VOL. XXIII.-NO. 313. ■ 011 nmie hit Get Back to the Basic Principles of the Organi zation and It Will Win Out in 1904 What Old-Line Leaders Say of Issues That Are Dead and of Those That Are Vital. NEW ORLEANS. Nov. S.—The New Orleans Picayune sent telegraphic re- Quests to many leading Democrats in various sections of the country asking expressions with reference to the future of the Democratic party. The following ; are extracts from some of the replies: T. C. Catchings, Mississippi—Drop free Bilver; drop fusionism; drop the cry of government by Injunction; drop the cry of imperialism and militarism^ drop all discussion about the Philippines until peace has been restored; drop appeals *" to the passions and prejudices of the idle and discontented; revive the funda mental question of taxation; teach the Democratic doctrine that people cannot be made rich by taxing them; assail the favoritism and wrongs of a high pro tective tariff; stand for the control of trusts and combines by methods not op pressive; demand enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce com mission and the liberal improvement of harbors, and insist on local self-govern ment, and let the next presidential can didate remain at home during the cam paign. I Joke Smith, Atlanta. Ga.—l doubt the advisability of reorganization. A party •which can poll the enormous vote that the Democratic party has recently polled is far from being a dead party. More conservative councils will pievail in fu ture conventions, jincl with a pronounced sound money platform in 1901, with a man against whom no factional fight can be made, there Is every reason to be lieve the party will triumph. Horace Boles. lowa—My belief is we should drop 16 to 1; let the money ques tion rest while conditions remain as at present; organize Democratic clubs in every voting precinct to send delegates to county, from county to state and from etate to national convention of delegates to meet periodically and formulate a plat form for the party. This should be based Dn principles enunciated in our declaration of independence. Insist on a strict con struction of the sole source of legislative power in congress. No subjugation of un villingr principles by force. Expansion in everything that pertains to peace, con traction in everything that pertains to tin necessary war. One form of govern ment for all. one flog, one people, with equal rights to all and special privileges to none. William Vilas, Wisconsin—You can not Wisely opera.te on a patient in utter col lapse. When natural revival ensue?, if party consciousness comes back with re turning vitality, the way of Democracy Is as clear as the path of honesty and fidelity. Let Democracy turn from Its folly and live. John G. Carlisle— In order to achieve Success or to become beneficial to the country as an opposition party. the : Democracy must abandon all its pres- I ent Issues, free itself from all demoral- ' Jzing alliances and return to the true ; principles of the party. The. new ques tions precipitated upon the country by the conduct of the present administra tion and the declarations of its support- WHAT WILLIAM J. BRYAN HAS TO SAY Defeated Presidential Candidate Is Not Discouraged and o Has Only Words of Commendation for His Associates. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. S.-AV. J. Bryan tonight gave out the following statement ceruing the election: "The result was a surprise to mo, i ahd the magnitude of the Re- ; publican victory was a surprise to cur opponents as well as to those who j VDtfed our ticket It is impossible to analyze the returns until they are more comi'cte, but speaking generally we Beam to have gained in the large cities and t< have lost in the smaller cities tend in the country. *The Republicans were able to secure tickets or passes Tor all their voters Wiio w<to away from home, and this gave them considerable advantage. We have Ho way of knowing at this time bow much money was spent in the purchase »ol rotes and in colonization. But while these would account for some of the Re publican gams, they could not account for the widespread increase in the Re publican vcte. The prosperity argument was probal.iy the most potent one used by the Republicans. They compared present conditions with the panic limes Of 1593 to Ifjfi, and this argument had weight with tho.st who did not slon to <■; nsider Lhe reasons for the change. The appeal 'Siand by the president while the War is on' had a great deal of influence among; tho3e v. ho did not realize that a vrar against a doctrine of self govern ment in the Philippines must roact upon us in this country. We made an honest fght upon an honest platform, and rav- PORTLAND MINE SOLD. English Syndicate Said t,o Have Paid $1.1,000,000 for It. DENVER, Nov. B.—Although the re ported sale of the Portland mine is de nied at the office of the company in Col orado Springs, it is generally believed in mining circles that this great Cripple Creek property will pass into the hands of an English syndicate, and be consol idated with Stratton's independence lim ited. It is said the price to be paid for the Portland Is about (15,000,000. Such a consoladation would create probably the greatest gold mining property in the world. PROBABLE SUICIDE. ,'Young; Womnii Found Dead in the Palmer House, Chieaso. CHICAGO. Nov. The boJy of the young woman who was found dead in the Palmer house last night with a half : emptied bottle of carbolic acid besidt • her, was today identified as that of Miss ; Bernita F. Clark of Rockford. Ills!, •whose father was. formerly a prominent physician there. Miss C^ark served as a nurse during the Spanish-American war. INDIAN TERRITORY FRAUDS. Cherokee Inv estimation Discloses $104,000 in Bosn* Warrants. TAHLEQUAH, Ind. Ten, Nov. S.