DENVER, Coro., Nov. 3.—There isno change in the figures given out last night from Colorado, except that the election of Governor isin doubt. It will be close, and an official count will be necessary. It is thought Democratsand silver Republicans claim that their candidate is elected. - CONNECTICUT. HARTFORD, Coxx., Nov. 4.—Revised returns (unofficial) from every town in the State show that McKinley's plurality is 54,142. The Republican majority on joint ballot in the Legislature will be 214. Cook for Governor has a plurality of 44,340 and a majority of 52,392 over Senator Sargent, silver Democrat. Bryan carries only three of 168 towns in the State. — e INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Nov. 4.—It has been a day of uncertainty and aunxiety in Indiana. There was in the late returns last night and in those up to noon to-day a steady decline in the percentage of Re- publican gains as additional precincts were reported that led the Democratic State Commitiee and the Democratic newspapers to claim the State. The bul- Jetin boards have been surrounded all day with vast crowds of people making the streets impassable. They stood in the rain ant cheered the slightest indication of anything favorable to their side of the case in Indiana, but they had no- patience for returns-from other States, apparently being convinced that it all depended upon In 5 The returns to the Democratic State Cowmmittee are very meager, but do not differ materiaily irom the Republican re- turns from the same counties. There are ninety-two counties in the State. Com- plete returns from sixty-two of these counties, with others estimated from very nearly complete returns, favor McKinley by 21,908. Returns entire cannot change these figures more than 1000 at most. These returns for the most part come in the shape of pluralities by counties and the vote cannot be given until the official count is made to-morrow. The Republicans have carried both branches of the Legislature and have a majority of thirty-two on joint ballot, thus assuring the election of a Republican to succeed Senator Voorhees. They have elected nine Congressmen and the fusion- ists have elected one silver Republican end three Democrats. The following have been elected: James A. Hemenway R., W. R. Meyers D., W. T. Zener D., W. 8. Holman D., Georze W. Faris R., Henry U. Johnson R., Jesse Overstreet R., Charles L. Henry R., Joseph B. Cheadle S. R., E. D. Crumpacker R., Georze W. Steele R., W, F. Robiuson R., W. A. Royse R. At 10 ¢’clock to-night Cbairman Martin of the Democratic State Committee con- cedes the State to McKinley by 23,000, but claimed the election of five Congressmen, Miers in the Second Distriet, Zenor in the Third, Holman in the Fourth, Cheadle in the Ninth and Robinson in the Twelfth. The Repuvblicans concede all these but Cheadle, claiming the election of Landis by 500. IOWA. D MOINES, Iowa, Nov.4.—The re- turns from Iowa are not yet complete, but indicate that the National Republican ticket has carried the State by not less than 70,000, and possibly 80,000, plurality over the fused Deniocrats and Populists. Palmer and Buckner will receive not over 4000 votes. The sound-money Democratic committee claims that from 40,000 to 50,000 Democrats voted for McKinley. Apout a quarter of the fusion vote is cast by the Populists. The Republican State ticket, headed by Secretary of State and including Auditor, Treasurer, Supreme Judge, Attorney- General and Railroad Commissioner, is elected by about the same figure as the National ticket. The fusion extended to State and Congressional tickets. The Republicans have elected the entire eleven Congressmen by the following plu- ralities: First District, 8. M. Clark, 4500; Second, George M. Curtiss, 3500; Third, D. B. Henderson, 9000; Fourth, Thomas degraff, 8000; Fifth, R. G. Cousins, 9000 Sixth, John F. Lacey, 200; Seventh, J. A. T. Hull, 8500; Eighth, W. P. Hepburn, 1500; Nintb, A. L. Hager, 4000; Tenth, J. P. Dolliver, 14,000; Eleventh, George G. Perkins, 12,000. St got et KANSAS. TOPEKA, Kaws, Nov. 4—Bryan and Sewall have carried Kangas by a small plurality, but the State ticket is in doubt. The Populists have elected Ridgley to Congress in the Third District, Vincent in the Fourth, McCormick in the Sixth ana Simpson in the Seventh. They ciaim the Congressman at large. The Republicans have elected Broderick to Congress in the First District, Harris in the Second ana Curtis in tie Fourth. They also claim the Congressman at large. The Legisia- ture is in doubt. Both the Republicans and Populists claim it. MICHIGAN. DETROIT, Micn., Nov. 4.