(iovcrncr Bradley's Dispatch.
New York. Nov. 6. The political
campaign is almost at an end and by
tomorrow or at the latest Monday all
the various political headquarters will
be closed. Joseph H. Jlanley, of Maine,
left Republican national headquarters
this forelioon fur his home. National
Committeemen N. K. Scott. General
Powell Clayton and General McKlnley
Osborne are still, however, at head
quarters and will be there until the
linal closing.
Committeeman Scott received the
following telegram this morning from
Governor Bradley, of Kentucky:
Kentucy has certainly Bone for McKln
ley and will Just as certainly be counted.
W. O. Bradley.
This despatch removed all doubt as
to the blue grass state and there was
great rejoicing when It was received.
The Democratic state headquarters
are almost deserted. Chairman Elliot
Danforth and James C. Truman, chair
man of the state executive committee,
have given up their rooms. The only
person at headquarters was W. G. Mc
Laughlin, who is Treasurer William R
St. John's assistant. Air. McLaughlin.
like Mr. St. John, has cheerfully ae- ;
copied the result of the election and !
acquiesces philosophically In McKln- I
ley s election.
HOPE FOR TENNESSEE.

Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 6. Complete

the Democrats claim the slate by S.ouo.
Both sides are playing a waiting game
In sending in returns. Joslah Patter
son, sound money Democrat for con
gress, has mandamused the sheriff of
Fayette county, where wholesale frauds
are reported to such an extent as to
give earmark, free silver Democrat,
for congress, a majority on the face of
the returns in this district.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6. Leslie, the
last of the missing counties, give Mc
Klnley 841 plurality. ,Thls indicates
that the state Is Republican by be
tween 600 and 700.
Yankton. 8. D., Nov. 6. Returns from
the entire stateexeept three counties,
give the state to McKinlcy beyond a
doubt.
Trenton. X. J., Nov. 6. The county
board of canvassers today canvassed
the returns of Mercer county and the
official vote was shown to be: McKln
ley, 13.847: Bryan. 6,971; Palmer. 4!)0;
Leverlmj. 4yi'; Matchett, .71. . McKin
ley's plurality, 7.876.
For congress, Gardner (Hep.). l.l.Rrtrf :j
Conrow (Dem.), 6.994, Gardner's plur
ality, 7.801.
Yankton, S. D., Nov. . At 11 o'clock
tonight South Dakota's vote on presi
dential electors Is tied and an ntTlical
count will be required to determine the
result. Republican congressmen and
governor ran ahead of the electoral
ticket by several hundred votes so far
as heard from and they may have safe
majorities. .
DELAWARE RETURNS.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. C The
counting up of the returns for this
county was finished by the men on the
adding machines at 7.H0 o'clock this
evening. No disorder occurred after 3
o'clock this morning. The sheriff had
a big force of deputies on hand all day
to keep the crowds out of the court
house. The result of the counting
showed that the Flynn people for sher
iff, had his vote much reduced as com
pared with the llgures given out by the
lretlon officers after the polls closed.
The last count showed he had but 1K2
plurality against 1,021 returned by the
election ofllcers. The result in the
state on president now stands: Mc
Klnley MA-.,2; Bryan lfl.fil."; Palrm r IT6;
Levering ti02. McKinley's plurality
3.SP.7.
James C. Shaw, a McKlnley elector,
whose name had "sr." added on one
ticket In New Castle county, was count
ed as two men. but his vote in Kent
and Sussex counties gave him more
than the lowest man on the Democratic
ticket and he is elected.
LATEST FROM KENTUCKY.
Louisville. Ky., Nov. 6. As the offi
cial returns come In tonight the stat"
ment is confirmed that the electoial
vote of the state Is going to stand 12 to
1. It will take the official count to sat
isfy both sides. The last newspaper
figures place McKinley's plurality in
the state at C33. Knsp and Smith, the
first electors on the Republican and
Democratic ticket, respectively, are
running ahead of the other electors on
the official count and no matter which
way the state goes the electoral vote Is
going to be divided; that Is. If the Re
publicans carry tho state ticket they
will get 12 electors and the Democrats
1 and vice-versa If the Democrats win.
This results from the fact that a largo
number of voters placed the cross oppo
site the name of the first elector In
stead of under the party device. The
canvassing board has ruled in these
cases that the vote should count only
for one elector, notwithstanding the evi
dent Intention of the voter.
CONTESTS WILL FOLLOW.

