E——— ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, T0 STEAL THE STATE Defeated Managers of the Tattooed Man's Cause Plan a Great Orime, BOUND TO HAVE HOLCOMB COUNTED OUT Padding Returns Wherever Possible and Buppressing Votes at Every Opportunity. ALREADY BUSY TALKING CF A CONTEST Council of the Uonspirators Determines to Mako All Effert: to Win, DE:PZRATE ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING Advoontes of Honest Elections Warned to Watch for Trickery and Fraud on Part of the Enraged Ringsters Who Are Uefeated. Long before the close of the campaign Brad Blaughter, who s, perhaps, the best equipped man on the executive committee of the state republican committee, thought he perceived a large area of low barometer before him in the impending defeat of the hickory shirt statesman of Nemaha. As a precautionary measure the side partners of the men in the big tent, who salled under the name of the Business Men's assoclation, were Induced to organize a speclal committee to contest the geat of Judge Holcomb In case of his election. The returns which were wafted in from over the rallroad preserve seemed to be very favorable to the election of Majors; but things took a rather dismal turn when it was dis- covered that Majors was fairly distanced in the race. When Brad pointed to the im- pending calamity to the men who had con- tracted to eclect Majors the contesting com- mittee was called in repuisition, and a grave consultation, In which it is said Judge Davis, Bill Gurley and Charley Green were the chief counsellors, was held. RAILROADS WORKING HARD, Runners went out in every direction head off the Holcomb majority. wero kept hot from the Burlington head- quarters to the counties of Cass, Pawnee, Richardson and Lancaster, to arrange for the necessary padding of the Majors election returns from those districts, so as to make them overlap the majorities for Holcomb. A special deputation was dispatched up the Omaha road and the Elkhorn to see what could be done by the thimble riggers to read- Just the actual returns to the necessities of the hour. Meantime the legal machinery s being gotten ready for the counting out of the legally elected governor of Nebraska. The audacity with which this conspiracy has been organized is only surpassed by the high handed outrages that have been perpetrated by the corporate combine during the progress of the campaign. HONEST REPUBLICANS INDIGNANT. Great indignation Is expressed, not only by the friends of Judge Holcomb, but by prominent republicans all over the state, to whom the proposition to embroil the people of the state in a disgraceful election con- test s repugnant. It Is already understood that the enraged and disappointed agents of the combined corporations have deter- mined upon such a contest. known that they are already With the election returns counties, to The wires It is also tampering in a number of In some of the leading countles of the state thirty-six hours have elapsed and no figures revealing the vote on governor have been glven out. Repeated Inquiries elicit only the stereotyped reply that “the count is progressing very slowly.” Tha people fully understand why the count is proceeding so slowly. They know that the announcement of the result In many counties 18 being purposely delayed to sult the pleas- ure of the men who propose to selze an office for which their pliant tool and candi- date had been rejected. The people of Ne- braska will do weil to keep a watchful eye upon the political strikers who are now at- tempting to unduly interfere with the ot est cholce of the electors of the state, WHOLESALE FRAUD ALLEGED. A report was recelved from Thurston county to'the effect that a plot has been hatched there to doctor the returns and that the bal- 1ot boxes had been stuffed in the Interest of Majors. Railroad runners work there and it is st will be made to defrau are actively at ed a desperate effort Holeomb out of the votes he is entitled to in that county. Charges of fraud in the election at South Omaha are made on every hand. It is alleged that at least 400 Holcomb votes were suppressed there. In every county In the state where the volo is close attempts at fraud may be looked for. Holcomb's friends must be on their guard, CALIFORNIA, Latest Figures Indicate the Election of Demoeratic Goveraor, S8AN PRANCISCO, Nov. 7.—The count and retyrns of the vote in California are proceed- Ing slower than ever known here. About one:halt the entire vote of California is copnted and the result Indicates that James M. Budd, democratic candidate for governor, has & plurality of between 6,000 and 7,000 votes. Ills plurality In this city will proba- biy &mount to 10,000, With the exception of supreme court justices and comptroller, suffi- clent returns have not been received to indi- gate which party has been successful with the remainder of the state ticket. The republi- eans have elected one supreme court justice, Henshuw, and the democrats the other two, Temple and Bridgeford, the latter to fill an unexpired term. Colgan, the republican nomines for comptroller, is also elected by perhaps 6,000 plurality. * The returns now indicate that \he republicans have six of the seven congressmen. Maguire, democrat, in the Fourth district, is re-elected, while there is little doubt that Caminetti, present repre- sentative from the Second district, Geary in the First district and English o the Third district have heen defeated. Not more than one-fourth of the vote in the First district hias been counted, but Barham, republican, coutinues to gain. It is probable that th elul candidates will be First district, Barham, republican; Second district, Johngon, republican; Third distr.ct, Hilborn, republican; Fourth district, Maguire, democrat; Fifth district, Loud, republican; Sixth di triet, McLachlan, republican; Seventh district, Bowers, republican. There are still not enough returns to indi- cate the complexion of the legislature. “MISSOURL Kepublicans Carry the State and Elect Ten of the Congressmen. