Vermont, 4; West Virginia, K; Wisconsin,
12; Wyoming, I. Total, which Insures
McKinley's election by a majority of X5
in the electoral college if every other elec
toral vote goes iiKalnst us.
Another most slgnillcant fact of this vic
tory is that McKlnley and Uoliurt's elec
tion has been secured by u plurality of
over one million of the popular vole the
largest ever Riven.
1 am continent that we shall secure the
other two electors in Wyoming ami the

The Importance to the country of this
result cannot be over-estimated and is a
mnrtcr of congratulation to all loyal and
patriotic citizens of the I'nited States.

LATE BULLETINS.
.Mckinley's Chances in Kentucky nnd
TenncRsrc"Olhcr Stntc Kctiirn.
Canton, Nov. 5. Advices from Ten
nessee received this evening Indicate
that the state may give McKinley a
small plurality. William A. Rule, of
Knoxville, wires that East Tennessee
will give a plurality of 37,000 for Mc
Klnley and Hobart. Thomas Baker, a
member of the Republican state com
mittee, telegraphs that "after all the
stuffing and stealing of ballots on the
part of Democrats In middle nnd west
ern Tennessee, McKlnley still has a
plurality of 28.000.
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. Returns
from all but 67 precincts In Wyoming
give Bryan 2fi plurality. Osborne, Dem
ocrat for congress has 235; Corn, Dem.
for chief Justice 35. The precincts to
hear from poll 2,015 votes, a majority
of them Is claimed by both parties.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 5. It is only a
question of .majorities In this state
now. It being assured for McKlnley.
It is thought his majority will be close
on one thousand. '
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6. McKlnley
has r,7 plurality with eight precincts
missing.
Cheyenne, Wyo.. Nov. 5. Returns re
ceived from all over the state Indicate
Bryan will carry Wyoming by 1,000.
The Democratic chairman claims the
state by 2.000.
Minneapolis, Nov. 5. There Is no
doubt whatever that Clough, Rep., has
been elected governor ot this state by
at least 8,000 majority. McKinley'a
majority In the state Is about 60.000.
Hnlelgh. Nov. 6. Bryan carries
North Carolina by 15,600, Is the official
statement made at Democratic state

sional delegation will be 8 Republicans
and 4 Democrats. One is in doubt.
Portland, Oregon, Nor. 5. Practic
ally complete returns from all counties
of Oregon except five, give McKinley a
plurality of 3.1.16. No returns have been
received from Crook, Curry, Lake,
tirant and Harnet counties. Crook
county will undoubtedly show a ma
jority of 100 for McKinley. while Har
net. Iake, Oram and Curry counties
combined will probably give Bryan a
majority of 300. which will leave Mc

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.

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."

the biggest demonstrations ever wit

Iron foundry, at lrontnn, was formally

The event marks the beginning of an
era of prosperity here, and It was fit
tingly celebrated. At 2.JI0 o'clock a pro
cession wus formed and preceded by a
brass band, marched to the Iron works.
There the furnaces had been prepared
for lighting nnd promptly at 3 o'clock

"FIGHT HAS JUST COMMENCED."
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."

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

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.

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.
