D. A. Dunn, of Nashville, wires that the state will give a plurality of about 15,000. The impression grows here that on anything like a fair count Tennes see Is for McKinley. Cheyenne , Wyo., Nov. B.

The President-Elect and Mrs. McKinley Will Seek Rest and Repose at Cleveland. .-. ' Canton, Nov. 5. Major McKinley. yielding to the pressure of friends and physician, hus at last decided to ab sent himself from Canton for a time and will, with Mrs. McKinley, leave for Cleveland within a few days. Mrs. McKinley has been suffering from a severe cold for more titan a week and Is now convalescent. Her physician thinks a chance of air and scene will benefit her and that is one reason why Major McKinley is going to leave Can ton so soon. Major McKinley has done more work In the last six months than any other public man In the country or in the world. He has not only made 210 speeches since his nomination, hut has greeted more than half a million people and talked with and shaken hands with hall that many. In addi tion to this he has been in touch with political leaders throughout the coun try and hus had to meet, consider and solve many of the difiicull problems of the campaign. He hits been com pelled to live in the public view und for live months has scurcely had un hour between i) In the morning and 10 at night which he could call his own. Major McKinley'a health is excellent, but his friends, heedful of the greut task which confronts him, think he ought to have u season of r"Ht and so he will spend a week or so quietly with Colonel M. T. lierriek, who was on his staff, at the lutter's home in Cleve land. He has made no engagements and experts to control his time abso lutely. He is going uway for rest and his object in going to a friend's house In Cleveland Instead of visiting one of the larger cities, is to lie able to make disposition as he wishes of his time and not to be at all in the public view, and to escape ptitilic functions or elab orate entertain meats. The tclrgruph companies are com pelled to keep hlx or eight operators at work In order to handle the large num ber of telegrams of congratulation which are pouting m upon .Major Mc Klnley. All through the nleht they have been coming nnd every state In the country has sent through Its citizens messages of greeting to the Republi can candidate. Many Americans abroad are cabling their congratulations. washburn'satisfied. Chairman of the People's Party Finds Victory in DefeatRejoices at the Departure of Traitors. Chicago. Nov. 5. Chairman Wash burn closed the Chicago headquarters of the People's party national commit tee tonight and will depart for his home in Boston tomorrow morning. In about ten days he will go to Wash ington to conter with Senators Jones and Butler in regard to the future pol icy of the allied Hilver forces. In this connection Mr. Washburn said to a reporter for the l'nlted 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 are confronted with a united army and an unparalleled campaign fund, while our own forces were divid ed, with secret foes in our midst as well as fusion difficulties and the amalga mation of opposing forces to contend with. Mr. Bryan made the greatest campaign recorded in political history and stands unrivalled as a leader. Rev olutions never go backward and the momentum of this campaign will be continued by the allied silver forces. "I believe this election will result In separating the gold chaff from the sil ver wheat and force the traitors in the silver ranks to unite with the Republi cans where they belong. It Is worth all our effort to shake off these barna cles and start afresh with renewed hope. In order that all the elements constituting the movement the silver Republicans, the silver Democrats and the Populists may be satisfied, it may become necessary to merge all these forces Into one great army under a new name. It Is rarely that a new great Issue succeeds under an old par ty name. "We begin the congressional fight of 1898 and the presidential fight of 1900 tomorrow. We shall have a conference of our national leaders within a short time, when the plans of the contest and the policy of the future may be de termined upon. Let no one believe that silver Is defeated. The movement Is simply purified and regulated. In a new fo:m, with new hope ruid vigor, and with the gold bug tralto-s elimin ated from the movement w emerge from thia contest stronger tnan ever, to march forward to victory which .awaits us."

There the furnaces had been prepared for lighting nnd promptly at 3 o'clock President-elect McKinley touched a button in his house at Canton and the electric wire connecting it with the fur nace emitted a spark which ignited the intlammnhle material and the new blast furnaces were put in operation.