BEN TILLMAN. TALKS.
The South Carolina Senator Declares
That David Hill is a "Dead
Duck" Solid North Broken.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov 6. Senator Ben
Tillman, of South Carolina, who was
here today on his way home from Chi
cago, declared that Bryan would be
the nominee of the Democratic party
in 1900.
"The battle has been the most heated
and hardest fought political contest in
our history and the Democratic party
has never shown to better advantage."
said Senator TUImun "The issues have
been clearly defined and bravely sus
tained while our great leader, Brvan.
has covered himself with glory and Is
the ideal of the Democratic masses.
"The natural alliance of the south and
west, though not complete, has received
un Impetus which cannot be stopped or
prevented The Issue of financial reform
and restoration of the money of the
constitution Is not dead and will not
down. .
"We have broken the solid north,
while the south is practically solid. The
tyranny of the federal judiciary and
the greed of the plutocrats will drive
the masses by the million to our sup
port in the next great struggle. Jeffer
son lost his first battle In 1796, but won
In 1800. The Republican party was
overwhelmingly defeated in 1858 and
Lincoln was defeated for the senate in
1S"!, but he was elected president In
1S60. We will win in 1900. McKlnley
cannot give relief or restore prosper
ity unless the law of supply and de
mand, as It affects money, has been
repulsed." .
"Will the policy of the party leaders
look to conciliating the gold Demo
crats?" "No; they have got In the party to
which they belong and are a good rid
dance. There can be no step back
ward. The southern people and. the
eastern Democrats are separated by an
impassable barrier. They are our task
masters, and we know that we have
turned to the west and must look and
work in that direction. If the Demo
crats had put up a gold platform, we
would not have carried a single state.
The men who suggested the gold stan
dard, voted for McKlnley almost solid
ly. There may be a spasmodic rise in
prices and a resumption of business ac
tivity, but It cannot last."
"What do you think of David B. Hill's
future?"
"Hill's a dead duck and will never
again rise to the surface," was the em
phatic declaration of Senator Tillman.
MAJOR M'MNLEY DECLINES.
Cannot Attend Hie Numerous Dinner
Pnrtirs I ndcr Hay.
Canton, O., Nov. 6. A delegation of
prominent Cincinnati men came to
Canton late this afternoon to invite
Major McKinley to be present at the
annual dinner of tho Commercial club
of Cincinnati, on tho 19th of Novem
ber. Major McKlnley received his Cin
cinnati visitors in the library, and af
ter they were comfortably seated, Mr.
L. Anderson the spokesman, addressed
some very witty remarks to Major Mc
Kinley and urged him strongly to visit
Cincinnati. Major McKlnley thanked
his callers heartilv in compliment of
their visit and for the Invitation they
bore. He assured them It would give
him great pleasure to go to Cincinnati,
but that he had considered the matter
of visiting large cities pretty carefully
and decided that with the exception of
a brief period he is to sjiend in Cleve
land ie will not leave Canton till lie
goes to Washington.
Major .McKinley explained that some
of his Chicago friends had urged him
with' creat vehemence to visit their
city and said C. N. Bliss and others
were coming out to nsk him to visit
New Yolk. He said if he Went to Cin
cinnati he would also have to gu to
the cither places and he would there
fore be compelled to decline the Invita
tion. Major McKlnley feels that he has
a vast amount of labor to perforin be
fore the fourth of March and he does
not at to lose lime or strength In
going about the country Unless the
health of .Mrs. McKinley should demand
a chanse of air he will adhere Jo his
determination to remain in Canton
now as rigidly as he did before the elec
tion. HORRIBLY BURNED.
Terrible Fate of Mt: William Car

