fallowing for Bryan in the West.
William McKinley has been elected
President of the United States. His
total vote in the electoral college, accord
ing to returns at hand when this is writ
ten, will be 201, with Kentucky and
Wyoming still in doubt. Whichever side
wins in Kentucky, conservative judges
5ny tlie plurality will not be over 1,000.
In Tennessee the figures seem to boar
out Democratic claims of victory for
Bryan by at least 10,000. The McKinley
people present totalized figures by sec
tions tending to prove that the Ohioan's
plurality will be several thousand, hut it
nould seem, judging by tlie returns, that
the burden of proof rests upon them.
Whether McKinley has over 2G" votes
in the electoral college depends upon the
official returns from two States. In Ken
tucky tho result hinges upon the vote in
two counties, in tho extreme eastern part
of the State a mountainous, "mooushin
ing" region, in which there arc neither
railroads nor telegraph lines. But even
with these counties heard from the con
test is so close that nothing short of the
official canvass will be decisive. Tlie
plurality for either ticket will be one of
hundreds probably less than 500. The
louflieting claims of the rival State chair
nen go for nothing. Wyoming, which
was first thought safely to be in the
Bryan column, although by a narrow
margin, is now counted among the Mc
Kinley States. The plurality will be
about 500, and the Legislature will be
of the same party faith. Tlie situation
in Wyoming, however, is substantially
the same as that in Kentucky. The dis
trict still to be heard from is 200 miles
from a telegraph office and the missing
returns may not be received for some
time. Should Bryan carry both Kentucky
and Wyoming McKinley will still have
a majority considerably more than enough
to give him possession of the White
House for four j ears to come.
Early returns indicating the result of
the presidential election were from the
cities where McKinley and Hobart made
their heaviest gains. Returns received
from the country districts, where the free
silver idea iiad gained greatest currency,
considerably reduce early estimates of
Republican pluralities in several of the
States. The returns, however, show that
McKinley not only carried all tlie "doubt
ful" States of the middle West from Ohio
to Iowa, together with Xew York and tin
New England States, but that he in
vaded the States of Maryland, Kentucky,
West Virginia and, possibly, Tennessee,
either winning in all of these States or
making such gains as must give him a
signally large popular vote. He carried
every State in the great region lying east
of the Missouri and north of the Ohio
nnd Potomac Rivers. There is not a
break between the rivers and the ocean.
Even Delaware joins the McKinley col
umn. In the battleground of the middle West
the majorities are amazing. Illinois
leads, with nearly 150,000, of which Chi
cago contributed 5toi!. Gov. Altgeld is
defeated by more than 100,000. The
State outside Chicago shows unesnectcd
Republican gains. "Wisconsin gives Mc
Kinley a plurality of 102,000, and later
returns may raise these figures. Indiana
is claimed by 20,000 and Michigan by
53,000. Iowa gives 72,000 and Minnesota
adds 50,000 more. In the East tho Mc
Kinley majorities arc tremendous. Penn
sylvania eclipses all records with n plu
rality appioaching 300,000. New York is
estimated at 275,000 in the latest returns..
.Massachusetts has given 10S,000, and all
the otlver Xew England States give large
majorities. Ohio U put at 50,000.
The great cities of the country have
given surprising McKinley majorities.
Philadelphia heads the list with 125,000.
Chicago, which was Democratic four
jcars ago, is second with 50.000. New
York City, which has not been carried
by the Republicans in a presidential elec
tion since the war. gives McKinley 10,
500. Louisville, the metropolis of Ken
tucky, comes up with 12,000. Indianap
olis, which was carried for Cleveland by
1.000 in 1S02, now gives McKinley 12,
000. Lincoln, Neb., Mr. Bryan's home, is
2,000 for McKinley. The Democratic
cities of Rochester and Albany, X. Y..
are now Republican. Detroit (Wayne
County) is reported at 1S.000. St. Louis
and Kansas City have given heavy Re
publican majorities.
The Palmer and Buckncr ticket is
everywhere returned at small ligures,ii(Ii
cating that foir-fifths of the gold Demo
cratic vote has been given to McKinley.
McKinley 's plurality of the popular vote
appears to be nearly 1,000,000.