Uryan Thinks That His Defeat Will Not Affect Cause of Bimetallism. Lincoln,, Neb., Nov. 5. The first In formation that Senator Jones had con ceded the election of McKlnley was given to Mr. Bryan at 8 o'clock this evening through the medium of a United Associated Press bulletin. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were out walking when the bulletin was received. They had been In-doors all day and after supper decided to take a little needed exercise. Just as the clock in the library of the Democratic candidates cozy little home was striking the hour, husband and wife returned. Mr. Talbott, Mr. Bryan's law partner, who has Just been elected to the Nebraska legisla ture on the Republican ticket and sev eral newspaper men were In the library at the time. Mr. Bryan read the bulle tin without showing any signs of feel ing and remarked as he finished: "I'll wait to h?ar from Senator Jones before saying anything." Then he put on a velvet house jacket and began chat ting pleasantly with some personal friends who were with him In the par lor. There was nothing ot the pathetic In the scene. Mr. Bryan had not clung to the hopes held out to him by some of his enthusiastic followers and was prepared for the news. His wife, too, knew that nothing encouraging was to be expected. Her good nature came to the fore when she realised 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 for the official message from Senator Jones. Half an hour later, a telegraph messenger handed a dis patch to the defeated candidate. "You may say," said he, turning; to the newspaper men after reading the telegram, that the election of McKlnley Is conceded and I will issue a state ment tonight." Then he sat down at the jMf oak desk at which he works and began writing a message of congratulation to his vic torious opponent, Mrs. Bryan leaning over his shoulder as his pencil went over the paper. Mr. Bryan paused only during the writing to tell a humorous story apro pos of a remark made by one of those about him. When he had finished he handed the dispatch to a messenger boy and then told another story. There ap peared to be nothing forced about the pleasant manner of the young political leader. He seemed actually happy that the strain was over. He told the repre sentative of the I'nited Associated Presses in the conversation that ensued that tonight he would prepare a State ment to be Issued to the bimetallists of the country and would make it public before noon tomorrow and not this evening, as he had previouslysaid. Mr. Bryan said he did not care to say any thing about the result of the election tonight, but in response to a question as to whether he thought McKinley's election was a blow to the cause ot bi metallism, he responded: "The fight has Just commenced." QUAY OFF FOR FLORIDA. Will Probably Remain I ntil the .Heeding of the State Legislature. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 5. Senator Quay passed through Pittsburg tonight en route for Florida. He will remain there MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY. until he Is called back to Pennsylvania on political matters. The state legis lature, which convenes In January, will elect a United States senator to succeed Cameron. Before the legislature assembles there will, no doubt, be several conferences between the Republican leaders, and the senator's presence will be needed. JONES FREES HIS MIND. . Democratic National Chairman Takes Occasion to Score the Republicans In Acknowledging Defeat. Chicago, Nov. 6. Chairman Jones for mally conceded the defeat of William J. Bryan tonight and made his last presidential campaign statement to the public. The free silver standard was really lowered late last night so far as the election ot 1896 Is concerned, when advices were received at headquarters from West Virginia conceding the elec toral vote of that state to McKlnley, but It was decided not to make' a pub lic announcement of the tact until to day. In the meantime Governor Stone arrived in Chicago from Missouri In re sponse to Senator Jones' telegram. The national committee chairman, the gov ernor and campaign chairman Campau were In conference this evening in the senator's room and at Its conclusion the following statement was given to the press: The result of the presidential election is apparently no lotiKcr In .Ion hi. It has been one of the closest contests that the people have been called on to determine In ve eent years. We have claimed the election on our advices from states that were ad mittedly in doiibl, in which we knew there had been many frauds and from which there were evidences of tampering with the returns. It seems now to be apparent that while Mr. Bryan, after making the most brilliant campuiKn in the history of our country, has carried most of thi states clidmed to lie doubtful, but has not carried enough to assure him success in the electoral college. Bryan electors have been chosen In all the states south of the Potomac and Ohio, except West Virginia, and all those west of the Mis souri, except California und Oregon, lie has lot) electoral votes and this number may be Increased by final returns from states yet in question. This remarkable campaign closes with the election of William McKinley. The result wns broiisht about by every kind of coercion and intimidation on the part of the money power. Including threats of lockouts and dismissals and impending starvation; by the employment of by far the largest campaign fund ever used In this country and by the subordination of a large portion of the Amertcsn press. The president-elect ami his party are under pledge to the American people to continue the gold standard, and by its operations to restore prosperity to this country. As chief executive Mr. McKlnley will have the cordial support of the millions of pa triotic Americans who have east their voles for William Jennings Bryan. They bow to the majesty of the office and abiio by the result with none of the muttering that would have come from the money power had it been unsuccessful. They are conllilent the gold standard cannot give the promised prosperity, but will gladly welcome it if it comes. They will continue the great struggle for the up lifting of Immunity and to. the mainten ance of the dignity of our country in the establishment of an American monetary svstem. And the Democratic parlaided by its present allies will still uplift the bi metallic standard and bear it on to vic tory. James K. Jones, Chairman Democratic National Commit tee. Senator Jones and his family except ing his son Kimbrough, will leave for their Arkansas home tomorrow morn ing, his son remaining to wind up the affairs of headquarters. National Com mitteemen Johnson, Walsh and Cam pau will depart for their homes by the end of the week, when there will be nothing left but a memory of both Re publican and Democratic headquarters.