New Castles. Pa. Nov. 6. Mrs. Wil

across the hot grate bars, both lips

clung to the Tars w hen she was re
moved, er face and neck were horribly
burned, and her hair was nearly all

BIMETALLISM IS STRENGTHENED

Become Members of the Silver
Party aud That They Will Joiu in

Ratio of IS to 1.
Lincoln. Neb., Nov. .-Vllllam J.
Brvan this afternoon gave out the fol-
i lowing statement to the blmetallists of
j the United Slates:
Conscftms that millions of loyal hearts
I are saddened by temporary defeat I beg
! to offer a word of hope and encouraue-
mem. No ouu.e ever had supporters more
bravo, more earnest and devoted, than
those who espoused the cause of bimetal
lism. Thev foiiKht from conviction and
have foiiKht with all the seal which con
viction Inspires. Kvents will prove wheth
er they are right or wrong. Having done
ihilr duty as they saw It they have noth
ing to rcgrvt. The Republican candidate
has been heralded as the advance agent
of prosperity. If his policies bring real
prosperity to the American people those
who opposed him Will share in that pros
uei'itv. 11'. on i ho other hand, his bolides
prove an Injury to ihe people generally,
ihose of his supporters who do not belong
to tb- oflice hulding class, or the priv
ileged classes, will suffer In common with
these who opposed him. The friends of
! bimetallism have nni been vanquished;
they have simply been overcome. They
I believe that the gold standard is a ron
i spiracy of the money changers against
the welfare of the human rare, and uniil
convinced of their error they will con
; timte the warfare against It. The contest
I has been waged this year under great
i embarrassment and against great odds.
I For Iho first time during this generation
public attention has been centered upon
I the monev ourstion as the paramount Is
sues, and this has been done In spite of all
attempts upon the part of our opponents
to prevent it. The Republican congress
held out the delusive hope of Internation
al bimetallism, while Republican leaders
labored secretly for gold monometallism.
Gold standard Democrats have publicly
advocated the election of the Indianapolis
ticket while they labored secretly for the
election of the Republican ticket. The
trusts and corporations have tried to ex
cite a fear of lawlessness while they
themselves have been defying the law und
American financiers have boasted that
they were the custodians of national hon
or while they were secretly bartering aay
the nations financial independence. But
In spite of the efforts of the administration
and Its stiporters; In spite of the threats
of money loauers, at home and abroad;
in suite of the coercion practiced by cor
porate employers; in spile of trusts and
syndicates; in spite of an enormous Re
publican camnaign fund: and in spite of
the influence of a hostile daily press, bi
metallism has almost triumphed In lis first
great fight. The loss of a few states and
that, too, by very small pluralities has
defeated bimetallism for the present, but
bimetallism emerges from the contest
stronger than it was four months ago.
COMPLIMENTS THE COMMITTER.
I desire to commend the work of the na
tional committee which have joined in
the management of the campaign. Co
operation between the members of dis
tinct political organizations Is always dif
ficult, but It has beeir less so this year
than usual. Interest In a common cause
of great Importance has reduced friction
to a minimum. I hereby express my per
sonal gratitude to the Individual mem
bers, as well as the executive officers of
the national committee of the Democratic,
Populist and Silver parties for their ef
ficient, untiring and unselfish labors.
They have laid the foundation for united
success and will be remembered as pio
neers when victory Is at last secured.
No personal or political friend nc?.l
grieve because of my defeat. My ambi
tion has been to secure immediate legis
lation rather than to enjoy the honors of
office and, therefore, defeat brings to me
no feeling of personal less. Speaking for
the wife who has hared my labors, as well
as for myself, I desire to say that We have
been amply repaid for all that we have
done.
in the love of millions of our fellow citi
zens, so kindly expressed. In knowledge
gained by personal contact with the peo
ple, and in broadened sympathies, we find
full compensation for whatever efforts
we have put forth. Our hearts have been
touched by the devotion of friends and
our lives shall prove our appreciation of
the affection of the plain people, an affec
tion which we prize as the richest reward
which this campaign has brought.
In the face of an enemy rejoicing In Us
victory, let the roll be called for the next
engagement and' urge all friends of bi
metallism to renew their allegiance to
the couse. If we are right, as I believe
we are, we shall yet triumph. Until con.
vlnced of his error, let each advocate of
bimetallism continue the work. Let all
silver clubs retain their organization, hold
regular meetings and circulate literature.
Our opponents have succeeded In this
campatKii, and must now put their theor
ies to the test. Instead of talking myste
riously about "found money" and "an
honest dollar" they must now elaborate
and defend a tiiianclul system. Every
step taken by them should be publicly
considered by the sliver clubs. Our cause
has prospered most where the money
Miicstlon has been longest discussed
among the people. During the next four
yen is It will be studied all over this na
tion t veil more than it has been studied
iu the ;ast.
PREPARING FOR 1900.
The year VJt"J Is not far away. Before
thut year arrives, international bimetal
lism will cease to deceive. Before that
year arrives those who have called them
selves gold standard Democrats will be
come bimetalllsls and be with us or they
will become Republicans und be open ene
mies. Before that year arrives trusts will
have convinced still more people thut a
trust is a menace to private welfare and
to public safety. Before that year ar
rives the evil effects of a gold standard
will be even more evident than they are
now and the people ready to demand an
American financial policy for the Ameri
can people will join with us In the imme
diate, restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of l'i to 1. without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other nation.

