+ TWMEAT BATTLE TS DECIDED Election Returns’ Indicate the Election of McKinley and Roosevelt by a Safe Majority. st | | . CARRIES NEW YORK, ILLINOIS AND OHIO ’ Republicans Will Have a Working Major- ity in the House and Senate-- Returns by States. While the returns on the election are far from being complete, it is conceded by the Democrats that McKinley and Roosevelt have been elected, receiving probably a slight increase over the elec- toral vote of 1896. The result: was be- yond doubt when it became known that the pivotal state of New York had gone to the Republicans, although at a greatly | reduced majority from the figures of 1896. In lin the Republican plurality also showed a decline, but at thet McKinley is given a margin of about 90,000. On the other hand, the returns from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, the two Da- kotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska, indicated strong Republican 1896. Delaware, Maryland and nia give decisive Republican over t in several of the far Western naturally very much delayed, consequence the returns from s are incomplete. rge states of the East and Mid- the Republican pluralities have atly reduced. Massachusetts fell 0 to 80,000, New York from 268,000 to 135,000 and Illinois from 142,000 to about 90,000.

Of the remaining 4¢ z are resented by Republicans, 17 by Democrat 1 by a Silverite, 4 lists and 1 by a fusionist. Below is given the returns by states, as compiled by the latest figures at hand: NEW YORK. Republicans Carry the About 150,600 . tions are that President Me- Kinley carried New York state by a majority over Bryan of about 150,000, compared with a Republican majority in the last presidential election of 268,469. vote in the city of New York is mately 60,000 larger than it was and up the state the increase is 000. In the ‘city Bryan wiped State by The ind about 3 out the plurality of 60,000 which’ McKin- ley had four years ago and took on a plurality for himself of about 25,000. Up , the state McKinley barely held the vote which he had in 1896, the adde¢. vote going to Bryan. The voté fur B. B. Odell, , Republican nominee for governor, is considerably larger than that for Mc- Kinley. In Brooklyn, particui)y, the Democratic nominee for governor, Mr. Stanchfield, appears to have béen gcratch- ed. INDIANA. MeKinley Has Probably Carried the State. The Sentinel says the result In Indiana is in @oubt, but if the percentage of Re- publican gain indicated by the latest re- ports tained the state will give McKin yroximately the same plu- rality as in 1896. 7 —— oOnIo. MeKinley Carries His Own State by a Good Majority. President McKinley ‘has carried his by a plurality of about 70,000, own Stat Return: incomplete, but this estimate will not far out of the way. The Re- public have gained in the rural dis- tricts and in Columbus, Canton, the home of the president, in Akron, the home of Chairman Dick, and in a few other cities, Lem:cratic State Chairman Long con- ceded the state to the Republicans and “S axpcets a gain of one congressman over Np jast delegation trom Ohio in congress, the, | which stood sixteen Republicans and five Democrats. Republican Chairman Dick stands b. hi poli of the state, which he insists shows from 75,000 to 80,000 for McKinley, and he insists that the Repub- licans will gain two or three congress- men. ILLINOIs. to, Republicans Lose Two Congressmen in Chicago. Complete returns from 15 counties in the state and partial returns from the others including the full vote of Chicago in Cook county, indicate a plurality for McKinley that will probably exceed 90,- 000. Chairman Watson of the Democratic tate central committee concedes the state to McKinley by 50,000. Returns also indicate ithe election of the full Re- publican state ticket by majorities con- siderably under the presidential figures. It is practically assured ¢hat the next legislature, which will eléct a United States senator to succeed Shelby M. Cul- lom, will be Republican on joint ballot at least and by a sufficient majority to elect a senator. The Democrats claim a gain of eight members of the legisla- ture while the Republicans concede five. it may take the official count to decide the result in several districts. The Re- publicans have lost two congressmen in Chicago. PENNSYLVANIA. MeKiniey Gets the State by a Large Majority. Estimates from every county in the state indicate a majority for McKinley of 293,583. ‘Ihe state ticket also receives a good majority. Pennsylvania’s delega~ tion in the next congress will not be less than 24 Republicans to 6 Democrats, as against 20 Republicans and 10 Democrats in the present congress. * M. 8S. Quay’s friends are claiming they will have a majority on joint ballot fa- vorable to his re-election to the United States senate, and the returns would ap- pear to bear out this claim. The control of the state senate, as between Quay and