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7.—Revised returns for the city of Louls show the election of Cobb, democrat, Joy, republican, and Bar- tholdt, republican, In the Twelfth, Eleventh and Tenth congressional districts, respec- tively. On the city and legislative ticket the democrats elected sixteen and the re- publicans twenty-three candidates. From the state in general, the returns are still meager, but there is no doubt whatever that Black, democrat, has been eclected su- preme court judge, Corrington, democrat, state superintendent of public schools, and Finks, democrat, railroad and warehouse commissione The state legislature fs d majority on joint ballot. The congressional result in the interior is slightly changed from last night's expectations. In the Fif- teenth, C. G. Burton, republican, is elected instead of Morgan, democrat, while in the Fourth the result fs In doubt, with the chances In favor of Crowther, republican, in- stead of Kllison, democrat. Otherwise the congressional delegation stands twelve demo- crats and three republicans, viz: Hatch, First; Hall, Second; Dockery, Third; Tarsney, Fifth; De Armond, Sixth; Head, Seventh; Bland, Eighth; Clark, Ninth; Cobb, Twelfth; Fox Thirteenth, and Arnold, Fourteenth, ali den ocrats, and Bartholdt, Tenth; Joy, Eleventh, and Burton, Fourth, republ X KANSAS' CITY, Nov. 7.—The city and county has probably gone democratic by a small plurality. The vote in the city for county officers favored the republican ticket, all candidates but (wo gelting majorities of from 150 to 230. The principal exception was J. B. Stone, the American Protective as- soclation candidate, who headed the republ.- can ticket for presiding judge of the su- perior court. He was beaten by Danfel Murphy, democrat, by 131 and was 500 be- hind his ticket in the city. The repub- licans elect two of the three assemblymen in the city, a gain of two, and will gain one and probably two more in the country. Congress—Fifth Missourl district:~ John arsney, democrat, undoubtedly elected. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 7.—If the returns which have been coming in to the state democratic committee from the country districts con- tinue as at present to the end, Missour! has gone republican. The democratic state central committee announe®s this afternoon that it Is satisfled that elght congressmen have been lost, that the legislature Is so close as to be practically lost, and that the republican can- didates for supreme court judge, superintend- ent of public schools and railroad commis- sioner may be elected. 10WA Republican Plurality Passes the Famous Garfield High Water Mark. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 7.—(Special Tele- gram.)-~The later election returns from Iowa have more than kept up the republican record. At this writing, 1 o'clock, the plurality on the state ticket promises to be well up in the nincty thousands. It may climb over the 100,000 mark, making it clearly the largest republican plurality ever polled in the state. ~Up to 10 o'clock full returns were received from ffty-five of the ninety-nine counties. In these the repub- lican plurality is on the average almost un- chan, For the first thirty countles it was 972 per county. For the fifty-five coun- tles it was 977, showing a steady increase in the average plurality. These fiity-five coun- ties include several strongly democratic coun- ties. If this ratio is kept up, as there is every reason to believe it will be, the re- publican plurality will be 96,728, which by almost 20,000 outstrips that famous Gar- fleld plurality, which las long been the high water mark of republicanism in this state. The state ticket ruus very evenly, and the figures for the head candidate will hold good for all. The combined prohibition and pop- ulist vote will, at present predictions, not exceed 40,000, In the congressional districts the repub- licans win decided victories In every one. Dolliver, in the Tenth, leads with an es- timated plurality of at least 8,000. This is a strong republican district. The lowest plurality is 507, which is in the Second dis- trict, where George M. Curtis defeated Wal- ter I. Hayes, democrat and present incum- bent. This district two years ago gave a plurality for Hayes of almost 8,000. The turn of the vote in that district was very largely duc to the change on the part of the German-Americans in Davenport and other cities on account pf protection and currency questions, In other districts the estimated pluraities are as follows! First, S. M. Clark, republican, 4,003 Second, .G. M. Curtis, republican, 507; Third, D. H. Hen- derson, republican, 4,000; Fourth, Thomas Updegraf, republican, 3,000; Fifth, R. G. Cousins, republican, 4,000; Sixth, J. F. Lacey, republican, 6,676; Seventh, J. A. T. Hull, republican, 7,600; Eighth, W. H. Hepburn 3,600; Ninth, A. 1. Hager, republican, 3,600 Tenth, J. P. Dolliver, republican, ~8.500; Eleventh, G. D. Perkins, republican, 700. SOUTH DAKOTA.

