Thing: That Offsets His Nu
tional Defeat.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4.— Mr. Bryan
tonight grave out the following in reply
to numerous telegrams from all parts
of the country:
"The Democratic national committee
claims enough states to give a ma
jority in the electoral college, but the
vote is very close in several of the
states and the result cannot be known
positively until the entire vote is
counted. In all close contests It is wise
for both sides to watch the returns
to guard against the possibility of mis
take, intentional or unintentional."
Mr. Bryan dictated this statement
to a typewriter but when pressed for
something more for the press declined
to yield, saying that he could give no
utterance to his opinion as to the re
fcult, or outline his intentions until
the outcome should be definitely
known. In conversation with friends
he freely discussed the probablities, re
ferring to the closeness of the vote in
several of the states, and comparing
noves Witih them on the chances in
Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and
ether states of apparently narrow
rffrgin. He read all bulletins with
interest but in reply to questions said
that he was not allowing the uncer
tainty to cause the least degree of
worry. "He spoke cheerfully to all but
It became evident towards the latter
part of the day that he was growing
less and less hopeful. He was es
pecially gratified at the result in Ne
braska and took occasion to earnestly
congratulate the chairmen of the
various county and state committees
located in Lincoln on their work in
this city and throughout the state.
During the afternoon Mr. Bryan at
tended the funeral of an old friend
and spent the evening with his callers.
During the afternoon what purported
to be telegrams received by Mr. Bryan
•were read in the hotel lobbies claiming
the entire south, the states west of
the Missouri and also Indiana and
Minnesota. The announcement of these
claims, which Mr. Bryan afterwards
said he had not authorized, created a
wild burst of applause, caused several
bets to be offered and ultimately re
sulted in the origin of an informal
procession numbering several hundred
which headed for Mr. Bryan's house.
"When informed of this demonstration
Mr. Bryan quietly advised that it be
suspended until the result should be
more definite.
The Republican state committee had
tonight at 10 o'clock abandoned all
claims to the state except on auditor
and treasurer, which Judge Post the
Republicans have elected. He concedes
the election of HcTcomb, fusion, for
governor, by 8,000, but says that Hol
comb's vote in the state will exceed
Bryan's by 3,000 tc 4,000. He claims only
Men and women tremble at the mere
thought of the thief and assassin who steals ;
in at midnight to rob and slay. Without a j
qualm these same people face the deadly j
advances of a foe infinitely more dangerous. i
All the robbers and assassins in the history j
of crime did not slay as many human beings, I
as consumption kills in a single year. One- j
6ixth of the population of the world dies of i
this deadly pestilence. It lurks in every
home and in every public place, waiting for
its victims. There is but one protection
against it. The microbes of consumption I
may be safely defied by those who keep j
their blood rich in tissue building elements j
and free from impurities. The lungs, if i
supplied with pure blood, furnish no foot- |
bold for the germs of consumption.
Dr. Pierce"s Golden Medical Discovery is !
the greatest of all known blood-purifiers. It {
is the best tonic and invigorator. As a flesh
builder it has no equal. It has cured thou
sands of consumptives who have been pro
nounced incurable by physicians. It fills
the arteries with rich, red, tissue -building
blood, and drives from the system all dis
ease germs. Thousands have testified to
its merits.
Mrs. Ursula Dunham, of Sistersville, Tyler Co., j
W. Va., writes : " I should have been dead had it i
not been for your medicine. I was nearly dead !
when I began taking Dr. Herce's Golden Medical j
Discovery. I had a pain iv my side all the time,
had but little appetite, and grew very thin. This
was before I was married — five vea"rs ago. My

Republicans Put the State in the
Bryan List.
ST. LOTUS, Mo., Nov. 4.— According
to latest returns there will be in ths
lower house 81 Democrats, 26 Republi
.cans, 12 Populists, 10 doubtful, 11 not
heard from. There were 17 of the 34
members voted for. Of these, the
Democrats captured 11, which, added
to the six holdover Democrats, will
give them 17 semators as against 16
Republicans and one Populist.
The Globe-Democrat (Rep) concedes
that the Democrats have elected 12 of
the 15 congressmen in Missouri, The
three congressmen elected by the Re
publicans are from St. Louis.
The complete presidential vote in St.

concede the state to Bryan.
SHOUTED FOR BRYAN.
Partisans at Baltimore Caught by
a Fake Telegram.
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 4.— A local
Bryan organisation tonight posted a
telegram purporting to come from
T/nited States Senator Gorman in
Washington stating that Bryan had
229 electoral votes and that he wa-'
elected beyond a doubt. In less than
half an hour Baltimore street, the
principal avenue in the city, was
crowded with a mob of howling,
drunken men shouting for Bryan and
impeding the progress of peaceable
citizens, apparently defiant of the
police. They insisted that this election
was a repetition of that of 1876 and
charged that it was intended that
Bryan should be cheated out of hk<
rights. Parades were formed and it
was not until long after midnigiht that
the excitement was allayed and tin
paraders were induced to disperse.

