NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. —-New York city
and state are Republican by pronounced
majoirties. The city gives McKinley and
Hobart 23,000, Brooklyn and Kings coun-
ty 30, 000, and the up state Republicans
come down to the Harlem with more than
200,000.
Frank S. Black, the Republican candi-
date for governor, has received a very much
larger plurality than the phenomenal one
given to Morton in 1894. The total vote
cast was in excess of the total for 1894,
when the total was 1,275,671. That year
Morton’s plurality was 156,108, the toitial
vote for Morton being 673,818; for H 1,
517,710. The votes for the other candi-
tes were as follows: Baldwin, Prohibi-
tcuist, 23,525; Matthews, People’s Party,
11,049; Wheeler, Democrat. .l‘eform, 27,-
202; Matchett, Socialist-Labor. 15,868.
The returns seem to indicate that the
plurality for McKinley is in excess of 285,-
000, and that for Black in excess of 260,-
000. Porter and Schraub for the Demo-
crats ran a trifle ahead of the Bryan ticket
in the state. The Prohibition candidate
for governor, William W. Smith, and for
lieutenant governor, Chase Lattimer; the
Socialist-Labor party candidate for govern-
or, Howard Balkem, and for lieutenant
governor, Frederick Bennett—ran about
evenly with their national ticket, except
in their home districts, where each had a
fair complimentary vote over their associ-
ate party nominees on their party ticket.
Irving G. Van of Syracuse is elected to
succeed himself as associate judge of the
court of appeals by a plurality which is in
excess of that obtained by the head of the
Republican state ticket. . _
In five districts in which supreme court
judges were to beelected all are-Republic-
ans.
As had been predicted in these dis-
patches, -the only county that went Dem-
ocratic was Schoharie. Chemung county,
which two years ago was one of two coun-
ties north of the Harlem to give a pin-
rality to David B. Hill, has given both the
. state and national tickets a plurality.
For the assembly the latest available
corrections Show that, instead of decreas-
ing the large Republican majority held in
the house last year, it has been increased
by about ten, and that the Republicans
have an almost unwieldly majority. The
majority in the congressional districts
leave the delegation about the Same as last
year.
The revised returns from this state for-
congress Show the following are elected:
Joseph M. Beiford, Republican; Dennis
M. Hurley, Republican; Francis E. Wil-
son, Republican; Israel F. Fisher, Re-
publican; Charles G. Bennett, Republic-
an; James H. Howe. Republican; John

LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 5.—The fusion tick-
et in Arkansas was elected by a majority
of from 25,000 to 30,000. -
Returns fiom over the state indicate
that about the usual vote was polled. A
few counties show a slight increase over
the September election. .
The Democratic candidates for congress
were all elected by good majorities, Terry
in the Fourth receiving about 8,000 over
Waters, Republican. McRae in the Third
carried one of the strongest Republican
precincts in Hempstead county. . ;
It will be'scveral days before all the re-”
turns are in from the back counties, but
from the'figures at hand the Democratic
majority is conservatively, estimated at
25,000. The three Popdlists on,t_h_e_ ticket
ran about 2,_000,_,behind the Democratic,
which about represents, the.gcld, standard
Democratic strength in the state.
~ ’ CALIFORNIA. ,
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5.-—Gomplete :re-
turns from 886 of the 2,377 precincts: in
this state give McKinley 58,975; Bryan,
54,676. . ,

COLORADO. .
DENVER, Nov. 5.-—.-_Scattering returns
show that Bryan and Sewall have carried
Colorado by over 100,000 plurality in a to«
tal vote of about 175,000. No effort has
yet been made to tabulate .the returns.
The Democratic-Silver-Republican fu-
sion state ticket, headed by Alva Adams,
Democratic candidate for governor, appar-
ently has a plurality of 112,000 over the
Populist-Silver party fusion ticket.
Bailey, Populist candidate for governor,
carried this (Arapahce) county by about
1,200 plurality, but most of the other pop-
ulous counties give large majorities for
Adams. The Republican state ticket got
fewer votes than the Republican electoral
ticket, and Waite, middle of the road
Populist, was a poor fourth in the race.

