2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1896. expected. Her natural govd nature came to the fore when she realized that the strain was over, and she laughed and joked with those about her while Mr. Bryan also chaffed the newspaper men during the wait ior the official message from Senator Jones. Half an hour later a telegraph messenger handed a dispatch to the de- feated candidate. “You may say,” said be, turning to the newspaper men after reading the telegram, “that the election of McKinley is con- | ceded, and I will issue & siatement to- night.” Then he sat down at the big oak desk at which he works and began writing a mes- sage of congratulation to his victorious opponent, Mrs. Bryan leaning over his shoulder as his pencil wentover the paper. This was the message: Hon. William McKinley, Canton, Ohio: Senator Jones has just informed me that the returns indicate your election, and I hasten to extend my congratulations. We have submitted the 1ssues to the American people and their will is law. ‘WILLIAM J. BRYAN. Mr. Brvan paused once during the writing to tell a humorous story apropos of a remark made by one of those about bhim. When he had finished, he handed the dispatch to a messenger. Mr. Bryan then told another story. There appeared to be mothing forced about the pleasant manner of the young political leader. He seemed actually happy that the strain was over. He told the representative of the United Associated Presses in the conver- sation that ensued that to-night he would prepare a stgtement to be issued to the bimetallists of the country, and would make it public before noon to-morrow, and not this evening, as he had previously said. Mr. Bryan said he did not care to say anything about the result «of the election to-night, but in response to a question as to whether he thought McKinley’s election was & blow to the cause of bimetallism, he responded: “The fight has just com- menced.” SEE VICTORY IN DEFEAT. Popocrats Yet Hopeful for Free Stiver Colnage. CHICAGO, lun, Nov. 5—Chairman Washburn' closed the Chicago headquart- ers of the People’s party National Com- mittee to-nixht and will depart for his home in Boston to-morrow morning. In aboat ten days he will go to Washington to confer with Senators Jones and Butler in regard to the future policy of the allied silver forces. In this connection Mr. ‘Washburn said toa reporter for the United Associated Presses: “*As a result of the present campaign we find victory in defeat. The fact that so much was accomplished in so short a time with the limited means inspires the belief that we can win four years hence. ‘We were confronted with a united army and an unparalleled campaign fund, while our own forces were divided, with secret foes in cur midst as well as fusion diffical- ties and the amaigamation of opposinz‘ forces to contend with. Mr. Bryan made the greatest campaign recorded in political | history and stands unrivaled as a leader. Revolutions never go backward and the momentum of this campaign will be con- tinued by the allied silver forces. “I believe this election will result in separating the gold chaff from the silver wheat and force the traitors in the silver | ranks to unite with the Republicans, | where they belone. It is worth all our| effort to shake off these barnacles and | start afresh with renewed hope. In order | thatall the elements constituting the move- | ment—the silver Republicans, silver Dem- | ocrats and Populists—may be satisfied, it | may become necessary to merge all these | forces into onme great army under a new | name. It israrely that a new great issue | succeeds under an old party name. | ““We begin the Congressional fight of 1898 apd the Presidential fight of 1900 to-morrow. We shall have a conference | of our National leaders within a short | time, when the plansof the contest and | the policy of the future may be determ- ined upon. Let no one believe that silver | is defeated. The movement is simply | vurified and regenerated. In a new form, | with new hope and vigor and with the | gold-bug traitors eliminated from the | movement, we emerge from this contest stronger than ever to march forward to | the victory which awaits us.” CHICAGO, TrL., Nov. 5.—Senator Teller of Colorado left for home yesterday. Be- fore going he said: *‘Tuesday’s election | settles the fact that fully half the States | are for silver, and I would not be sur-| prised if it should still turn out that Bryan | is elected. Whatever the result, however, the silver question will continue to be an | } issue. The people have never be- fore understood the silver issue. his campaign of education = has | been of great benefit to the silver cause. | A fortnigt longer and there wou.d have | been no question about the result, No, sir; silver is not a dead issue.” In regard to the fusion question Senator Teiler said he had nothing to say. MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Nov. 5.