[President-Elect of the United States.]
row one, a much narrower one than
was looked for as the result of earlier
dispatches. The following electoral
votes are conceded to McKinley: Con
necticut, 6; Illinois, 24; lowa, 13;
Maine, 6; Massachusetts, 15; Maryland,
8; Michigan. 14; Minnesota, 9; New
Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New
York, 36; Ohio, 28; Pennsylvania, 32;
Rhode Island, 4; Vermont, 4; Wiscon
sin, 13. Total, 220.
The three votes of North Dakota ap
parently belong to McKinley and the
same may be said of the three votes of
Oregon and the 13 of Kentucky, but in
all other cases the returns are too inade
quate to justify a definite conclusion.
The following votes are conceded to
Bryan: Alabama, 12; Arkansas, 8; Col
orado, 4; Florida. 4; Georgia. 13; Idaho,
55; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri,
17; Montana, 3; Nevada, 3; South Caro
lina, 9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15; Utah,
3; Virginia, 13. Total, 135.
Nothing but the most meagre and
scattering reports have been received
from California, 9 electoral votes, Kan
sas. 10, Wyoming, 3, and Washington,
4, so neither party can as yet claim
these states.
North Carolina, with its 11 votes, is
claimed by both sides, but has probably
gone for Bryan, as also has South Car
olina and its nine votes.
The situation, therefore, may be re
duced to this: Certain for McKinley,
220; almost certain for McKinley, 18;
indications for McKinley, 35.
Certain for Bryan, 135; probably for
Bryan, 123; doubtful, 26.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Nov. 4.—Kentucky seems
safe for McKinley, though the majority
is close. In 1.265 precincts out of 1,663,
his plurality is 3,506.
The counties not heard from are: Les
lie, Fiord. Johnson, Knott, Magoffin, !
Pike, Butler. Greenup, Harrison, Jack
son, Owen and part of Henry.
These include some strong Republi
can as well as some strong silver coun
ties, but the heavy Republican gains
everywhere seem to make the state safe
for McKinley, although the result is
close.
Taking the estimate of the missing
counties, made several days ago by
Chairman Sommers of the Democratic
committee. the McKinley majority of
the missing vote is 1.235. This would
give the state to McKinley by 4.744.
The Democrats have elected six out
of 11 congressmen. They are Charles
K. Wheeler. First district; J. D. Clardy,
re-elected. Second district; John S.
Rhea. Third district; David Smith,
Fourth district: Albert S. Berry, re
elected. Sixth district; Thomas Y. Fitz
patrick. Tenth district.
The Republicans have Walter Evans,
re-elected. Fifth district: Thomas Pugh,
Ninth district; B. M. Davison, Eighth
district, and David G. Colson, Eleventh
district. The result in the Twelfth be
tween W. C P. Breckinridge and E. E.
Settle is yet in doubt
The Republicans will have a majority
in the general assembly, thus assuring
the return of a United States senator to
succeed Senator J. C. S. Blackburn.
S. R. Crumbaugh (Rep.) succeeds
Senator J. I. Landes as senator from
Christian and Hopkins counties.
George Nell (Rep.) will serve Clinton,
Crumton, Adair, Russell and Wayne
counties. The vacancy was caused by
the death of Senator E M. Ne.l. R. P.
Stoll (Rep.) was elected in Lexington.
J. L. Mosely, whose home was in
Christian county. J. C. Napier (Rep.)
was also elected in Garrett county. T.
R. Winship (Rep.) was elected in Adaxr
and Cumberland.
Larue was the only county in which
a silver Democrat was elected. Repre- ;
sentative George Dieberth’s place wa.t
filled in Campbell county by the elec
tion of a Republican. L. C. Linney
(Rep.) was elected in the Thirty-eighth j
district of this city, to the vacany ere- '
ated by Senator Weifsinger’s death. The
Republicans originally had 68 members.
They lost five by death and resignation,
and they gained seven. This gives them
70 votes on joint ballot.
An extra session will certainly be
held, for Governor Bradley has said so,
and his party will demand it. He will
probably be a candidate if he can sea ]
his way clear. Mr. St. John Boyle '
claims the Republican nomination.
