NEW YOItK.
New York, Nov. 7. —The indications
are that President McKinley has car
ried New York state by 150,000 major
ity over Bryan. The total vote in the
city of New York is approximately
00,000 larger than it was in lsoc and
up the state the increase is about .50,-
000. In the city Bryan wiped out the
plurality of 00,000 which McKinley
had four years ago and took on a
plurality for himself of about 25,000.
iTp the state McKinley barely held
the vote which he had in 1896, the
added vote going to lirvun. The vote
lor B. B. Odell, republican nominee
for governor, is considerably larger
than that for McKinley. In Brook
lyn, particularly, the democratic
nominee for governor, Mr. Stanch
field, appears to have been scratched.
Auburn, Nov. 7.—This city complete
McKinley 4,142, Bryan 2,80 m. Ko r
governor, Odell 4,047, Stanchlield
2,923.
Oswego, Nov. 7. —Bryan carries Os
wego by 144.
Elmira.—Elmira city complete gives
McKinley 4.198, Bryan 4,370. For gov
ernor. Odell 3,872, Stanchlield 4,65j,
Poughkecpsie.—City complete: Ale-
Kinley 3,545, Bryau 2.208.
Returns from all but :>'i2 districts
cut of 3,124 in New York state out
side of Greater New ork give Mc-
Kinley a majority of 145,*97. Returns
from all but 122 out of the 1,522 dis
tricts in Greater New York give Bry
hn a majority of 27,331.
New York, Nov. 8. —The official re
tui ns as received are not materially
changing the result and McKinley's
plurality remains approximately 145,-
000 in tiie state. John 11. Stanchlield,
the democratic nominee for governor,
ran ahead of his party's presidential
electors, but Odell's plurality still re
mains about 100,000.
The congressional delegation will
stand 21 republicans and 13 dem
ocrats, a republican gain of live. 1 Sol li
houses of the stale legislature are
republican by a large plurality, but a
number of tin- districts are close and
it may require the official count to
decide in some cases.
OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. 7. —McKinley's plu
rality in the city of Columbus is esti
mated at about 2,950.
Republican State Chairman Charles
Dick has given out the following
: tatement:
"Returns received justify the claim
that Ohio has given McKinley a plu
rality of from 75.000 to 80,000 and the
election of 17 and possibly 18 out of
the 21 congressmen, being a gain ol
two and probably three members of
congress."
The following congressmen have
been elected:
First district —William B. Shattuc,
li.
Second—Jacob H. Rromwell, R.
Fourth —Robert B. Gordon, D.
Fifth —John S. Snook. I).
Sixth—C. O. Tlildebrand, R.
Seventh —Thomas 1). Kyle, 11.
Tenth—Stephen Morgan, R.
Eleventh —Charles H. (irosvenor, R.
Congress: Fourteenth district,
Wood W. Skiles, republican, elected.
Sixteenth district, Joseph G. Gill,
republican, elected.
Seventeenth district, John Cassing
ham, democrat, elected.
Eighteenth district, Robert W. Ta.y
ler, republican, elected.
Sixty precincts outside of Hamil
ton, Franklin, Cuyahoga and Lucas
counties give McKinley 11,562, Bryan
'),090. Same in 1896: McKinley 11,684,
Bryan 9,970.
Zanesville, Nov. 7. —Congress: In
the Fifteenth district Van Voorhis,
lepublican, is elected.
Findlay, Nov. 7. —Congress: War
neck. republican, is elected in tl»c
Eighth district.
Toledo, Nov. 7. —Congress, Ninth
district: Southard, republican, elect
ed.
Toledo is carried by McKinley by
2,000.
Canton, Nov. 7. —President McKin
ley received the election returns at
his home, surrounded by a large
number of his old friends and neigh
bors, including many ladies who came
as the guests of Mrs. McKinley.