"Bryan has carried this state by 20,

the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth districts. The
Second and Ninth are in doubt. The

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 4.— lt is im

Maj. McKinley has spent a day of
comparative quiet at his house, seeking
to recuperate from the strain of the last
few days. From the porch he reviewed
several uniformed clubs and delega
tions from neighboring towns, but made
no speeches. He has net said a word
or. the election, by speech, telephone or
otherwise, and appears determined to
reserve his judgment and his views un
til every vestige of doubt on the result
is removed. He sat in the library to
night until 10 o'clock smoking, looking
over late dispatches from wavering sec
tions and chatting with callers. Here
tired at 10:15, and the McKinley cottage
was dark earlier tonight than it had
been in weeks.
It is felt by those about Maj. McKin
ley that he ought in justice to himself
and Mrs. McKinley to get away from
Canton for a few days. After the tre
mendous strain of recent days his
friends want him to take a few days
respite, so that normal conditions may
in part be restored.
FRENCH COMMENT.
View of the. Election Taken by the
Press of Paris.
PARIS, Nov. 4.— The election in the
United States was watched with great
interest in France and is commented
upon at length. Le Paris says: "Europe
has little reason to rejoice. McKinlsy
means a reign of acute protectionism.
While the defeat of bimetallism is de
cisive, it is a blow to bimetallism in
Europe."
Le Temps remarks: "The Republi
cans must not thank themselves en
tirely. Not they, but the splitting up
of the parties, the coalition of various
interests and the uprising of con
sciences gave the victory to McKinley
who only won a usufructary victory
and he will be exposed to a cruel
awakening if he tries to exploit it be
yond measure for the profit of the
protectionists or his own fads. It is
an advantage that he will have time
to digest his success, draw up a pro
gramme and form a cabinet. We shall
see if he understands sufficiently the
significance of what has occurred and
if he is able to rise above paltry con
sideration of party spirit In order
worthily to represent the great na
tional movement which ushered him
into power."
Le Jour anticipates that the first re
sult will be "a cessation of the crisis
which has been let loose upon the busi
ness world since Bryan was nomin
ated," adding: "America has escaped
a great peril, thanks to the wisdom of
the electors."
La. Libejrte believes that the McKin
ley tariff w4U not be re-established and
that o-njy junimportant changes may be
made, j
La-, Reprublioique Francois says:
"The jiraetical result will be a return
to a prohibition customs regime, from
which England and Germany will be
the chief sufferers." It odds: "In re
gard to the currency policy, it is be
lieved that the re-establishment of the
double standard can only result from
an international agreement which Eng
land cannot any longer refuse to take
part in."
Le Journal dcs i Debats remarks:
"The result has delivered America
from great peril. It could not be a
matter of indifference to the general
welfare of humapity that one of the
richest and most active nations was
to be plunged in ruin and probably
menaced by violent disorders and
misery arising Crorn the stoppage of
work. It is true that McKinley's suc
cess may lead to economic rest! veness,
for his name is synonymous with the
uncompromising protection which,
with the monetary' uncertainty con
tributed to create the crisis in Ameri
ca. But one must always choose the
lesser of two evils and we hope that
protection will prove more reparable
now that the greater evil has been
averted."
"Gold has carried the day; but unless
the government seeks to satisfy the
demands of the in-dustrial and farming
population of the far west, the move
ment will end by carrying away all
the dykes erected by the great gold
operators."
OVATION FOR HAIWXA.
Telegrams of Congratulation Poured
in on Him.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, Nov. 4.— Hon.
M. A. Hanna spent all of today at his
office in the Perry Payne building re
ceiving congratulations personally and
by wire. He did no work of any kind,
expressing himself as being too tired
to give any attention to business. In
the afternoon word was passed along
and at 2 o'clock the whistles of all the
steamers and tugs in the river nearby
and of the factories on the lower flats
began to bellow and shriek in unison
A large crowd provided with tin horns
and bells appeared before the Perry
Payne building and added its shouts
and clatter to the din. Mr. Hanna
looked out of his office window to
learn the cause of the demonstration
and soon found that it was in his
honor. He proceeded to a platform
improvised under the arched entrance
of the building, where he spoke a few
words of acknowledgment and felicita
tion. A short speech was made by
his friend, J. H. Hoyt, and after fur
ther jubilation the crowd dispersed.
At 6 o'clock Mr. Hanna started for
New York to join his wife and youngest
daughter, the latter, of whom is under
medical treatment Ihere. He will re
main there about a week.
Mr. Hanna received a large number
of telegrams of congratulation, which,
owing to his absence from the city,
he will not have the opportunity at
present to answer personally. He re
cfived a cable from London as follows:
Truest and heartiest congratulation on the
triumphant success of your labors.
Gen. Alger— Shake.
Senator Thurstcn, of Nebraska— l congrat
ulate you on the triumphant election of Mc-
Kinley and Hobart, toward which your match
less management contributed so much.
J. Sloat Fassett, of New Yor— Heartiest con
gratulations on your magnificent victory.
Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio— Accept my heart
thanks and sincere congratulations.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts — Accept my
heartiest congratulations en the great results
of the best managed campaign we ever had.
R. Powers, of Chicago— Hurrah for McKin
ley, Hanna and the American people. McKin
ley Labor league preparing to paint the town
red. Chicago and Illinois will do their duty.