There is much talk, however, of giving
the honor to Secretary John G. Carlisle. ,
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Nov. 4. —While Bryan has ’
probably carried Nebraska by a small
plurality, Republicans are not conceding
that fact, since less than 300 of 1,554
precincts in the state have been heard
from. A definite result cannot be
known before night, but Bryan is
steadily gaining in most of the remote
rural districts yet to hear from His
majority, however, shows decreasing
majorities us the count progresses. It
is conceded that Bryan’s greatest
strength is there, and it will probab y
overcome the 2,000 plurality McKinley
has in Omaha. The feature of the con
test is the enormous vote polled, proba
bly 10 per cent heavier than at any
previous time.
This is attributed to the element
which has heretofore refused to partici
pate in elections, but which the final
issue of this campaign brought forth.
As a result of the generous manner in
which the state ticket was scratched,
little can be definitely determined be
fore night as to the result Holcombe,
Democratic Populist gubernatorial can
didate, is probably elected, as he ran
ahead of Bryan in many sections. The
probabilities are that the state ticket is
divided between two parties and will
be close on all results. The legislature, I
however, is largely Ropu’oii an.
In the congressional districts, while
little is definitely known except in the
Fecond, where Mercer is re-elected, ]
there is little doubt that tl.c Republi
cans have elected four o' 1 the remaining
live congressmen. Maxwell, silver]
Democrat . n the Third, is probably
elected, The complete white vote will
probably exieed 230,000. The heaviest
vote previously polled in Nebraska was
in 18l>4, 210 000. In view of the intense
excitement i n Nebraska, it is considered
remarkable that no disturbances of im
portance occurred election day.
Chairman Post, of the Republican
state committee, at 10 o'clock, conceded
Nebraska to the fusion ticket on presi
dential elec-ors and governor, but he
says that neither Bryan nor Holcomb
—the latter being the fusion candidate
for governor—will have anything like
the plurality claimed by Dahlman
and Edis ton, Democratic and Populist
chairmen. He says the representative
and congressional tickets are in doubt.
It appears quite certain, however, that
the Populists will get four if the six
congressmen, and they may have five if
not the entire six.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis Nov. 4. —Missouri returns
are very in complete, but it is known,
without a doubt that St. Louis has
given McKinley from 12,000 to 25,000
plurality, the former being conceded by
the Democrats and the Utter claimed by
the Republicans. There seems to be no
doubt that t ,vo of the three congress
men in St. bouis will be Republican;
Hartholt in ‘he Seventeenth district and
Pearce in tne Twelfth district. Con
gressman Jcy, (Rep.) appears to have
been defeated by Hunt (Dem.) accord
ing to the latest returns.
The lateness of the returns from the
city and the state is due to the compli
cations in the election law, recently en
acted and put into force for the first
time at *this election, added to this the
cutting out of the vote on the four con
stitutional amendments causing a loss
of time, each having to be taken up
separately. Indications are that all
these amendments are defeated.
Less than one-half of the election pre
cincts in Missouri have been heard from.
They show a lead for Bryan, which
Chairman Cook claims give him the
state by 7,000 majority. He also claims
the election of 12 Democratic congress-

[Vice President-Elect of the United States.]
men outside of St. Louts and the full
st;.t ■ ticket, with Evans for governor.
i In the state, the only definite returns as
to congressmen are the Third and
Fourth districts, the Democratic candi
! date being elected in each. Dockery
was re-elected in the Third and Coch-
I ran re-elected in the Fourth. Ou the
> other hand, the Republicans claim that
the state is in doubt.
The returns thus far received show a
large increase in the vo'e for both par
ties as compared with the vote of 1892
and the Republicans assert that the ad
vantage is largely with them. Lewis,
the Republican candidate for governor,
ran aheac. of the national ticket in most
of the country districts.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4. —Four hundred
out of the 3,116 precincts in Indiana,
outside of Marion county, (Indianapolis)
show a net Republican gain of 4.179, or
a little over ten to a precint This ratio
of Republican gain has kept steadily up,
and if it continues it will give the state
to McKinley by over 30.030.
