Big I.andalida In Illlnolo-Harylaaid,

Bepublleaa Column.
Now York, Nor. 7. It beoame evi
dent at a very early hour tfala evening
that the election of MoKinlev and
Roosevelt was assured. The president
oarrlrd the state of New York by 160,-
000 plurality.
As the night progiessed, it only
erved to confirm this judgment, bnt
the rturns from Illinois revealed a
like condition. The Repulbican pin
rality of 1896 waa greatly reduced, bnt
It wat ttill far, too large to be over
come. On the othet band, the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebras
ka, seem to Indicate steady Republl
can gains over 1896. Delaware, Mary
land and West Virginia, bave given de
cided Republican pluralities.
The count in several of the far West
ern states waa naturally so delayed as
to give little indication of the opinion
there, tint they bad ceased to bave a
determining effect, and before 10
o'clock the Democratic leaders bad
given up the contest and it was an
nonnced that Mr. Bryan bad gone to
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story was easily and
briefly told. The Republican tl-ket
would bave a larger electoral vote than
four years ago, bnt in the larger states
of the East and Middle West the plu
ralities of 1896 had been greatly re
duced. Masachusetta bad fallen from
174.000 to 60.000 New York, 268,000
to 160,001, and Illinois from 142,000
to lOO.OCaJor less.
The 67th congress seems to be Re
publican by a substantial working ma
jority. Bryan carried all the Southern
statea, as usual, along with Colorado,
Idaho, Montana and one doubtful state,
Kentucky, by a small plurality.
Doubtful states which went for Mo
Klnley are Maryland, West Virginia
aud Indiana, all by small pluralities.
McKinley's purality in Ohio ia 75,
000, in Micrrgun 80,000.
Nebraska, Bryan's home state, went
Republican by a small plurality.
The New England ttatea and Penn
sylvania are, as nsual, in the Republi
can column.
McKinleya plurality in Iowa is 100,
000, Kansas 80,000, Minnesota 80,
000. THE COAST.
California, Oregon and Washington
all went for McKinley.
The contest was close in California,
but it ia expected the atate will give
McKinley 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
the slate ticket is much in doubt, with
the probability that Rogers. Democrat,
is elected governor. The legislature
will be Republican.
Tbe electoral vote will probably be
as follows: MoKinley. 292; Bryan.

Monroe. Or., Nov. 7. Sheep an!
goat raisers in this vicinity are greatly

sonous qualities are sufficient to kill tht
animal which eats it.

In VfublngtoB.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 10. The
majority for President McKinley in the
state ol 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, his
Republican opponent. Tbe average
majority of tbe two Repblioan candi
dates for congress, Jones and Cushman,
will be 9,009 oi more, and tbe legisla
ture will be heavily Republican. All
the state Republican ticket, except
r rink, is elected by large pluralities.
All these things were made clear by
yesterday's returns. Every county in
Western Washington has been beard
from and the only two counties in East
era Washington about which there is
any uncertainty are Chelan and Oka-
nogan. With these, scattering returns
show that the only question is to the
size of the Democratic pluralities.
Later returns are more likely to in
crease than decrease Rogem' plurality.
McKinley has carried 26 counties
and Bryan 10; Frink 18 counties and
Rogers 17. with one (Mason) a tie.
- Ia Still Piling- Up.
Portland, Or., Nov. 10. McKinley's
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, whereat
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 Nebraa
kan's majority in 1896. For example,
five precincts in Malheur county tbat
gave Bryan a plurality of 196 in 1896,
this year gave him but 44. Malheur
county, which has all along been con
ceded to the Democrats, la now
thought to bave gone Republican by a
majority of 50 to 100. This leaves but
three counties in the state which bar
given pluralities for Bryan and theii
combined vote ia only 265.
Fifty-six precincts reported yester
day, making a total of 696 out of 769.
McKinley's vote to date is 42,195;
Bryan, 29,676 The latest estimate of
McKinleya' plurality in the state ia
13.907.