The county seat fight had a great deal to do with it.* Belle Fourche, Minnesela and Prairie City were contending for the plum. Belle Fourche gained it by the Elkhorn run- ning in a lot of men to grade the roads and streets. The populists did not elect a constable. Meade county has gone populist by thirty- five majority, Howe, for governor, having a plurality of fifteen votes, County offices are all populist but one. KANSAS, Popalists Still Claim the State in Spite of Heavy Losses. TOPEKA, Nov. 7.—Chairman Breidenthal claims the state for the populists and five of the elght congressmen. He says he has complete returns from only two counties, Scott and Pawnee, and that they show an increase over his estimate. Attorney Gen- eral Little concedes Kansas to the repub- licans. The republican state central committee seys all of the returns received show re- publican gains. » TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 7.—The republic: have carried Kansas by a plurality of possi- bly 30,000 and will have a slight majority over all.

K.\NSAS CITY, Nov. 7.—All returns from Kansas counties that have been heard from with few exceptions give Morr.ll, republican for governor, a plurality in each county, as follows: Sedgwick, 1,047; Cow- ley, 800; ouglas, 1,35 Reno, 600; Jackson, 640; Franklin, 40¢ Pratt, 100; Shawnee, Atchizon, Wilson, 600; Newton, Ellis, 400; Johnson, 700; Brown, 1,600; Montgomery, 400; Lyon, 200; Coffey, 100; Washington, 260. Lewelling gets ¢ ninety repre. , Pawnee and Sherman nties by 200, 65 and 53, respectively. These pluralities are based on full, complete and nearly complete unofficial returus. ‘COLORADO. Walte Probably Snowed Under by Fifteen Thousand or More, DENVER, Nov. 7.—Governor Waite con- ceded the defeat of his party early today. “To my mind,” satd he, “it proves con- clusively that the money power has dominated this election from beginning to end, and the democratic party is most responsible, from the fact that they voted the republican ticket instead of their own. I made up my mind several years ago that there was only one way to rescue the country from the conditions now existing and for which the money power is responsi- ble, and that was to fight them tooth and nail. Consequently I have never made any bones of declaring my opinion of their course and advocating that the controlling power wilch they have exercised over all legicla- tion be destroyed. 1 believed that the in- fluence of Wall street must be removed from congress. The result in Colorado can be ac- counted for from the fact that the demo- crats have almost to a man voted for the republican ticket. It proves to me that there s absolutely no difference in the financial policy of the democratic and re- publican parties, “Colorado demacrats evidently voted the republican tickets on account of orders re- ceived from Washington. It was the same in New York. While the democrats there may not have received explicit orders, there is no doubt but that their conduct was in- fluenced largely by a secret understanding existing between the leaders. The pur- pose was to perpetuate and continue the gold standard, for which Wall street has been contending so earnestly. When asked if hé thought the populist party will ever regain power the governor replied: “I believe it will, but it may not be for some time. I do mot know exactly how it will ba done. I think we will have to go right over their heads, however. I advocate this being done in a peaceful manner if pos- sibie, a peaceful revolution. Of course, I believe the ballot is the proper method to be employed. But this has not proved efficacious in this state.” The governor said that woman's influence i1 the cities, where it Is greatest, was ex- cited against him. “The worien,” he said, “must be educated to think for themselves and not be controlled by the money power as the men are.” Returns are coming in slowly from the south- ern and western counties. Latest estimates give the republicans 15,000 to 20,000 plurality on the head of the state ticket. One hun- dred and forty precincts out of 167 in Arap- ahoo cousty give McIntyre 13,597 plurality. The republicans have fifty-four members of the legislature, populists and democrats have forty-three and three are doubtful. The democratic vote in the state is estimated at 7,000 and the prohibitionist is less. The returns from the state outside of Denver are very meager, but thore so far