The returns from the entire country , although Incomplete In some states , arq of a nature to Insure the election of William McKlnley. A sufficient number of states have declared for the republican party to make certain 2C1 votes In the elec toral college for Its leader. The states whose votes are sure for him are. as follows : Elec toral votes California , 9 ; Connecticut , 6 ; Delaware. 3 ; Illinois , 24rindlana , 15 ; Iowa. 13 ; Maine. G ; Maryland , S ; Massachusetts 15 ; Michigan , 14 ; Minnesota. 9 ; New Hamp shire. 4 ; New Jersey , 10 ; New York , 30 ; North Dakota , 3 ; Ohio. 23 ; Oregon , 4 ; Penn- eylvanla , 32 ; Rhode Island. 4 ; South Dakota , 4 ; Vermont , 4 ; West Virginia. C ; Wlsconeln , 12. Total. 264. The returns show some Interesting fea tures , and In some respects have been a sur prise to the leaders of both political parties. The New England stattti have , as was ex pected , given heavy pluralities for McKln ley. without exception. The republican ticket wa § successful In Massachusetts beyond what was claimed for It by the most en thusiastic prophet of republican success. New York and Pennsylvania vied with each other for the largest plurality and the figures ot hand do not Indicate which of them has surpassed the other. Kach state has Riven tlio republican candidate a plurality of be tween 275,000 and 2SO.OOO. To thccc states Illinois is a good third In its plurality for the winning candidate. It the percentage of gain over the presidential election of 1S92 that has so far Ufen shown continues to the end It will give a plurality of not far from 175,000. In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has been badly defeated , but Is not burled BO deep and Is probably about CO.OOO ahead of the democratic national ticket. There has been evidently a large vote cast throughout the state for McKln ley and Altgold. JONES' CLAIMS NOT JUSTIFIED. In Indiana , If any of the rules for esti mating the vote of a state which prevloua to tbo present election held good are still to be relied upon , there. Is no justification for the democratic claims of having carried tbo state , If the ratio of republican gain continues to the end of the count. McKlnley ivlll have approximately 20,000 plurality In the elate. In Iowa , at far as can bo seen from thr returns at present , the republican plurality tias been very large not far either way from 75.000. ( Ohio , which has all along been claimed by Chairman Joura as a state In which Bryan wovld push McKlnley very close , has given the republican candidate an overwhelming plurality. In Michigan the olectlou has resulted In a Very heavily reduced vote ( or the republican ticket. The free silver papers of Detroit concede the state to McKlnley by 25.000. The last previous vote In the state was In 1S95. when Moore , the republican candidate for juitlco of the supreme court , had a plurality of 71.4S7 over McGrath. his demo cratic rival. West Virginia Is confidently claimed by the republicans , and the chairman of the democratic state central committee this evening conccJcd the state to McKlnley. Tennessee- presents some of the InterestIng - Ing features of the campaign. Patterson , the democratic candidate- congress In the city of Memphis. Is running neck and neck with his opponent , and the , official count will be necessary to decide between them. The state at large Is claimed by both par- tics , and because of the length of the ticket the returns are coming In so slowly that neither side seems entirely justified In claiming the electoral vote with any con fidence. North Carolina Is claimed by both par ties , but , as In Tennessee , the returns are very slow , and no definite conclusion Is pos sible at present. South Carolina. Georgia , Mississippi , Ala bama and Louisiana arc all for Bryan by about the normal democratic majorities. The Virginia electors will without question be for Bryan , but they have been elected by a heavily reduced democratic vote. The re publicans have abandoned all hope of Texas and the state U conceded to Bryan. The fusion between the populists and the repub licans In that state did not prove a success. NEBRASKA ON THE WRONG SIDE. Nebraska has gone for Bryan , notwith standing the republican hopes , but Kansas has as yet said practically nothing. The re turns show democratic gains In some dis tricts , and these are offset