Altgeld is defeated for governor, but ran
30,000 ahead of his ticket.
Illinois will send at least 19 out of 22
congressmen to Washington. Chicago

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.—The ratio of
Republican gain in this state 'has staid in
the neighborhood of ten to the precinct
since the returns began coming it. While
not one-fourth of the state has been heard
from, the returns already in are sufficient-
ly scattered to indicate pretty defifiitely
that McKinley’s plurality will not fall be-
low 25,000. The heaviest gains were in
the cities and towns. It is impossible to
state just how many congressmen the Re-
publicans have elected or just how the
legislature will stand, but there is little or
no doubt that the Republicans will elect
a big majority of both.
KA N SAS.
TOPEKA, Nov. 5.—-It seems practically
certain that Bryan has carried Kansas by
a small majority. Chairman Breidentbal
of the Democratic state committee claims
the state by 13,000. Chairman Simpson
of the Republican state committee, how-
ever, refuses to surrender and declares i
that complete returns may show a victory
for the Republicans. The Democrats claim
the election of congressmen in the Third, i
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts by ma-
jorities of from 2,500 to 6,000. The First
district is conceded to Broderick, Repub- ‘
lican, and the Fourth is classed doubtful. :
Returns generally indicate Republican '
losses.
Sedgwlck county returns are not all in,
but there is no doubt that the silver men
have carried the county, electing all their
ticket exce t one representative, who is
still in don t. '
KENTUCKY.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5.—-Kentucky seems ‘
safe for McKinley, though the majority is
small. 'In 1,265 precincts out of 1,663
his plurality is 3,506.
The counties not heard from are Leslie,
Floyd, Johnson, Knott. Magofiin, Pike,
Butler, Greenup, Harrison, Jackson,0wen
and part of Henry.
These include some; strong Republican
as well as strong silver counties, but the
heavy Republican gains everywhere seem,
to make the state safe for McKinley,
though the result may be close.
Taking the estimates of the missing
counties made several days ago by Chair-
man Somers of the Democratic commit-
vcte is 1,238. This would give the state
to’ McKinley by 4, 744. ‘
The Democrats elected six out of 11 con-
gressmen. They are Charles K. Wheeler,
First district; J. D. ~Ciardy, re-elected,’
Second district; John S. Shea, Third dis-
trict; David Smith, Fourth district; Al-
bert S. Berry, re-elected, Sixth district;
Thomas Y. Fitzpatrick, Tenth district.
The Republicans have Walter Evans,
re-elected, Fifth district; Thomps Pugh,
Ninth district; B. M. Davidson," Eighth
district, and David G. Colscm, Eleventh
district. ’
Late returns from Owen and Henry
Counties in the Seventh district show Bry-
an majorities of 2,250 and 398 respectively,
which easily overcomes Breckinridge's
lead and elects Settle, Democrat, to con-
gress by about 1.500.

LOUISIANA
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. a—Tze election
yesterday was the most peaceabl m qniet
ever held in this state. In the county" par-
ishes the Australian ballot had the afloat
of keeping many negroes from the pens,
resulting in a light vote. With half a
dozen precincts missing, Bryan’s majority
in the city is 10,000; majority in the state
may 'exceed 30,000. A full Democratic
delegation is elected to congress.
MARYLAND. .
BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.—Thc total plural-
ity for McKinley in the counties is 9,763,
and in the city of Baltimore 21,190, mak-
ing the total pluarlity 30,872 in the state.
Republican pluralities in the counties
were as follows:

.41” MICHIGAN.~ , -
DETROIT, Nov. 5.--Returns, incomplete
as yet, from the 83 counties of Michigan
indicate McKinley’s plurality in Michigan
to be. 40,000. The so returns give Pin-
gree for governor aniestimated plurality
of 58,000. That Pingree should have run
decidedly ahead of his ticket generally
throughout the state is regarded as some-
thing of a surprise in view of the combined
interests allied against him. In Detroit
Pingree got more votes than he had ever
received in his candidacy for mayor. In
128 precincts of this county Pingree re-
ceived 37,923 to 19,154 for Sligh; McKin-
ley, 33,658; Bryan, 24,317.
The Republican state ticket ran consid-
erably behind Pingree's vote and several
thousand behind the McKinley vote. The
Republican members of congress are elect—
ed in each of the 12 districts of the state
except the Third and Eighth, and in- the
Eighth the issue is still doubtful between
Congressman Linton and Ferdinand
Brucker. Wayne county elected the en-
tire Republican delegation to the legisla-
ture—10 representatives and 4 senators——
although ex-Mayor William G. Thompson
for senator narrowly escaped defeat.
The legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican, but by what majority is not
yet determined.
Chairman Babcock received a dispatch
from Detroit today saying that Corliss in
the First, Spauldlng in Second, Hamilton’
in Fourth, Smith in Fifth,.Snover in Sev-
enth, Bishop'in Ninth, Crump in Tenth,
Mesick in Eleventh and Sheldon in
Twelfth, all Republicans, are elected to
congress, and that Todd, fusion. has de-
feated Milnes, Republican, in the Third,
with Berghan in doubt. .

