It is conceded by democrats that Mr. Mudd will carry the county by between four and five hundred votes, but will run behind the presidential ticket fully 20 votes. This falling behind of Mr. Mudd, {f it proves true, as alleged it will by his op- ponents, will be due to the determined op- position of the A. P.

In this, the first election district, he will have a majority of about 100. The polls will close at G and the returns from all the districts will reach here, the central point cf the county, not later than 11 p.m. Re- publican estimates give Mr. Mudd not less than 500 majority in this county, 300 in St. Mary “) in Calvert and a small ma- Jority in Prince George's.

It is apparent that Bryan and Sewall will receive an overwhelming ma- jority, and interest centers in the election of state officers. There are four tickets in the field, and the result ts in doubt. The silver republican-democratie fusion candi- dates and the popultst-silver party nominees appear to be running about even. In Denver over two-thirds of the regis- tered vote had been polled at noon. DENVER, Col., November 3.—Reports from. the state indicate that many of the McKinley republicans are bolting their state ticket and voting for the silver re- publican-democratic ticket in order to de- feat the populists. This is especially true at Colorado Springs, where the republican strength is greater than anywhere else in the state. —e CALIFORNIA. San Francisco Claimed by Both. SAN FRANCISCO, November 3.—The weather throughout the state was fine with a clear sky. From all thé counties come reports of an unusually heavy vote polled early. In many towns half the regis- tered vote was polled by 8 o'clock. The total vote will undoubtedly far exceed that cast at any previous election. In this city and Los Angeles three-fourths of the reg- istered workmen voted by §. No disturb- ances at the polls were reported up to 11 o'clock. An unusually large number of watchers were stationed at each polling booth. Be- sides representatives of the republicans, democrats, populists, silverites and civic non-partisans, the grand jury had watchers in every precinct, and the Merchants’ As- sociation had also an army of volunteer representatives at the booths. Besides civic and judicial officers tu be. elected in San Francisco today the question of a new charter is also on ballot. So many ques- tions render it difficult to keep tally on voting for presidential electors, but both the republicans and fusionists express con- fidence at the result of the votes cast early. From every county tn tke state comes re- ports of the unusually heavy vote. In San Francisco and Los Angeles the gold demo- crats are voting for McKinley. In Los Argeles the republicans claim the county for McKinley by cne-fourth their normal majority. This city is claimed by both par- tles by a small majority. No disturbances at the polls are reported from any precinct.

The state is safely republican, the only question being the size of McKinley's plu- raliiy. This will depend entirely upon what Multnomah county will do. Outside of ths county the vote will be in Bryan’s favor by from 2,000 to 3,00), The republicans themselves, that is, the more conservative, concede that the big McKinley demon- stration Saturday night plainly indicated how this county will go and the fair weather prevailing has trevght out a tre- mendous vote. So far fully seven-eighths of the vote of Portland kas been polled and those who have kept any kind of a tab say it is at the very lowest estimate six to one for McKinley. The Palmer-Buckner ticket will not re- ceive nearly so large a vote as was an- ticipated, nearly all the sound meney democrats voting for McKinley. The lat- est estimate of the republican plurality in Multonomah is 6.000, giving the state to McKinley by 3,000. M. J. R. McKinley's Majority in Portland. PORTLAND, Ore., November 3.—Up to noon there had been but few arrests for il- legal voting. Chairman Hirsch of the re- publican committee says McKinley will carry this city by 5,000 and state by 5,000 to 10,000, The fusion is conceding Mc- Kinley 2,500 in this city, and claims a Br an majority in the state wili wipe this out and leave Bryan's majority 5,000. —. TENNESSEE. Gold Democrats for MeKinicy. NASHVILLE, Tenn., November 3.—Addi- tional reports from many counties tell of a much larger vote than usual, and great interest in the result. The majority of sound money democrats are voting for Mc- Kinley. The republican leaders are still claiming the state for McKinley and Ti man for governor. It will take fuller vices from the polls to indicate approxi- mately the result of the election. Tennessee Claimed for McKinicy. CHICAGO, November 3.—E. B.