TOJREMAIN A MYSTERY.
No Eiplanatioa of Death of the Man
Foaad ia Hackeasack's Woods.
Hackensack, Nov. 6. It Is the general
Impression In this vicinity that the
manner In which the unknown man
whose body was found In the woods
near Tenafly on Tuesay afternoon by
Frank Van Sciver. a son of Constable
Van Sciver, met his death will never
become known. The murder and sui
cide theories are still being discussed.
An Inquest will be held by Coroner
Ricardo of this place tomorrow evening,
and the opinion is thtt the verdict will
be that the man came to his death In a
manner unkno-wn to the Jury, Those
who are Inclined to uphold' the murder
theory say that if the man committed
suicide he would have the knife with
which his throat was cut about him.
They also say that it is Improbable that
he would have stripped himself.
On the other hand, the people who
think the man committed suicide say
that he could have walked a consider
able distance after he had cut h throat
and thrown the knife away before be
ing overcome from the loss of blood.
They say that the fact that a pile of
rubbish was found but a short distance
from the body, one piece of which was
a brown cloth, evidently part of a pair
of trousers, shows that the man burn
ed his clothing before cutting his throat,
and the finding of the shoes, they con
tide, strengthens the suicide theory.
The body had evidently lain where It
was found several weeks before it was
discovered. It was badly decomposed
and unrecognisable and has been buried
by the coroner.
THE CASTLE CASE

