NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—An unas- - .sailable column of 264 electoral votes has been secured for Me¢Kinley and Hobart. “This column may be increasea by the addition of the votes of the States of Ken - tucky, South Dakota and Wyoming, | which are still in doubt and claimed for | both McKinley and Bryan.

We are sure of one vote from Wyoming.” A matrimonial romance in the midst of | the monotonous whirl of volitics leaked out at Republican headguarters to-day. C. E. Miefenz, who has been secretary of the German bureau, and Miss Ella C. Phillips of Memphis, who was a steno- grapher in the department, eloped to Mii- waukee yesterday and were married at the First German Methodist Church last | night. The humor of the episode lies in the fact that the marriage was contingent on the election of McKinley. The couple re- turned to Chicago to-day and received a present ana congratulations from the Na- tional Committee and associates. Representatives of the Chicago news | papers and press associations who have been engaged in gathering the news from the Republican Natioual headqnarters the campaign will leave to-morrow over the Pennsylyania Railroad as the ~uests of Chairman Hanna, who desires to show his appreciation of their good faith and conrtesy by giving a dinner in New York, at which the uews- paper men who worked at the New York headaquarters will be present.

Victory cf the People In Ignoring Party Lines. CANTON, Os10, Nov. *5.—McKinley to- night sent the foliowing telegram to Mr. | Hanna in New York: CaxTON, Ohio, Nov. 5. “be about 1,000,000. It now exceeds 90v,000, and can scarcely be reduced more than | 30,000 by the aggregated pluralities ior | Bryan from all the States In doubt. " In the Senate the Republicans are as- | . sured of forty-six members, or a majority | of ‘two. The majority may be increased to four by the election of a Republican | irom Kentucky. According to the latest returns the Re- | publicans will have in the House 211 mem- bers, sound-money Democrats 1, Demo-\‘ crats 120, Populists 25, giving a Republi- - can majority of 65. The power of the Republicans may beé somewhat affected in the Senate by the | future course of the several Senators who | were elected as Republicans, but have | bolted the party and acted during the| campsign just ended with the Chicago Democrats. Mantle of Montane, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Cannon of Utah have all openly affiliated with the Democrats. If all these Senators vote politically with the Populists or the Democrats, they may be in the way of Republican majority as to prevent a reorganization. All told, how- ever, it is doubtful whether the silver men in the Senate will be able to muster a ma- jority. Putting all the bolting Republican Sen- ators in the silver column and adding to them all the continuing silver Senators, and Senators Faulkner, Gorman and Mitchell of Wisconsin, who accepted the Chicago platform and advocated its prin- “ciples, the silver cause will not appar- . ently be able to muster more than forty- two votes after March 3, 1897. This as- sures a gold standard majority in the Senate of at least six votes. ELECTORAL VOTE, 264. Vice-Ch Pay airman Payne Content to R=st on That Total. CHICAGO, Irn, Nov. 5—Vice-Chair- man Payne of the Republican National .. Commitiee was cont'nt to-day to rest upon the total of 264 electoral votes for McKinley. He said he could have | added one more as sur- for the President- | . elect—that of one elector from Wyoming, * who is said to have slipped in 2 winner be- cause the middle-of-the-road Populist elector bad refused to withdraw and drew vital strength from the Fusion ticket. | Mr. Payne said his advices from Chair- | ““man Roberts of the Kentucky committee | " assured him that State’s vote would be for | . McKinley, but it wouid require the official | .count to determine what the majo ity was, At present he claimed it by 1200, This ate would give McKinley 220 electoral votes. The following telegram was re- ceived from thechairman of the Wyoming State Committee: “‘Republicans carry eight counties for | “the National and State tickets. One county not heaad from. Have certainly one Presidential elector and Supreme Judge, State is very close, but returns received indicate the election of the re- maining two electors and Congressmen.” Chairman Gowdy telegraphed from In- dianajolis to Executive Committeeman Darbin, sticking to his figures of last ‘night as to the Republican majority in In- diana—20,000—and adding that Congress- men Leizhiy, Hardy, Sulzer and Trace- well were probably defeated, making the delegation nine Republicans and four ‘Democrats and both branches of the Legis- latare sure, Mr. Payne did some figuring on the next Senate, saying: ‘“We will