by republican gains In other parts of the state. Both parties claim the state , but the few scatter ing district returns that arc In co far are of so Indefinite a nature as to make any claims , no matter by whom made , of a very uncertain character : Wisconsin Is sure for the republican col umn by an enormous plurality. Mlnnesola , which was regarded as doubtful by both parties , has surprised everybody by the size of the republican plurality , and McKlnley will have approximately 30,000 to 40.000 morn votes In the state than Bryan. Gov- ernon Clough , whose election was consid ered doubtful. Is certainly elected. The lat est Information from the two Dakotas shows that North Dakota Is very sure for McKln ley and the probability Is that South Dakota will be found In the same column , although the result Is clone. The republicans claim Wyoming and Washington , but the proba bilities bcem against them In both states. Oregon has gone for McKlnley , and Col orado has. as was expected , given Bryan a heavy plurality and Adams , without doubt , has been elected governor. The Interest In the election In this state centered In the state tickets , of which there were several , representing a great variety of Interests Idaho , Montana , I'tah and Nevada have al gone for Bryan by heavy majorities. Cali fornia has. on the strength of the returns at hand , undoubtedly gone for McKlnley. giving him a plurality of 0.947. One half of the precincts , outside of San Francisco , show a democratic gain of sixty-one votes , showIng - Ing that the democratic reliance upon the heavy support of the rural districts was no1 entirely warranted. Delaware , where thd republican party has been rent In twain because of the Addlcks- Hlggln'e fight , has kept In the republican column. The vote for the republican elec tors In thin elate has been unusually large showing the factional dispute did not ex tend In any great measure to the nattona ticket. The vote of Maryland has shown an Interesting reversal of thei last president ! * election , when Cleveland carried the state by a plurality of 21.1.10 , and this year Me Kloley has a plurality of ellghtly over 21.000 In the city of Baltimore alone. ALA1IA3IA. BIRMINGHAM. Nov. 4. The majority o the Bryan ticket will probably not much exceed 25,000. AHKAXSAS. LITTLE ROCK , Nov. 4. The fusion tlckc ID Arkansas was elected yesterday by a ma Jorlly of from 25,000 to 30.000. Returns from all over the state Indicate that about th iibual vote wafl polled.

It will be several days before all the re turns are In from the back counties. Bu from the figures at hand the democratic ma Jorlty is coi-servatlvely estimated at 25.000 The three populists on the ticket ran abou 2,000 behind the democratic vote , whlcl about represents the gold standard de.ao cratlc strength In the state. CAI.IFOHXIA. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 4. California ha joined the east In the McKlnley landslld and Us majority for the republican standan bearer will reach 6,000 at least. Many o the counties have not yet sent In returns but the more populous and those on , wblcl the fate of the election hinged have.al . been heard from and swell the republican majorities to a point where nothing to com liter can possibly disturb them. Lo Angeles , which was the stronghold In th southern tier of counties , is estimated a giving from 1,200 to 2.000 majority for Me Klnley. The total vote of San Francisco gives Me Klnley 137 plurality ; McKlnley , 31.143 Bryan. 31.00C ; Palmer , 255. Four years ag' ' this city gave Cleveland G.SOO plurality. Chairman McLaughlln of the republican state committee claims S.OOO majority fo McKlnley In the state. Chairman. Alford o the democratic committee docs not conced the state , hoping outside precincts will over come McKlnley's San Francisco vote. The republicans have elected probably fiv of the seven congressmen , Devrls , democrat being elected in the Second district. . an Magulrc , democrat. In the Fourth district The republican congressmen probably electe are : First district. Barbara ; Third , Hllborn Fifth. Loud ; Sixth. McLachfan ; Seventh Bowers. Latest returns from the legislative con test In California Indicate that the rcpub llcans will have nearly two-thirds majorlt. on Joint ballot , the vote standing , as we ! as can bo told now , about 77 republicans an 43 democrats.