anti-Quay, is !n doubt, with chances fa- voring the Quayites, though the complete returns may give the organization of that body to the opponents of Mr. Quay. MARYLAND. MeKinley Carries the State by 10,- President McKinley carried Baltimore city by a majority of 6,995. The re- turns from the counties are meager, but of the advices from 81 scattered precincts out of 354 give him 18,285 as against 16,197 for Bryan, thus assuring him a majority of at least 10,000 in the state. The Democrats have lost five out of the six congressmen, with the probabilities in favor of a clean sweep by the loss of the other. Republicans Carry the State by a Good Majority. Powident McKinley has carried the state by a majority variously estimated from 75,000 to 100,000. The entire Repub- lican ticket has been also elected, al- though by a smaller majority. The state legislature will be Republican and Sen- ator McMillan’s re-election is a certainty. It seems almost certain that the Repub- licans have elected all their congressional rominees. CALIFORNIA. Indications Are That the Repub- licans Have Carried the State. While the returns from the state at large are very incomplete, enough are at hand to warrant the prediction that Mc- Kinley has carried California by a plu- rality of 10,000. The Republicans have elected four congressmen sure. Two dis- tricts are in doubt. No returns have been received from the First district, but that has been generally conceded to the Re- publicans. The legislature will be Repub- lican, VERMONT. Republicans Win Ort by a Falr Ma- jority. Returns are yet incomplete, but from what have been received it is estimated that the Republican plurality will be 30,- c00. The Democrats made large gains over 1896. IOWA. . Eleven Republicans Will Be Sent to Washington, It 14 apparent that Iowa will be Repub- lican by 100,000, and a solid delegation of eleven Repubiicans will be sent to Wash- ington. The returns received show a net Republican gain of 20 to a pre¢inct. The entire Republican state ticket is elected by the largest pluralities ever rolled up in Towa. MISSOURI. Bryan Carries the State, but by a Reduced Majority, The Indications are that Bryan has car- ried the state by a reduced plurality. Both parties claim the election of their gubernatorial candidates, the Republic- ans that Joseph Flory has been elected crats claim the election of A. M, Dock- ery by 15,000. MAINE. ‘ tc RM . Light Vote In Polled — Democratic . Gains, A comparatively light vote was polled in Maine. All through the state there was a considerable falling off in the Re- publican plurality from four years ago and @ corresponding gain in the Demo- cratic column. Returns have been receiv- ed from 210 cities and towns, showing @ Republican plurality of 18,481, as against 81,088 for the same towns in 1808. Figu¥- ing on this basis the Republican plurality in tho state will be about 27,300. KANSAS, Republicans Claim the State by a Fair Majority. Reputlicans claim the state for McKin- ley by 30,000 plurality, and for Stanley for governor by 25,000. They also claim the election of the entire Republican con- gressional delegation, and that the legis- lature on the joint ballot will be Repub- lican, Democrats concede the state to the Republicans by a small majority. COLORADO. Indications Point to a Democratic Victory. Milton Smith, chairman of the Demo- cratic state central committee, made the following statement: “I am satisfied Bryan has carried Colorado by from 40,000 to 50,00, and the Fusionist state ticket will not run 5,000 votes behind him.” The legislature will be Democratic. Both Democratic congressmen are elect- ed. Bryan's Majority Will Probably Reach 18,000. Bryan’s majority in the state wM be not far from 18,000. y The Fusionist state ticket was appar- ently. elected by several thousands. Gov. Toole is running ahead and will have at least 10,000 plurality. The resf of the Democratic state ticket is elected. The legislature is controlled. by straight Dem- ocrats, friends of Senator W. A. Clark. NEBRASKA. Republicans Claim the State by a Small Majority. Republicans claim to have carried Mr. Bryan’s home state by from 5,000 to 10,- 000, They also claim the control of the legislature. Mr. Bryan failed to carry his district, city, ward or precinct. The congressional tieket is in doubt, with ‘the’ chances in favor of the Republicans electing a majority of the representatives. GEORGIA. Small Vote Polled, but It Was for an. Georgia will give Bryan a plurality of 40,000. The vote is small compared with the 74,000 majority given the state house ticket a few weeks ago. The Democratic congressmen are re-elected without opposition. NORTH CAROLINA. Will Give Bryan the Electoral Vote by a Small Majority. This state will-give Bryan a small ma- jority. The Republicans will get two of the nine congressmen and F. M. Simmons will be elected to the United States sen- ate to succeed