POPS CAVE IT IP.
Mr. MeKinley't* Election Conceded by
Secretary Edge rt on.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.— Chairman
Butler, of the Populist national com
mittee, is not Teadty to concede the el
ection of McKinley, but says: "Every
report from the back districts is in
our favor. This especially is true in
South Dakota, which we have carried,
and Kentucky which looks more favor
able by later returns. Our best dis
tricts are in the country and we can
not tell how large our vote will be
until it is all In."
Edgerton said: "We have carried
every Southern state with the except
ion of West Virginia and Maryland
and possibly Kentucky, also every
state west of the Missouri river witf,
the exception of California, Oregon
and North Dakota, and returns are
being received which indicate that
they may be placed in the Bryan col
umn. In the central West reports are
being received from Indiana and Min
nesota, which may add them to the
Bryan vote and give him a majority.
We are making great, gains in con
gressmen and will have 150 silver mer
and 20 Populists in. the house. The
Populists have elected state tickets ii
several states or the West and a por
tion in one Southern state. We con
cede the president, 'but wait reliable
information from th« districts not yel
reported." ..<-•■
TO DEPKW'S MIND.
The Silver Cra«e Is Certainly on the
Wane.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 4.— Chauncey
M. Depew, who arrived In this city
this mo-ming, commented upon the Re
publican victory as follows: "The coun
try has gone overwhelming Republican
and talk of free silver will soon disap
pear. The result of the election has
disproved the emphatic statement so
often made by the European public that
it is impossible to submit a complicated
financial question to the popular vote
and secure a verdict in favor of sound
economic reasoning.
"The result of the election proves
moreover, and to me this is the most
important feature in our victory, that
the American people are honest. It
is a great thing for a people so diverse
and so numerous as ours to be univer
sally honest and the election of yester
day has fully demonstrated that the
people of this country held the national
honor as dear as their individual re
pute. I foresee in the immediate future
the disappearance of the silver question
from our politics."
ST. JOHN YIELDS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.— W. P. St.
John, chairman of the state commit
tee, in discussing the results of yes
terday's election said: "The people
have declared themselves unmistak
ably. I therefore cordially acquiesce.
The next four years should amply test
the single gold standard in the United
States. I am confident that the party
in power will be quick to abandon it,
sufficient proof i that it is a failure
The agitation must have been suf
ficient to promise thfs. I Bhall try to
expect and certainly . will welcome the
restoration of pr/psperity which our
late opponents premised us with their
victory. In my, opinion, the silverites

in the way of legislation by the ma
jority."