At republican and democratic congres sional headquarters tonight the chairmen have been figuring on the complexion of the next house. Chairman Habcock says he has complete reports from 193 congressional dis tricts which have elected republicans ; that there are 135 districts that have elected dem ocrats and populists and twenty-tight die trlcts In which the returns are Incomplete These may all be classed as doubtful , he says , with the prospect that the republlcane will eccure at least one-half of them , whlcl would make a total republican membership of this congress of 257. He claims that ua der no circumstances will the republican membership fall below 200. Senator Faulkner , chairman of the-demo cratlc committee , although he does not concede the republicans a majority In the next house , gives them 17C , within three of a majority. His statement makes toe fol lowing division of forces : Total republican 170 ; total democratic and silver , 1CS : doubt' ful. 12. In the Fifty-fourth congress thi republicans had 241 : democrats and silver had 112.

DEVELOPS INTO A MURDER Tames NcGuire Dies from What Was Thought a Trifline Wound. WAS THE RESULT OF A POLITICAL QUARREL Victim Sii | > poned to He Suffering Chiefly from Intoxication When Taken to tin * Station VH- nllunt Under Arrcnt. Campbell Is a prisoner at the pollco station , charges ! with murder. Campbell Is a colored man , 2S years of age , j and Is a cow-puncher In the employ of Lob- man & Rothschilds at the Union Stock yards , South Omaha. In company with Fos ter Lewis , another colored man , a porter at the Mlllard , Campbell became entangled In a political wrangle with throe young rccn at the corner of Twelfth and Douglas streets , Tuesday night , and striking one of them across the face with a small bellows to which was attached a couple of tin horns , ho killed him. The murdered man was James McGulro , an employe of the Union Pacific shops , and IS years of age. He resided with his par ents at Twenty-fifth and Blonde streets. With McGulro at the tlmo were two other joutha , Slefred Wadum and Henry Castle- ton. ton.All the parties Implicated tell the same story. The three boys were walking down Doug las street , shouting for Bryan , and at the corner of Twelfth they were approached by Campbell and Lewis. The latter walked up to McGulro and asked him what he meant by shouting at him. McGuIre eald ho was attending to his own business. Lewis then said If he repeated the names ho had applied to him he'd take a slash at him , at the same time drawing a knife. McGulre told him If he would put the knife In his pocket ho would punch his head. Lewis said he meant exactly what he said. If Mc- Oulro shouted at him again he'd use his knife. McGulro reiterated that he had been shouting for Bryan and nobody else , and that If Lewis would put up his knlfo he would take a fall out of him. WAS WILLING TO FIGHT. At this Juncture Campbell stepped up and said , "Ma ) bo you can whip me. too. " McGulro said ho could , and Campbell grasped him by the coat collar , then struck him across the right temple with the bel lows. The blow was not a particularly hard one , but It knocked McGulre down. Ho fell head foremost Into the gutter and Campbell and Lewis turned and walked leisurely on down Douglas street , neither man dreaming that a fatal blow had been struck. Wadum and Custleton attempted to pull McGulro to his feet , but noticing that he was unconscious , steadied him back against the curbstone and Into a sitting position. A policeman happened by at this time , and thinking McGuire was drunk , called the wagon acd bad him taken to the station. Ho was not thought to h badly hurt , but alarming symptoms developed after 3 o'clock yesterday morning , and an hour later he died. Foster Lewis was the roan who was first suspected of committing the homicide , and w s arrested at 7 o'clock yesterday morn- Inc. when he told his story , and officers" " were dUpalched to South Omaha , to locate Campbell. They found him at. workaUthc BtocU yards , little dreaming of the plight" he had gotten himself Into. When told that McOuIre was dead ho was greatly shocked , and was at a loss to know how It could be. Ho at once admitted that ho struck McGulre. lie said the blow was a light one and the weapon be used was a mere toy. He said the mat ter occasioned no worry , In fact he did not think of It again , and he continued on down to 1214 Chicago street.where he went to bed. Yesterday morn- Ing1 , after breakfast , he went to South Omaha and to work , never thinking for a moment of the serious situation