have a majority for sound money in the Senate. .There will be forty-six Senators for gold, forty-two for free silver and two doubtful, the doub: resting on the Legislatures swhich have just been elected. On the question of passing a tariff bill independ- . ent of a silver rider there will be foriy-} seven for, forty against and three doubt- ful. We count on such silver Senators as Kyle and Cannon voting with the admin- isiration.” Mr, Payne was highly amused about a telephone message whizh he received dur- 'z te mornine from Milwaukee. The “n at the other end of the wire was 'arles Phster, a prominent citizen of M\iwaukee, He said: “I see in the papers that McKinley has only 264 votes. Can’t you scrape another somewhere? ;;;pflgox $3000 up tbat McKinley will get Mr. Payne gladdened the Heart of his Hon. M. A. Hanna, Waldorf Hotel, New York: Your telegraphic message announcing the re- sult of the election has been received. Ibeg you to accept my hearty thanks for your great | Services in the cause of sound money and pro- tection throughout the campaign now closea and gloriously won. They were most generous and effective, and will receive the warm ap- probation of your countrymen everywhere. I willbe pleased to have you conveyto your associates of the National Committee my high appreciation of their eflicient services. The people in their majesty, ignoring party lines, have declared their detestation of repudiation and dishonor in whatever specious guise they may be presented. They nave with the same mighty power affirmed their devotion to law and order and their undying respect for justice and the courts. They have maintained their unfalter- ing determination to support and uphold the constituted authorities of the country and huve thereby given vigor and strength to our free institutions. They have inaeed again consecrated themselyes to country and bap- tized the cherished ordinances of free govern- ment with anew and boly patriotism. The victory is ot to party or to seciion, but of and for the'whoie American people. - Not the least of the triumphs of the election is the obliteration of sectional lines of the Republic. We have demonsirated to the world that we are & reunited people in purpose as in name. We have manifested in the great cause the spirit of fraternity and brothernood that shali always characterize our common and equal citizenship, and have proven conclusively that in & country of equal privileges and equal opportunities the insidious doctrine of Liste or of class or sectional distinctions can- not prevail. Let us as Americans straight- way devote ourselves to the upbuilding of America; to the peace, honor and glory of our common country. Party dissensions should | no longer divide or rack the public mind, nor the zeal or temper of either side deter any citizen from patriotic devorion to the good of all. WiLLIAM MCKINLEY. Pl e HANNA IN NEW YORK. Talks of the Issues That Caused Republican Success. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Mark A. Hanna, chairman of the National Com- mittee, arrived in this city from Cleyeland this morning. He registered at the Wal- dorf, where Mrs. Hanna and daughters have veen for the past month. Mr. Hanna was accompanied to this city by Colonel 8. T. Everett, a Cleveland banker. The Republican chairman was accorded a rousing reception at Ashtabula, Ohio, and FErie, Pa., where he made brief speeches. On his arrival at the Waldorf Mr. Hanna was greeted by a host of friends and held informal receptions. He was in the best of spirits, but declined to be interviewed until he had met Mrs, Hanna and his daughters, Mr. Hanna came downstairs in about an hour and talked freely 1o the reporters. ““What, in your opinion, chanced the farmers’ vote to McKinley in the Middle- Western States?'’ he was asked. Mr. Hanna paused a moment and then said: “Well,"the farmers of the Middle ‘West were away off in the beginning on the money question and on the results that would follow McKinley’'s election. They believed at first that if McKinley was elected silver would be wiped out of circulation. The farmers confounded the gold standard with monometallism, but they learned the truth, as the result of the campaign shows.” “Do you think the tariff guestion fig- ured :uch in the resuit?” “Yes, sir; decidedly so, It figured very, very much,” and Mr. Hanna beamed all over. Mr. Hanna was then questioned about what would be Major McKinley's position | on the tariff question. vould prefer to let Major McKinley speak for himself on that question,” he replied. 