Columbus, Nov. 8. —Democratic State
Chairman Long had no statement to
give out last night. Republican State
Chairman Dick said: "Unofficial re
t urns received from 84 of the 8S
counties warrant the claim of 70,000
for McKinley and we elect 17 of the
21 members of congress, a gain of
t wo."
The estimates on the four missing
counties make the plurality about
'3.000, or a net republican srain of
about 22.000 over the vote of 1596.
The republicans gained in <"7 counties
and the democrats in 11, most of the
democratic gains being in Cleveland,
Cincinnati and Toledo. The largest
previous plurality for president in
Ohio was 60,000 for Lincoln.
The total vote in Ohio was about
1,100,000, the largest ever cast in the
state, and the vote for minor parties
was smaller than usual. The repub
licans carried all of the close or
doubtful congressional districts,
electing Jacob A. Beidler in the Twen
tieth by lefcs than 500; Robert M.
Nevin in the Third by 121 and F.m
mett Tompkins in the Twelfth by 16.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 8. —A plurality of
anywhere from 28,000 to 32.000 for the
republican national ticket; the elec
tion of Col. W. T. Durbin, rep., to the
governorship; the election of the en
tire state and Marion county republi
can ticket, nine and perhaps ten out
of 13 congressmen and the election of
a legislature that will have a republi
can majority of 40 on joint ballot is a
summary of the battle at the polls in
Indiana. An unexpected development
is the fact, that the republicans made
their strongest gains in democratic
strongholds. In seven heretofore
strongly democratic strongholds Mc-
Kinley and the state ticket showed a
greater ratio of gain than was shown
by the figures from several strong re
publican counties.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, Nov. 8. —W 7 est Virginia
has gone republican by from J2.000
to 15,000 majority. The entire state
ticket is elected. The congressional
delegation is solidly republican, as
follows:
First district —Dovener, rep., 4,000
majority.
Second —Dayton, rep., 2,000 major
itv.
Third —Gaines, rep., 2,500 majority.
Fourth —Hughes, rep., 2,500 niajo'r
ity.
The legislature is republican in
both branches, 20 to 25 majority on
joint ballot, insuring the re-election
yf Senator Elkina.
ILLINOIS.
Chicago. Nov. 7. —An election was
held Tuesday In the so-called "Dis
trict of Lake Michigan," a portion of
the lake front claimed by ('apt.
George VV. Streeter, over which there
has Leeii much contention with the
city authorities. Streeter was elected
district representative by his follow
ers and declares that on March 4 he
will go before the committee on privi
leges and elections of the national
house of representatives and that he
will endeavor to be seated as the le
gitimate representative of the ''dis
trict." in congress.
The total vote of this city was: Me-
Kin ley 150,970, Bryan 172,524, Wool ley
,'.,335, Delis 0,022, Barker 189, Maloney
295, KM is 90.
Chicago, Nov. 9. -Complete uiiolli
eial returns from the state show the
total vote for presiiTent to have been:
McKinlcy 5')3,023, Bryan 497,930; plu
rality 95,093. The plurality of Yates,
rep., for governor, is (15,114.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 7. McKinlcy has
carried Maryland beyond the shadow
of a doubt, the only question to be
settled being the size of his majority,
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco. Nov. 7. —The returns
from this city and the state at large
indicate that California has gone re
publican by 10,000 to 15,000. The re
publicans will elect live congressmen.
PENNSYH \NV\.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—Congress: Al
large, Galusha A. Grow (rep.) and

Twenty-fifth—J. R. Showaiter, R.
Twenty-seventh—Joseph Sibley, R.
Twenty-eighth—J. K. P. Hall, D.
Estimates from one-half of the
counties in Pennsylvania indicate a
plurality for McKinley of over 200,000.
in this city the fusion of the demo
crats with the Municipal league cut
down the republican county ticket,
but J. H. Moore, for city treasurer,
and Jacob Singer, for register of
wills, are elected by more than 50,000
plurality.
Philadelphia, NOT. 8. —Returns from
the senatorial ;ind legislative districts
if Pennsylvania indicate that M. S.