-A special committee, composed of W. O. s. Burton and Special Agent Zeverly, today filed a report of their investigation of the alleged irregularities of the Cherokee au- ers must be met in a broad spirit of Jus tice and sincere respect for the mandates of the constitution and the liberal prin ciples upon which our Institutions are founded. We have drifted into a situa tion which makes the correct solution of these questions exceedingly difficult, and the party should give them a most care ful consideration in all their aspects be "fore committing itself to any specific plan of adjustment. Upon the general prin ciples involved there will be but little difference of opinion, but the measures to be adopted to extricate the country from its present unfortunate position can not be nastily formulated. What plan shall be proposed for the reorganization of the party in order that its real strength may be effectively exerttd is a question whicn it seems to me ought to be considered and decided by a conference of conservative Democrats representing both elements of the party as it has ex isted during the last four years. All are equally interested in the suc cess of the party on a sound and patri otic platform of principles, and there fore Doth should be consulted on the question of reorganization and principles to be adopted. Henry Watterson, Louisville—As the Democrats are cast down by the result of this election will the Republicans be elated and thrown off their guard. They will fancy that they have the world in a sling. They are certain to proceed to excesses. They cannot restrain either their zealots or their scamps. All the clever rogues of the tim-e, seeing where the pickings and stealing lie, have got into the Republican party. The new ter ritories are veritable gold mines of pil lage. Acts and outrage cannot bo re pressed or escaped. The people at home will stand aghast before the riot of cor ruption and despotism with the disap pearance of the fancied dangers incident to a charge of parties, as it were, in the face of the energy or words to that ef fect, wherewithal the Republicans have deluded the voters, and forgetfulness of the passions aroused by u^> luckless mis adventure attendant upon the revolution ary fusion movement undertaken by the Democratic leaders cf the last half de cade, the opportunity of the chastened, enlightened and reorganized Democratic party will come, and when it comes there must arise a leader of the stature of Jef ferson, of Jackson, and of Tilden, to give it expression and effect. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 8-John G. Car lisle has wired the Atlanta Journal, in response to a request from that paper, his views as follows: In my opinion the Democratic party should reorganize on the Democratic basis. An immediate return to the broad and patriotic position occupied by the party before It was demoralized by Populism and Free Silver Republicans hi 1596 will invite all true Democrats in opposition to the objectionable pol'cies of the adminis tration, insure the success of our north ern friends in state and local contests, and prepare the way for a great national victory in 1904. The Democratic votes cast for Mc- Kinley were not indorsements of his j party or his administration .but protests against what was considered the danger ous purposes and tendencies of the op posing candidate. ing done our duty as we saw It, we have nothing to regret. "We are defeated, but not discouraged. The font mist go on. I am sure trat He rub.icar. policies will be repudiated by the people when the tendency of these policies are fully understood.

Several hundred people had assembled at the Pennsylvania depot to bid the president welcome and a large number of the police were on hand to prevent a crush. Secretary Hitchcock, General Corbin and other olliciais gathered about the platform of the pres ident's car and were the first to wel come and congratulate him. The crowd outside broke into hearty cheers when the president made his appearance with Mrs. McKinley. After hasty greetings, the party was driven to the White house, where the president had breakfast and then re turned to his duties. The trip beyond Pittsburg was at night and uneventful, although knots of people gathered at the stations throughout the night to see the train go by. The president has been busy today re ceiving callers. Secretary Gage, Secre tary Hay, Attorney General Griggs and Secretary Hitchcock called early to offer their congratulations to the president. Senators Platt of Conne ticut and Sewal! of New Jersey and General Ludlow also called. The president greeted ail callers with a hearty handshake. No cabinet meeting will be held before tomorrow, the regular day. RACE CONFLICT AVERTED PEACE AGAIX RBIUXS IN WASH IXGTOX, PA. WASHINGTON, Pa., Nov. B.—After a night of excitement over a threatened conflict between "negroes and whites, quiet prevails this morningl, and through the prompt action of the town authori ties, aided by the members of company H, Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, a race iiot was averted. The trouble started on Tuesday night over the election, and the fighting was kept up for a large part of the night and all of yesterday. There was numerous encounters between the '■ negroes and whites, and several persons I seriously injured. Fearing a serious out j break, a large number of extra policemen were sworn in, and these with squads of the Tenth regiment patrolled the streets until daylight. A dozen arrests were made and warrants are out for many more. This morning the excite ment has died down and unless there are more assaults, no further trouble is ap prehended. The outbreak, it is said, was instigated by negroes recently brought from the South by contracting firms. THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS LIBERAL PLURALITY OVER CON SERVATIVE IS FORTY-FIVE. MONTREAL.Nov.

