RETURNS STILL COMING IN
They Indicate that
Large Majority in
BOTH PARTIES CONCEDE NEBRASKA TO HIM
But on the Governorship There is a Counter Claim
That It Will Take Official Figures to Deter
mineLate Returns From All Sections.
NEIftASKA.
The Omaha Bee says: The result in
Nebraska, so far as the vote on presi
dent is concerned, is beyond specula
tion or Question. McKinley has car
ried the state by a majority of over
7,000. The Bee presents tabulated re
turns from all but ten of the ninety
counties in 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 plur
ality of 1.763 and if they give a corre
sponding verdict this year the repub
lican plurality will ge 6,7tf4. There is
no reason to doubt that the falling off
in the fusion vote in these counties
will be as great as in the ones report
ed. In this event the plurality will go
above the 7.0C0 mark. The Bee feels
justified by the returns in claiming the
election of Dietrich for governor by at
least 1.000 and the probabilities are
that the plurality will be nearer twice
that figure. In the seventy-two coun
ties reported he has a plurality of 2,
359. The missing counties two years
ago gave Poynter a plurality of only
l.S9 and if they should vote the same
this year It would still leave a plural
ity of S10 for Dietrich. Tne gains
made elsewhere, taken in 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 1,600 less
than his plurality of two years ago.
These counties give Poynter 90,180 and
Dietrich 89,219. These same counties
in 1S9S gave Poynter 75,848 and Hay
ward 73.6S7. 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
evident. Poynter's plurality two years
ago was 2.721 and as his loss this year
caa 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
seven counties give Bryan 95.053 and
McKinley 99.913. Four years ago these
counties gave Bryan 96,579 and Mc
Kinley S5.107. The state ticket seems
to" be running right up with 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. 8. Fusionists
at populist headquarters In Lincoln
are feeling more ieerful 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 onlcial re
turns from several 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 staff
that Poynter and the balance of the
state ticket are safely elected by ma
jorities ranging from 1.000 to 2000.
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 state senator and eight and
possibly nine cf 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.
McCoy. Mead. Mullen. Rohwer. Uhl
and Wilcox, republicans, for represen
tatives, and the others so close that
the official canvass may be required to
determine between them.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BOSTON, Nov. 7. The vote of Mas
sachusetts, returns having been re
ceived from every city and town, is as
follows:
McKinley. 239,495; Bryan, 156.507.
Vote for governor: Crane, 219.920:
Payne. 121,155. The senate cf 1901
will stand thirty-one republicans and
eight democrats, while the house will
be 178 republicans, fifty-nine demo
crats and two social democrats.
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
sembly, and the re-election of Mar
tin, democrat, to the senate, the latter
by 90 plurality. The next legislature
will stand, as follows: Senate,, republi
cans. 17; democrats. 14; assembly, re
publicans. 45; democrats. 15.
GEORGIA.
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 7. Returns
from every district in this state show
that two counties are republican. Coffee
and Liberty. The state gives Bryan a
plurality of 40,0001
WAflO.
BOISE. Idaho. Nor. 7. The latest
returns indicate thatNez Perdte cjanty

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. Com
plete returns from 1,574 precincts out
of 2,190 outside of San Francisco give
McKinley. 107,992: Bryan. S1.248. 'ihe
same precincts in 1S3G gave McKinley,
96,367; Bryan, 91, Sal. Owing to the
failure of a few election officers to
make a semi-official report the com
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.
ktNIUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 8 At 1:30
a. m.. with returns from all but sixty
two out of L8S4 precincts in Kentucky
the Courier-Journal puts Bryan's ma
jority at 7.784 and Beckham's at 4,068.
The missing precincts are about even
ly divided between democrats and re
publicans. Governor Beckham at dem
ocratic headquarters said tonight:
"I am absolutely certain that I have
been elected governor by a majority
cf 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 ticket 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.
WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 7. Three
hundred and twenty-eight precincts in
the state of Washington out of 1,037
give McKinley 21,043; Bryan. 15.756.
For governor. Frink (rep.), 17,189;
Rogers (dem.i. 16,972. Congressmen,
Jones (rep.). 16,163; Cuchman (rep.;,
160.79; Ronald (dem.). 11.747; Robert
son (dem.). 11 .316.
The democrats concede the election
of republican presidential electors ind
Congressman Jones. They claim they
have re-elected Governor Rogers and
elected Ronald for congress. Definite
figures on state returns are not obtain
able. 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 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 in favor of the repub
lican. MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE. Md.. Nov. 7. Witfc
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
14.146, 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.
MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Nov. 7. Chairman
Seibert of the democratic state com
mittee stated this afternoon that re
ports in his possession indicated that
the democrats had carried Missouri
by 40,000 and elected thirteen out of
fifteen, congressmen.