CANDIDATES RECEIVE THE NEWS
Result of the Election Made Known
to McKinley and Bryan.
Seated in tho'library of his own house,
in his own town, surrounded by his fam
ily, Maj. McKinley received the news of
his election.
On election morning, just as the voters
in the nation were beginning to go to the
polls to deposit their ballots for or against
him, Maj. McKinley blacked his own
shoes and shaved himself as usual. An
ordinary man would be apt to cut himself
while shaving under the circumstances,
because of tlie excitement he wonld ex
perience, but Maj. McKinley was certain
ly calm and free from excitement, per
fectly cool and collected, as lie has been
all his life. He had never seemed to bo
excited over the election. His support
ers throughout tlie country have laughed
and wept over the contest more than he,
and most of them have been under a more
intense nervous strain. Wires had been

wire connected the McKinley home with
Chicago, where several prominent mem

telephone kept him in communication
with Chairman Ilnnua at Cleveland. The
telephone company arranged also a spe

JONES TO THE NATION.
Ue Analyzes the Causes Which Led
to Slclvlnley's Election.
Chairman James K. Jones, of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, gives his
analysis of the causes which led to Mc
Kinley's election in the following official
address, which he issued as his final ad
mission of defeat:
Tho result of the presidential election is
apparently no looser in doubt. It has been
one of the closest contests that the people
have bven called on to determine In recent
J ears. 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
evidencis of tampering with the returns.
It seems now to be apparent that, while
Mr. Iiryan, after making the most brilliant
campaign hi the history of our country and
has carried most of Ihe States claimed' to be
doubtful, has not carried enough to assure
his success In the electoral college. Iiryan
electors have been chosen from all of the
States south of the I'otomae and Ohio ex
cept West Virginia and all those west of the
Missouri except California and Oregon. He
has 1U0 electoral votes, and this number may
lie increased by flual returns from States yet
in question. lie has not obtained enough
votes to carry the electoral college.
Thus this remarkable campaign closes with
tlie election of William McKinley. The re
sult was brought about by every kind of
coercion and Intimidation ou the part of the
money power. Including threats of lockouts
and dlsmlss.ils and Impending starvation;
by the employment of by far the largest cam
paign fund ever used In this country, and by
the subornation of a large portion of the
American press
Tlie President-elect and his party are un
der pledge to the American people to con
tinue the go d standard, and by Its opera
tion to restore prosperity to this country.
As chief executive, Mr. McKinley will have
the cordial support or millions of patriotic
Americans who have cabt their otes for
William Jennings Iiryan. They bow- to the
majesty of the ollice anil abide by the result.
They are contident the gold standard can
not give the promised prospcritj. -but will
gladly welcome It if It comes. They will
continue the great struggle for the uplifting
of bunuiilty and In tho maintenance of the
dignity of our country In the establishment
of an American money sjstem. And the
Democratic party, aided by Its present allies,
will still uplift the bimetallic standard and
bear It on to victory. JAMCS K. JONKS.

Fusion and Special Conditions) Divide

In many of the States carried by Bry

Thomas E. Watson. In some States the
Populists indorsed Bryan and Sew.ill
electors by the terms of their fusion,