In which he was soon to be placed. Ho ex pressed deep regret that his thoughtless ectlon had caused the boy's death , and said that It could not have been the blow , but the fall , that killed him. In talking with Campbell at the station yesterday morning Wadum said that he had never been In trouble before , save once , when Officer Hud son arrested him on a charge of stealing a cow. cow.The remains of James McGulre were re moved to the morgue early yesterday morn ing and Coroner Burkct and Dr. Towne ' bo'th made an examination of the wound In the head which caused his death. The blow with the bellows was delivered directly above the car , and was evidently Inflicted with the edge of the apparatus. The scalp was cut and It was from this abrasion that consid erable blood flowed at the time McGulre ar rived at the station. It was found that the skull had been fractured. HOW TUB BOY FELL. It was thought by the police at first that McGuire's death was more largely due to the fall upon the hard pavement after he had been struck than to the blow itself. This theory , however. Is disproved by the state ments of Harry Castleton , who declares that McGulre fell to the sidewalk on his knees and then rolled Into the gutter. Castleton and Wadum both say that McGuire had been drinking heavily during the night , but was able to walk without assistance. McGulre was once arrested for being implicated In a highway robbery which occurred on North Twenty-fourth street , but was discharged after trial. Campbell still maintains his Innocence of an attempt to commit murder , and says "he only Intended to smash McGulre for trying to get ? ay. " When asked what ha , had done with the bellows Campbell said he had taken them to the house at 1214 Chicago street , and as they were badly battered the Swan woman burned them In the kitchen stove. Campbell and Lewis were transferred to the county Jail at noon yesterday , and later , upon suggestion of Chief Slgwart. Campbell was taken by Jailer Shand to Lin coln for eafe keeping. Lewis will be re tained as a witness , as It was shown by the testimony of Castleton and Wadum that he hail done nothing more than shove McGulre against a bill board and make a knife play. The body of McGulre was taken from the morgue shortly after 4 o'clock last night to the residence of his parents 2003 North Twenty-fifth street. An Inquest will be held this morning at 10 o'clock by Coroner Bur kct , and the funeral will take place from Holy Family church Friday morning. In terment will bo at St. Mary's cemetery.

NEBRASKA FOR BRYAN lurality for the Fusion Electors Will Eoach Over 6,000. STIMATES BASED ON PARTIAL RETURNS Complete Figures Will Not Be Available for Two or Three Dnys.

Although the returns from Nebraska arc rasmentary and may remain Incomplete for wo or three days , enough Is known to war- ant the conclusion that Nebraska has been , arrled for Mr. llryan and the fusion state Icket-by majorities ranging from G.OOO to- .000. The vote for presidential electors on jotu the republican and fusion tickets I * onslflcrably heavier than that given to andldates for state ofllcea and congress men. Holcomb will run from 800 to 1,500 owcr than Ilryan , and the candidates on ho fusion state ticket will not quite reach ho vote for Holcomb. This Is also true aa cgards the vote for MacColl and the rppub- loan state ticket , as compared with the McKlnley electors. It Is notable that the republican strong- lolds. Including Douglas , Lancaster , Gage , awnee and Saline counties , have all shown a very decided falling off , while the demo cratic and populist counties have not only icld their own , but In many cases have ex ceeded their strength of two years ago. Had ho counties which have heretofore been reliably republican polled their usual ma- orllles , McKlnley and the whole republican ; lcket would undoubtedly have carried th state by handsome majorities , as was an ticipated by the republican campaign man agers. The defections In the republican congres sional districts will defeat four out of the six republican candidates for congress , Strode and Mercer being the only ones on that ticket who can read their titles clear. From the returns thus far received It ii manifest that the fuilonltts will control both houses of the state legislature. As near as can be ascertained the republican * will have cloven senators and forty-ono members of the house , while the fuslonlsU will muster twenty-one senators and fifty- nine representatives , or nearly a two-third * majority In each branch of the legislature. uirrruxs FHOJI THI : STATIJ.