—The late re- turns from the State continue to show Republican gains over the vote of 1892 The leaders of the Republican party in the upper peninsula claim tbat McKinley's plurality in that section will reach 20,000, and if the official figures bear out their claim the Republicans have carried the State on the National ticket by nearly 50,000 plurality. Mayor Pingree of Detroit R., candidate for Governor, has carried the State by iully 60,000, and runs more than 10,000 ahead of nis ticket. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Re- publican, although 1he fusionists have elected twenty-two Representatives and five Senators. Two years ago John Dono- van of Barr was the only anti-Republican who was elected in either branch. The Republicans have carried ten out of the twelve Coneressional districts. A, M. Todd (silver Democrat) is elected in the Third District by a small plurality and F. A. Brucker (silver Democrat) has de- feated W. 8. Linton (R.) by about 1000 plurality. The Republicans have elected the fol- lowing Congressmen: First District, J. B, Corless; Second, George Spalding; Fourth, N. L. Hamilton; Fiith, William Alden Smith; Sixth, S. W. Smith: Seventn, Horace G. Snover; Ninth, Roswell P. Bishop; Tenth, R, 0. Crump; Eleventh, W. 8. Mesick; Twelith, T. C. Sheldon. The Republican pluralities for Congress- men range from 1000 for Crump to 12,000 for Sheldon. Fude s ol ot MINNESOTA. ST. PAUL, M1xx., Nov. 4. —Returns are sufficiently complete for Minnesota this evening to indicate clearly how the State has gone. McKinley has a plurality of perhaps a little more than 30,000, having carried St. Paul by 4400 and Minneapolis by 6300. TLe Republicans also elect all of their State ticket. It was thought fora while this afternoon that Clough (R.) was defeated for Governor, but returns re- ceived up to 9 P. M. show that he hss defeated Lind by a plurality of from 5000 to 10,000. All the rest of the ticket is elected by 20,000. The Republicans also get all of the seven Congressmen. Towne, the silver leader, who made the race in the Sixth District, is apparently defeated by less than 500. In the Seventh District Lomar (Pop.) is defeated by Eddy (R.) by over 2500. The Legislature is overwhelm- ingly Republican, that party having car- | ried at least eighty-fiveof the 114 districts. e NEBRASKA. LINCOLN, Nesr, Nov. 4.—Returns by counties, which began comingin to-day, merely served to emphasize what was ap- parent early this morning—that Brvan and the entire fusion State ticket have carried in Nebraska. The plurality will not be sweeping, but each belated precinct which comes in seems to make more de- cisive the victory. Republicans have not yet ceased hoping, and Chairman Post will not concede defeat, but it will take a landslide in all the remote quarters of the State to change the tide. The Republican defection seems to have been largest in the cities and towns, where heretofore has been their strength. Best estimates place the majority for Bryan in the State at 7000. Holcomb, fusion, for Governor, seems to be running slightly ahead of the electoral ticket. Of the six Congres- sional districts the First is undoubtedly Republican by a narrow margin, the Sec- ond Republican, the Fourth and Fifth in doubt, and the Third and Fifth fusion. Few figures have been received on the Legislature, but prospects for the silver Democrats and Populists controlling both branches are the best. NEVADA. CARSON, Nkv., Nov. 4—Returns from small outside precincts are coming in very slow, All, however, give Bryan and Se- wall large majorities, and also give entire silver Democratic State ticket majorities. Newlands sure to be returned to Congress and Jones to the Senate. Silver Demo- cratics will bave a majority in the Legis- lature on joint ballot. S NEW JERSEY. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The latest returns from New Jersey make but little change in the report sent out by the United Associated Presses last night. Me- Kinley's plurality is 74,694. — NORTH CAROLINA. RALEIGH, N. C, Nov. 4—At Demo- cratic heauquarters Chairman Manley said: ‘‘Returns from the State come in slowly, but indicate Democratic gains in every county save two so far heard from, which, if maintained, are safe to give Watson (D.) a clear majority for Gov- ernor. I think it safe to say he is elected. Bryan’s majority, it now seems, will be not less than 2,000. I think Kitchen and Doughton, Democrats, are elected to Con- gress from the Fifth and Eighth districts respectively. Kitchen has made great gains in the Fifth on Settle’s vote 1n 1894 I find that the Republican State chairman is basing all his estimates on the State on