Quay will have not less than 145 votes
on joint ballot for United States sen
ator, 17 more than the number neces
sary to elect. Of the 204 members of
the house the democrats have elected
?ess than 50, as against vl two years
ago. The anti-Quay republicans will
probably not muster over 50 votes of
the 256 on joint ballot.
Compltte but unoilicial returns give
McKinley 287,7.56 plurality in Pennsyl
vania.
KANSAS.
Topeka, Nov. 7.—At midnight Chair
man Albaugh, of the republican state
committee, said: "Returns already in
indicate that the state wiil give Mc-
Kinley over 30,000 plurality; that a
solid republican congressional delega
tion will be elected, that the legisla
ture will be republican on joint bal
lot and that the republican slate tick
et will be elected by 25,000 plurality."
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. 8. —Returns from the
state give McKinley a plurality of
90,858 and Col. A. T. Bliss, the repub
lican candidate for governor, 69,059.
Col. Hllss is running about 20,000 be
hind his ticket and Mayor Maybury,
ilie democratic gubernatorial candi
date, is a corresponding number
ahead of his ticket. In 189G McKin
ley's plurality in Michigan was 56,170.
'lot. Pingree ran 20,000 ahead of the
republican ticket that year, gettting
a plurality of 75,107.
The republicans have increased
their majority in the legislature on
oint ballot by seven. The democrats
have elected none of their senatorial
candidates and only 11 out of the 100
representatives in the lower house.
Senator James McMillan's re-election
by the next legislature is a certainty.
The entire Michigan congressional
delegation is republican by largely
increased majorities in most of the
district.
UTAH.
Salt Lake, Nov. B.—Returns are in
from about three-quarters of the pre
cincts in the state. McKinley's ma
jority is 4,500; Wells, rep., for gover
nor, has a majority of 2,000, and Suth
erland, rep., for congress, leads King
by 1,600 majority. The senate will
stand nine republicans to nine demo
crats. The republicans elect 2S rep
resentatives and the democrats 17,
making a republican majority of 11
on joint ballot.
MAINE.
Portland, Nov. 7. —Returns from 50
cities and towns give Bryan 7,871, Mc-
Kinley 12,403. Same nlaces in 1896:
Bryan 6,155, McKinley 14,705. This is
a republican net loss of 16 per cent,
and democratic net gain of 24 per
cent.
WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Nov. 7.—Returns from
the state are coming in slowly. Will
be some hours before the result is
known, but indications thus far are
that the state is safe for McKinley
and congressmen by 2,000.
NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Nov. 7.—The city of Lin
coln gives McKinley a majority of
1,602, a gain of 555 over 1896.
Precinct A, of the Fifth \yard, (Bry
an's) precinct: McKinlcy 2'is, Bryan
105.
Omaha, Nov. 9.—Complet returns
from two-thirds of thee unties in
Nebraska and scattering returns from
the balance show that McKinley hag
carried Nebraska by u plurality of at
'east 2,000. An equal number of re
turns 011 the state ticket indicate that
Nebraska has re-elected Gov. Poyn
ter and the entire fusion state ticket
by pluralities ranging from 500 to
1,800 over the republicans, the {.'over
nor being 1 high man. If the balance
of the state shall show the same per
centage of gain and loss, Poynter's
election is certain and the counties
to be heard from being inostlj in the
western part of the state, it is fair to
presume that this is the case.
TEXAS.
Houston, Nov. 8.- The first estimate
of IT"> 000 majority for the democratic
ticket in Texas is about correct, ai
indicated by Ihe returns so far re
ceived. The only republican congress
man from Texas has been replaced by
a democrat and the delegation will be
solid. The legislature is entirely
democratic.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, Nov. 7. —Returns from
Wisconsin, though comparatively few,
show, when compared with the vote
of four years ago, that McKinley has
carried the state by a large plurality,
equal, if not to exceed the figures
1806, which were 102.612.