With such a heavy Republican vote
all over the state, the Republicans have
probably elected a'.l the congressional
candidates, though there is doubt about
I Sulzer, in the Fourth district; Trace-
I well in the Third and Landis in the
Ninth. There is little doubt that John
son is elected in the Sixth. The Repub
licans will have a majority in the legis
turn, which the Republican managers
place at 42 on joint ballot, Marion
county will probably give a Republican I
] majority of 7,000, and this is a big in
crease over the last vote.
The ratio of Republican gain in this
state has stood in the neighborhood of
I ten to the precinct since the election re
-1 turns began coming in. While not one
fourth of the state has been heard from,
the returns already m are sufficiently
scattered to indicate pretty definitely
] that McKinley’s plurality will not fall
i below 25,000. The heaviest gains were
iin the cities and towns. It is impossi
| b’.e to state just how many congressmen I
the Republicans have elected, or just
how the legislature will stand, but there ]
is little or no doubt that the Republi
cans will poll a big majority of both.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. 4. —Returns incom
plete as yet from the 83 counties of
Michigan, indicate McKinley’s plural
ity in Michigan to be 40,00). The same
returns give Pingree, for governor, an
e-’tiniated plurality of 58,000. That Pin
gree should have run decidedly ahead
of lis ticket generally through the state
is regarded as something of a surprise, I
MARCUS A. HANNA.
[Who Managed Republican Campaign.]
in view of the combined interests allied
against him. In Detroit Pingree got
more votes than he had ever receivedin
his candidacy for mayor. The Repub
lican state ticket ran considerably be
hind Pingree’s vote and several thous
and behind the McKinley vote.
The Republican members of congress
are elected in each of th > 12 districts of
the state except the Third and Eighth;
in the Eighth the issue is still between
Congressman Linton and Drucker.
I Wayne county elected her entire Re
| publican delegation to the legislature,
ten rerepsentatives and four senators, al
though ex-Mayor William C. Thompson
for senator narrowly escaped defeat.
The legislature will be overwhelm
] ingly Republican, but by what majority
] is not yet determined.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. 4.—California
has joined the east in the McKinley
landslide and its majority for the Re- !
pub lean standard bearer will pass a,ODO ,
at least. Many of the counties have not
1 yet sent in returns, but the more popu
lous and those in which the fate of the
elections hinged have been heard from '
and sweil the Republican majority to
a point where nothing to come later can
possibly disturb them.
Los Angeles, which was the strong-
I hold in the southern tier of counties, is
estimated as giving from 1,200 to 2,000
majority for McKinley. Great interest
is centered on the congressional ticket.
Outside this city only one Democratic
representative seems to have been
chosen. The legislature has gone with
the general result and may safely be
classed as Republican and insures the
return of a Republican to the United
States senate.
WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 4.—The Popu
lists are claiming eastern Washington
by 5,000 majority, based on esitmates of
less than half of the count. The most
j populous counties in western Washing
ton are giving McKinley small majori
ties. The Post Intelligencer returns in
dicates that Bryan has carried the state
by a majority of 3,C00.
Sullivan, Republican candidate for
governor, concedes the election of Rog
ers, his fusion opponent. Bryan and
fusion state ticket apparently carried
the state by a majority of less than
5,000 and will control the legislature.
Complete returns from 59 precincts in I
Washington outside Tacoma and Seat
tle give McKinley 2,890; Bryan 3,320;
Sullivan, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, 7,819; Rogers, fusion, 3,413.
COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 4.—Scattering returns I
show that Bryan and Sewall carried Col
orado by over 100,000 majority in a total ■
of about 175,000 votes. No effort has
yet been made to tabulate the returns, i
I The Democratic-Silver fusion state '
I ticket, headed by Adams, Democratic 1
candidate for governor, apparently has
i a plurality of 12,000 over the Populist
-1 Silver party fusion ticket.
