McKinley's Plurality Reaches the Enormous Total of 165,000.
Boston, November 4.-Complete returns from this state, though unofficial and subject to revision, give the following votes for President and Governor: Bryan, 102,655; McKinley, 267,787; Palmer, 11,510; McKinley's plurality, 165,132.
The complete vote for governor gives Prince, 13,674; Williams, 101,099; Wolcott, 256,282; Wolcott's plurality, 155,188.
But two towns in the state were carried by Williams-Blackstone and Alford.
The returns on the biennial amendments are not yet complete, but both amendments are defeated by 25,000 to 30,000 majority. Of the 13 Congressmen elected, all but one, Fitzgerald, in the ninth district, are Republican, the delegation remaining politically the same as at present. The next Senate will stand: Republicans, 65; Democrats, 5; the same as now. The House will contain 201 Republicans and 39 Democrats, a gain of seven for the Republicans.