7 He then called attention to what Mec- Kinley said at the banquet of the Mar- quette Club in Chcago on February 12 last—Lincoln’s birthday. “Major McKinley then ssid,” Mr. Hanna continued, *“‘I am not an advo- cate for schedules, but for the principies of protection.”” “Do you feel that the silver question is deaa?” “Well, I feel that it is the beginning of the end. 1don’t hesitate to say that the result of this election will bring about a serious consideration of this question and that the opinion of the country will be re- flecied in the Senate and Congress.’” When asked what he thought of the ad- vance in securities since election day Mr. Hanna said: It was to bé expected, and I predict that every business interest which depends oa confidence in our Gov- ernment, and that means all but specula- tive interests, will be permanently bene- “YOU ARE A HOODOO, AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF IT.” fited. The peovle are satisfied now that there will be no wild financial legislation and this confidence will bring prosperity. We have the Presid-nt, the Senate and the House of Representatives, so there is no room for any kind of doubt.” Vice- President-elect Hobart dropped in to see Mr. Hanna. He and Mr. Hanna haa a very warm handshake, and they exchanged mutual congratulations over the result of the election. All the execu- tive committeemen also congratulated Mr. Hobart as Vice-President-elect. Mr. Ho- part was closeted with Mr. Hannafor s long time discussing the results of the election. He had nothing to say for pub- lication. Mr. Hanna said to-night he haa received a telegram from Senator .Warren of Wy- oming stating that he was absolutely sure of one electoral vote and possibly the re- maining two. R AN EXTRA SESSION. McKinley May Call Congress After inauguration. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—A Herald special from Washington savs: An extra session of the Fifty-fifth Con- gress immediately after the inauguration of McKinl-y is notimprobable. 8 ouid Mc- Kinley desire to carry out the spirit of his party platform and secure the enactment of legislation to correct existing evils in the monetary system, his chances for suc- cess would undoubtedly be greater if Congress was called early, when the Re- | rublican Representatives and Senators | would beanxious to please the President, s as to have a voice in the disiribution of patronage. The Republican majority in the House will be so large that any line of party policy decided upon can be quickly passed | in that body. The majority inthe Senate, however, is of such a character as to muke it probable that no important measure can pass that body without a prolonged fight. . PRESS AND THE PEOPLE. Both Are Given the Credit of Maln- taining National Honor. CANTON, Omio, Nov. 5—Major Me- Kinley found time to-night to say a few words about the election. He spent t e evening at home and chatted with a num- ber of his friends. To the correspondent of the United Associated Pre:ses who asked him tv what he attributed the suc- cess of the Republicans he said: “I do not care to be interviewed, but I will say that 1 think the patriotic effort of the men of both the old parties have brouxzht about the result. Ardentand de- voted as have been the Republicans every- where, equally pronounced and helpful was the attitude of the sound money Democrats, Then the press of the coun- try, the intelligent and enthusiastic efforts of the journals of both parties, have been a mi-hty factor in the result and aid to the Republican cause.” R e AT CARLISLE FOR SENATOR Bsing Pushed as a Successor to Joe Blzckburn. LOUISVILLE, Kv., Nov. 5.—Carlisle is being pushed for United States Senator despite the fact that the Republicans have seventy votes, or enough to elect on joint baliot in the Legislature. ‘The Evening Times says: We would not be surprised if, when Joe Blackburn vacates his seat in the Sinate on the 3d of next March, John Carlisle shall step in on the 4th and fill it us it has not been filled since the mortal Clay put on immortality. It s in the cards to transfer Carlisle f.om the Treasury to the Cavitol, and they will be played for all there is in them. A dispa ch from Frankiort says Black- burn’s supporters think that they have discovered a way to prevent ihe election of a Republican Senator. Judge Leiberth of Covington, who was & member of the last Legislature, has accepted the position of Ch:ef of Police of Covington. They claim that this invalidates his seat in the Legis- lature, which he do s not resign, and to which it is said Kline, R., was elecied at the recent election without ihere having been a special election called by Governor Bradley, as was the case in other districts Where there were vacancies, PROSPERITY |5 ASSURED New Fra Alreadi Dawns Among the Country’s Factories. NIAGARA COUNTY’S BIG INDUSTRY. | Presiden(-Eect McKinley Presses the Magic Button That Brings Joy. HUNDREDS OF M'N GET WORK AT IRONTON. And Great Activity May Now B: Expected in Every Branch of Trade. NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y., Nov. 5.