Bailee, Populist candidate for gov- (
- erncr, carried this (Arapahoe) county
by about 1,200 plurality, but most of the
> other populous counties give large ma
: jorities for Adams. The McKinley state
ticket got fewer votes than the Repub
i lican electors and Waite, the “middle-
- of-the-road Populist, was a poor fourth
! in the race.
WEST VIRGINIA.
j W. Va., Nov. 4—There
is absolutely nothing received at Demo
cratic headquarters by which a major
ity can be based by either party. A few
. telegrams received by Secratary Olney
announce gains, but not enough conn-
• ties have been heard from to form an
) idea as to the result The Democrats
r claim the state by 8.000 and the Repub
-3 licans by from 10.00-J to 18,000.
t \ Returns from the state, which are
’ j dow, show Republican gains over 1892.
* 1
and there is a strong probability that
; the state has gone for McKinley. Wet
zel county, which gave Cleveland 627
majority, will probably not exceed 300
for Bryan. Gilmer county gives 850
Democratic majority; Mineral county
estimated 800 Republican; Brooke .
county 180 for McKinley.
ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, Nov. 4.—The fusion
ticket in Arkansas was elected by a ma
jority of from 25,053 to 80,000 Ret »'ns
from over the state indicate that about
I the usual v >te was polled.
The Democratic candidates for con
gress were elected by good majorities.
Terry, in the Fourth, receiving about
8,000 over Waters, Republican; Mcßae,
in the Third, carried one of the strong
est Republican precincts in Hempstead
county. It will be several days before
all the election returns aie in from the
back counties, but from die figures at
hand, the Democratic majority is con
servatively estimated at 25 000.
The three Populists on toe ticket ran
about 2,000 behind the Democratic,
which about represents the gold stand
ard Democratic strength in the state.
KANSAS.
Topeka., Nov. 4.—lt seems practically
certain that Bryan has carried Kansas
by a small majority. Chairman Breiden
thal of the Democratic state committee
claims the state by 13,000. Chairman
Simpson, of the Republican state com
mittee, however, refuses to surrender
and declares that complete returns will
show a victory for the Republicans.
The Democrats claim the election of
congressmen in the Third, Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh districts by majorities from
2,500 to (>,OOO. The First district is con
i ceded to Broderick ( Rep.) and the
Fourth is classed doubtful. Returns
i generally indicate Republican losses.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Nov. 4. —The election
was the most peaceable and quiet ever
held in this state. In the country par
ishes the Australian ballot had the effect
of keeping many negroes away from
the polls, resulting in a light vote.
With half a dozen polls missing Bryan’s
majority in the city was 10,000; his ma
jority in the state may exceed 80,000.
A full Democratic delegation is elected
' to congress.
WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Wy., Nov. 4.—Thirty
nine Wyoming precincts give McKinley
1,400; Bryan 1,45'2; Democratic gain of
281. Incomplete returns from two pre
cincts in Evanston and eight in Lara
mie give Democratic gain of 632. At
this ratio the entire state will give Bryan
1,800 plurality. Congressional and state
tickets are pretty nearly the same as the
electoral ticket.
NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 4. —New York state
approximated the most sanguine expec
tations of the Republican campaign
managers, the only crumb of comfort;
remaining to the Democrats being five’
congressmen elected in this city. The
; closest estimate it is possi lo to make
indicate that McKinley’s plurality in
the state over Bryan will exceed 250,-
000.
OREGON.
; Portland, Or., Nov. 4. Nearly
three-fourths of the total vote of Ore
' gon has been received. ‘ McKinley, 32,-
123; Bryan, 27,400; McKinley plurality,
4, 724 Palmer’s vote in the state will
be about 100. It is estimated that the
precincts yet to be heard from will re
duce McKinley’s plurality 1,500, mak
ing his plurality in the state 3,200.
OHIO.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4. —Hamilton coun
ty, 0., complete gives McKinley 57,782;
Bryan, 88,003; Palmer, 186; McKinley’s
plurality, 19,779 Shattuc (Rep.), con
gressman First district, has a plurality
of 905; Bromwell, Second district, will
be elected by 9,299. The pluralities for
Republicans on the state ticket are al
most the same as for McKinley.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Nov. 4. —Returns from the
state are coming in more slowly than

usr. il. The party managers are making
I noiffort to collect them, and they will
I be i.lowed to drift in through slow
official sources. The Democratic ma
jority will probably be about 25 009, and
all of the 11 congressmen are Democrats.
TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Nov. 4. —Returns from
the state are very meagre. The Demo
crats are claiming the state for Bryan,
and there is a probability that he will
get a small plurality. The Republicans
still claim the state by a small plurality
and are more confident of the election
of their candidate for governor.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Yankton, S. D., Nov. 4. —One hun
dred and fifty-six out of 1,007 precincts
in South Dakota give McKinley 10,632;
Bryaa 9,411. On the same ratio tk«.
state will go to McKinley by only iX
the country precincts may wipe this
out.
ALABAMA.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 4.—Full re
; turns have not yet been, received from
every county in this state and no esti
mate based on any actual count of votes
can be safely made. Bryan, however,
has carried the state.
NEW JERSEY.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 4.—Chairman
Murphy of the Republican state com
mittee claims the state by 40,000 plural
ity for McKinley. Chairman Price of
the Democratic committee will not con
cede anything.
TEXAS.
Dallas, Nov. 4.—The count is slow,
nothing official can be obtained and it
is hard to ascertain the result in Dallas.
Bryan will carry the state by nearly
50,000, with the Democratic state ticket.
MINNESOTA.
Minneapolis, Nov. 4. Congress:
Fifth district, Loren Flether, re-elected.
Hennepin county gives McKinley 4,000
majority, while for governor, Lind,
fusion, will get nearly 1,000 majority.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.—Bryan
gets 10,000 majority in Florida. The
first 23 precincts out of 632 give Bryan

and Sewall 1,262; Bryan and Watson,
17; McKinley, 570; Palmer, 107.
NORTHJDAKOTA.
Eargo, N. D., Nov. 4.—lndications
are that the state will give from 3,000
to 6,000 Republican. Johnson is re
elected to congress and the whole Re
publican state ticket is elected.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, Nov. 4.—The returns up to
2 a. m. indicate that Bryan has carried
North Carolina by 10,090. The returns
at that hour were not complete from
the state.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. 0., Nov. 4. —The election
passed off quietly in this state. The
Bryan people had everything their own
way.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Nov. 4.—Bryan’s majority
is probably 25.000, Eight Democratic
congressmen are certainly elected.
CANTON GREATLY EXCITED.
McKinley’s Home City Goes Wilt! Over the
Result of the Election.
Canton, 0., Nov. 4—Canton is in a
fever of excitement. On all sides there
is an uninterrupted din of scieeching
steam whistles pulled open to their full
capacity and tooting a savage cheer;
bands and drum corps marching and
counter-marching, uninformed and uu
uniformed clubs parading, and artillery
companies shaking the town with can
non salute. The town people en masse
joined in the demonstration of rejoicing
over the result of the election. What
ever doubt there may be as to the result
of the election, Canton is convinced that
their townsman, Mr. McKinley, is the
president-elect of the United States.
Major McKinley was about the house
by 8 a. m. after a three hours’ nap
broken by the demonstration made
around him. At 4 o’clock he stood on
roof of the porch reviewing the Tippe
canoe club. It was a stirring scene in
the gray of the morning. Major Mc-
Kinley took a final survey of the esti
mates up to 4:15. There had been
marked fluctuations after midnight.
But in any view of the situation, the
feeling about the McKinley home was
that the contest was over. In order
that the Major and Mrs. McKinley
might have rest. The members of the
local Republican committee were on
hand to keep away visit* et” delegations
until later in the day.
A curious crowd filled the sidewalks
and the streets at the home, but no visi
tors were admitted. Telegrams by the
hundred accumulated through the early
morning and were delivered in huge
bunches. They were mainly congratu
latory with some additional advices on
the situation. Word came that Oregon
had given McKinley a majority of 7.090
and that Louisville would give a major
ity of 13,500.
In a general way the returns led to
the conviction by Major McKinley’s
closest friends that 239 electoral voles
were assured beyond peradventure, 48
more were regarded probable for Mc-
Kinley, and 18 doubtful.
