P.LKCTIOX BHVCUIinRR,
The official state returns have all
been canvassed. The tofflh popular
vote is very close to that of four years
sco. One feature of the recent elec-
tion is that while there were phenoml-
nal gains In many of the states, there
were equally heaw losses In others
The total vote of 1894 gained nearly two
million over that of ".892, while the re-
cent election shows a loss of a few
thousand. V. InJey received 7.IM.1JQ
votes In 1900. or a gain over 1896 of 111,-
351, while Bryan lost 142,395 votes, re-
ceiving hut 6.360,530 votes.
In the state of Pennsylvania there
l was a loss of 21,00 voles from that of
1896. In the state of Illinois there was
a gain of 10,000, which was entirely
tacked onto the vote of McKinley.
Tennessee's vote was over 78,000 short
of 1896, while in this state McKinley
lost 17.956 and Bryan lost 40,980.
McKinley's greatest gain was In
Utah, where his vote jumped from 13,-
461 to 47,100.
Bryan's greatest gain was In New
York, where he polled 124,798 more
rot^g than in 1896. and where McKin-
ley gained but 1,472.
Bryan's greatest loss was 110,431 in
Texas, where McKlnley'a vote fell off
also 8,000.
Of the solid south Bryan gained 45,-

of the Indian Territory and a few of
Oklahoma are a^nst the proposition,
however, there Is no #tat'ng the rela-
tive strengths of the exponents of the
two ideas until the matter^comes up
for consideration.
There will be a strong fight along
this line. The county elections of dol-
egatefl t© the South McAlester conven-
tion which are being held in the ter-
ritory have so far declared for single
statehood, and the probabilities are
that the entire rank and file of the In-
dian Territory will vote to su.'&ain th?
proposition. This showing, together
with the work of the South McAles.tr
oonventlon. will in all probability have
a great influence on congress, which
will look more to the eternal good of
the two territories than to the satisfac-
tion of the federal offlc rs of the Indian
Territory who will make a fight ag-inst
the enactment of a single statehood
bill and a few from Oklahoma will op-
pose it.
There is this thing certain from th?
present developments, zv.i that Is that
there will be an enabling act of seme