Mark Hanna ar rived In this city at 11 o'clock this morning, having come from Cleveland to wind up the affairs at the Republi can national committee's headquart ers. He lirst went to the Waldorf, where he greeted his family, and then hurried down to the headquarters. When seen he was In a rather talka tive mood, and of course expressed his profound pleasure over the outcome of the election. "From the very start," he satil, "1 was confident of the out come of the election. I never for a mo ment doubted the result. The mini mum vote McKinley can have In the electoral college is Til, and I think 286 is a conservative estimate. Senator Jones claims that he has carried In diana and other of our states, and that Bryan is elected are absurd, I was much pleased with the result In New York city." "How do you account for the heavy vote for McKlnley in the western farming districts?" "Many western farmers were misled about our attitude. They confused gold monometallism and the gold standard, and were In many cases led to believe that the gold standard for which we have fought meant that we would use gold money only, and that silver money would go out of use. When they learned that under the" gold standard we would continue using sil ver as we do today, their Ideas changed and they deserted the free silver cause." "Do you think that the boom In business will continue?" "I do. I see that the market la up from 6 to 12 points. I think it will stay there. Of course, there will be tlucta tions in speculative stocks, but the general tendency Is for a general bet terment of conditions." "Do you regard the silver Issue as dead?" BEGINNING OF THE END. "We are seeing the beginning of tho end. We have a good sound money majority In congress, and sliver men will not be able to obstruct legislation." "What do you think Mr. McKinley's present Idea Is of the tariff?" "Mujor McKinley's Ideas on tariff, which may give a clue to what he will endeavor In the future to accomplish were best expressed by him In his speech of February 12. He illustrated his views by an anecdote of Lincoln. It seems that Mr. Lincoln was asked how long a man's legs ought to be. He replied that he had long pondered over that question, and Anally concluded that a man's leg's ought to be long enough to reach from his body to the ground. Major McKinley's idea of what a tariff ought to be is on a par with this. According to his own speech, he believes thut we should have sufficient for revenue and to protect American labor against pauper labor of Europe, and to allow capital a fair remunera tion." Chairman Hanna was asked upon what grounds he based his claim to one electoral vote in Wyoming for Mc Klnley. Mr. Hanna replied: Our claim is based un a telegram we received this afternoon from l'nlted Stutes Senator Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming, stating that we were abso lutely sure of one electoral vote and that In all probability we will also get the other two." Vice Presidential candidate Garret A. Hobart dropped into Republican head quarters at 4 o'clock. He and Mr. Hanna had a very (Warm handshake and they exchanged mutual congratulations over the result of the election. All the exec utive committeemen present also con gratulated Mr. Hobart and hailed him as vice-president-elect. Mr. Hobart was closeted with Mr. Hanna for a long time discussing the result of the election. He had nothing to say for publication. Mr. Manley said later that Hanna's statement was absolutely correct and that 2B5 was the minimum number of electoral votes McKinley would have. Mr. Manley leaves for home tomorrow.
