21. was today sent to the printer, and the democratic candidate for president Immediately began work on his speech on the trusts, which he win make at Indianapolis, Aug. 25, upon the occasion of the notification of John W. Kern 6f his for the vice presidency. Mr.

Bryan was an earl riser today. Wis first visitors', was a delegation' of traveling men who, brought, with them encouraging report's 'of the sentiment IContlnutd Pn TwM Chicago, Aug. 10.1 Such returns as were available' early today In addition to those obtained last night, confirmed the republican nomination of for governor and gave the republican endorsement for United States senator to Albert J. Hopkins. From at hand.

'which are, however Incomplete, the majority Vote of Deneen fever Yates is1 probably not far from 12,000 to 15,000. The vote, for United States senator shows that Hopkins has about eighteen thousand plurality over Fosi, but It Is not certain that this estimate will hold. The returns from some counties may reduce Hopkins lead materially. however, considered certain by politicians Hopkins will receive a 'strong plurality onithe popular1 vote. Will Carry Flflht to Springfield.

It Is certain that Foes will carry the, fight 'to the state legislature and a warm content will ensue when, that body meets next winter. Fobs and his managers claim that he has carried a majority of the senatorial and that the chief strength of the Hopkins vote, particularly in the city of Chicago, has been In the democratic wards. It is claimed that the vote In the senatorial districts should be bindingbinding on the members of the legislature and therefore Foss and. his friends argue that even If defeated on the. popular vote he have a majority of the legislature under instructions to him.

The TopkIns managers, deride this claim and assert that the vote of the state at large is the only thing that carries with It the party endorsement. The returns today seem to Indicate that J. G. OgHbby has been nominated for lieutenant governor on the republican ticket and lhat J. I Pickering has been chosen by the democrats as their candidate for clerk of the supreme court.

These were the only offices on which the result was last night In doubt. Figures Slow Getting In. The returns from the county pre cincts continue to come In slowly Definite figures are most difficult to obtain on many of the votes, particularly those on the democratic ticket. Because of the general lntereil felt in the republican gubernatorial nomina tion and the republican endorsement for the election Judges generally have counted the votes of that party first. Enough fgures are obtain able, however, to show that Lawrence Stringer, of Lincoln, has received an overwhelming plurality for the democratic endorsement for senator and that former Vice President Adlal E.

Stevenson, of has been nominated for governor. The republicans throughout the state seem to nave turned out to vote at the primary' election In greater force than the democrats. This is generally at trlbnted to the Interest felt In the republican contests.