received indicate the election of Melntyre and the entire republican state ticket by 15,000 to 20,000 plurality. The republicans claim to have carried even the Cripple Creek district, which was expected to give a large majority for Waite. With forty-six precincts missing MeIntyre hes ar majority over Waite for governor in this county of 9,675. The complete returns will increase McIntyre's majority to at least 12,000, and the republicans claim that Mc Intyre will have 5,000 plurality in the re- mainder of the state. Chairman Clark of the populist state cen- tral committee claims the election of Waite by 8,000 plurality. No returns have yet been received as to the legislature, but ‘it will probably be re- publican by a large majority. Both sides are claiming the Sec ad district. Waite ran behint ‘his ticket many thou- sands, but has undoubtedly carried the entire ticket down to defeat with him. If the re- publicans have 20,000 majority on the head of their state ticket they will undoubtedly control the legislature and re-elect Senator Wolcott. Pence, populist, is beaten by Shafroth, republican, for congress In the First district. Bell, populist, may defeat Bowen in the Second district, but his majority of 12,000 two years ago will be greatly reduced. KENTUCKY. Making Great Bourbondom.

Holcomb has been elected governor of Nebraska by a plurality that will reach about 8,000. Even the repub- lican state central committe¢ has conceded the defeat of Majors by 2,000, The Bee of yesterday was the only paper in the state that told the truth and announced the result definitely, and this morning the story of the ess of Judge Holcomb has only to be re- peated. suc Returns received by The Bee last night ty in the state, nearly all offi- cial, and a few partially estlmated, give Hol- comb a plurality of 2,764, This may be in- creased, but it cannot be reduced. The returns from the counties in which “phenomenal” gains were made by Majors were held back as long as possible, but when it was seen that there was o hope of knock- ing out the growing plurality for Holcomb the vote from these counties was allowed to become public property. Outside of the governorship there has been almost a landslide in the state for the re- publicans. Every candidate’ on the republi- can state ticket except Majors has been elected by a round plurality. The republicans have elected, probably, all ‘six congressmen and the state legislature will be overwhelm- ingly republican on joint ballot. It would seem from the returns that om legislative canaidates generally fusion’ fafled to fuse, and In this “republican ydar® Nebraska swung into line for rn-publlcflfl’ m of the un- spotted kind. \ .. REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE GIVES IT UP. At midnight Assistant Secretary Rigg of the republican state central committee was seen by a representative of The Bee and asked for a statement of the situation, “You may say,” sald Mr. Rigg, “that the republican state central committes concedes the election of Judge Holcomb by a plurality of about 2,000. In the absence of Chairman Morrill, who has retired for purpose getting a little rest the strain of the past two nights, I do not think it proper for me to offer any statement as to how or why Mr. Majors was defeated. We concede his defeat and stop with that. We belfeve that the bal- arce of the state ticket s elected by from 7,000 to 10,000. We also feel safe in claim- ing the election of al! s'x 1epublicen congress men from Nebraska.

Complete returns from Omaha and Douglas county do not make It necessary to change the statement made heretofore that the entire republican legislative ticket and the republi- can nominees for all offices in the county and city were elected. Final returns only modify the situation by increasing the pluralities of the republican nominees. The noon edition of The Bee announced the winning candidates on every ticket and was the first to present an intelll gent fdea of the actual result in city and county. Only a very few precincts where the vote is light were omitted, and the tables and footings given were far ahead of all com- petitors, whose feeble efforts to publish the returns failed utterly. Douglas county complete on governor gives: 1; Holcomb, 10,210; Majors, 10,- 649; Sturdevant, 5 Majors' plurality, 429, Complete returns from Douglas county on congressman give: Boyd, 6,9 Deaver, £ Mercer, 11,152; Woodl 880.
