NEW YORK, Nor. .-OIldii!gut.--
It became evident at an early hour t bis
evening that lle election of McKinley
and Itoosevclt n assured. At half
nat 8 o'Hork return from nearly
two-third of the eleetkm districts of
Orenter New York had been revived,
indicating lieyond a question thai
Prvanand Stevenson cuuid not xj
iieet more than 2Ti.fi" if 'or 3II.OOO fltir-i
ality in this Democratic stronghold,
and unless there wax a landslide in
ihe outside- counties lieyond all reaaoa
able expectation, th pivotal state;
New York, had declared iu onniistak
able term, although by a greatly re
duced majority, for the Republican
candidate. An the night progre-sed
it only served to confirm this Judg
ment, but Hie ret urns from Illinois
levealed a like condition. The Bepubi
Jican plurality of wn greatly, ret
ilnwl, hut wan still far too large to
tie overcome. On the tit her hand, the
returns front Indiana. Michigan, the
Dakota. Utah and Wyoming, as well
a Nebraska, seem to indicate, steaoy
Republican gains over 1811. Ikel;
ware. Maryland and Wst Virginia
had given decided Republican Mural
Ities. The const in several far West
em states was naturally so delayed
ns to give litth liidinli.i of the opin
ion there, but they had ceased to have
a determining effect, and before 10
o'clock the Democratic , leaders bad
given up tlie 'content, and it wax an
liounced that Bryan had gone to bed.
ami waa sound nsben. The whole
story was easily and briefly told. The
Republican ticket would give a larger
electoral vote than four years ago.
but In the larger statu and. in the
Middle West, the pluralities were re
duced of i.( to TiO.OOO: in New
York. &iHJt to 1.Mmi. and in Illinois
from 142,i to Ul, or less.
