The latest returns show that McKin-

The President has again been suc-
cessful in every State which he won in
1896 except Kentucky, which has
turned to the Democratic column. In
addition, he has carried Kansas, South

His clectoral vote is 282 and Bryan's

New York.
In Greater New York the Democrat
fc majority was inadequate to ecoun-
terbalance that furnished by the up-
State counties for the Republican na-
tional ticket.
Bryan carried every borough of the
greater city with the exception of}
Breoklyn, which gave the Republican |
ticket a majority of 2400. Below the
Brenx a majority of about 31,000 was
given for Bryan, while the State
side the greater city gave to McKinley
from 150,000 to 180,000, assuring him
a net majority in this State of not les:
than 120,000.
