Comment of the—lgrggn Press on the
Election Results.

 

x-ADVIOE FREELY OFFERED.

Great Anxiety Espressed With Regard to
the Policy of :President McKinley.
The “Thunder-or” Says It Was
Not a Party Victory.

LONDON, Nov. 6.—The Financial News
says today in an editorial: “Mr. McKin-
ley will do well in the hour of his triumph
to remember that he was elected not on
account of his protective policy, but in
spite of it. For the moment British trade
benefits. Millions of pounds’ worth of
orders have been placed here for some time
contingent on Bryan’s defeat. But it is
well to remember the possibility of a re-
newal of the protective policy, and that
the defeat of the silverites does not settle
the currency problem. ” ¢

The Times’ financial article says:
“There is a growing belief. that Mr. Mc-
Kinley’s election will not cause the imme«
diate return of ,much of the recently ex-
ported gold, and it cannot even be confi-
dently counted on to stop the drain from
this. side. Well informed observers, there
fore, do not expect a material decline in
he value of money for some weeks to
come. Mr. McKinley’s great victory creates
the hope that something better than the
mere defeat of schemes for the free coinage
of silver may be attained. Real reform of
the monetary arrangements of the United
States is today less beyond the bounds of
probability than it was yesterday. The
Republican party, which is responsible for
much of the confusion of the present sys-
tem, it may be hoped has learned wisdom
in some respects. At any rate ‘it seems
more disposed to heed the advice of its
supporters engaged in business and
finance.”

The Daily NOWS says in its editorial on
the election: “The cloud has been dispers-
ed, and all projects for tampering with the
currency have been consigned to oblivion.
Mr. Bryan assailed the foundations of
commerce, and the commercial commu-
nity has given him his reward. Mr. Mc-
Kinley owes his tremendous majority not
to his own merits, but to his opponent’s
demerits. He has not been elected to re-
vive a tariff, but to maintain sound
money. He has not been elected by a party
vote, and he ought not, at the White
House, to be a party man.”

The Satirical Post.

The Morning Post says: “It was the
double dealing of the Republicans which
gave the Bryanites their opportunity. It
remains to be seen whether the Americans
will benefit by this obvious lesson. It is
much to expect, and we must not be san-
gains.”

The Standard follows the general views
in rejoicing over the victory, but adds the
reminder that, besides being a triumph of
good faith, it is also a triumph of protec-
tion.

The Graphic, in its comments, says:
“The American people have risen in their
might and have annihilated one of the
grossest conspiracies that ever was hatched
by politicians. The upheaval was man-
aged, however, at the serious cost of creat-
ing a recognized political party of prole-
tarians which is likely to grow and de-
velop under the protection regime.”

The Times editorial says: “The Ameri-
can people have earned the congratulations
of the whole world. They have vindicat-

‘ed the character of the republic for hon—g.
esty and dignity and for contempt for
demogogic arts. It is essentially not a
party victory, and when Mr. McKinley
takes the reins that fact most not be for-
gotten. There is reason to believe that
the victory will bring a sound money ma-
jority into the senate. The immediate
fact, however, is that the subversive and
dishonest doctrines which Mr. Bryan
championed have been spurned and swept
aside by the plain honesty and simple
common sense which we rejoice to note
are still characteristic of the majority of
the countrymen of Washington and Lin-
coin.”

After devoting some attention to ana-
lyzing the voting The Times proceeds:
“Great as is Mr. McKinley’s strength in
the electoral college, it fails to show ado—
quately the full extent and significance of
the victory, which is the outcome of a pas-
sionate and sincere revolt against the cor-
rupt, influence of the silver interests and
the anarchic doctrines of Altgeld, Debs,
Tillman and Henry George. ” The Times
concludes with a warning that Bryanism
is not killed. “Much depends,” it says,
“on the use which Mr. McKinley makes
of his unique opportunity. It is rather
doubtful, looking at the fact that he strad-
dled to the last possible moment on the
silver question, whether his firmness will
prove impregnable against a silver major-
ity in the senate. Mr. Cleveland, in 1892,
had a majority equal to Mr. McKinley’s
now, yet the Democrats are now divided,
disorganized and despairing.”

German Opinion.

The Daily Mail’s Berlin correspondent
says that large American orders were also
placed in Germany contingent upon Mr.
Bryan’s defeat. This correspondent also
says: “American diplomats in Berlin are
convinced that government circles would
have liked Mr. Bryan to be elected in or-
der to embarrass the United States because
of the fear of fiscal reprisals for Germany’s
vexatious restrictions on American im-
ports.”

