NEW YORK, Nov. 7. —Throughout all
the States of the Union the citizens
If the United States have reaffirmed at
the polls their choice of four years ago
and re-elected William McKinley of
Canton, Ohio, to a second term as Pres
ident of the T'nited States, the highest
office in the power of the people to give.
It was an endorsmont of the adminis
tration's policy and affirmed intention
of hoiiing' the Philippines, which came
into the possession of this country, first
as spoils of war, and second by pur
civs.BC- from Spain. It was also an evi
d«uc>< of approval of the military policy
of the administration and rejectment of
the principle enunciated in the Kansas
City piatform of the Democrats.
McKinley repeated his triumphs in
the larger States, notably New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and the
New England States, though by slight
ly decreased majorities. His electoral
vote v. ill be even greater than it was in
ISt'G.
The silent vote was in particular ev
idence everywhere. Even the most
Ughly colcvsd claims and predictions
of campaign managers and candidates
were exceeded in some sections and an
etutmo'js vote was polled. It may
s*?e>» be sai.i that tha silent vote de
cided the election.
Violence v/as, happily, almost a miss
lug feature >f th« day. In Denver two
men were killed in a clash between
deputy ■■heri: r 3 and police and four men
injur . In Wilmington, Del., too.
there .v 3 ? r me small idsturbance but
no cr.i seriously Injured. These
Wire pr:;ct' !ly the only cases of vio
lence reported. In Now York city,
where the verbal clash had occurred be-
Bopyright. 1900, by Charles A. Gray.
PRESIDENT ii'Ki.XLEY.
tween Inspector of Elections McCullagh
and Chief of Police Devery, it was ex
pected that violence would occur at the
polls. But the day passed off quietly.
No altercations to amount to anything
occurred and it was a very quiet day
for New York.
A notable feature of the election was
Bryan's failure to carry his own pre
cinct, losing it to McKinley by over 100
votes, while McKinley carried his own
county by an increased majority over
four years ago.
Republican congressmen, too, have
been returned or elected for full terms
and it is safe to say that the Fifty-
seventn congress will De even more Kt.
publican than the Fifty-sixth.
Illinois went for McKinley by a big
ma j irlty, but the Democrats elected
their State ticket by a majority almost
as large as the Republicans had for the
national ticket. It was one of the queer
happenings of election.
In the New England States Bryan
made a good run, cutting down McKin
ley's majority in many Instances. But
on the whole, the strength of the dls
trlcta was not Impaired to any extent
and the increase in the vote polled for
Bryan may be attributed to his per
sonality rather than to the principles
which he advocated.
In Canton, McKinley received the re
turns confident of the outcome. Bryan
when he received bulletins from Now
York State was somewhat disappoint
ed, but on the whole, seemed less per
turbed than did those about him.
Mr. Bryan refused to make auy state
ment on the result, but promised to
make one later.
BRYAN AT HOME.
Democratic Candidate Received Returns
Willi Ifm Apparent Concern Thand
Those About Htm.
LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 7.—Mr. Bryan
received the election returns at his res
idence ir. this city. His house was
fairly overrun \vith newspaper men and
telegraph operators. Not only was the
first floor of the house largely given up
to thani, but two of the rooms in the
6econci story also. Pour telegraph
w'.res were run into the houso. Mr.
Bryan had with him his brother,
Charles Bryan, his former law part
ner, ex-State Senator Talbot, Commit
teeman Dahlman and Attorney Schmidt
Mrs. Bryan had as companions a cous
in, Mrs. Rogers, and Mrs. Dahlman.
After receiving the earlier returns in
his library, in the midst of his friends,
Mr. Bryan retired to his private ap
artments which were connected with
the outside by a special wire. Both he
and Mrs. Bryan were In oheerful spir
its anl a person unacquainted with the
circumstances would never have
dreamed from their demeanor that they
were at this time the center of nation
al interest.
Mr. Bryan remained In bis private
apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part of the time.
He did not make his appearance in the
parlor of his house where the newspa
per correspondents had congregated
until 11 o'clock, and his coming at that
time was for the purpose of notifying
the press that he would have nothing
to sny nt present but that ho
might possibly give out a statement
later. After this assurance, the visit
ors withdrew and soon afterwards the
lights were extinguished and the house
presented no signs of animation. Mrs.
