New York, Nov. 7. It beoama evi
dent at a very early hour this evening
that the flection of MoKinler and
Roosevelt was assured, Tbe president
carried tbe state of New York by 150,
000 plurality.
As the night progiessed, it only
served to confirm this judgment, but
the returns from Illinois revealed a
Ilka oondition. The Repulbican plu
rality of 1898 was greatly reduoed, but
it was still far, too large to be over
come.'. '
On tbe other band, the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, tbe two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebras
ka, teem to Indicate steady Republi
can gains over 1896. Delaware, Mary
land and West Virginia, have given de
cided Republican pluralities.
Tbe count in several of tbe far West
ern states was naturally to delayed as
to give little indication ci the opinion
there, hut tbey bad ceased to have
determining effect, and before 10
o'clock the Democratlo leader bad
given up the contest and it was an
nounced that Mr. Bryan had gone to
bed and was sound asleep. -The
whole story was easily and
briefly told. Tbe Republican ti?ket
would have a larger electoral vote than
four years ago, but in the larger states
of tbe East and Middle West tbe plu
ralities of 1898 bad been greatly re
duced. Masachosett bad fallen from
174,000 ti) 60.000 New York, 268,000
to l&O.OOt, and Illinois from 142,000
to lOO.OOdor leas.
Tbe 57ih congress seems to be Re
publican by a substantial working ma
jority. Bryan carried all the Southern
states, as nsual, along with Colorado,
Idaho, Montana and one doubtful state,
Kentucky, by a small plurality.
Doubtful states which went for Mo
Kiuley are Maryland, West Virginia
and Indiana, all by small pluralities.
Mc Kin ley's pnrality in Ohio is 70,
000, in Michigan 80,000.
Nebraska, Bryan's home state, went
Republican by a small plurality.
The New England states and Penn
sylvania are, as usual, in the Republi
can column. !
McKinleys plurality In Iowa is 100.
000, Kansas 80,000, Minnesota 80,
000. - THE COAST.
California, Oregon and Washington
all went for McKinley.
The contest waa close in California,
but it is expected tbe state will give
MoKinley 10,000 plurality.
Oregon gives MoKinley 14,000 plu
rality, but few counties going Demo
cratic. Washington goes for McKinley by a
small plurality, probably 6.000, but
Ibe state tioket is much in doubt, with
the probability that Rogers, Democrat,
is elected governor. Tbe legislature
will be Republican.
Tbe electoral vote will probably be
as follows: MoKinley, S92; Bryan.

In Washington.
Seattle, Wash., Nor. 10. The
majority for Preaident MoKinley in the
state of Washington will be between
11,000 and 12,000, and John R.Rog
ers, Democrat, for governor, will have
something like 1,300 over Frink, hia
Republican opponent. The average
majority of tbe two Repblioan candi
dates for congress, Jones and Cushman,
will be 9,000 or more, and tbe legisla
ture will be heavily Republican. All
the state Repnblican ticket, exoept
Frink, is elected by large pluralities.
All these things were made clear by
yesterday's leturns. Every county in
Western Washington has been beard
from and tbe only two counties in East
ern Washington about which there is
any uncertainty are Chelan and Oka
nogan. With these, scattering returns
show that the only question . ia to the
size of tbe Democratic pluralities.
Later returns are more likely to in
crease than deorease Rogers' plurality.
McKinley bas carried 26 counties
and Bryan 10; Frink 18 counties and
Rogera 17. with one (Mason) a tie.
Ia Still Piling Pp.
Portland. Or., Nov. 10. McKiuley't
purality in Oregon is still piling up.
Owing to an error in a former footing,
his lead this morning is made to ap
pear 600 less than yesterday, whereas
it should be about 100 more. Reports
continue to pour in that former Bryan
strongholds have either gone for Mo
Kinley or greatly decreased the Nebras
kan's majority in 18U6. For example,
Ave piecincts in Malheur county that
gave Bryan a plurality of 196 in 1896,
this year gave him but 44. Malbeur
county, which baa all along been con
ceded to the Democrats, ia now
thought to have gone Republican by a
majority of 50 to 100. This leaves but
three counties in the state which bave
given pluralities for Bryan and theii
combined vote is only 265.
Fifty-six precinots reported yester
day, making a total of 696 out of 769.
MoKinley'a vote- to date is 43,195;
Bryan, 29,676 The latest estimate of
McKinleys' plurality in the state ia
18.907.