—One of the biggest demonstrations ever witnessed in Nia:-ara County took place bere this aft rnoon when the Niagara Iron | Foundry at Ironton was formally opened, and 300 additional men given employ- ment at the new plant. The event marks the beginning of an era of prosperity here, and it was fittingly ceiebrated. At 2:30 o’clock a procession was formed, and, preceded by a brass band, marched to the iron works. There tue furnaces bhad been prepared for lighting, and promptly at 3 o’clock President-elect Mc- Kinley touched & button in his house at | Canton, and tie electric wire connecting it with the furnace emitted a spark which ignited the inflammable material, and the new blast furnaces were put in opera- tion. A telephone message was sent to the North-side Water Works, where a signal was given by a sieam whistle, and soon every whistle and fire-alarm gong in the city rang out the glad tidings. The day was observed as a holiday. CHICAGO, Iin, Nov. 5.—President Gates of the Iilinois Steel Company said: “In consequence of the viciery of sound money we started up our Joliet works last night, which gives employment to 2800 men. I think that within a few weeks, probably early in December, we will start up the South Chicago works. We huve also pians under consideration for extend- ing our plant in Miiwaukee, but nothing is definizely s-ttled.” HAGERSTOWN, Pa, Nov. 4. — The R. and A. Kniitin -mills in this city siarted up yesterday with a full force of hands. A large number of orders were on hand awaiting the result of the eleciion. The orders had been given conditionaily on McKinley’s election. i LOUISVILLE, Kx., Nov. 5.—The Louis- viile Chair Works, employing 125 men, have increased wages 10 per cent, owing to McKinley's election. . The Ohio Falls Car Work<of Jefferson- ville, Ind., employing 2500 men, have a coniract for 2000 cars contingent on Me- Kinley’s election, and the plant will start up in.a few da PROVIDENCE, R.

BALTIMORE, Mbp., Nov. 5.—Alexander Brown, head of the banking-house of Alex- ander Brown & Sons, who a few days ago was ¢redited with baving said that notless than $16,000,000 was simply waiting Me- Kinley’s election for its investment in industrial enterprises im Maryland, said to-day: “Some time ago I stated that $16,000,000 was ready to invest in this State in the event of McKinley’s election. While I cannot give the details regarding the | transactions involving the money, I can say that it 1s available and that it wili be immediately invested in pulpmills, iron- mulls, various other manufactories, and in | the promotion and development of the | industrial interests of Baltimore and the | State, and that thousands of men will be benefited thereby. Capital has con- fidence, and its influence toward the re- turn of general prosperity will soon be felt.” Sicags o GOLD NO LONGER HOARDED Bankers, Pay Out Yellow Metal When It Is Desired. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 5.—Gold was paid out on demand to-day at all the St. Louis baunks. President Thompson of the Na- tiona! Bank of Commerce said: “We have ordered our paying teliers to pay in gold whenever it is a-ked for. We did this as the result of the election of Mec- Kinley. Before the election we dared not, | as the demand for gold by those who feared the success of the silver m vement would have exbausted our supply. President Charles Parsons of the State | Bank, said: | *“We are giving out gold now to ali who ask for it, because we know gold payments will be kept up by the Government. The sixty or eichty million dollars of gzold which have been hosarded will come out and go into circulation, or be derosited in banks and all reasonable accommoda- tions will be given to manufacturers and merchants. GERMAN BANKERS SPEAK. They Say That Business Is Already Improving. BERLIN, GerMaxy, Nov. 5.—Herr Blei- schroder, the great German banker, in an interview on the result of the Presidential election, expressed the opinion that the election of McKinley had made a most ex- cellent impression in Gérmany, but added that he was unable to .oretell whether un- toward circumstances woula arise later to undo the good that has already been done. Herr Koch, director of the Deutsche Bank, said: “The election of McKinley has had the best possible effect uvon the German bourses and miarkets. I feel confident that McKinley as President, will act differently from what be did as a committeeman in Congress.” Herr Guttman, director of the Dresden Bank, said: “The result of the election has made a splendid impression throughout the com- mercial world and promises for some years to come stability and guietness, with a rapid revival of trade and commerce. As regards the question of