JOHN'S, N. F., Nov. B.—The polls have closed in all the districts through out the island for the colonial general election today. No disorders have been reported but intense excitement prevails. The older voters say that nothing like the present ferment has been known tines the election of 1869, when the question before the country was confederation with Canada, which was rejected by an immense majority. Both sides claim a victory, but the betting odds are in favor of Bond government. Those who favor confederation with Canada are sorely disappointed at the defeat of Sir Charles Tupper in Cape Breton, which is regarded as a setback for the confederation project.

Liod May Pull Through. The man who has been elected gov ernor of Minnesota will hav.e a narrow margin, whether it be Gov. Lind or Capt. Van Sant. With complete unofficial fig ures from twenty-five counties or so, and partial returns from the balance, the fig ures this morning seem to indicate the election of the Winona man. Chairman Rosing would not at midnight give up hope that the complete returns would wipe out the apparent plurality of Capt. Van Sant. He based his hopes on the fact that encouraging' news had been re ceived from many counties yesterday, and that in every instance the unofficial but complete returns gave Gov. Lind more votes than the Republicans estimat ed he would receive. In some eases the figures were better than those at first re ceived by Mr. Rosing from his own coun ty chairmen. With a majority of the counties yet to be heard from on the total vote it ts possible that the plurality will be for Gov. Lind. The returns began to be received from the county auditors by the secretary of state yesterday. Half of the counties showed gains over the first reports. Chi sago county, which the evening news papers had been claiming for Van Sant, by a large plurality, on the report re ceived by the secretary of state was cut down 700. Two other counties contribut ed 100 in the aggregate to the Lind figures. The Globe's figures as will be seen are estimated In a number of counties from incomplete returns or based on such telegrams as were received at state headquarters and which simply gave the plurality in the several counties so re ported. ■ There is still ample reason to doubt the election of Van Sant, but this doubt ought to be removed today, if the re turns come into the secretary of state's • office as expected. .- • ; . The committee reports show that Gov. Lind suffered a great deal from the fact that there was a "Socialist Democrat" on the ticket. A good many votes .were lost by reason of the voters marking both names. It is also known that a large number of votes were thrown out because, too many electors' were voted for. Instead of its simply invalidating the presidential ticket,' it Is known that the \ state ticket suffered. at the same time, being thrown out with the presi dential ticket. But with all the. handi cap . that the Democrats are known to have had to contend with, and despite the 60,000 or more votes received by McKln ley, it still remains to be seen whether or "not Gov. Lind has been defeated. The Republican state " committee haa been shading'; down its claim for two day«. Yesterday it dropped from 8,000, to less than 6.0C0. It will have to come down 3000 or 4,000 more. Still, it may strike the bottom before Van Sant's entire plu rality has been wiped out.'. Following are the incomplete return?^ all counties mark ed with an asterisk being liab.e to change, some of them only slightly, and others enough to wipe out Van Sant's ap parent majority. V. S.

Leading Democrats favor reorgani zation of the Democratic party with the retirement of William J. Bryan from the leadership and a different management of the party from that of the past few years. Hill, Olney and'Pattison are sug gested as candidates for the presidency four years hence. Chairman Martin of the Democratic state committee was today appointed by Governor Mount to succeed Thomas Bus kirk, (elected judge) on the state tax board. . Samuel E. Morse, proprietor of the Sentinel says he has no doubt that the real Democrats .see the necessity of getting together and making a united struggle to enforce the Jeffersonian principles in the government. Mr. Morse says the ' Democratic party cannot win unless it has a different management from what it has had for several years and that it must nominate some man as patriotic and incorruptible as Mr. Bryan but of a wholly different tempera ment.