the vote of 1892, when we had 40,000 plu- rality.” Republican State Chairman Holton said at 11:30 o’clock; “I1 bave no information as to the Fifth District, save as to Guil- ford and Stokes counties, both of which go Republican. Settle’s election is doubt- ful. As to other Congressmen, Pearson of the Ninth telegraphed he is safe. I think] he is beyond doubt. [ think we elect Linney in the Eighth. There is no definite news as.to Fowler in the Third. I feel sare of Skinner in the First. White in the Second, Stroud in the Fourth, Mar- tion in the Sixth and Shuaorm in the Seventh are elected. I have no figures on the vote for Governor. Twenty-one coun- ties heard from give a Republican gain of 20,000 over the vote of 1892 and lose only 80. McKinley will carry the State by 25.- 000 if thke ratio keeps up within 50 per cent of my reports.” National Committeeman Josephus Daniels at 11 o’ciock to-night says Bryan’s majority in the State approximates 15,000, anud he is absolutely safe; that the contest for Governor is not vet certain, but in- dications favor the election of Russell. 1t may take an official count to determine. The Populists have elected Congressmen in the Firet, Third, Fourth, S:xth and Seventh districts, the Democrats in the Fifth and Eighth. Republicans in the Second certain and in the Ninth probable. but the latter is in doubt. Settle R.1n the Fifth is defeated by 500. The Legislature will have 70 Re- vubricans, 50 Democrats and 50 Populists, The Demccratic State chairman predicts the election of Doughton D. for Congress in the Eighth District and has strong hopes of the election of Adams in the Ninth. The Republican State chairman says at 11 o'clock, upon latest electorsl returns, that it will take the official count to deter- mine between Bryan and McKinley. RS MISSOURI. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 4.—Chairman Cook of the Democratic Committee at 9:40 advanced the figure of th> majority for Bryan from 40,000 to 55,000. Nearly all the cities are complete. - The few country precinct returns received show small gains for the Democrats. Stephens for Gover. nor, against whom the Republicans worked hardest, suffered some, but in many places led his ticket. There will be almost a reversal in the potitical character of the Congressional delegation. Latest reports indicate the election of the following: First Distr'et, 8. P. Giles; Second, R. N. Bodin Third, A. M. Dockery; Fourth, George Crowther (R.); Fifth, W. 8. Cowherd; Sixth, D. A. de Armond; Seventh, John P. Tracy (R.); Eighth R. Bland; Ninth, Champ Clark; Tenth, Richard Bartholdt (R.); Eleventh, Charles F. Joy (R.); Twelfth, C. E. Pearce (R.); Thirteenth, Edward Rabb; Fourteenth, W. R. Vandiver; Fifteenth, M. E. Henton. But five of these, Crowther, Tracey, Bar- tholdt, Joy and Pearce, are Republicans. The Democrats bave a majority of over thirty on joint ballot in the State Legis- lature and will elect a successor to Senator Vest ILLINOIS, CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 4 —Returns from the State are coming in slowly, but bear out early estimates of a majority exceed- ing 100,000 for McKinley, with the vote for Governor running well up. In Chicago Tanner polied 30,000 less than the head of the ticket, but he ran ahead in many country districts and it is believed he will ‘ot be far behind McKinley when the re: turns are complete. The entire Cook County (Chicago) Republican ticket was elected. The tidal wave assures a Republican majority in both branches of thc State Legisiature, and in consequence a Repab- lican successor to Senator Palmer, the candidate for the Presidency on the Gold Demoeratic ticket. The Democrats have elected three and possibly four Congressmen. - Those elected are: Hinrichsen in the Sixteenth, Hunter in the Tenth and Jeha Baker in tne Twenty-first Congressional districts. In the Seventeenth Caldwell D. claims his election, and in the Third, after aclose race, Belknap R. defeated Darrow D. The Gold Democrat ticket polled less than the 2 per cent required by law to give it standing as a National party, and so has virtually passed out of existence. Both State and National headquarters were -| closed to-day. e TENNESSEE. " MEMPHIS, Tex~., Nov. 4—Tennessee is generally conceded to Bryan, but the gubernatorial election at this hour, 12:15 A. M., is exceedingly close between Taylor D. and Tillman R. Eacn side claims it ana the official count may be necessary. Congressional results are cer- tain to be: First District, W. P. Brown- 1ow R; Second, H. R. Gibson R.; Third, J. A. Moore D.; Fourth, Benton MeMil- l1an D.; Fifth, J. D. Richardson D.; Sixth, J. W. Gaines D.; Seventh, N. N. Cox D.; Eighth, T. W. Sims D.; Ninth, Rice A. Pierce D.; Tenth, E. W. Carmack. Inthe Tenth District Carmack, silver Democrat, has a majority over J. Patterson, gold Democrat, but the matter will be con- tested. 