Demo
crats telegraphed their county committees
to beware of all sorts of fraud and to re
member that it was a majority of one by
which the great crime of 1877 was com
mitted that defeated Tilden The State
headquarters will be kept open until the
official counts are made in all of the 8S
counties of the State
Meantime the managers at both the
Democratic and the Republican State
headquarters claim the State The Dem
ocrats claim the election of Chapman for
Governor and their State ticket on such
a close margin that it will require the offi
cial figures to determine the plurality
Chairman McConville claims that the
Democrats will have a majority of seven
in the Legislature on joint ballot for Sen
ator He says the Republicans are claim
ing counties that are doubtful and others
that the Democrats have carried by small
pluralities The Republicans claim that
Bushnell for Governor and the rest of the
Republican State ticket has been elected
by a good 8000 plurality and that the Re
publicans will have a majority of two on
the joint ballot of the Legislature for
Senator The Republicans concede that
they will not have a majority in the State
Senate The Republicans claim 17 of the
36 Senators with IS conceded to the Dem
ocrats and one doubtful They claim that

POSTAL BANKS NEEDED
Indiana Financier Tells Why They
Would Be Popular with the People
At a recent meeting of the Indiana
Bankers Association at Indianapolis
Mortimer Levering of Lafayette recog
nized as one Of the best financiers in In
diana made an address on postal savings
banks in which he said The government
is in a position to manage this thing
through its present postoffice system and
will scarcely increase the expenses of that
department while it will enhance the ac
cumulated wealth of the peoplethrough
out the whole United States It wa3
thought that building and loan associa
tions would care for the savings of the
masses but people have become suspi
cious of them It is well known that law
yers in Indianaare making as much as
10000 a year out of these institutions
and officers are making much money out
of them We all know that trust com
panies are not organized as eleemosynary
institutions We want a system of savings
banks that are for the poor people What
greater pride could a man have than to
think himself a depositor of the United
States