—E. C. Wall, the Silver Nat'onal Committeeman, | last night gave outa long interview on | the result. He said: “I do not believe | that this election will settle the quesiion | of bimetallism. The Democratic party is now committed to that doctrine and will stand by it. ' There will henceforth be but 1wo great parties in this country, one for free silver coinage and the other against it. The next campaign will be foughton the same lines, and the fight will continue until the advocates of a restoration of silver to its coinage rights win the battle. I would not be surprised if the fusion of Democrats and Populists should become permanent, since there is a common ground of doctrine on which the. parties may remain united. The intercourse we have bad with the Populists in this cam- paign has been very pleasani. We have found them sincere and enthusiastic.” HELENA, Moxt., Nov. 5.—Discussing the result, Senator Carter said: “The election of McKinley bids the American people renew hope in the future. That the newly elected President will justify the expectations of the people no one famiijar with bis past record and great ability can question. It must be understood, however, that his path is lia- ble to be beset with difficulties, Itisob- vious the Senate will be very close on the subject of tariff lemislation. The very large vote for Bryan will admonish those in authority of the necessity for prompt and vigorous efforts in the direction of securing results on the coinage question in accordance with the party platform. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 5.—The Bimetallic Lesgue of Great Britain 1s about to issuea proclamation setting forth that the elec- tion of McKinley is a victory for interna- tional bimetallism, quoting in support of this contention from the monetary plank adopted by the Republican econvention held at 8t. Lows, concluding with a pledee to promote an international agreement for & bimetallic standard among the commer- cial nations of the world. i SENATOR PALMER’S VIEW. SPRINGFIELD, Irn., Nov. 5.—Senator John M. Palmer last evening made the | county’s vote be ttrown out. { in Breckinriage’s favor. 1 11:30 o’clock : follow:ng statement regarding tbhe result of the election: “The Democrats who voted for Bryan at this election did so with the knowledze that he accepted the Populist platform ot 1892, as well as their platform adopted in St. Louis in 1896. The National Democ- racy will never seek an alliance with the Populists. I predict that Mr. Bryan, who voted for Weaver in 1892, will soon aban- don tbe Democratic name. His candi- dacy, which w: n example of unreason- ing socialism, was exploded by the elec- tion of McKinley at the late election. The issues of the canvass were dictated to the Chicago convention by a combination of politicians who were without principle and only sought success. “Bryan, thanks to the good sense and integrity of the American people, is de- feated. Democrats know that protection, as the Republicans calls it, is a fallacy, but they also know that the uniimited coinage of silver on the ratio of 16 to 1 will deprave the American monetary system and produce infinite mischief. They have accepted the lesser of the two evils. I ap- prove cof thelr conduct, and thank the Democrats who have voted azainst Bryan and Altgeld, who are the representatives of a depraved currency and social dis- order.” —— KENTUCKY. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 5.—Both sides continue to claim Kentucky; the Repub- licans give figures, but Secretary Richard- son of the Democratic committee declines to give out any information in the posses- sion of his committee, excent to make the statement that Bryan has carried the State. Chairman Roberts of the Repub- lican committee said at 8 o’clock to-night: “McKinley has carried Kentucky by at least 800, and they cannot count usout. Wedcpend on the Eleventh District to overcome the plurality in eight districts. We expect at least 14,000 plurality in the Eleventh. This will give us 400 plurality in the State, and I expect it to go to 600. The Democratic pluralities from Western Kentucky are almost exactly the same as Chairman Sommer<’ estimates, and this looks as if his managers there gave him just what he asked for.” In a telegram to Canton Mr. Roberts said: “Democrats are howling that we are counting them out in the mountains. This is to hide the absurdly large Bryan majorities in Owen, Graves, Union and a dozen other counties.” The Evening Times gives the State to McKinley by 478 plurality, It will take the official count to decide the reasult. Information was given out at Repubii- can beadguarters that Colonel W. C. P. | Breckinridge will certainly contest the election of Evan Settle, free-silver Demo- crat, as Congressman from the Seventh District on the ground of fraud. Colonel Breckinridge has sent two attorneys to Owen County to witness the official count. The fight for Kentucky's electoral vote grows warmer every minute. The Demo- crats are trying to turow out two iarge Reputlican “precincts in Christian and | McCracken counties on the ground of irr gularities in registration. LEXINGTON,Ky., Nov. 5.