Iloscn Brown, Oldest Soldier.
Hosea Brown, of Grant's P.iss, Orc
Kon, is one of the .six survivois of the
war of 1812. When Mr. Brown was
born the French revolution was at its
height and the United States was n
mere baby of a republic. He is a un
live of Westmoreland, Cheshire Coun
ty, in Xew Hampshire, and is just 105
years old. His father fought in the
revolutionary war and was wounded in
one of the early engagements near Bos
Ion. Hosea is one of thirteen children
and the family is noted for Its lon
gevity. One of his brothers lived to be
BO and another to be !X! years old. A
century ago tho people of this country
had not tho saiuu facilities for educa
tion they are now blessed with, and
young Brown had to be content with
What learning he could get in an or
dinary log schoolhouso of the early
times. Three months of the winter ho
attended school, and the other reasons
of the year he spent on the farm. When
he readied the age of 20 bis father gave
him a little money and Hosea went to
New York and worked ou a farm in
that State for $12 a month.
About this time the United States en
tered upon its second war with Eng
land, and young Brown became a pri
vate lu the company of Captain Bur
giss Xew York Volunteers and march
ed to tho defense of Sackett's Harbor,
Lake Ontario. When the enemy's boats
began to come into view one of the
American commanders, who had spok
en of eating the British at sight, talked
less valiantly, and as lie saw the ships
coming at him in a swarm, ho doubted
the ability of tho American force to
withstand the red-coats. He saiu he
thought It would bo advisable to re-,
treat. As tlie boats approached the
shore this militiaman said to his sol
diers: "I know- we shall have to re
treat, and as I am a little lanio I'll start
now." And away he went. Tlie United
States commander (Brown, by name,
too), was ashamed of his compatriot
ind tried to stop tlie cowards, but
could not. The command to which
Hosea Brown belonged refused to run
with its friends nuil, stood .its groynd
unflinchingly. The battle was against
such odds, however, that a retreat was
necessary. -The United States generals
sent word to tlie Hying militiamen that
the enemy had been repulsed. This lit
tle trick had the desired effect, and
lack came the boys, who redeemed their
lost honor by converting almost certain
disaster into a glorious victors.
When his term of service expired
young Brown returned to Ids old home.
At the age of 24 years he married Miss
Hester Smith, who bore him two boys
md three girls. In lS2."i he went to
Catar.iugus County, Xew York, and
with no money made his real start in
life. He built a cabin for himself,
working upon it at night, and earning a
few cents by thrashing grain for ills
neighbors during the day. In this place
he lived forty years, and in that time
lost by death bis entire family. In
1S57 he went to Missouri; sold out his
property in Xew York, and for a time
stopped ili Worth County. Tiring of
living alone, lie finally removed to the
homo of his grandson, Orr Brown, with
whom lie mw resides.
Notwithstanding his great age, Mr.
Brown retains all his faculties. His
head is clear, his memory good, and his
nerves steady. But ho has not walked
for three yeais. He lives in a comfort
lble chair, and cordially receives the
visitors who call to see the old soldier
of the war of 1S12.
Under the original pension law Mr.
Brown received ?8 a mouth. This pen
sion was increased ten years ago to $12,
and in 1S01 Mr. Brown was granted a
special pension of ?40 a mouth. Last
year, in consideration of his extreme
age, his stipend was further increased
lo ?."0 a month. He is the oldest sol
licr receiving a pension, and the clerks
In the otlice take a special pleasure in
preparing his voucher and remitting
the money before any other old soldier
Is paid.
During the past year a most reinark
lble change has come to him. For
lift years his hair, thick and soft, has
been perfectly gray. Six months ago
it began to turn black and now there
is not a gray hair in his head.
How Vallnudicliam Was Received.
Dining Ihe mouth of May. ISiil, as
Private Nnimelee, of the, Fifty-lirsi
Alabama Kegiiuent, was on picket
about live miles from Murfroesboro,
Tenn., a Federal otlicer, carrying a Hag
of truce, rode up and inquired for the
Colonel of the regiment. Col. .T. I).
Webb was on the line, a couple oC miles
to the rear, and Nunnelee was sent to
Inform him that the Federals were de
sirous of passing the noted C. L-. A'al
landighani within tlie Confederate
lines, as per order of the Secretary of
War. Had he come as a recruit for the
ranks he would have been welcome,
but as a banished politician no one car
ed to take him. Col. Webb took his
time about riding to the front, and as
he got there Xuiinelee was sent down
the road to investigate a second white
(lag. This was waving above a buggy
occupied by a lieutenant and Mr. Val
landighaiti. The otlicer w.is driving
find the banished politician was sitting
Btiff and erect. But few words were
pas.sed as the officer drew rein.
He said to Xuunelce:
"Here is Mr. Vallandigliam, sen
tenced to banishment."
Addressing the latter, he said:
"Come; 1 have no time to spare."
"I protest against this outrage," 6aid
Vallandigliam.
"Yes, but hmry "P- I'll "le J'our
trunk off. Jump down now; good-day."
The man sprang into the vehicle,
turned arqund, and was off, leaving the
two &tanding in tlie road.
Previous to the war, Xuunelce was
editor of a paper at Eutaw, Ala., and
Vallandigliam was one of its readers.
As they stood there the soldier intro

