TWO CLOSE STATES Result of Election In Kentucky And Nebraska Is Speculative. g()J|| SIRES ARE MAKING CLAIMS Democrats Seem to Have Until Stales, llut ilepuhlicatta Have Not t'oneeflnvi 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. Governor Beckham, at Democratic headquarters, said. I ^ am absolutely certain that f ia Y e ljeen e l ft(, ted ^'® r ° or * ™ a jority of between o,000 and 10,0)' votes.” 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 _ ( , ovorn mcut Receipts and Expenditures Government receipts: From internal r0Ve nne, *338,710; customs, 3227,369; miscellaneous,«3B5,203; expenditures $1,080,000.