2 SOUTH DAKOTA. PIERRE, S. Dax., Nov. 4.—The returns rom South Dakota are exasperatingly slow and the indications are that the State has perhaps gone less than 1000 for either Bryan or McKinley. All the returns that have come in to-night show Bryan gains. Lawrence County, in the center of the Black Hills, has just reported a majority of 500 for Brvan. The Republicans had been claiming that county all day. A majority of the counties seem to have gone Populist and the Legislature appears at this hour to have a Populist majority. The incomplete returns now indicate that both Populist Congressmen are elected and probably the Populist State officers. It may take® official returns to decide Soutn Dakota. YANKTON, 8. Dak.,, Nov. 4—From present indications the Legislature will be very close on joint ballot and may possi- bly have a small majority for the silver- ites. Thirty-five thousand votes are yet to be received and it may be impossible to know the result in this State to-night. M NORTH DAKOTA. BISMARCK, N. Dik., Nov. 4—Enough is known to show that the State has gone for McKinley by at least 3000. The northern Populist counties have not come up with the expected Populist majorities. The Republicans have elected their State ticket by safe majorities and Johnson R. is re-elected to Congress by 3500. The Legislature is Republican by 20 on joint ballot. e OHIO. COLUMBTUS, Onio, Nov. 4.—Chairman Kuriz of the Republican State Executive Committee issued a bulletin to-night show- ing tbat 86 out of 88 counties of the State give Republican gains over the Republican plarality of last year of 12,450 and Demo- cratic gains of 50,632. Thisis a net Demo- cratic gain of 38.187 over the vote of last year, and shows a Republican plurality in the State of 54,440. Estimating the result in the cther two counties, Morrow and Stark, at 1500 piurality the Republicans’ electoral ticket in Ohio is 52,940. o NEW YORK. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4—Corrected returns from all counties in New York Stute give McKinley a plurality of 266,678. Only one county, Schoharie, was carried by Bryan. Careful revision of the returns for As- semblymen in the 150 districts in this State make little change in 'the list sent out by the United Associated Presses last night. The totals stand: 114 Republicans and 36 Democrats. Revision of New York City’s vote for President with four election districts mis ing: McKinley 153,950, Bryan 134,287, Palmer 5615, Mitchell (Soecialist Labor) 7304. McKinley’s majority over Bryan 19,663. Revision of the city's vote for Governor with eight election districts missing: Black R. 146,139, Porter D. 139,726, Griffin N.D. 8070, Balk 8. L. 8443. Black over Porter 6413, ——-—— WYOMING. CHEY ENNE, Wyo., Nov. 4—In sev- enty-six election precincts out of 295, Mc- Kinley gets 4178, Bryan 4317, a Demo- cratic gain 614. Congressional and judi- cial tickets are keeping pace with the electoral vote. No returns are in from Johnson or Crook counties, but both have Democratic indications. The entire Demo- cratic electoral. Congressional and State ticket will have a plurality of about 5000. Both parties now claim the electoral and Congressional votes of Wyoming. The Republican State Committee has returns from eleven of thirteen counties, and these, with estimates of the two remain- ing, indicate the election of Republican electors and Congressmen by pluralities of about 200. The Democratic State Com- nittee has returns from eleven couatics showing a Democratic majority of 504. A conservative view of the situation is that the State will be carried by less than 300 plurality, and complete returns from every county in the State will be necessary to determine which party will have this plurality. The State Legislature will be 40 Republicans, 16 Democrats on joint ballot. s et DELAWARE. WILMINGTON, Der, Nov. 4.—The outloook to-night is that the McKinley electors will have a plurality of over 2000. Some rural districts are still miss- ing, but the indicatious are that the Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature, which is to elect a Senator. Tannell D. for Governor and Handy (free silver D.) for Congress are elected. —_— OKLAHOMA. GUTHRIE, O. T., Nov. 4.—Returns from 18 of the 23 counties of the Territory give the free-silver fusion ticket increased strength over first reports and indicate the election of Calahan (silver) to Congress by 1000 majority. Both branches of the Legis- dature will pe controlled by the Democrats and a majority of the counties in tae Ter« ritory elected free-silver tickets. 