Butler. DELAWARE. Republicans Carry the State and Democrats Get the Legislature. Returns indicate the election of the Republican state and electoral ticket by a majority of 1,500 to 2,000 and the elec- tion of a Democratic legislature, which will elect a United States senator. RHODE ISLAND. McKinley and Roosevelt Will Have About 20,000. On an increased vote Bryan has made considerable gains in Rhode Island. Mc- Kinley’s plurality will be about 20,000, it is thought. FLORIDA. State Gives Bryan a Majority of > About 25,000, Latest reports indicates the success of the entire Democratic state ticket with a majority of about 25,000. Both Demo- cratic congressmen are re-elected. OREGON, Its Vote Is Cast for the Republican Nominees. Two hundred and fifty precincts in Oregon out of 772, including 47 in the city of Portland, give McKinley 22,835, Bryan 14,586, WYOMING, Republicans Carry This State by a Small Majority. Returns from the state coming in slow- ly. Indications thus far are that the state is safe for McKinley and congressmen by 2,000 plurality. TENNESSEE, Democrats Carry State by Deercased ote. Bryan has carried the state by a de- creased vote. His plurality in 1896 was 19,403, Nashville has gone for Bryan. McKinley carried the city in 1896, KENTUCKY, Both Parties Claim the Blac Gra ‘ State. Returns up to 2:30 centinued to show Democratic gains, though both sides still claim the election, ARIZONA. The Territory Gives a Small Repub. lican Majority, Latest reports indicate that Arizona has gone Republican by a very small ma- jority. SAS, ARK. Bryer's saieeaere4 Will Bo at Lesat B ‘The Democrats carried the stato fur the national ticket by a majority of between 60,000 and 60,000, All the Democratic congressmen were elected. 5 TEXAS, The State, as Usual, Goes Demo- cratic,, Tho Democratic state ticket, headed by yoseph D, Sayers for governor, is elected hy a majority in excess of 200,000, The jegislature is almost solidiy Democratic. by 10,000 majority, whereas the Demo. jz will eleot Joseph W. “Bailey Unite@ States senator to succeed Horace Chilton. All the Democratic congressmen are elected except the Tenth district, where the result !s in doubt. MASSACHUSETTS Goes to the Republicans by a Re- duced Majority. President McKinley has carried Massa- chusetts by about 80,000 plurality, a re- duction of nearly 100,000 from that of four years age. The Republicans have elected ten and possibly eleven of the con- gressmen. The state ticket also received @ go0d safe majority. CONNECTICUT. Plurality for McKinley Is Estimated at 20,000, One hundred und fifty-five cities and towns in Connecticut out of 108 sive Bryan 31,310, McKinley 49,107, a Re- Publican net gain of 9 per cent, Demo- cratic net gain of 37. On this basis Mo- Kinley’s pluraility in Connecticut is est!- mated at 20,000, NEW HAMPSHIRE. Democrats Made Gains — Republican Senator Will Be Elected. The Democrats have made a gain In the New Hampshire legislature, but that body is overwhelmingly Republican, in- suring the election of a Republican United States senator. Both congression- al districts in this state have been car~ ried by the Republicans. WASHINGTON, Indications That McKinley Wilt Carry the State by 5,000. There is every indication that McKinley has carried the state by 5,000. In this city Frink (Rep.) for governor is run- ning’ behind McKinley. The election of governor is too close to be determined at this time. NEW JERSEY. Republicans Carry the State by 50,- 000 Plurality. Late returns bear out the statement that New Jersey will give McKinley 50,- 000 plurality, The new senate will stand 16 Republicans to 4 Democrats, and the house will contain 44 Republicans and 15 Democrats. ‘WEST VIRGINIA. and Repabhlican Ticket Win. Indications are that McKinley has car- ried the state by 8,000, and the Republic- an State ticket is probably elected, while the Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot in the legislature. McKinley State NEVADA. Bryan Will Carry the State by From 1,200 to 1,500. Late returns throughout the state indi- cate that Bryan will carry Nevada by from 1,200 to 1,500, and that Newlands, Democrat, is re-elected by a safe ma- jority. ‘ VIRGINIA. The State Goes to Bryan by 30,000 Majority. Actual and estimated pluralities give . the state to Bryan by upwards of 30,000. The Democrats have elected ql their congressmen with the possible eXception of one, which ts in doubt. IDAHO. Meager Reports Seem to Favor the Democrats. Seventeen precincts in Idaho give Mc- Kinley 1,329, Bryan 1,596. In 1896 they gave the Republicans 797, and Fusionists 1,132. : UTAH. Both Sides Claim the State by Small Majority. Mr. Callister, Republican chairman, said: “The state from present appear- ances has gone Republican.” Democratic Chairman Burton said: “Bryan will carry the state by a ma- | jority of 11,000 or more.” MISSISSIPPI, This States Gives the Democrats a Good Sized Majority.