more decided for gold monometallism
as a permanent money system than for

lism as soon as they can do so, while
preserving national honor."
DEMOCBACIf STHX, LIVES.
The Defeat of Bryan Saves It, Say*
Hopkins.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.— We know now
that McKinley has received an over
whelming majority in Illinois. This
is no surprise to those who have had
an opportunity to observe the trend of
public opinion in this state. The Pal
mer and Buckner vote will be insigni
ficant, which is a matter of no surprise
to the managers of the sound money
campaign in this state.
Democracy and the Democratic party
still live. Its principles are eternal.
I do not rejoice at McKinley's victory,
but I do rejoice in Bryan's defeat. Our
committee will meet this week and pro
claim to the people of this state and
the United States that we are Demo
crats and claim to represent the Demo
j cratlc faith. We have no doubt but
that the conservative element of the
party will assert itself, and now that
Altgeldlsm and all that it represents
lias been utterly repudiated by our
state, the sober class of the people will
assert itself and Democracy will be
re-established on its ancient lines.
I rejoice as an American citizen that
the capacity of the American people
to govern themselves in peace as In war
has been demonstrated, what has been
the most crucial test to which the re
public has ever been subjected.
— "John P. Hopkins,
"Chairman Gold Standard Democracy."
AKARCHY DID IT.
Says tlte Vice Chairman of the Na
tiunul Silver Party.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.— Vice Chairman I.
N. Stevens, of the National Silver par
ty, today issued the following state
ment:
If final results show that Mr. Bryan is de
feated, it does not demonstrate that free sil
ver is beaten by any means. The extreme
and impolitic planka of the Chicago platform
lost us hundreds of thousands of votes
amongst conservative business men, who were
really in favor of free coinage.
Another factor in this contest which has
greatly injured us, has been the
fact that four years ago the Demo
cratic party went into power with a
president and both houses cf congress,
and the policy of that president, and the
legislative acts of a majority of that party
in congress have been too often against the
interests of the people. The American peo
ple wanted a change, and if Mr. Bryan is de
feated it is largely due to the fact that they
at this time were net willing to trust another
Democratic administration, however strong
its professions in the interests of the people.
The silver question will not down until
justly settled by the restoration of free coin
age at the ratio of 16 to 1. It Is to be hoped
that the next time it is submitted to the peo
ple, it will not be handicapped by the injec
tion of other questions, about which the
friends of free coinage radically differ in
opinion. Mr. Bryan has made the most mar
velous canvass ever made on the American
continent, and throughout has shewn him
self to be one of the greatest men our coun
try has ever produced.
ALTGELD ADMITS DEFEAT.
A Few Final Words Regarding the
Illinois Result.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.— Gov. Altgeld gave
out today a statement addressed to the
Democrats of Illinois, in which he says:
Although defeated, I desire to thank you
for the loyal support you have given me
and I congratulate you on the heroic fight
you have just made. Consider that only aix
months ago our great party lay prostrate;
it had be*n betrayed into the hands of stock
jobbers and monopolists by President Cleve
land, it had been robbed of everything Demo
cratic except the name, it stood for no great
principle, it was loaded -with political dead
heads, yet it out lcoee of the trusts and
syndicates, it repudiated the men who be
trayed it and again proclaimed Democratic
principles and espoused the cause of human
ity. It was confronted by everything that
money could buy — that boodle could debauch
or that fear of starvation cculd coerce. It
was confronted by a combination of forces
such as had never been united before and
could probably never be united again, and
worse still, the time was too short to edu
cate the public. Willie we are defeated, our
party is more vigorous and in better condition
generally than it has b6«n for a quarter of
a century. We have dug the grave of the
British gold standard. One more campaign
of education will forever bury the palsied
form of that curse which has blighted pros
perity and the happiness of mankind. V»>
may assume that the coming administration
will be controlled by the men who have been
so prominent in securing thia election. I
believe that at the next general election the
people will reverse the verdict of yesterday,
the return of prosperity will not come as
promised. It was the great common people
of America and not the rich, who saved our
institutions in 1861, and It will devolve on th«
great, common people of this country to save
free government in 1900.
GOV STONE EXPLAINS
How and Why Mr. Bryan Was De
feated.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.— Gov. W. J. Stone
was asked today what, in his opinion,
were the causes of Bryan's defeat.
"First and chiefly money," was the re
ply. "Second the betrayal cf the Dem
ocratic party by men who owe it every
thing. Third, the influence of the sub
sidized press." Continuing, the gover
nor said. "I shall begin from this hour
the work of organizing the people of
the state for the campaign cf 1900. The
cause we have fought far is right. It
involves a question affecting the pros
perity of our country and the happi
ness of mankind. It will not be settled
until it is settled right. The battle we
have fought has net been in vain since
it has resulted in separating the Demo
cratic wheat from the chaff. The party
will gre-w stronger in future when every
man in it is ready to fight and to die
for its principles. The cause of free
silver is not lost by this defeat. The
blessings that would flow from bimet- ,
allism will be delayed, but they will
come at last in response to the resolute
and unyielding demands of the people."
MR. ECKLES' IDEA.
What the Election Outcome Means
to Him.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. — Comptroller
Eckles, who was at the National
Democratic headqaurters, said:
I think the result is just what might have
been expected. Whenever the question has
been put to the voters, "Will the American
people pay their debts?" it has always been
decided that they would. We pay our debts.
The nation pays its debts. The importance
of the result in the business world is that it
means the rehabilament of American credit
abroad. That means that investors are will
ing to put their idle capital in cur enter
prises. This election means the complete
reorganization of the Democratic party. For
a long period of time the Democracy has
been the haven refuge for every element of
discontent in the country. It is to be reor
ganized and now it is as good as any other
time. The Democratic politicians will learn
from this election that it is better to have
the business interests with them than to have
the disturbing elements.
HILL SPEAKS AT LAST.
Says the Sentiment Is Certainly
Against Bryan.
ALBANY, N. V., Nov. 4.— Senator
David B. Hill today said: "The senti
ment of the country was certainly
again-st Mr. Bryan." He declined posi
tively to give his views upon the elec
tion either as affecting national or
state affairs.