31 R i WEST VIRGINIA. CHARLESTON, W. Vi, Nov. 4—Re- publicans claim the State by 15,000. The Democratic State Committee concedes it by 10,000. The delegation for Congress will be solidly Republican. Dorr’s ma- jority is placed at 3000. There will be 44 Republican members of the House of Delegates, with the Democrats claiming 27. The Republicans claim nine mem- bers of the Btate Senate, conceding the Demoerats four. As the Republicans have ten hold-over members of the State Senate, giving the Democrats three, this will give a Republican majority on joint bullot of 29, Fourteen counties give McKinley 14,000 plurality, indicative of 15,000 in the State. Dayton and Dovenor for Congress succeed themselves by majorities of 3000 each. Republicans now claim the State by 15,000. The Democratic State Committee coucedes it by 10,000. The delegation in Congress will be solidly Republican. Dorr’s majority is placed at 3000. There will be44 Republican members of the House of Delegates, with the Demo- crats claiming 37. The Republicans will elect 9 members of the State Senate, con- ceding the Democrats 4. The Republicans have 10 holdover Senators and the Demo- crats 3, this giving a Republican majority on joint ballot of i A UTAH. SALT LAKE, Uran, Nov, 4—The Leg- islature in this State stands: Democrats 58, Populists 3 and Republicans 2 on joint ballot, all for free silver. The Democratic, silver Republican and Populist fusion on the Bryan electors polled approximately 60,000 votes znd the McKinley electors 15,000. The Palmer-Buckner electors re- ceived only afew scattering votes. Prob- ably 33 per cent of the Bryan vote comes from the silver Repubticans. The Popu- list vote is insigniticant. One of the fu- sion electors is for Bryan and Watson and the other two for Bryan and Sewall. The vote for King, D., is about 47,000; %lbrook. R., 27,000, and Foster, Pop., Judge Powers has resigned the State chairmanship of the Democratic party and is the favorite for United States Sen- ator to succeed Senator Brown. KENTUCKY. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 5—2:30 A. M.— -Republican Secretary Leiberth claims Ken- tucky for McKinley by 2500. Democratic gzoiagirman Johrston claims it for Bryan by The Courier-Journal's returns, with 29 precincts missing, give McKinley a plural- ity of 1204. Evan Settle’s majority over Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge for Congress in the Seventh District is about 1400. The Courier-Journal says: In the first ten districts Bryan leads McKinley by 11,813. The Eleventh District is expected to give McKinley 14,000 plurality. Returns from the Eleventh District with Leslie County missing, and also three precincts in Bell, two in Clay, one in Letcher and three in Perry, give McKinley 1926 plurality. Kentucky Congressmen elected: First District, Wheeler S:il. D.;» Second, Clarey S8il. D.; Third, Rhea Sil. D. Pop., may be contested; Fourth, Smith Sil. D.; Fifth, Evans R.; Sixth, Berry Sil. D.; Seventh, Settle Sil. D.; Eighth, Davison R.; Ninth, Pugh R.; Tenth, Fitzpatrick 8il. D.; Eleventh, Colson R. R TEXAS. HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. 4—Latest esti- mates place Bryan’s plurality in Texas over 160,000, and Culberson’s D. for Gov- ernor 80,000. All the Democratic candi- dates for Congress are elected. They are: First District, Ball; Second Cooper; Third, De Graffenrein; Fourth, Crawford; Fiffh, Bailey; Bixth, Burke; Seveuth, Henry; Eightn, Lanham; Ninth, Sayers; Tenth, -Shelburne; Eleventh, Kleburg; Twelfth, Slayden; Thirteenth, Stevens. The returns are coming in slowly. —_————— MONTANA. BUTTE, Moxt., Nov. 4.—Fall returns in Montana have not yet been receivea, but the cities and largest counties are in, and bear out estimates previously sent out. Bryan’s majority will be about 18,000. Hartman, for Congress, ran considerably behind Bryan, but his majority is large, The entire State fusion ticket is elected, and the Democrats will have a majority 1 both branches of the Legisiature. pe o L FLORIDA. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Nov. 4—Prac- tically complete returns from Florida show that the State has gone for Bryan by about 9000. In the First Congressional District 8. M. Parkman (Silver D.) is re- elected by about 7000 plurality. In the Second District Robert W. Davis (Silver D.) is elected by about a plurality of 4000. A <E S OREGON. PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 4.