—The chances are that there will be a contest over the Seventh District, where Colonel Breckin- ridge was deteated, Mauy lawyers are of the opinion tbat holding primaries for county officers to be elected a year hence in Owen County on the same day that the general election was held (Tuesday) clearly invalidates the vote of Owen County, and it may be asked that the This will be It develops that no election oflicers were appointea in Breathitt County until on the morning of the election, and that only silver men were putin. cratic majority is 150 more than ever be- fore, when the neighboring counties showed smaller majorities. In Owen County a primary election was held for county officers in violation of the law. The throwing out of these two counties would make McKinley’s majority 4000. ol NORTH CAROLINA. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 5—Bryan car- ries North Carolina by 15,600, is the official statement made at Democratic State head- quarters, The Republican Statechairman concedes his victory, but declares his ma- jority is only 6000. The Repubtican State chairman announces the following as Con- 2000, gressional majorities: Skinner P, White (colored) R. 3000, Fowler P. Stoud P. 3200, Kitchen D, 340, Mar nearly 2000, Shuford P. 400, Linne R. 2 Pearson R. 1400. He also says that Rus- sell, R., is eiected Governor by 12,000 plurality. Republican Chairman Holton said at “I concede that Bryan gets 12000 majority in North Carolina. We lack only about eleven of having enough members of the Legisiature to elect a Sen- ator on a straight fight. The Populists will co-operate with us to elect a Repub!i- can Senator.” A Repubiican committeeman says the Republicans have endeavored to aid in the election of Populists friendly to the re-election of Senator Pritchard. It ap- pears that the latter will be elected, though the Populists really hold the bal- ance of power and can name the Senator if they shoula desire to do so. A Populist State committeeman says the Populists will nominate a silver man for Senator. The Democratic estimate of the Legisia- ture is 57 Republicans, 47 Populists and 44 Democrats, with 18 seats in doubt. Most of the latter, it is thought, will be either Populist or Republican. arizaraal i, TENNESSEE. MEMPHIS, Tess.,, Nov. 8.—Each side is waiting for the other to make returns from Tuesday's election. The margin be- tween the two parties in the guberna- natorial race is certainly very close and both are thus far warranted in adhering to the claim of victory on the State ticket. The missing Democratic counties sre in ‘West Tennessee, the Republicans in the eastern division, and both are more or less inaccessible 8o far as communication facilities are concerned. One third of the counties are still out, and they are about equally divided in the majority of their resp ctive sides. Owing to peculiarc n- ditions estimates are unreliable, and the only thing todo is to wait for the actual fi_ures. At 9:30 o’clock to-night the returns in give the Republicans a lead of about 3000. Democratic managers claim the State by 10.000. Reliable returns (official) and reports received by the Nashville Sun from eighty- nine out of ninety-six counties in Ten- nessee, with conseryative estimates on re- maining counties, give Taylor (D.) for Governor 7590 meiority over Tiliman (R.). The Bryan ticket will lead the State Demo- cratic ticket by from 5000 to 10,000, i NORTH DAKOTA. BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 5.—Returns are coming in so slowly that it is aifficult to form any inteliigent estimate on the Legislature, Very little is known yet ex- cept as to the electoral ticket, Governor The Demo- | and Congressman, but there is every indi- cation that the Republicans will have both In the Senate tbe Republicans have elected all but a few Senators who hold over. Friends of Senator Hansbrough claim he has a majority of the Republicans thus far known to be elected. In the three dis- tricts of Grand Forks County all the Re- publican Legislative nominees were Hans- brough men, and two are elected. Johnson for Congress is running behind the Republican ticket. The fusionists claim Johnson’s defeat by Burke, and there is some betting on the result. Re- ports from Grand Forks, Burleigh, Traille, Morton and Lamoure counties show that the entire Republican Legislative ticket is elected. McKinley has now 3800 majority. el il SOUTH DAKOTA. PIERRE, 8. D., Nov. 5.—Both Dé&mo- crats. and Republicans are much excited to-night over the closeness of the returns, and charges and counter charges of fraud are freely made. At Fort Pierre s num- ber of arrests were made this afternoon for illegal voting and twenty more will follow to-morrow. The situation is one of exireme tension. It is now conceded by both sides that whichever way the elec- tion goes the plurality will not be over 600 or 700. The Republicans are gaining slightly, and assurances are repeated that McKinley will get the State by a small majority. The Legisiature will be Popu- list by twelve to filteen. The returns are not yet in from fifteen counties. McKin- ley has a lead of 650. Populist Chairman Boules claims the State for Bryan by 500. Republican Cheirman Elliott claims it for McKinley by 700. Snowstorms in the western part of the State make reports slow. The railroad and mining vote went solidly for Bryan. Congres-man Pickler' announces his withdrawal from the S natorial contast. Congressman Gamble thinks he is elected. Senator Pettigrew has advisea Populists through the State that the State is theirs and that the Republicans will attempt to steal it OHIO. COLUMBUS, Onro, Noy. 5.