The voting everywhere was phenome
nally heavy, especially so iu the
doubtful states.
The Republican majority in the
electoral college will be greater than
it was in 189G.
Practically - complete returns from
all the states give McKinley 284
electoral votes and Bryan 163.
Four years ago McKinley had 271
and Bryan 176.
Tho two states about which there
seems to be doubt are Kentucky and
Nebraska.
The Republicans made very strong
claims to Nebraska,but the Democrats
feel confident is is safely Democratic,
though the plurality will be small.

TWO CLOSE STATES
Result of Election In Kentucky

Ami Are Hopeful,
A special of Wednesday from Omaha
; Electi n returns in Nobraska
l to be .watched .... koenly.
flr0 so c 08G a3
Chairman Lindsey, for the Itepnbli
pa ns, claim that McKinley carried the
state by 7,000 or more,the Republican
state ticket wins by 5,000 to 7,000, and
that the Republicans have a majority
of seventeen iu the legislature.
Against this the Democrats claim
that Bryan carried the state, though
by a narrow margin of perhaps not
more than a thousand; that fusion lias
a safe working majority in the legisla
ture, that fusion state officers are
elected by three to five thousand. The
legislature Will 1)6 ill doubt Until Com
plete returns are in. Indications are
that it will be fusion by a small ma
jority. Both parties are claiming the
i ead ou joint ballot. Committeeman
Democratic National
Dahlman states that tho Nebraska log
islature will be fusion by eleven ms
jority; that the fusion state ticket is
elected by about 5,000 majority, and
that the Bryan electors win by 1,500.
Republicans are inclined to concede
the legislature ou the face of tho
present returns, but they allege fraud
j D Douglass county, Omaha, and will
contest. contest. So far the returns show
gains in the legislature of sixteen
members for the fusionists over two
• years a"o.
one stoiiy in Kentucky.
A Louisville special says: At 1:30
Thursday morning, with returns from
all but sixty-two out of 1,884 precincts
in Kentucky, The Courier-Journal puts
Bryans majority . at 7,784 and i u J eck
ham s at 4,008. i lie missing sixly-two
precincts are about evenly divided be
‘ween Democrat and .epu) leans.

headquarters, said. I

Leslie Combs, chairman of the Iie
^ .
i i W’e still believe Air. Yerkes haa
been elected by a majority of 3,000
votes. Our figmes show that McKin
Icy has run 900 votes behind Yerkes.
At least 3,000 Republican ballots have
not yet been counted in certain coun
ties, and these w’ill increase the Re
publican vote. We also claim the
election of four Republican cougress
men, namely, Boreiug in the eleventh
district, Irwin in the fifth, McKeu
:;io Moss iu the third and Hopkins in
the tenth. We are also of the opinion
that Sam J. Pugh has been elected
over Kehoe iu the ninth district.”
Independent voters chargo that the
Republicans aro holding back the ro
turns iu the eleventh district, and that
the Democrats have done likewise in
the first, the Republican and Demo
waiting for the other side to make a
showdown, and that ib responsible for
the delay in ascertaining the result.
REPlJBLICA - NS H AYR HOUSE,
Indication* are That They Will Have SOJ
Members anti the Democrats li>5.
The control of tho national house
of representatives goes with tho pres
ideney. Tho roster of new member^
of the popular branch of congress
shows that the Republicans were more
successful Tuesday than their highest
estimates. While tho returns are not
complete in all the districts, tho indi
cations are that the Republicans wil[
have 202 members, while their oppo
nents will have but 155. The official
vete may make a difference in a few
of the close districts, but it now looks
as if Speaker Henderson will have a
working majority of 47—certainly not
mncU less than that