—Complete fizures from only six out of thirty-two counties have been heard from. A nearly compiete count from all but six counties zive 34,954 for McKinley and 31,709 for Bryan. McKinley's majority is 3243. The canvass of Portland and Muitnomah County, a Repuolican stronghold, was completed to-day. The total vote for Me- Kinley is 11,832, Bryan 6454. The vote for Palmer and Buckner in this State is running very light, and Sec- retary Wells of the State League of Re- publican Clubs estimates this evening that the gold-standard men will not poll much over 500 votes in the State. The Oregonian, the leading Republican organ of the Northwest, acknowledges credit is dve to the gold-standard Demo- crats for McKinley’s majority, for had they not voted with the Republicans Bryan would probably have carried the State. Practically complete returns from 26 out of the 32 counties in Oregon give McKin- ley 84,954, Bryan 81,700. McKinley’s Ma- jority in the Btate, 3248. Estimated returns from the other six counties, which are small, do not mate- rially alter these figures. The City of Portland complete gives Mc- Kinley 5354 majorit. st T S VIRGINIA. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 4—The latest returns indicate a plurality of from 18,000 to 20,000 for Bryan. The Democrats elect their Congressmen in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eignbth districts. The Ninth 18 conceded to the Republicans by about 1500 hl’bflly. The Tenth is very close, both sides claim- ing it ———— BIG WAGES FOR BRYAN. Offered $25,000 a Year to Manage a iaw Department. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov, 4—The fol- lowing telegram was sent to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln to-day: “To Hon. William J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebr.: You have so thoroughly demon- strated your ability in the political cam- paign that we would like to know if you would accept an offer of twenty-five thou- sand dollars ($25,000) a year to manage a law department in our store. “B1eaEL-Coorrr COMPANY, “HENRY S1EGFL, President. MAJOR MKINLEY'S SWEEPING VICTORY Continued from First Page. us fourteen votes to get to elect Mr. Bryan. Liiher Michigan or Indiana will give us these votes. Reports from each of these States show that we have probably earried Indiana and have the best chance to win both. We cannot tell yet whether we will win either. “We are perfectly justified in claiming the election of Mr. Bryan, and I believe the temper of the people is such that they will not submit to being beaten by tricks and fraud. The statements made in the pavpers that I have given up the fight and conceded McKinley's election show a de- liberate attempt to create a false public sentiment; to make the people believe McKinley’s election is accomplished and acquiesced in. I bave not for a moment acquiesced in his election and will not until material returns change the present situation. On the present showing I claim Mr. Bryan's election, as I believe Indiana and vrobably Michigan have been carried for Bryan, and if either has Mr. Bryan is elected.” e IO THEY DID NOT PARADE. Sliverites Cause Chicago Police Force to Be Called Out. CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 4.—Reports cir- culated shortly after 6 o'clock to-night that Bryan had been elected caused con- siderable excitement in Chicago and at many places large crowds gathered. At the Auditorium three or four hundred people assembled early and preparations were made to parade -the downiown streets. A verbal permit was given the silver men to marcih by Chief of Police Badencch, before he went home to dinner and on this the parade was organized. Just about the time t' e start was to have been made some one telephoned a mes- sage to the Central police station, the vurport of which cannot be learned from the sergeant who received it, noris the sender’s name known. In about an hour Chief of Police Badenoch came in hastily and in a short time Mayor Swift came to the City Hall in resronse to a telephone message. It developed later that the Chief had called out the entire police force of the city and a few minutes aiter his arrival at the City Hall he dispatched three wagon-loads of detectives to the Audi- torium. Here the men were placed out- side the doors of the big hotel and its annex to prevent any trouble that might arise. Two or three hundred men were held in readiness at the Central station to answer any calls that might be made, but their services were not required. On orders two officers tore down some posters in front of the ofiice of the Dispatch, the iree silver afternoon paper, and remained on duty there until a large crowd which had been gathered there for some time dispersed. The police refuse tosay who sent in the request for extra officers. MAY COST ONE VOTE. The Same Name on Different Tickets Causes Confusion. WILMINGTON, Den, Nov. 4.