protection, even this must be awaiied calmly.”” Director Eisch of the Disconto Rank said: “The nirhimare has been removed. ‘Tne bourses do not expect that McKiniey will foliow as President the same lines which he pursued as a Congressman.” At the banking-house of Wiliiam Rosen- teim & Co.it was said: “We are not afraid of any high-tariff campaign. The money that was hoarded through fear of Bryan’s' success will now pour into the markets.” TR FIRST COME REVENUES. Senator McMillan Says the Present Money Is Al Right. McMillan in an interview to-day saidthat the first thingz to be done after McKinley is inaugurated and the new Congress comes in will be to devise means for in- creasing the revenues and placing the treasury on a better basis. Auy legislation upon the money of the country will have to wait upon that. The only thing to be done is to keep the money as good as it is now and to formu- late some plan for preventing the periodi- cal outflow of gold. That is really the weak spot in our present financial system, Wwhat Mr. Carlisle has called th: endless chain, BSome scheme to shut that off—the cancellation of the greenbacks or some other plan—must be put into operation. Asked whether he thought the new ad- ministration would make any effort to bring about the establishment of inter- national bimetallism, Senator McMillan said: No, I do not anticipate anything of the kind. As I said before, the money we have now is all right and tte system sat- isfactory, except for the occasional drain of gold, which creates panicky conditions.”” Plasis COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Engilshmen and Canadians Pleased With Eryan’s Defeat. LONDON, Exe., Nov. 5.—The Chronicle this morning says: “We offer our hearty congratulations to Major McKinley in so far as he represents National finance, on which alone modern credit can be based, but the record of the Republican party is too bad to encourage the hope of much good resulting from its success. We can- not see the reason why the American peo- ple should indulge in rosy prophecies of prosperity. The future depends upon conditions little connected with McKin- ley’s success.” The Chronicle will deny that the result of the campaign is a landslide, and will say that the surprise is not that Bryan re- | ceived so few voles, but rather that he se- cured as many as he did. *‘It is a somber reflection,” the Chronicle will conclude, “thatanything like a general depression will range so many citizens upon the side of wildeat currency schemes and virtual repudiation and even anarchy.” The Standard will say: “The complete rejection ot Bryan’s tempting programme, addressed to indolence, incapacity and cupidity, shows that these qualities are less wicely distributed in the United States than Bryan would have had us be- lieve. There has been a revolt of the bonest and loyal citizens who are solicit- ous for the fair name and fame of the re- public, and the Bryanites astonished the world by the comparaiive paucity of their numbers. -The hopelessly icrorant and savagely covetous waifs and strays of American civilization voted for Bryan, but the buik of the solid sense, basiness integ- rity and social ability sided with Mc- Kinley. “The Nation is to be heartily congratu- lated. The ~ictory hasdrawbucksfor Eng- lishmen, and indeed for every country in Europe engaged in msnufacturing inaus- tries. It is a triumph of good faith, but also a triumiph of protecuon.” TORONTO, OxTaRIO, Nov. 5.—Comment- ing on the result of the election in the United States the Worid says: “McKin- ley’s election means a great and almost immediate rev val in businessin the Re- public, but McKinleyism will directly or indirectly antagonize Canada in many ways—in the matier of the oonding privi- leges, in the matter of fisheries, in the mat- ter of canals and the like. Cleveland was hostile on occzsions, but McKinley will be hostile on principle. ; But this very nostil- ity will make us more self-reliant, more determined to be sufficient for ourselves, to work out our own salvation, to meet fire with fire. We cannot play the lamb to the American wolf.” The Globe says: The dissatisfied classes, both rural ‘and urban, buve made a mistake in their first concerted efforis, ‘They adopted a policy that would not ac. complish tne ena in view. That will noy prevent them from seeking an effectua) policy at the next opporiunity—perbaps a policy more dangerous than currency de_ basement. Whalever issues may aris they nrust be faced and settled by the American people, for their soc.al discon’_ tent does not find asafety valve in emi- gration, DEFEAT I CONCEDED For Once Chairman Jonmes Gives OQut Straight News. CALIFORNIA IS CLAIMED BY POPOCRATS, They Also Insist That Nearly 190 Electoral Votes Are Secured. BRYAN YIELDS GRACEFULLY TO PUBLIC WILL. S:nds a Message of Congratulation to President-Elect William Mec- Kinley of Ohio. CHICAGO, Iun, Nov. 5.