The Daily News in its special article on
the city’s view of the election thinks that
European investments in American secur-
ities will be resumed, and that there will
be a permanently higher level of prices on
both sides of the Atlantic. The paper’s
financial article agrees with that in The
Times that the continuance of a dear
money market is probable and that gold
will still go to the United States as the
result of the rise in wheat, although it is
credibly reported that very large orders
for English manufactures were cabled
from the United States yesterday.

An editorial in The Chronicle says:
“Rosy prophecy has been overdone. There
is nothing in Mr. McKinley’s programme
likely to bring prosperity to the masses of
the people. Although a change in the
tariff is unlikely for a long time, the end
isnot yet. The landslide exists only in
the exuberant Republican imagination.
The wonder is not that such a candidate
as Mr. Bryan is defeated. but that he was
so immensely supported. The American
people are destined to fight hard from time
. to time for honesty- and order. We con-
gratulate Americ‘a’dn the victory of sound
finance, butthecjracmd of the Republican
party is too‘bagfigfir‘. joy over the result.
With regard i_‘¢f",.tii§"possibility of a tariff,
We comfort (.3: selves with the reflection
that nothing .. said so afi'ect our commerce
is free trade for America.”

The 'afte noon newspapers today "all

 

 

have long comments on the result of thi;
election. They are similar in tone to
those of yesterday and repeat their warn-
ings that “Bryanism is not dead."

 

 

The-vl‘rencl: View.

PARIS, Nov. 6.-—Le Matin expresses
the opinion that “the election does not
give cause for anxiety. The uncompro-
mising protectionism of McKinley will be
woakened in the exercise of office.”

The socialist newspapers protest against
the election of McKinley and hold that,
“although Bryan is .not a real socialist,
his triumph would have benefited the
workingmen.” Le Soleil says that the
“present state of the public migi would
almost suffice for a man with emu-age to
tear up the stars and stripes to find array-
ed behind him all the rough western pio-
neers, including many old German soldiers
inured to discipline,” adding, “Will that
man be forthcoming?”

Le Libre Parole deplores the result of
the election, which it regards as being
the “opening of an era of economic con-
flicts which may ruin the old world,” and
says: “The recognition of the Cuban in-
surgents as belligerents is included in Me-
Kinley’s programme, and from that point
to war with Spain is only a step. But
McKinley will reflect beforehand, because
Europe might well support Spain. As
regards France, she has nothing to expect
from McKinley, who is an admirer of Ger-
many.”

L’Eolair says, “The clearest result for
us seems to be the closing of the Amer-
ican market, and that is why it is difficult
to cry, ‘Long live McKinley!’ without
bitterness and reservation.”

Le Journal remarks, “The mass of the
American people were aware that the sil-
ver millionaires would not be more pitiful
toward misery than the gold millionairefi. ”

Le Gaulois expresses the opinion “is at
“the election was a splendid triumph for
the United States. The success of Bryan
would have meant the overthrow of- the
relations between capital and labor and a
class war. - From the point of view of Eu-
rope the ultra protectionism Of McKinley
renders the commerce of America and Eu-
rope open to serious attack. If McKinley
recognizes the Cubans as belligerents, it
is not Spain alone which will suffer, and
Europe might well come to regret Cleve-
land, whose wisdom has prevented many
conflicts.”

Sees Hope For Cuba.

PARIS, Nov. 6 —The Gil Bias today
publishes an'interview with the Paris rep-
resentative of the Cuban republican com-
mittee during which he is quoted as de-
claring that the result of the election is a

. triumph for Cuba.

How Spain Regards It.

MADRID, Nov. o.——The n_ wspapers here
express satisfaction with the‘result of the
election and say they hope that the policy
of Major McKinley will be more prudent
than that of Mr. Cleveland.

Globe Theater In St. Louis Burned.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.—The Globe theater,
between'Walnut and Elm streets, on Sev-
enth street, was entirely destroyed by fire
today. The flames were discovered back
of the stage about 2:45 a. m. Forty
persons were in the building. The fire
spread, but all the occupants escaped,
though with difficulty. William Gray, the
stage manager, jumped from the third
story window and sustained fatal injuries.
The Garner hotel, in the rear, caught fire
and was damaged considerably. The loss
on the theater building is $15,000.

Preacher Johnson Must Die.

- TRESTON, Nov. 6.—The supreme court
today confirmed the conviction in the
Somerset county court of Jacob S. John-
son, the colored preacher, tried for the
murder of Annie Rogeré, a colored wom-
an. The court granted a new trial in the
cases of Araigo and Spine, two Italians
convicted of murder in the Middlesex
county court.

Fitz Hugh Lee Returns.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Consul} General
Fitz Hugh Lce arrived today on the Ward
line steamer Vigilanca. General Lee
would give no definite information in re-
gard to his plans, but said that he should
go at once to Washington. The return of
General Lee has been looked forward to as
likely to mark a crisis in our relations
with Cuba.