Those regarded as certain are: Con
necticut, Illinois. Indiana, lowa, Min
nesota. Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wis
consin.
These counted as probable for McKin
ley are: North Dakota, South Dakota,
Delaware, Kentucky, Montana, Wash
ington, We*t Virginia and Wyoming.
The doubtfe? Kansas and Ne
braska.
Joseph Smith, political secretary of
I Major McKinley, says; “The electoral
vote of McKinley and Hobart will ba
somewhere between 259 and 854, leav
ing to Bryan and Sewall not mor* than
92 to 158. In my confident judgment,
I McKinley and Hobart will receive
nearly, if not quite 1,500.000 plurality
of the popular vote.’’
ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.
Cleveland and His Cabinet Satl.ftad With
the Result of the Elrclion.
Washington, Nov. 4. —There was an
air of unconcealed satisfaction in ad
ministration circles over the result of
the election, yet this was tempered in
many instances with pity. From the
president in the White House down to
the lowest official there was an indispo
sition to exult over the defeat of their
oldtime political associates, and the
members of the president’s official fam
ily preserved a dignified silence in the
hope of thus making easier the task set
for the future heal of the breaches in
the party.
All of the members of the cabinet who
were in Washington remained with the
president in the white house until 2 a.
m. listening to the reading of the re
turns from ths Associated press and
other sources by Private Secretary
Thurber. By that Inur they had satis
fied themselves completely” as to the
general result.
The cabinet officers refused to make
any statement as to their views of the
election. As for the president, Private
Secretary Thurber said he had com
menced the preparation of his annual
message to the congress and, as has al
ways been the custom, he would bo
obliged to deny himself to the public
until it was completed. The month of
November is usually devoted to this
purpose.
EX-MAYOR HOPKINS TALKS.
Says Ho Does Not Kejoico In McKinley's
Victory, but In Bryan's Defeat.
Chicago, Nov. 4. “We know,” says
John P. Hopkins, chairman of the gold
Standard Democratic committee, “that
McKinley has received an overwhelm
ing majority in Illinois. This is not a
surprise to those who had an opportu
nity to observe the trend of public opin
ion in this state. The Palmer and
Buckner vote was insignificant, which
is a matter of no surprise to the mana
gers of the sound money campaign in
this state.
“Democracy and the Democratic par
ty still lives; its principles are eternal.
I do not rejoice at McKinley’s victory,
but Ido rejoice in Bryan’s defeat. Our
committee will meet this week and pro
claim to the people of this state and to
the United States that we are Demo
crats and claim to represent the Demo
cratic faith. We have no donbt that
the conservative element of the party
will assert itself, and now that Altge-ld
ism and all it represents has been ut
terly repudiated by our state, the sober
sense of the people will assert itself and
the Democracy will be re-established on
its ancient lines.
“I rejoice as an American citizen that
the capacity of the American people to
govern themselves in peace as in war
has been demonstrated by the most cru
cial test to which the republic has been
subjected.”
NEXT HOUSE FOR GOLD.
Yellow Metal Have a
of One and One.
Chicago, Nov. 4. —The Timesrilerald
gives out the following table as to the
complexion of the next house of repre
sentatives: Republican, 229; Democrat-
Populists, 128. Majority over all, 101.
Divided as follows: Anti-silver Re
publicans, 226; anti-silver Democrat-
Populists, 3; for silver, Republicans, 3;
for silver, Democrat-Populists, 125;
sound money majority 101.
From returns thus far received, the
next senate will stand as follows: Re
publicans 42; Democrats 82; Indepen
dents and Populists 11; doubtful 5. To
tal 90.
PAYNE IS HIGHLY ELATED.
Thinks the Country Is to Be Congratulated
on the Result of the Election.
Chicago, Nov. 4. Mr. Henry B.
Payne of the gold standard Democratic
executive committee was highly elated
over the result and said:
“The country is to be congratulated
that the majority is so great that it will
inspire confidence in business circles.
Too much praise cannot, in my opinion,