duced himself, and the politician shook
his head and asked:
"What on earth are you doing here?"
"In the ranks."
"Are such men as you fighting in the
ranks of the Southern army?"
'Thousands of us."
"Then that settles it; the North can
never conquer you."
They went to the Colonel, and after
some conversation the ccile was re
ceived inside the lines. The incident
made quite a stir at the past, and could
the men have had their way they would
have headed the man for the Federal
lilies ami obliged him to letuin.
Happy with Her Rainbows.
"I warm up my little den with bright!
little pictures and rainbow glories from
prisms suspended in tlie wiudovvs. 1
am amused twenty times a day with
their fantastic variations. Sur.etinies'
tlie portrait of Charles Sumner is trans
figured by the splendid light, and somei
times the ears of my little white kitten!
in the picture opposite, are all aglov.'
The moss on a stick of wood in the cor
ner suddenly becomes Iridescent, and
then the ashes on the hearth look like
glittering soil where the metallic
gnomes live. I am childish enough to
Hud pleasure in all this, and to talk
aloud to the picture of a baby that Is
being washed. But you must not Infer
from this that I live for amusement.
On the contrary, I work like a beaver
the whole time."
Thus cheerily wrote Lydia Maria
Child to a friend during the second year
of the war, and she followed her little
burst of enthusiasm for her rainbows
by an enumeration of recent labors in
behalf of soldiers, hospitals and con
trabands, such as may well have kept
her busy as a bee, or a beaver.
Long after the war was ended and the
slaves set free, Mrs. Child, then living
alone in Boston, received a call from
her old friend. Mrs. Fields, who
brought with her Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps. In a recent chapter of her
reminiscences, Mrs. Phelps-Ward gives
a touching account of this visit:
"We climbed the steep stalrsof the
boarding house thoughtfully. Each one
of them meant some generous check
which Mrs. Child had drawn for the
benefit of something or somebody,
choosing this restricted hf2 as the price
of her beneficence.
"She received us In a little sitting
room which seemed to inc dreariness
personified. Everything was neat, re
spectable and orderly; but the paucity
of tho interior contrasted sadly with
the rich nature of Its occupant. I par
ticularly remember the tint of the car
peta lifeless brewn. The room was so
devoid of color as to seem like a cell;
and the winter daj had been a dark
one.
"As we sat talking, the sun battled
through the clouds, and then we saw
that Mrs. Child had tlie 'afternoon side
of her boarding house and knew how to
make the most of it. She rose quickly
and taking a little prism, which she evl
deutlp treasured hung It in the window
so "that it caught the southwestern ray.
"Instantlythe colorless room leaped
with rainbows. The sweet old lady
stood smilir!- in the midst of them. She
directed them this way and that, and
threw them all over the empty spaces
and plain furniture. She had, I thought,
a little in her mind the consciousness
of my companion's own beautiful li
brary, and richly endowed life. It
was as if she said, 'You see I have not
much to offer, but I give you my best."
The visitors drew on the lovely old
lady to talk of her anti-slavery experi
ences, and among other questions, Mrs.
Nielps-Ward asked her how, in assist
ing fugitive slaves, she was able to
guard against fraud to know just
wh&n she might safely trust and help.
" 'Oh,' she replied, 'there was a pass
word! It carried any escaping slave
through the underground railway to
safety. Sometimes it was written on
a slip o torn, soiled paper. Sometimes
it was only whkspered for dear life's
sake. But any colored person who
came to us witii that password was re
ceived and passed on without a ques
tion. It carried him anywhere, aud
gave him every chance that we could
command.'
"She paused and looken at the rain
bows in tho lodging ho.ise window
dreamily. Her heart had gone far
back.
"'What was the password?' we ven
tured to urge.
" '1 was a stranger and ye took me
in,' softly said the old abolitionist."
So impressed was Mrs. Phelps-Ward
with the bare walls and the beauty-loving
soul of the dedicated woman who
lived there so poorly, yet so richly,
through her own noble choice, that she
has always kept a prism hanging in her
own study windows In memory of that
of Mrs. Child. "It did me good," she
says, "and I do not want to forget It."
It was a beautiful and strange coin
cidence that when Lydia Maria Child
was borne to her rest in the Into after
noon of an October day, just as her
body was lowered into the grave, a
glorious double rainbow appeared in
the heavens, and remained spanning,
the burial ground with its arch of glow-
Ing beauty, as the funeral train turned1
homeward from the place.
Brave Boy.
Sidney Wright, of Sand Lake, is one
of the bravest men in Michigan. At
Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1SC1, although
a mere boy, he pushed forward In the
storm of bullets and won a gold medal
for personal bravery.
July SI, 1S00, thirty-two years after
tlie act was performed, the War De
partment wrote him a letter, forward
ing him a gold Tncdal, suitably en
graved. In a foot note the commandant of the
division at the time says: "This boy not
alone showed great personal bravery
in going in with his comrades, but when
they fell back he still remained, refus
ing for a time to retreat, and only did
so in the face of the enemy and amid
a perfect storm of shell and bullets."
Mr. Wright, who Is a small man, and
does not look his age, attended tlie re
cent brigade reunion in Jackson. He is
very modest. "It will bo worth some
thing to my relations to look at 100
years or so from now," he said. He
was a member of Company E, First
Michigan Sharpshooters.