The Journal claims Towne’s defeat for
congress in the Sixth district. Morris car-
ried St. Louis county, in which is Duluth,
by 1,500, but lost Stearns by 3,000. Chair-
man Willcutts claims Morris’ election.
MISSISSIPPI.
JACKSON, Nov. 5.——Bryan’s plurality,
estimated, in this state is 30,000. The Dem-
ocratic congressmen are elected by from
1,000 to 3,000 .each.
M I S SO U R I.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.—Missouri returns
are very incomplete, but it is known with-
out doubt that St. Louis has given Mc'
Kinley from 12,000 to 25,000 plurality,
the former being conceded by the Demo—
crats and the latter claimed by the Repub-
licans. _ There seems to be no doubt that
two of the three congressmen in St. Lana
will be Republican—Bartholdt, in the
Tenth district, and Pearce, in the Twelfth
district. Congressman Joy, Republican,
appears to have been defeated by Hunt,
Democrat. according to latest returns.
The lateness of returns from the city and
state is due to complications in the elec-
tion law recently enacted and put into
force for the first time at this. election.
Added to this, the counting of the vote on
four constitutional amendments caused
further loss of time, each having to be
taken up s‘eparately. The indications or
that all these amendments were defeated.
Less than one-half of the election precincts
in Missouri have been heard from. They
show a lead for Bryan, which Chairman
Cook, claims will give him the state by
70,000 plurality. He also claims the elec-
tion of 12 Democratic congressmen out-
side of St. Louis and the full state ticket.
with Stevens for governor. In the state
the only definite returns as to congress-
men arc the Third and Fourth districts,
the Democratic candidate being elected in
each. Dockery was re-elected in the Third
and Cochran elected in the Fourth. On
the other hand, the Republicans claim
that the state is in doubt. The returns
' thus far received show a large increase in
the vote for both~parties as compared with
the vote of 1892, and the Republicans as-
sert that the advantage is largely with
them. Lewis, the Republican candidate
for governor, ran ahead of the national
ticket in most of the country districts.
MONTANA.
BUTTE, Mon., Nov. 5.—Bryan’s major-
ity in the state may reach 15,000. The
entire Democratic-Populist fusion state
ticket is elected with the possible excep-
tion of associate justice of the supreme
court, treasurer and secretary of state.
N E B R AS KA.
OMAHA, Nov. 5.—While Bryan has prob-
ablycarried Nebraska by a small plural?
ity, Republicans are not conceding that
fact’, since less than 300 of 1,554 precincts
,in this state have been heard from. A
definite result cannot be known for some'
time. Bryan is steadily gaining inmost
cf the remote rural districts yet to hear
from. It is conceded that Bryan’s great
strength is there, and it will probably
overcome the 2,000 plurality McKinley
has in Omaha. The feature of the contest
is the enormous vote polled, probably 10
per cent heavier than at any previous
time. This is attributed to that element
which has heretofore refused to partici-
pate in elections, but which the financial
issue in this campaign brought to the
front. As a result of the generous man-
ner in which the state ticket was scratched

ed, as he ran aheo'd of Bryan in miny sec—
tions. The probabilities are the state ticket
is divided between the two parties and
will be close on all results.‘ The legisla-
ture, however, is largely open. - In the.
congressional districts, while little. is defi-
nitely known except in the Secdnd, where
Mercer is re-elected, there is little doubt
that the Republicans have elected four of
the remaining five congressmen. Max-
well, silver Democrat in the Third, is
probably elected. The complete state vote
will probably exceed 230,000. The heavi~
est vote previously polled in Nebraska was
in 1894, 210,000. In view of ,the intense
excitement in lpbraska it is considered
that no disturbances of importance oc-
curred eiection day.
Two hundred and thirty precincts in
Nebraska outside of Omaha give McKin-
ley 22,180; Bryan, 21,585. Two years

neither Bryan nor Holcomb, the latter
being the fusion candidate for governor,
will have anything like the plurality
claimed by Chairman Dahiiman and Ed-
mllton, the Democratic and Populist chair-
men. He says the legislative and congres-
siOnal candidates are still in doubt. It
appears quite certain, however, that the

