New York, Special.?It became evident
at a very early hour Tuesday
evening that the election of McKinley
and Roosevelt was assured. At 8:30
o ciocK, returns irom nearly twothirds
of the election districts of
Greater New York had been received,
Indicating beyond question that Bryan
and Stevenson could not expect
more than 25,000 or 30.00 plurality in
this Democratic stronghold, and unless
there was a landslide in the outside
counties beyond all reasonable
expectation, the photal State of New
York had declared in unmistakable
terms .although by a greatly reaueed
majority, for the Republican candidates.
As the night progressed it
only served to coalirm this judgment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed a
like condition. The Republican plurality
of 1SSH> was greatly reduced, but it
was still far too ,large to be overcome.
On the other hand the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska,
semed to indioate strong Republican
gains over 1S96. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican pluralities.
The coumt in several of the far
Western States was naturally so delayed
as to give little indication 01 the
outcome there, but they had ceased to
have a determining effect, and before
10 o'clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest and it was announced
that Mr. Bryan had gone to
bed and was sound asleep.
whole story was easily and
br4 ly told. The Republican ticket
would have a larger electoral vote
than four yeans ago. but in the larger
States of the East and Middle West,
the pluralities had been greatly reduced.
Massachusetts had fallen from
174,000 to 50,000; New York from 268,000
to 150,000 and Illinois from 142,000
to 100,000 or le?s.
The roll call of States at this hour
is apparently as follows:
McKinley?Connecticut, 6; Delaware,
3; Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15;
Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland. 8; Massachusetts,
15; Michigan, 14; Minnesota,
9; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey,
10; New York, 36; North Dakota.
3; Ohio, 23; Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode
Island, 4; Vermont, 4; West Virginia,
6; Wisconsin, 12; California, 9; Wyoming,
3. Total, 259.
Bryan?Alabama. 11; Arkansas, 8; .
Colorado. 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13;
Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri, !
17; Montana, 3; North Carolina, 11; i
South Carolina. 9; Tennessee, 12; :
Texas, 15; Utah, 3; Virginia, 12.?
Total, 139.
Unreported?Idaho, 3; Kansas, 10;
Kentucky, 13; Nebraska, 8; Nevada,
3; Oregon. 4; South Dakota, 4; Washington.
4.?Total, 49.
If all the unreported States should
turn out as Democratic, a highly improbable
contingency, it would not
change the result. The latest returns
from Nebraska indicate a Republican
plurality.
The Fifty-Seven Congress seems to
be Republican by a substantial working
majority.
The gubernatorial ticket have appar- 1
ently followed the national, and Odell |

ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Ala., Special.?R<turns
from the tSate are so meagre that it Is
impossible to give any figures on the
vote for President. Mr. Bryan eirriod
the State by a large majority on a lieht
: vote. Alabama Congressional ddega,
tlon will be solidly Democratic.
ARKANSAS.
Little Rock. Ark., Special.?The Gazette
estimates a majority of 60,0)0 for
Bryan in Arkansas. Six Democratic
Congressmen are elected beyond doubt.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Special.?Up to nine
o'clock the returns from the city and
State at large indicate that California
has fPne Republican by 10,000 to 15,000.
The Republicans will elect five
Congressmen. The second and fif'h
districts are running very close. The 1
city of Sod Francisco will give at least
7,000 plurality for McKinley.
DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Del., Special.?Returns

! 2,000 to 2,c00. This will give the State
to the Republicans by 1,200 to 1,500.
The Democrats have carried Ker t and
Sussex counties, according to early reports,
electing two senators anc nine
out of ten representatives in Kent, and ,
making gains in Sussex county. This :
makes it certain that the Democrats
will have a majority in the next legislature.
FLORIDA.
To/.lr=!j-irn'i11o TCla Rno/?tnt?At mlrt
night returns in Florida give Bryan's '
majority as 22,000. Jennings, Demo- |
crat, for governor, is elected by 21,000. |
The tSate legislature is unanimously
Democratic, 100 on joint ballot. The j
capital removal primary gives a plural- ,
ity to Tallahassee, the present seat of j
the State capital, and the capital will
not be moved.
OHIO.
Columbus, O., Special?Republican
State Chairman Chas. Dick was given
out the following statement:
"Returns received up to this hour, 11