BRAGG BROUGHT OUT.
Suggested for a Place In the Mc-
Kinley Cabinet.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 4.— The
Journal today brings out the name of
Gen. Edward S. Bragg, of Wisconsin,
for secretary of war in McKinley's
cabinet, and the proposition is indorsed
by the prominent Republicans of this
state. The Journal claims that such
an appointment would stamp the vic
tory yesterday with the non-partisan
character which really belongs to it.
The Journal shows that the sound
money Democrats of Wisconsin large
ly deserve the credit of the victory
for McKinley in this state. It proves
not only that the defection of silver
Republicans was much larger than had
been anticipated, but that the gold
Democrats with upwards of 60,000 went
so out of all proportion that it not only
completely overwhelmed any Republi
can defection and the Populist vote,
but saved the state for sound money.
Twenty thousand Democrats voted for
McKinley, while refusing to vote for
any other Republican candidate.
LEVERING IS SATISFIED
Believes the Silver Question is Fin
ally Settled.
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 4.— Mr.
Johua Levering, the Prohibition can
didate for president of the United
States, this morning when asked his
views as to the result of yesterday's
election, said:
'•I think it settles for good the ques
ton of wihloh money standard which
shall be used in this country. It
seems to me that the verdict is so
emphatic that the question cannot
longer be considered open. There will
be a return of business confidence but
whether there will be an immediate
improvement in business I cannot say
There are factors other than that of
money standard which enter into the
problem."
WEST VIRGIXIA CONCEDED.
Democrats Put the McKinley Ma
jority at 10,000.
WHEELING, Va., Nov. 4.— Andrew
Edminston, chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee, West
Virginia, says: "West Virginia is con
ceded to McKinley by from 5,000 to
10,000."
M. O. Dawson, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, wires to the
Associated Press as follows: "Mc-
Kinley's plurality in West Virginia
about 15,000."
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 4.—lncom
plete returns received during the day
continue to show Republican gains and
there is no reason to change last
night's figures of 15,000 plurality. All
four Republican candidates for con
gress are undoubtedly elected by in
creased majorities. Atkinson, (Rep)
for governor, and the Republican
state ticket, is elected and both bran
ches of the legislature are Republi
can. The gold Democrats generally
voted the Republican ticket.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.— The presi
dent today issued the following Thanks
giving- proclamation:
The people of the United State* should*
never be unmindful of the gratitude"
they owe the God of Nations, for hi*
watchful care which has shielded them
from disaster and pointed out to them
the way of peace and happiness. Nor
should they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness to
turn away from God's teachings and to
follow with sinful pride after their own
devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it Is fitting that on a day
especially appointed, we should join to-^
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, presi
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day of the present month
of November, to be kept and observed as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer
through-out our land.
On that day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation, and,
assemble in their accustomed places
of worship, let them with one accord
render thanks to the Ruler of the uni
verse for our preservation as a nation,
and our deliverance from every threat
ened danger; for the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries; for our
defense against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed; for
the plenteous rewards that have fol
lowed the labors of our husbandmen;
and for all the other blessings that have
been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through the mediation, of
Him who has taught us how to pray,
implore, the forgiveness of our slna and
a continuation of heavenly favor.
Let : "US not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy, and
by deeds of charity let our offerings
of praise be made more acceptable In
the sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States, which I have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
fourth day of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand, eight hundred;
ami ninety-six, and of the indepen
dence of the United States of Ameri
ca, the one hundred and twenty-first.

"President."

Cool Your 'Wrists.
Very few people know the importance of
keeping the wrists cool in ■warm weather.
Actors and actresses say that if one of their
number faints cpid water is poured on their
wrists, and the result is always an Immediate

ance of feats of endurance know that in win