— Chairman Jones formally conceded the defeat of William J. Bryan to-night and made his last Presidential campaign siatement to the public. The silverstandard was really lowered last night so far as the election of 1896 is concerned when advices were re- ceived at headquarters from West Virginia conceding the elecioral vote of that State to McKinley, but it was decided not to make a public announcement of the fact until to-day. In the meantime Governor Stone arrived in Chicago from Missouri, in response to Senator Jones’ telegram. The National Committee chairman, the Governor and Campaign Chairman Campau were in con- ference this evening in the Senator’sroom, and at its conclusion the following states ment was given to the press: “The result of the Presidential election is apparently no longer in doubt. It has been one of the closest contests that the people have been called on te determine in recent years. We have claimed the election on our advices from States that were admittedly in doubt, in which we knew there had been many frauds, and from which there were evidences of tam= pering with the returns. “It seems now to be apparent that while Mr. Bryan, after making the most brilliant campaign in the history of our country, bas carried most of the States claimed to be doubtful, he has not carried enough to ~ecure his success in the electoral college. Bryan’s electors have been chosen in all the States south of the Potomac and Ohio except West Virginia and all those west of the Missouri except California and Oregon. He has 190 electoral votes, and this number may be increased by final returns from States yet in question. *Thus the remarkable campaign closes with the election of William McKinley. The result was brought about by every kind of coercion and iatimidation on tne part of the money power, incluaing threats of lockouts and dismissals and impending starvation; by the employment of by far the larpest campaign fund ever used in this country and by the subordination of alarge per cent of the American press. The President-elect and his party are under pledge to the American people to continue the gold standard and by its operation to restore prosperity to this country. “As chief executive Mr. Kinley will have the cordial support of the millions of patriotic Americans who have cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan. They bow (o the majesty o! the office and abide by the result with none of the mut- terings that would bave come from the money power had it been unsuccessful. They are confident the gold standard can- not give the promised prosperity, but will gladly welcome it if it comes. They will continue the great struggle for the uplifting of humanity and to the main- tenance of the dignity of our country in the establishment of an American mone- tary system. And the Democratic party, aided by its present allies, will still uplift the bimetallic standard and bear it on to victory. James K. Jonxs, Chairman Democratic National Come mittee.” Senator Jones and his family, excepting his son, Kimbrough, will leave for their Arkansas home to-morrow morning, his son remaining to wind up the affairs of headquarters. National Committeemen Jobnson, Walsh and Campau will depart for their homas by the end of the week, when there will be nothing left but a memory of both Republican and Demo- cratic headquarters. o et gl i TRIES TO BE CHEERFUL. Mr. Bryan Bows to Public Will and Sends Congratu ations. LINCOLN, NeBr.. Nov. 5.—The first in- formation that Senator Jones had con- ceded the election of McKinley was given to Mr. Bryan at 8 o'clock this evening, through the medium of a United Asso- ciated Presses bulletin. Mr. and Mrs, Bryan were out walking when the bulletin was received. They had been in dcors all day, and after supper decided to takea little needea exercise. Justas the clock in the library of the Democratic candi- date’s cosy little home was striking ‘he hour husband and wife returned. Mr. Talbot, Mr. Bryan’s law vartner, who has just been elected to the Nebraska Legisla- ture on the Republican ticket, and several newspaper men were in the library at the time. Mr. Bryan read the bulletin with« out showing any signs of feeling, and re- marked as he finis ed: “I'll wait to hear from Senator Jones before saying anye thing.” Then he put on a velvet nouse jacket and began chatting pleasantly with some personal friends who were with him in the parlor. There was nothing of the pa- thetic in the scene. Mr. Bryan bad not clung to the hopes held out to him by some of his enthusiastic followers and was prepared for the news. His wife, too, knew that nothing encouraging was to be