—The elec- tion in this Congressional district, the Twelfth, is very close and will probably resuit In a contest in the House. The official returns give Lentz D. 54 prurality, but mistakes involving more than that number of votes have been discovered here and in Fairfiela County, which are being clcsely pressed by the candidates' attor- neys as ground for throwing out precincts. Brenner D. has a plurality of 120 by the unofficial returnsin the Third District. A contest may result there. The Demo- crats have carried four districts beyond question, viz., the Fourth, Fiith, Thir- teenth and Seventeenth. Tie Republi- cans have the other fiiteen districts. A A INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp, Nov. 5.—Indi- ana complete, with the returns of thirty- six counties taken from the official count and the rest unofficial, gives the State to McKinley by 22,145. The Republican State ticket bas run within about 1000 of this. The resulis as wired in eive only pluraliti d dn not mention the Palmer e, but it is.not thought it will run over 3000. - The official count gives the Ninth { District to Landis R., over Cheadle Pop., by 220. This makes the delegation stand four Democrats and nine Republicans. The Republicans have a majority of 20 in the Senate and 6 in the House. WYOMING. CHEYENNE, Wyo.,, Nov. 5. — At 11 o’clock returns from all but 45 precincts in Wyoming give pluralities of 350 for one of the MeKinley el ctors and 1382 for each of the other two. Of the 66 precincts to hear from 13 are usually Demovratic and 53 Republican. The Republican State Confmittes esti- mates the plurality for its electoral, Con- gressional and State ticket when full re- turns are in will be 500. The returns received to the present time show that the Republicans have carried seven counties in the State and the Democrats fi e. The Republicans wiil control both branches ot t e State Legislature, with 19 Democrats and 38 Republicans on joint ballot. > et NEW MEXICO. SANTA FE, N. Mex., Nov. 5.—Returns are very slow coming in. At 7 p. M. re- turns from 135 precincts out of 418 gave Fergu-on D., Congressman, 1546 majority over Catron, the Republican candidate. For the Legislative Assembly returns in- dicave the Council to be Democratic by one and the House still in doubt, being claimed by both sides. e ot NEW YORK. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Complete returns on ihe vote for G vernor give the plurality for Black as 208,679, the total vote being: Black R. 780.509, Porter D. 571,830, Griffin N. . 22196. As was the case on the Presidency Sihoharie County only was carried by Porter. The complete returns for President in this city makes McKinley’s pluraiity 19,795. SR INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Nov. 5. — Re- turn« from all counties in 1ndiana show McKinley’s majority to be £2,179. The Republicans elect 53 members ot the House, the Democrats 47. The Senate stands 3¢ Republicans and 16 Democrats, The Congressional delegation will be 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats, one dis- trict being still in voubt, it o £ ILLINOLS. CHICAGO, IrL.,, Nov. 5.—Unofficial re- turns from all of the 102 counties in II- linois, including Cook, give McKinley a plurality of 144,131 and Tanner a plurality of 115,504, Complete vfficial returns may change these figures a trifle, but this is practically the result in the State. — VIRGINIA.

Van Dorren, a cousin of Vice-President-elect Hobart, died this morning from injuries received from the explosion of a cannon which he was firing to celebrate the Republican victory. A large piece of the cannon struck Mr. Van Dorren in the stomach, tearing it in a terrible manner, He suf- fered great agony until desth intervened. He wasa veteran of the Civil War and had resided here all his life. B THE NEXT CONGRESS. The House Wil Have 213 Repub- licans, 118 Democrats and 24 Fusionists. NEW YORK, N. Y..

Y., Nov. 5.—The status of the United States Senate after the 4th of March nextis still a matter of doubt. Present indications, however, are that the Republicans will be compelied to seek recruits from those of their number who joined the free silver forces last spring or an alliance with sound-money Democrats to accomplish legislation affect- ing either finaneial or tariff questions. The Senate in the Fifty-fifth Congress probably will be composed of the follow- members, the blanks being in States where Senators are yet to be elected and the result not certainly known.