RHODE ISLAND
PROVIDENCE. R. L, Nov. 7. Cor
rected unofficial returns from Rhode
Island give McKinley 33,821; Bryan,
19.947; Maloney. 1,383; Woclley, 1.526,
a plurality for McKinley of 13.874 in

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The officii
returns as received are not materially
changing the results and McKinley';
plurality i ; midnight remains approx
imately 145,000 in the state. John B.
Stanchfield, the democratic nominee
for governor, ran ahead of his party s
presidential electors, but Odell'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 As
tor Chanler. who defeated Lemuel E
Quigg two years ago, having declined
a renomination in this district this
year. 'iwo democrats are elected up
the state, W. H. Ryan having been re
turned from one of the Buffalo dis-
tricts and C. A. Pugsley of Westches
ter county succeeding John W. Under
bill, who is also a democrat. The
I Westchester district is part city and
I 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
gain of five. Both houses of the state
legislature are republican by a large
plurality, out a number of the districts
' are close and it may require the official
count to ueciae.
UTAH
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 7.
At 10 o'clock tonight returns are in
from about three-quarters of the pre
cincts in the state. McKinlsy's major
ity is 4,500, Wells, republican for gov
ernor, has a majority of 2,000 and
Sutherland republican for congress,
i leads King by 1,600 majority. The
senate will stand 9 republicans to 9
democrats.
L0UISANA.
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.
RENO, Nev., Nov. 7. Seventy-four
precincts out cf 163 in Nevada give:
Bryan. 4,977; McKinley, 3,307. For

rington (rep.). 3,533. At this rate
Bryan will have a majority of 2,o0l)
and Newlands about 1,800.
EL0RIPA.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 7. The
Bryan electors are elected in this state
by 22,000 majority. Sparjnnaa. and

gress, are re-elected, Sparkman by
14,000 majortiy and Davis by 11,000
majority.

is conceded to Bryan by 45,000.
TEXAS
' HOUSTON. Tex.. Nov! 7. Last
night's estimate of 175,000 majority
for the democratic ticket in Texas is
about correct, as indicated by the re
turns so far received. The omly re
publican congressman from Teras has
been replaced -by a democrat and the
delegation will be solid. Tile one re
publican state senator has beef de
feated and the legislature is composed
entirely of democrats.

tee bad no statement to give out to

said:
"Unofficial returns from eighty-four
j out of eighty-eight C9unties warrant
' the claim of 70,000 for McKinley and
i we elect seventeen of the twenty-one

t about 73,000, or a net gain of about
22,000 over the vote of 1896. The re
I publicans gained in seventy-seven

most of the democratic gains being in

this plurality Philadelphia furnishes
over 125.000 and Allegheny county, in-
, eluding Pittsburg, nearly 50,000. Bryn

IOWA.
DES MOINES, la., Nov. 7. Official
returns from seventy-eight out of
ninety-nine counties in the state give:
McKimley, 242,065; Bryan, 152,348. a
plurality in those coounted of 90,518.
As the remaining counties are known
to have shown good republican gains
it is quite certain that McKinley's plu
rality will be very close ;to 100,000.
Gkainaan Weaver stated tonight- that
1 he sees nc reason to change his esti-
mate of last night that Iowa gives
McKinley between 90,000 and 100,000
i plurality. The congressional delega-
tion will be solidly republican.