A light vote was cast in this state, put the Democrats swept everything, electing all nine congressmen and giving Bryan a large majority. SOUTH CAROLINA, The full state ticket and full eongres- sional ticket was elected by the Demo- crats, Bryan’s majority “ill probably reach 40,000, LOUISIA Bryan carried Louisiana by a majority apparently of 50,000.

Canton, Oh!o, Nov. %—Prestdent McKin- ley cast his ballot at 9:20 o’cloct yester- day morning. Shortly before that time he came from the McKinky residence, atfompanied by Judge Day, Dr.- Rixey, Postmaster George B. Frease and Charles R. Miller of Canton and Eecretary Cor- telyou. The president willingly gr-eted the knots of pecpte gathered in front of the polls and accompanied his hearty handshake with a hearty personal greet- ing. At the voting placo. quite a crowd had collected to see tho president cast his vote. He shook hands with some of the officals, an@ then stood while the questions required by law were asked. With the questions answered, the pres!- dent stepped Into the booth and remained fully a minute, scanning the tleket. He marked !t for the entire Republican ticket. Lincoln, Neb.

He voted the straight Democratic tecket. Mr Bryan cast his vote at 2:10. ‘Tho ceremony was witnessed by half a hundred residents who were congregated in the hove house and a dozen or sa of newspaper Cast Thete men, who followed Mr, Bryan from the rails road station, NORTH STAR STATE BADGER’S BALLOTS MINNESOTA GIVES wKINLEY a| FAVOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDI- GOOD MAJORITY. The Fight for Governor Is Rather in Doubt — Republicans Claim the Election of Van Sant Over Lind by About 8,000 Majority ~Demo- erats, However, Claim the Elee- tion of Their Candidate by 2 Safe Majority~Figures Come Slowly. Minnesota gives McKinley a plurality that will not be far from 50,000, ‘and may Possibly exceed that estimate. Returns @re as yet incomplete and definite figures can not be given. As to the gubernatorial ticket, the re sult is rather doubtful at this writing The Republicans claim the election of Van Sant for governor over Lind by # plurality of trom 8,000 to 10,000, but it will require more complete figures to give the result with any degree of oc- curacy. Early returns seemed to fndicate the re- election of John Lind, but later figures changed the aspect somewhat, and upon these the Republicans based their claims of victory. The other Republican state candidates have probably been elected by pluralities ranging from 20,000 to 30,000: Hennepin county goes for Van Sant by a fair majority, electing the county tick- et, and in the city Dr. Ames, the Repub- lican candidate, is elected mayor by a ™majority that may reach 5,000. Congress- man Fletcher is re-elected. In Ramsey county, with returns from two-thirds of the precincts reported, Me- Kinley is in the lead, and if the same ratio is maintained he will probably have about 6,000 majority. The same pre- einets give Lind, for governor; about 800 majority. Congressman Stevens has prob- ably been re-elected by a safe majority. The vote on congressmen has not yet been reached, and no estimate can be given of the result. The following are the figures as far as received from the state: Anoka—The city of Anoka complete gives McKinley, 500; Bryan, 185; four years ago, McKinley, 543; Bryan, 241. ‘Van Sant, 450; Lind, 235; two years ago, Eustis, 345; Lind, 248.

DATES. MeKinley and Roosevelt Receive a Plurality of From 105,000 to 115,- 000 — La Follette, for Gevernor, ) Receives About the Same, as Do All Other Republican Candidates. Milwaukee, Nov. 7.—Election returns in- dicate that Wisconsin has gone for Mc- Kinley by from 105,000 to 415,000 plu- rality. The Republican state ticket, headed by Robert M. La Follette, will receive a similar piurglity. The legis- lature will be overwhelmingly Republic- an, and tlie congressional delegation 13 also certainly Republican, The congressmen electe# are as fol- lows: First district, Henry A. Cooper (Rep.); Second district, Herman B. Dahl (Rep.); Third, Joseph W. Babcock (Rep.); Fourth, Theobald Otjem (Rep:); Fifth, Samuel 8. Barney (Rep.); Sixth, James H. Davidson (Rep:); Seventy John J.

Joe Bryant, chairman of the Republican state central committee, gave out the following statement: “We have carrie? the state for McKin- ley by from 105,000'to 115,000. La Follette is running even with McKinley, and their pluralities will not differ materially.

Im an interview he said: “The: returns. are coming im so: slowly that it is difficult to. make am estimate on the situation. From the comparative re- ports. so:far-received from about fifty pre- cincts in the state the indications: are that McKinley has- carried the stexte by from 8,000 to 10,000 plurality.”” Reports indicate that the Bryaw elect- ors:are running about 60: per cent behind the majorities of four years ago, when the Republican majority was 5,647.

Republican leaders: clainr the state by 12,000 for McKinley and’ by 10,000 for the entire state ticket. The indications are that the final count of tie ballots will bear out the last claims.
