It was estimated that Representative Overstreet would not run far behind the presidential ticket. Chairman Akin Haid there was no doubt that the Democrats made the most des perate attempts to work their schemes yesterday, one of the worst of which was tho attempted colonization of colored voters!. Notwithstanding this, he said, tho Democracy was badly whipped in the county. Tho returns show substantial gains In many parts of the city and county. One of the city precincts showing the heaviest gains was In Captain Cglish's precinct tho thirteenth uf the Sixth ward. The returns from this precinct show a Repub lican majority of 123.

About 1:30 o'clock this morning the Press Bureau announced that sixty-eight pre cincts gave McKinley 7,533 and Bryan 5,113.

The telegraph instru rnents at stato Republican headquarters began ticking off glad tidings from other States, and by 8 o'clock Chairman Hernly lace was wreathed in smiles. He sat at his desk studying the bulletins after they had been read aloud by Eugene Bundy, of the state executive committee.

At 7 30 o'clock Chairman Hernly repeated th statement he had made several times in the past week that Indiana, would give a Re publican majority of at least 40,000. At that hour but little had been heard from over the state, but the' air seemed charge with good news, and the chairman felt tha it would only be a question of an hour or two before his feelings would be fully borne out by reliable reports.

It became evident at a very early hour this evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was assured. At half past 8 o clock r turns from nearly two-thirds of the elec tion districts of Greater New York hal been received. Indicating beyond question that Bryan and Stevenson could net ex pect more than 23,000 or 30,x0 plurality la this Democratic stronghold, und unless there was a landslide in the outside coun ties beyond all reasonable expectation, t! pivotal State of New York had declared !a unmistakable terms, although, by a gr cul ly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates. As the night progressed It only served to confirm this Judgment. Tha returns from Illinois betrayed a like con dition. The Republican plurality of iwf was greatly reduced, but it ws still far too large to be overcome. On the otber hand, the return from Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, 1'tari and Wyoming, as well a Nebraska, seemed to indicate trong Republican gaing over 1 Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia had given decisive Republican pluralities. The count in Fevtral of the far Western State was naturally ho rie layetf a? to civc little hidlrat!rn of tha, outcome there, but they had erased to have a deternilrlng effect and before 23 o'clock the Democratic loaders had given up the contest, and it wan announM tha Mr. Rryan had gone to bod ami was founj asleep. The whole story was easily aiKl briefly teld. The Republican tlcktt would hava a larger electoral vote than four jrati ago, but in the larger Slates o! the Eat-t Mid. middle Wc?t tho pluralities had be a greatly reduced.