As President, Major McKinley Wil Protect Amerlcans. WABHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 5.—In its bearing on tne international relaiions of the United Siates McKinley’s election is considered important as insuring a sta- bility of policy hardly to be looked for in cae men new in questions of foreign affairs bhad been swept into executive vower. The public men who will natur- ally be in the front rank of the forthcom- ing administration are known quantities, and there is general confidence that their attitude to the rest of the world will not essentially diverge from the long estab- lished course of those who have been most prominent in McKinley’s support, and who are therefore relied upon to be his closest agvisers. The most marked departure anticipated from President Cleveland’s external pol- icy relates to Hawaii. A prompt return to President Harrison’s plan of annexa- tion is expected in accord with his treaty, which President Cleveland’s first official action aiter inauguration was to withdraw from the Senate four years ago. Not the slightest doubt exists that the next Secretary of State will be in complete barmony with President Harrison in this matter, as McKinley was well known to have been. The only other reversal of policy looked for isthat which must re- sult from the customs tariff revision de- manded by the imperative necessity of in- creasing the revenue immediately after the 4th of March. The reciprocity arrangements abrogated without warning by the Wilson-Gorman bill are regarded as sure of res¥scitation at the earliest possible moment, and it is not thought now a change in sugar duties in accordance with Mr. McKinley's well- known views could be affected without sweeping away the friction existing be- tween this country and Germany, Austria | and other beet sugar exporting countries, | growing out of the unequal bounty sys- tems and discriminating duties. In the Turkish and Cuban affairs no change whatever is likely to occur. The issues involved in Turkey have been prac- tically unaltered for thirty years and all precedents now being followed are those of McKinley’s long line of predecessors. | Sboud the Cuban complication coatinue until March it is well understood that the : ; United States wiil preserve its strict neu- trality, as was done when Grant was in the ‘Wuite House. The first practical step in jthe Vene- zuelan controversy having already been accomplished there would be no wonder if it were entirely settled at anv moment as far as diplomacy goes. This was the sin- gle great advance of the present adminis- tration after many fruitless efforts, and 1ts successor may have only to insist upon the execution of an exhaustive agreement for arbitration. S MERCHANTS ARE JUBILANT | Satisfaction Expressed In Gotham’s + Chamber of Commerce. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—The regu- lar monthtly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held at noon to-day, partook of the nature of a jubilee meeting over the success of sound money. The president's desk and the pillars on both sides were draped with National flags, There was a full attendance of members and as Presi- dent A. E. Orr rose to cali the meeting to order he was greeted with applause. Secretary Wilson and Henry Hintz, chairman of the social committee on sound financial legislation, addre-sed the members of the chamber, congratulating tbem upon the success of the sound- money candidates, and submitied a report {of the committee reviewing the work done by it in the interest of sound money. | The report thanks the newspapers and | business throughout the country for their co-operation in the advocacy of sound money. In his address President Orr congratu- any parly, but the patriotic work of men of all parties. He said that they had united in opposing a crafty and treacher- ous foe, who, he said, **haviag gathered together the disorganizing, the disturbing | and the dissatisfied elements in the land, | ought to overthrow the most magnificent | ystem of free eonstitutional government the world has ever known."” e, | THOSE “CRUEL FAKES.” Inaccurate Election Bulletins Sent by the Chicago Press Concsrn. SPRINGFIELD, Iun, Nov. 5.—The News says editorially: The Chicago As- sociatrd Press is either dishonest or is | controlled by an iridescent dreamer who | thinks dishonest election returns can be palmed off upon honest and honorable newspapers. The utter worthlessness of the Chicago Associated Press was never more clearly demonstrated than it was by its bogus election bulletins, in which it stirred ap a confiding public. It at- | tempted to hoodoo the News with its bosh, bot the News telegraph editor saw the little game and consigned the *‘spe- cial” to the waste basket. The United Associated Presses furni hed the only re- liable report received in Springfield. The News is prouler to-day of the United As- sociated Presses than v'r. | INDIANAPOLIS, Isp., Nov. 5—The | Sun, under-the caption *‘Cruel Fakes,” | editonally says to-day: The bulletins posted yesterday afternoon by the Sentinel and News were fakes, no matter if they were furnished by the notorions Chicago Associated Press. These bulletins con- veyed the impression (o the public that Bryan might be elected. The result was the wildest excitement through the city and great damage to business. The only unreliable and unwarranted bulletins in- duced men to wager their money on the result and those who bet on Bryan, and there were many of them, if all seports are true, lost heavily. At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon enough was known of the electoral vote to war- rant the positive announcement that Bryan had been defeated. These facts the Sun, with the aid of the alwaysac- curate and reliable reports of the United Associated Presses, was able to publish in its columns and also announce through its bulletins. In the future the public will no doubt view with mistrust the an- nouncements of these papers and their unreliable new: rvice and naturally turn to the Sun and the United Associated Presses, both of which are honest enough to deal only in facts. R FAULKNER’S LAST WAIL. Follows Senator Jon Up the Ghos! ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5—Chair- man Faulkner of the Democratic Con- gressional committee to-night gave out the following: Chairman Jones informed me that he will concede the election of McKinley. The confidence which Senator Jones has inspired and the manner in which he has conducted the camvaien will warrant me in saying that none will question the pro- priety of his acting promptly in so grave a matter when once he had become thor- oughly satisfied from the returns in his possession that there remains no further in Giving | hope for the success of the magnificent leader whose plume has. been seen in the front of the line of battle in thirty States and whose eloquent voice in behall of the people’s cause has inspired millions of his fellow-citizens to strain every effort within the lines of legitimate controversy to secure victory which would relieve them from the merciless exactions of a continued contracting cur- rency. The National Democracy has been defeated, but from returns in our posses- | lated his bearers on the result of the elec- | tion. He declared it was not the work of | | noon the barge Young, of Marine City sion, and which we believe will be shown in the electoral collece, twenty-six States, with 200 eiectoral votes, have indorsed its candidates and approved its platform. 4 WINTER IN MIDDLE STATES. Chicago Weather Sharps Predict the Ap- proach of @ General htizzard. CHICAGO, IrL, Nov.5.—The weather sharps of Chicago predict a genuine biiz- zard is approaching this ecity.

Ind:fference Seems to Have Been the Bane of the Demo- cratic Party. Sam Rainey, the sage of the Warm Springs, is a pictaresque character in San Krancisco politics, and he is never more interesting than when he is talking to newspaper reporters. It is one of his theories that a statesman' ought not to be interviewed, but his practice does not al- ways conform to this theory. Mr. Rainey gives a novel reason for the defeat of Bryan in this City. He says it was due entirely to indifference among members of the Democratic party, and points to the fact that over 9000 registered voters neglected to go to the polls. Of these Registrar Hinton estimates that there are about 1000 sailors whose homes are in this City, but who are absent on the roliing deep. If you allow 1000 more for the class of nomads, who have no fixed abode and who were not here long enough to get in their votes, there are still about 7000 qualified voters who did not care to confront the somewhat difficuit task of making out an Austraiian ballot. “I found it hard to make up my mina whether to vote for Bryan or McKiniey,” said Mr. Rainey to a CALL reporter. e day before election a lady friend of minae spoke to me on the subject, and when [ told her of my state of mind she could hardly believe me, but I assured her that I was in earnest. I don’t mind telling you that I had not decided what to do in regard to the Presidential ticket eve and went into the booth. I made out my ticket for Coggressman and the Legisla- ture and was about toleave tne Presi- dential choice, but at the last moment I tnought I might as well let it all go to- gether, and so gave my vote to Bryan. “Now this illustrates what I was saying. 1f a man like myself could feel so doubt- ful and indifferent on this point, there must have been thousands of other Demo- crats who were in a similar frame of mind. That’s how the Republicans came to carry San Francisco for McKinley.” Mr. Rainey seemed to think it wus a good thing to have a majority of the Board of SBupervisors Democratic. Thirty minutes after the polls closed he predicted that the Democrats wouid have nine members of the board. 2 The partial success of the Democratic municipal ticket has given some comfort to those in high Democratic councils who are depressed on account of the dark outlook in the National field, yet they are notable to understand why so many voters who evidently supported the Democratic local ticket voted for the champion of sound money and protection. There is a general impression that the Examiner’s witd-eyed | articles drove many Democrats from Bryan, and 1t is a settled fact that the | Chronicle is in a great part responsible | for turning so much of the municipal | government over to the Democrats. In itical circles the explanation of Mr, iney is not generally accepted, though | it possibly has some foundation in regard to National politics. There is a well-defined opinion that Governor-elect Smith of Montana was cor- { rect when he declared that the laboring | ciasses of San Francisco had loyally sup- ported McKinley, and thav the returns bear him out in that position. Several of the local contests were so bit- | ter that men were willing to trade off the entire National, Congressionaland legisia- tive ticket for an 1nsignificant City office, and it is thought that these contracts for the tradimg of votes were, as a general thing, carried out according to the condi tions agreed on. fOUR LIVER LIVER LIVER LIVER LIVER LEIVER LIVER Jaundice.