NEW YORK. Nov. S. As a result
of messages received at national head
atsarters today by National Commit
teemen J. H. Manley and N. B. Sco.t
frost doubtful points, Mr. Manley lat?
tins afternoon gave out the following
statement-:
"Full returns today leave the situ
ation as it was yesterday. We have
wn by 308 electoral votes. We have
carried every northern state, but Col-
lorado, Nevada and Montana, with ten
votes. We have carried Kentucky,
Maryland, Delaware-aud West Virgin
ia. As we predicted during the entire
campaign, they are attempting to sc
ore the electoral votes in Kentucky
under the power of the Gcebel law. if
they succeed we shall have 295 elec
toral votes. Our candidate for govern
or wires that we have carried Ke..
tucky for the electoral ticket and
elected him oy sver 7,000 majority
Senator Scott in answer to telegrams
inquiring as to the result in Nebraska
submitted the following dispatch fror:
E. Rose water, member of the national
advisory . committee, who is a candi
date for United States senator from
Nebraska:
"Returns from rural districts incom
plete, but no doubt whatever that Mc
Kinley carries Nebraska by not leas
than 3,000. Governorship close, but
prospects favor republicans. Botn
houses of legislature will be republican
by small majority."
ILLINOIS.
CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Returns received
from the state-at-large tonight do not
materially change the political com- J
plexion of the next state legislature.
The probability is that the republicans
wlil have a majority of about twenty
two on joint ballot, which means a re
publican successor 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 probab.lity about
as follows: Senate republicans 34;
democrats 17. House republicans 79,
democrats 74. The present house
republican by ten and the holdover
senators give a republican majority o
eight in the senate and the democrats
figure that with but slight gains they
will be able to have a majority of one
on joint bailot and thus replace Sena
tor Cullom with a democrat.
INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. .7. A plural
ity of anywhere from 27,000 to 32.000
for the republican national ticket, the
election of Colonel W. T. Druoin, re
publican, to th governorship, the elec
tion of the entire state and Mariou
county republican tickets and nine,
perhaps ten, congressmen, is a sum
mary in brief of yesterday's battle at
the polls in Indiana. An unpected de-.
velopment is the fact that the repub-ttea&s-made
their strongest gains m
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 figures from several
strong republicans counties.

said the stupendous majorities were a
surprise to everybody, republicans no
less than democrats.
KANSAS.
TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 7. On the
basis of the limited returns from the
state, the republicans claim Kansas o
25,000 for the national ticket and -20,-000
for the state ticket; the election oi
every republican congressman with .he
possible exception of the Third dis
trict. Republicans claim the legisla
ture by a safe majority on joint bal
lot, insuring the election of a United
States 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.
Wipperman, democrat, for governor,
runs ahead of his ticket, but it seems
probable that Major While, republi
can, will pull through for that office.
MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, Nov. 7. Returns from
the state up to 12 o'clock tonight
give President McKinley a plurality
of 90,858 and A. f . Bliss, republican
candidate for governor, 69.059. Colouel
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 figures. Mc
Kinley's large majority seems to rath
er increase than decrease as the full
returns come in. All the republican
state candidates, the seven congres
men and a large majority of the repre
sentatives are elected by big figures.
Chairman Bixby adheres to his claim
of 10,000 to 12,000 for Van Sant, re
publican, for governor, and Democratic
Chairman Rosing has come down f
5,000 as hi3 claim for the re-election of 1
Governor.
NEW HAMrSHIRE.
MANCHESTER, N. H-, Nov. 7. The
republican majority in the state on
both the state and national tickets will
be about 18.000. Every county was
carried by the republicans. The legis
lature is republican by a slightly lar-
i ger majority than two yeats ago.

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 was a surprise to our opponents
as well as these who supported our
ticket. It is impossible to analyze the
returns until they are more complete,
but speaking generally, we seem to
have gained in the large cities and to
have lost 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
this gave them a considerable advan
tage. We have no way of knowing at
this time how much money was spent
in the purchase of votes and coloni
zation. But while these would account
for some of the republican ga!ns. they
would not account for the widespread
Increase in the- repaUlicia-vote. Th
prosperity argument was probably the
j most potent one used by the republi
cans.
"Thev comoared uresent conditions
I .;,u .u ..:.. .: -a-? nr,A Q nnrt
this argument had weight with those
who did not stop to consider the rea
sons of the cuange. The appeal, 'stand
by the president wnile the war is on'
had a great deal cf influence among
these who did not realize that a war
against the doctrine of self-government
in the Philippines must react upon us
in this country.
"We nave made an honest fight on
an honest platform, and having dons
cur duty as we saw it, we have nothing
to regret We are defeated, but not
discouraged. The fight must go ou.
I am sure that the republican policies
will be repudiated by the people when
the tendency of these policies is fully
understood. The contest between plu
tocracy and democracy cannot end
until one or the other is completely tri
umphant." CHAIRMAN BASCOCK'S ESTIMATE.

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

awaited before the measure will be
brought before the French chamber.