WISCONSIN.
Lacrosse, Wis., Special.?The Republican
State central committee claim
the State by 100,000. Democratic !
Chairman Warden concedes that Mc- j
Kinley will carry the State by 40.000, j
but claims that the Democratic candi- |
date for Governor will carry the State
by 10,000.
COLORADO.
Denver, Col., Special.?Returns received
up to 9:30 indicate that Bryan's
plurality In the State will be
from 30,000 to 40,000, Arapahoe coun,
ty, including Denver, giving Bryan
I
: 0,000 to 8,000 majority. The result on
j the State ticket is in doubt.
GEORGIA.
Atlania, Special.?Bryan's majority
in Georgia will be about 40,000, which
is 28,(00 less than that given Governor
Candler one month ago. The majority
for Bryan shows an apparent increase
over that four years ago of
about 4.000. But little interest was
mani/ested ana a very ngni voie was
polled. The Georgia delegation to
Washington remains solidly Democratic.
IDAHO.
Boise, Idaho, Special.?There are as
yet no returns from this State. Only
one precinct has been heard from. It
gives McKinley 91: Bryan, S3. Two
years ago ft gave the fusionists 11S;
! Republicans, 42.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., Special.?At 10
o'clock both Democratic and Republican
comimt-toes claim the State,
though they furnish no figures in support
of their claims. The I^ouisville
newspapers make claims according to 1
the way they supported the Democratic
or Republican tickets in the campaign.
McKinley's majority in 180 out of 200
precincts in Louisville and the county
Ls 4,059. Inl the same precincts, the
majority of Yerkes, Republican candidates
for Governor over Beckham.
Democrat, is 4,498. The Democrats are
claiming gains out in the State.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Special.?Bryan carried
Louisiana by a majority apparently
of 30.00C. The vote was comparatively
light. The State returns a
solid Democratic delegation to Congress.
t '<
MISSOURI. i
St Louis, Special.?The late closing <
of the polls (7 o'clock), an unusually !
heavy vote and the fact that seven j
A*v?/.n/IrMAnia tr/vfa/1 , l

will be counted first, will make the returns
on State, congffressional and national
tickets in Missouri very late.
Itl is believed the world's fair amend- i :
ments secured a majority in St. Louis.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Miss., Special.?The returns
from the interior counties are slow in ] i
arriving, but reports so far are to the <
effect that the election was o.uiet and I
orderly throughout the State. In t
it-Elect of the United States.

j TMf C- RCOSEVEIT I
Jackson 75 per cent, of the registered
vote was polled, llnldications are
that the total vote polled will be about
70,000.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Special.?McKinley has
carried Maryland beyond the shadow ,
of a doubt, the only question to be settled
being the size of his majority. \
With practically complete returns
from the city he has a majority of
about 6,500, while from -ue State,
scattering returns indicate an ad- ;
ditional surplus ol' 3,500, making his
total majority in the State about 10,000.
(
MICHIGAN. i
Eetroit, Mich., Special.?McKinley i
has carried MichigA beyond a doubt. *
Conservative estimates place his ma- ;
jority at 6a,ooo. ?
i
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb.. Special?There are 1,1C1
precincts in Nebraska, cf which 99
are in Omaha and Douglass county. ]
Nine precincts outside of Omaha and {
Douglass give McKinley 1,398; Bry;n j
849. These same precincts in 1896
gave McKinley 1,997; Bryan 815, a net !,
gain for McKinley of 173. With this j
gain throughout the tSate McKinley 1
would have a plurality of about 4,000.
MONTANA.
Rutte, Mont., Special.?Returns fro
Silver Bow county, which casts about
one-fourth of Montana's vote, indicate [
that Bryari ha3 carried the State oy ! "
something like 20,000; that the Demo- ,(
cratic fusion State ticket Ls elected and J
that the fusionlsts will have a ma- i J
jority in the Legislature, which elects
two United States Senators.
NEW YORK.
N*w York. Special.?At 11 o'c'o-k (
the indica'ions are that President Me- ;
Kirley las carried New ""o-k State 1 v i
a major'ty over Bryan of about 150,000 '
compared with a Republican majority , i
In the last election of 268,469. The total

60,000 larger htan it wa3
in 1896, and up the State the increayi
is about 30,000. In the city Bryan wiped

num
Columbus, 0., Special.?At 10 o'clock
[ess returns were received than auy

This is attributed to the unusually
large vote, and the full county and district
tickets. There were seven tickets
of presidential electors and five State
tickets. Out of 3,109 precincts in Ohio
the State committee had heard at 10
o'clock from less than 200, and from