' HANNA Ill '4an YORK.
the Republican Campaign Manager Gives
His Views of th‘ Result,

NEW YORK, lIov. (i.—Mr. Mark Hanna,
manager of the McKinley campaign, came
to town from Chicago today, rosy as to
face, ,rotund in figure, but with black cir-
cles under his eyes that show he is shy a
lot of sleep. '

Mr. Hanna was feeling as chipper as a
man could feel who has won as great a
victory as he has won.

He disclaimed any surprise at the result

of the election, and said he had not been
at all concerned as to the result since the
campaign started.

“I am gratified at our success in some
of the southern states, ” he said.

“To what do I attribhte our victory in
the west? Well, principally to the con-
viction of the farmers toward the end of
the fight that Republican success did not
mean pure gold monometallism, but sim-
ply a continuance of government opera
tions on a gold standard.

“The sound money issue was, of course,
the dominant issue of the campaign, ex-
cept toward the end, when Bryan, on his
last western tour, Altgeld and Tillman
created a new issue, or tried to do so—
that of arraying the classes against the
masses. They relegated the financial is-
sue to the rear and sought to win the fight
on secial lines, but the people were not
with them.

”They did succeed in arousing consider-
able antagonism to myself and other. Re-
publican leaders on the ground that we
were plutocrats. The greatest damage
they did, however, was to compel me to
make a political speech.

“I do not care to discuss the probable
continuance of silver agitation, but I
thoroughly believe that with a. helping
congress strongly in favor of sound money
there is no immediate danger to our finan-
cial interests.

“As far as the tariff is concerned, I be—
lieve there will be a modification of exist-
ing laws to the extent of placing the gov-
ernment upon a self supporting basis.

“I do not know that Major McKinley’s
views have undergone any change since
his speech in Chicago last February, in
which he said he believed that the tariff
should be figuratively as long as a man’s
leg—long enough to reach from his body
to- the ground. That‘s an old Lincoln
story, and I think it explains Governor
McKinley’s position entirely.

“Do I believe that the activity already
manifested in business since election will
be permanent? Yes; most assuredly. I
believe there will be improvement all
around as a result of the election.

“Speculative stock may rise and fall,
but I believe business will be vastly im-
proved. "

Mr. Hanna will remain in this city un—
til next Monday, closing i‘p the affairs of
the national committee here. He will give
a banquet to the political reporters at the
Waldorf Saturday le’ fiat. -

Major McKinley to Take a. Best.

CANTON, 0., Nov. 6.—-—Major McKinley
was about at an early hour today, show-
ing his old time vigor and appearing en-
tirely recovered from the intense physical
and nervous strain of the last few days.
As a drizzling rain-was falling, he hoisted
his umbrella, and, with a friend, took a
walk down street, the first outdoor exer-
cise since the electiOn. Mrs. McKinley
was suiiiciently recovered from her attack
of grip to be around the house.

lajor McKinley’s friends, who have
marveled at the work he has done and the
endurance he has shown for the past five
months," have been steadfastly urging him
to take a trip. He has invitations from
relatives in Chicago for an after election
visit and has decided, upon the advice of
Mrs. McKinley’s physician, to take a run
up to Cleveland, where he will be the
guest of Colonel and Mrs. Myron T. Her-
rick for several days. What day he will
leave has not been decided upon, but it
will probably be the first of next week.
It is not thought that he will accept any
other invitations at this time, east or west,
and his visit to Cleveland will be a quiet
one for rest for himself.

 

 

“’yomlng.

CHEYENNE, Nov. 6._-—Both parties new
claim the electoral and congressional vote
of Wyoming. The Republican state com-
mittee has returns from 11 of 13 counties,
and these, with estimates of the two re-
maining, indicate the election of Repub-
lican electors and congressman by a plu-
rality of about 200. The Democratic state
committee has returns from 11 counties
showing a majority of 501. They say that
the incomplete counties will give a Demo-
cratic plurality of 300. A "conservative
view of the situation is that the state will
be carried by less than 7300 plurality, and
complete returns from every county in
the state will be necessary to determine
which party will have this plurality. The
state legislature will be 40 Republicans
and 16 Democrats on joint ballot.

Large uoiu finders.

\VASHINGTON, Nov. 6,—Information re-
ceived at the treasury department shows
that large amounts Of gold are being offer-
ed at the several subtreasuries in exchange
for currency, no stipulation being made as
to legal tenders. One million in gold was
offered at Boston.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The police figures
in the Tenth assembly district show that
Jeremiah J. Sullivan, the Republican
candidate, is elected by a majority of four
votes over Otto Kempner, his Democratic
opponent. Sullivan was formerly a base-
ball umpire.