Sir Edward Clark says he expects
that Mrs. Castles will be released to
morrow. A pamphlet will be Issued here to
morrow morning saying that most
people will be pained and surprised by
the sentence Imposed on Mrs. Castle.
There was a complete absence of mo
tive In her offences, and the medical
testimony might fairly have prompted
n nominal sentence.
THIRTEEN LIVES LOST.
Terrible ResulU of a Colllsioa ia the
Harbor at SL Jonas The Tiber
Rung Dowa a Schooner.
St. Johns, N. P., Not. . The steam-"
er Tiber, Captain Dellsle, bound for Sid
ney, left here at seven o'clock tonight.
Fifteen minutes later, when Just be
yond the entrance to the harbor, she col
lided with the schooner Maggie, bound
from Honavlsta Hay for St. Johns, with
a cargosiof fish and lumber. Thirteen
lives were lost. The schooner carried
se crew of nine and fourteen passengers,
five of whom were women. The schoon
er had her lights displayed and there
was no justification on the steamer's
part for the collision, because the night
was clear and the schooner quite near
the shore In a part of the entrance
where steamers rarely iro. The shock of
the collision was awful. The schooner
was struck amidships, cut In two pieces
and sank Instantly. All aboard were
on deck. They were thrown Into the
water and those saved were only res
cued by the help of the floating deck
loads of lumber. Several were caught
under the sails and dragged down with
the sinking vessel. Others were unable
to keep afloat until the rescue boats ar
rived, and dropped off the planks. Two
men climbed up the steamer's sides and
seven were saved by her boats. One
woman was also saved, making ten
souls saved. The other thirteen, nine
men and four women, were drowned.
Captain Blundon's wife, who was bring
ing her consumptive sixteen-year-old
boy to the hospital at St. Johns, was
drowned, though her husband had her
on a plank. The boy was saved. The
captain's brother and nephew were also
lost. Two passengers named Hallo
way, brother and sister, were drowned,
as was also James Power and his wife.
Seven widows and thirty-three orphans
is the result of this catastrophe.
The accident happened within half a
mile of the town. The steamer lay st
anchor while it sent a boat ashore to
land those saved.
The police are arnnglng to cause the
arrest of the Tiber's captain on the
charge of hianslaughter.
M'KINLEY IS PEACEFUL
A London Correspondent is Charmed
With Ills Cordial Manner.
London, Nov. 6. The Telegraph will
tomorrow publish an Interview had by
Its correspondent at Canton, Ohio, with
President-elect McKinley. Mr. McKln

England. He replied: "Not directly
from me, but you may say that no
words will better express my feelings
towards England than 'peace on earth,
good will to men.' "
The correspondent says he was
charmed by Major McKinley's genial
and cordial manner, adding that no
body In such a position could be more
unaffected and unassuming.

ACTIVITY AT PITTSBURG.
. Pittsburg, Pa.. Nov. 6. Greater ac
tivity is apparent in the Industrial in
stitutions since Wednesday . than at
any time during the year. Every mill
and workshop in Pittsburg is operat
ing more actively, or is preparing to
start Monday. A number of depart
ments which have been entirely idle
or operated spasmodically since the
summer shut down, will be in opera
tion next week. The only Industry
which has not yet felt the thrill of re
viving confidence is window glass. Ac
tivity in this line is delayed because
of the inability of the workers and
manufacturers to agree on the wage
scale. It Is though a conference will
be called soon, and that an agreement
will be arrived at. James McCrea.
first vice president of the Pennsylvania

preparing to carry out plans for bet
terments which have been held back
for several months, and doubtless con
tracts aggregating large sums in value
will be let shortly for extensions,
bridges and supplies.

WHEAT ON THE JUMP.
Will Probably Reach a Dollar it
Bushel Before Christmas.
Chicago, Nov. t. Wheat went on an
other moxlerate boom today. It closed
last night at 74'i, a sharp decline from
the closing prices of Wednesday. To
day it rose under a steady demand till
it ruled strong at 7fc'. when the bell
tapped. The advance was In response
to a strong demand for milling stuffs.
Wheat is now within 114 cents of the
highest price attained this year, or for
many years.
There is a strong feeling on the
street and among dealers everywhere
that the upward course, which was
checked before election because the
banks would risk nothing till the
money question was settled will at
once be resumed. There are abundant
prophesies of eighty cent wheat at the
opening tomorrow and "dollar wheat
before Christmas" is almost as much
a sloggan as it was in the middle of
October.