—James G. Shaw, one of the McKinley candidates for elector, was on both the Republican and Union Republican tickets. On the Union Republican ticket in Newcastle County *‘Sr.” was added to his name. Many of the election officers gave James G. Shaw the votes, keeping tally only on the head of the Republican ticket. Others kept a tally for both names and so made returns. To what extent this has been done cannot develop until the official count on Thursday. Then much will de- pend on the action of the board of can- vass. If the intent of the voters is to be taken, Snaw will be given the entire vote, but if an attempt is made to show that two men were really voted for it may re- sult in losing one vote for McKinley. SEa g iy SMALL STREET RIOT. Bryan Soreheads Are Quick to Show Their Teeth. LINCOLN, Nesr., Nov. 4—A small election riot occurred this afternoon in front of the Democratic headquarters on Nioth street. A large crowd of Bryan supporters were receiving bulletins when acrowd of several hundred Republicans, headed by a university glee club, at- tempted to force a way through the crowd. Fisticuffs were indulged in, the windows of the headquarters building smashed, but there were no fatal or serious injuries. The riot was soon quelled for sheer lack of space in which to fizht. There is much excitement in this city on account of its being Bryan’s home, and he has many warm friends here who are willing to resent any slight cast on him. et o i VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE. Newspapers Rejolce In the Over- throw of Anarchism. CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 4.—The Tribune in a leader this morning sums up the sit- uation as foilows: The East, as was ex- pected, went solidly for McKinley. The Middle West has repudiated Altgeldism and the silver heresy, and presents a solid front to the enemy. Iilinois’ magnificent majority is nearly equaled by lowa and Wisconsin, while Minnesota and Indiana have done nobly. Kentucky and Mary- land are undoubtedly Republican. West Virginia seems to be safe for KcKinley, and Tennessee is claimed for the Republi- can ticket. Delaware is Republican, and the Republican fusion ticket in Texas may have worked the greatest wonder of all, and taken the Lone Star State from the Democratic column. This would give McKinley at least ten more votes. It is doubtful how the other five wounld vote, Bryan’s own State, North and South D: kota are probably Republican. Missouri has been true to its traditions and cast plurality of its votes for Bryan. Kansas is claimed by the Republicans, but the re- turns are slower in coming in. The Rocky Mountain States go for silver of course. California is close, with the chances favoring McKinley. Oregon is true to Republicanism. Owing to the unusually large number of doubtful States it is impossible to give the result with entire exactness at this hour. But it is sufficient to know that even should Bryan carry every State con- cerning which there is now any doubt he would yet be far short of 2 majority of the electoral vote. McKinley’s election is be- yond the danger point, The Tribune this morning comments editorially upon the resalt of the election as follows: William McKinley has been elected by an overwhe!ming majority and the anxiety of all patriotic hearts gives place to a joy too profound for expression. Itis not onity a victory, but one so com- plete and decisive as to answer the fervent prayers of loyal men. Bryan, Bryanism, Altgeldism, the free-silver conspiracy and the deep plots of anarchists are all buyied under an avalanthe of ballots. Thére have been few grander moments in the history of self-government than this, To- day the whole Nation rises by the reading on its own mistakes and its own most dangerous tendencies and joins none more heartily than many who contributed to the error. The people will not fail to honor first of all William McKinley himseli, whose statesmanship and lofty patriotism have been not more conspicuous than his wise leadership. But above all it is the victory of the people, who have gnce more shown, with startling disiinctness, their capacity and, therefore, their right to govern them- selves. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The Times says: We had three years of silver panic and business depression. We have given three months to Bryan. Capital has been frightened, enterprise benumbed, indus- try paralyzed. Now that we have utterly annihilated Bryan and 16 to 1, let every- body pluck,up courage and get to work. A seasor of prosperity richer than any in sound. sense -of the American people recognized in time the dangers to which they would pe exposed by the iree coin= age of silver. ‘The Freissinnige Zeitung asserts that the victory of the supporters of sound money is a triumph of the sound sense of the people of the United States. The Cologne Gazette says: The condi- tions which brought McKinley to his present position may prevent him from relapsing into his former sins. If the Senate and House of Representatives paraiyza sach other's action on the tariff and silver questions he will be the right man. The best thing for him and for the country will be that re play a negative role as President as he did when he was Governor of Onio. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., Nov. 4—The election of McKinley pives general satis- faction here, as it is believed to.be the the country’s history lies before us. It| best resuit of the campaign for both coun- should be entered upon with . zeal and confidence, but in the sober, industrious spirit of sensible people. 1t is no time for erazy booms or speculative kite-flying. Itis atime for hard work and business skill and judgment and for push and en- terprise in all legitimate fields. The American people are tired of hard times. They want good times. It will go ill with anybody who stands in the way of their enjoying them. The Sun says: The full dimensions of the victory won yesterday by the Ameri- can people cannot be measured exactly at the present time of writing; that itisas tremendous, as sweeping and as conclusive as the occasion demands is manifest. The country has repudiated the repudiators; has warned the promoters of revolution to keep their hands off our institutions and Las voted to mamntain untarnished the Nation’s honor by one of the most impressive demonstrations of honest and patriotic sentiment ever witnessed in our history. It is no man’s victory. Itisno pariy’s victory. Under divine providence it is the American people's triumphant assertion of eternal principles of right and truth. LONDON, Exa., Nov. 4.—The'Star in an article under the caption ‘‘The United States Repudiates Currency Juggling” says: Itiscrditable to the American de- mocracy that they fastened ipon the para- tries. Great excitement was manifested here last night over the aefeat of Bryan. — SOMEWHAT REASSURED. But Mr. Bryan Knows There Is Not a Shadow of Hopa. LINCOLN, NeBr., Nov. 4.—The scene at the Bryar residence to-night was much the same ‘as it was last eveming. Mr. Bryan, who left the house only once during the day and then to attend the funeral of a neighbor, did not remain up- stairs as he did last night, but came down into the library to receive the returns. Some of the bulletins that came in were of a reassuring character, and the Demo- cratic candidate plainly showed by his mannuer that he felt more encouraged. A number of friends who had held aloof yesterday and to-day dropped in and chatted pleasantly with him. Mrs. Bryan also helped entertain the visitors. Like ber hushand she seemed in good spirits, Many of the telephone messages from friends and supporters concerning the re- sult were answered by Mr. Bryan per- sonally. He talked very conservatively, incicating in his replies to these inquiries that official counts in some States might be necessary to determine the result. Aprtpegrd 'y Excitement in Cincinnatl. CINCINNATI, Onio, Nov.4.—The great- est excitement exists in this city over the election situation to-night. At 10 o’clock an immense crowd packed in the streets in front of the Enquirer office, where bul- letins from the Democratic National head- guarters are being displayed. The late returns have revived hope in he breasts of the disheartened Democrats, and they. are filling the air with their shouts. . A procession a block in length, headed by a brass band, is parading the streets through the rain, cheering for Bryan. mount issue, disregarding all others. The St. James Gazette says: Behind the silver movement ti:ere was undoubtedly a feeling of popular discontent with the established order of things which is likely to become more desperate through defeat. Indeed it looks more like the beginning tl of agreat social and economic struggle than the end. The Pall Mall Gazette says: The decis- ionrof the American electors will be uni- versally accepted as most crediiable, and implies that the democracy when con- fronted with vital issues will rally in reality and repudiate shams.
