Chairman Washburae of the populist national committee Mas uUo present , a * were al o Senators Teller of Colorado and Tlllman of South Carolina. The first returns received at the < ! emonMc national headquarters were from Timlin. ! . Kan. , and gave a vote of 611 for Br > an and Tl for McKinley The early return * from the eastern states showed republican gains In about ever } Instance But little interest. however , was manifested in the returns from states admittedly republican. The first surprise came from Baltimore , whlcn showed a big majority for McKinley. indi cating that the state had gone republican. Every report from the middle western states was eagerly watched for. and much gratification was expressed at the first re port from Michigan. This was from Gratiot county , giving Bryan SOO plurality. This county gave Hamson a plurality of 1.37C in 152. "We have no reason to lose heart. " said Chairman Jones , after reading the returns from New York and eastern states. "All this early atuft is what we have been expect ing. " The first really bad news began to come in at 7 M p m. on the returns from states south of the "line. " Other early re turns from both Tennessee and Ken tucky showed large republican gains , as did the first returns from Illinois outside of Cook county. Two precincts in Bloomington. the home of Vice President Stevenson , gave McKinley iOO plurality. The returns from Michigan , however , were more encouraging. At S 30 p oi. Chairman Campau claimed the state bv 25.0W. At 9 p. m. Chairman Campau of the cam paign committee expressed great confidence la the result. "Returns from Ohio. Mlchl- I Ban and Indiana look very well for us. " said he. "etpeclally from the two former States. The onlv thin ? that uo are iir. prised at ao far is the returns from Illinois outside of Cook county. These seem to in dicate that the state has gone for McKinley. The returns from Baltimore look rather bad. but we expected early return * to be unfavprable. Nothiug definite will be known before midnight. " At 9 13 Secretary Nelson of the democratic state central committee had received no re ports from county chairmen. Prea re- porta indicate a majority of 50.000 for Mc- hKlncy ! in Cook county , and this * as sen- erally coacedrd fcy the committee.

Secretary Netoon says he will concede nothing until he ha * recelv d reports from his own chair men , and these are not exported before raid- night. At midnight Chairman Jones gave out the following statement"There Is no founda- tlon for the claims of the republicans. There Is at this time , midnight , no reason to think that any one of the stales claimed by me for Bryan has failed to vote for him.

He was not yet ready , how ever , to express his own1 judgment on the result. although It was evident that he shared the general feellniaot confidence that he had carried the day. * Another dispatch to Mr. 'McKinley gave the estimate of Dr Jamison , chairman of the republican committee 'of Illinois , as follows "Our reports up to the present time ( S 40) indicate thst u-o will run over IGO.O'iO for MeKlnley and Tanner.

AH last night the principal streets of the- city contained a howling ma of people , who cheered and tooted thousand * of tin horss as sews of the result ot the count progressed and was announced. The Bee , as usual , had erected a large can vas upon which were thrown the bulletins i as they came In over the telegraph wires ' A powerful lime light was brought Into play and as news of republican majorities * as > received the thousands of people who had gathered about The Bee building cheered until - til they were hoarse. Whea the picture of .Major McKinley was displayed the enthusl- aeta knew ao bounds , aad the din that aroie might have tn-ea heard for miles around. The World-Herald displayed returas by the aid of a stcreoptlcon. but the result was not satisfactory , owing to the fact that the operator was unable to get a foeus that would bring out the figures with aay degree of distinctness. Down at the office of the Postal Telegraph company a etertoptlcon was la use aad an other large crowd gathered around the corner. The telephone company grouped Its tele phones and supplied Us patrons with the election results while they sat In their homes. Early yesterday moraine the Bryanltes marshaled their forces for the Sht. going upon the theory that victory nas to porch upon their banner In this city At noon they felt sure that their candidate would win out by a good-sized plurality , but early In the afternoon they gav < up the Aght and In many of the wards pulled off their bustlers and sent them home. Soon after this the carriages that had beea hired to haul voters ta the polls were driven to th * > stables anj the neld was abandoned com pletely , being left In charge of the McKin ley forces and the sound money demo raa. Men who bad bet their money on Bryan made a desperate attempt to get In out of the wet by hedging that their favorite would carry Alabama or some southern state that the republicans neter claimed. BRYANITES LEAVE THE FIELD. When the polls clued it 6 o'clock there was scarcely a polling place In the city where a Bryan man could be found , yet everywhere the republicans were In high spirits. They felt that they had scored a victory , aad that while they had rolled up a. grand vote for the nominees on the na tional ticket , they had doue the tame for the state ticket and had l * ed nearly. If not quite , every man on the legislative , county and state ticket So far as the rfctult ts concerned it ao * leeks as though tha comi'leicd count would give the entire republican ticket tn this county a plurality ot SAO to 1 Ooa Tte Indications are that Mvreer b&s ctr- rtt-d the county by I,9W over DutSoAim a chance thst another 500 ma } be added to bis plurality.