MONT A.\ \.
Helena, Nov. B.—Full returns of the
voting in this state show inr.t Bryan's
plurality will be from 15,000 to 18,000,
and Gov. Toole lei.ds the democratic
state ticket with from 6,000 to 8.000
votes to spare. The legislature which
will elect two United Males senators
is democratic from 15 to 20 votes oil
joint ballot and will undoubtedly re
elect W. A. Clark and another demo
crat to succeed Carter and till the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Senator C.'ark last.session.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, Nov. !).—The democratic
state central committee claims Mis
souri for Bryan and for Dockery for
governor by pluralities of about 45,-
COO and 35,000 respectively. The coun
ties still to be heard from may de
velop some surprises, but it is not
thought that these estimates will be
materially changed. Chairman Aik
ins, of the republican state commit
tee, concedes 25,000 plurality for
Dockery and 40,000 for Bryan.
COLORADO. >
Denver, Nov. ?. —The polls did not
close in Denver until 7 p. m.and up
to 9 o'clock no precinct had reported
its full vote. The count of straight
ballots in a few precincts indicates
that Bryan will carry the city by
from 6.C00 to 10,000.
Returns indicate that Bryan's plu
rality in the state will be from 30,000
to 40,000,
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9. —With re
nin is from all but 30 out of 1,884 pre
cincts in Kentucky, the Courier
.lournal puts Bryan's majority at
S.OOO and Beckham's at 5,000. The
missing precincts have been taken
into account in this result. The re
publicans now claim that majorities
will be shown for McKinley and Yer
kes when the returning board can
vasses the vote at Frankfort, which it
will do three weeks from election day.
The returning board is democratic
and the legislature is also democratic.
The Louisville Commercial, rep.,
says the election is "very close." It
will not concede the defeat of Yerkes
and the McKinley electors and says
that the official count only can deter
mine the result.
Frankfort, Nov. 9. —Chairman
Combs, of the republican state cam
paign committee,is quoted as follows:!
"While we have not the figures
thoroughly compiled, yet we are cer
tain that Mr. Yerkes carried Ken
lucky by a small majority.
"The result is very close. I tiling
that it will probably require the offi
cial count to determine how the stata
goes.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Fargo, Nov. 8. —The republican plu
rality in this state will be from 10,000
to 12,000. There is no doubt about
the election of all the state ticket and
congressmen, and there have beeu
large legislative gains.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Nov. 7. —Virginia's ma
jority in favor of Bryan is apparently
about 20,000. The majorities on the
congressional ticket will aggregate
more than this. The indications are
that certainly nine and probably all
of the democratic candidates for con
gress are elected.
CONNECTICUT.
New Haven, Nov. 7.—State Chair
man Thayer, of the democratic com
mittee, concedes defeat for the na
tional ticket in Connecticut, but says
he believes Judge Bronson, for gover
nor, will carry the state by a small
majority.
lie claims the election of Oliver
Gildcrsleeve for congress, but may re
i'se his claims after hearing from tha
cities.
OREGON.
Portland, Nov. 7.-—One hundred and
sixty-seven precincts out of 772 in
Oregon, including the city of Port
land, give McKinley 15,678, Bryan
8,755. If the same ratio is maintained,
McKinley will have a plurality of 20,-
000 in the state.
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, Nov. 7.—Latest returns
from the different counties in the
state indicate that McKinley's plural
ity is 55,000. The next legislature
will stand as follows: Senate —Re-
publican 17, democrat 4. Assembly—*
Republican 45, democrat 15.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul, Nov. B.—The only point
unsettled in the Minnesota election is
the contest over the governorship.
Everything else has gone republican
by majorities so large there is no
possibility of change. Tains Bixby,
chairman of the republican state
committee, figures 8,i04 plurality for
Van Sant. while Chairman Rosing, of
the democratic committee, from tha
figures reported to him, foots up 12,-
; 000 plurality for Lind. The present