Bryan spent the evening entertnining
her company and gave no signs either
of fatigue or disappointment. The
feeling is quite general that Mr. Bryan
will say that he does not doubt the elec
tion for the second time of his rival, for
while he has given no direct utterance
to such concession, he indirectly admits
to friends that he does not hope for
more than to reduce the Republican
majority In some of theßastern States.
PENNSYLVANIA IN LINE.
McKinley'* Plurality 200,000 —Oimy May
(So to Senate.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 7.
Pennsylvania's plurality for McKinley
is over 200,000. In Montgomery and
Chester counties, where the fuslonista
made a strong fight to elect nine anti-
Quay members of the legislature, they
suffered a severe setback, the regular
Republicans winning by a large major
ities.
Pennsylvania's delegation in the next
congress will not be less than 24 Repub
licans to 6 Democrats, as against 20 Re
publicans and 10 Democrats in the
present congress.
M. S. Quay's friends are claiming they
will have a majority on joint ballot fa
vorable to his re-election to the United
States senate and the returns would ap
pear to bear out this claim.
The control of the State senate as be
tween Quay and anti-Quay is in doubt
with chances favoring the Quayites,
though the complete returns may give
the organization of that body to the op
ponents of Mr. Quay.
RESULT IN OHIO.
Majority of 75,000 Hulled Up For Mo-
Kluley and Kooiterelt.
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 7.-In this
state, the home of President McKinley,
voters flocked to the standard of its fa
vored and prominent son and rolled up
a majority of 75,000 for him and his
running mate, Theodore Roosevelt
In every section of the state the vote
was cast early, and while some districts
lagged somewhat in sending returns, it
was evident at an early hoar that Mc-
Kinley would receive a handsome ma
jority.
In Cleveland and Cincinnati McKin
ley's majorities were a trifle in excess of
what they were four years ago, and in
other cities, also including this city,
gains were noted.
Of the 21 congressmen voted for it
may be said that 17 and possibly 18 are
Republicans and are successful. This is
a gain of three members, which shows
how strougly Republican the state has
gone. Party leaders in this state, in
telegrams sent to Republican leaders
here, express themselves as w<;ll satisfied
with the result. Telegrams of congrat
ulation were sent to the president at his
homo at Canton.
Maryland For McKinley.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.—McKinley has
carried Maryland beyond the shadow of
a doubt. Complete returns from the
cities he has a majority there of about
t>,500, while from the state scattering re
turns indicate an additional surplus of
3,500, making his total majority ID the
state about 10,Q00.
The Republicans hnve elected four out
of the six congressmen, while tnfe remain
iug two will probably be Democratic, al
though later returns may change this
outlook.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The jubila
tion here over President McKlnley's re
election broke all bounds. Never, ex
cept at Inauguration times, did such
crowds surge up and down Pennsyl
vania avenue singing and blowing
horns as last night.
In the absence of the President there
was no gathering ut the White House
and such advices as were received there
were conveyed by telephone to the
members of the cabinet who are now In
Washington. Only three are here. Sec
retaries Hay, Gage and Root, the latter
reaching the city In the evening afte:
casting his ballot In New York. Secre
tary Hay was feeling Indisposed and
remained at his home during the even

treasury department and with a num
ber of friends heard the result there.

McKinley Speaks to Crowd.
CANTON, Nov. 7. — Canton was in a
frenzy of enthusiasm last night which
knew no bounds. The crowds which
had been burning red fire down town
marched en masse to the McKinley
residence with bands playing, rockets
sending lurid streaks across the mid
night sky and the tumultous cheers
mingled wlfh the den of horns and
steam -whistles. The crowd was stilled
for a time with some of the cheering
news arrived, but the crowd clamored
for the president and he kindly appeared,
waving his acknowledgement of th«
deafening cheers. The president said:
"Fellow Citizens —1 thank you for the
very great compliment of this call on this
inclement night and at this late hour.
Of the many gratifying reports from
every part of the country, none have
given mo more genuine and sincere grat
itude than those from my own city and
my own county of Stark. And I appeal
now, as I have done on so many formci
occasion to thank you once more for the
warm and hearty endorsement which
you have today given my public acts."