received show material Re ublicen losses.
' ,The Republicans have c mpiete returns
from cnl 235 election precincts out of a
total of .600. These give a Republican
plurality of 2,450, but they indicate losses,
and they do not show the large losses in
Douglas and Lancaster counties. in which
the cities of Omaha and Lincoln are situ-
ated. Judge. Post does not concede the
entire state ticket, but the opposition
claims it all, and also the legislature and
all the congressmen. It looks as if the fa
sionists would secure almost everything,
and it is certain that Mr. Bryan’s owu
state will give him a handsome plurality.
NEVADA.
RENO, Nov. 5.—The election in this
state passed off very quietly.. A large vote
was cast. Reports are very meager, as
most towns are isolated. They show, how-
ever, that Bryan will carry the state by
5,000 majority.
N EW J E RS EY.
TRENTON, Nov. - 5.-—The latest return.
from New Jersey indicate that McKinley
has carried the state by a plurality of 72,-
050. The Republicans have elected seven
of the eight congressmen, with the Sev-
enth, or Hudson county, district in doubt.
Returns from Monmouth county show the
election of Francis, Republican, for state
senator by 300. This gives the Republic-
ans geven of the eight senators, the Demo
crat elected being Barber of Warren
county.

OHIO.
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 5.—More complete
returns reduce the Republican plurality
claimed last night about one-third.
The returns from cities were received
last n ht, and the returns from the rural
distric today are increasing the Dem-
ocratic vote, so that McKinley’s plurality
' is now estimated at from 50,000 to 60,000.
The largest Republican plurality ever giv-
en a president in Ohio was 34, 000 for Gar-
field in 1880. Republicans still claim this
will be doubled.
The Democratic state committee gave
out no figures last night and have none
today, but it claims it will make gains
over the vote of the last three years,
when the Republicans had pluralities oi
80,000 in 1893, 137,000 in 1894 and 92,006
in 1895. The Democrats claim from four
to five of the 21 congressmen, and the Re
publicans concede three congressmen tc
them. When the Republicans won by
137,000 two years ago, the Democrats
elected only two congressmen. ‘
The Democrats today claim the electior
of George W. Marshall, David Meekiscn,
James A. Norton and James McDowail in
the Fourth, Fifth, Thirteenth and Seven;

Third and Twelfth districts is in doubt.

fourths of the total vote of Oregon has-
been received. McKinley 32 .‘33; Bryan,
27,409; McKinley’s plural. ty 4, 124. Palm-
er’s vote in the state will be about 100. It
is estimated that the precinctsyet to be
heard from will reduce McKinley’s plu-
rality 1,500, making his plurality in the
state 3, 200.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—A Tribune speck
form Portland, 0r., says: “McKinley has
carried Multonomah County by 5,000 ma«
jority. Reports indicate a very heavy vote
throughout the state. 'It is thought Bryan
will come to Portland with a very small
plurality. McKinley has probably_carriad
the state by a small plurality.”
NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, Nov. 5.—Returns up to noon
indicate Bryan carries North Carolina by
10,000. Republicans at that hour, how-
ever, would not concede the state.
NORTH DAKOTA.
BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 5.—The Re.
publicans claim to- have carried the state
by form 5.000 to 8,000. Fifty-three pre-
cincts out of 123 give McKinley 2,608;
Bryan, 1,617. This is a Republican gain
and shows that the Republican national,
state and congressional tickets are proba-
bly elected, and that North Dakota will
have a senator who favors the gold stand-
ard; The roads in the country are par-
ticularly bad on account of the recent
snowstorm. It was impossible to drive
overland in certain parts of the Red river
valley.

PENNSYLVANIA.
.PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.—Rock bound
Republican Pennsylvania will give Mc-
Kinley a majority well up toward 269,000.
Owing to the enormous size of the ballots,
figures, especially here in Philadelphia,
are hard to get at. ,
Enough has been received, however, to
show that McKinley will have over 115.-
000 majority in Philadelphia, and the
state will swell this. This is the great-
est majority ever given by the Gibraltar
of Republicanism.
The Republicans, however, lost two
congressmen, as in this city Congressman
William McAleer defeated Congressman
Halterman in the Third ditrict, and in
the Seventeenth district Walsh defeated
Congressmanflulp. , The Democrats also
re-eleot their two congressmen in the
Eighth and Ninth districts. This about

PROVIDENCE, Nov. 5.—The victory of
the Republmans in Rhode Island was far
greater than the most sanguine had antic-
ipated. Everywhere the galnsflwere be-

CHARLESTON, Nov. 5.—Bryan will carry
the state by an estimated plurality of 30,-
000. All seven congres‘flnen are Demo-
cratic.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
HURON, S. D., Nov. 5. —One hundred
and fifty-six out of 1,097 precincts in
South Dakota give McKinley 10,632;
Bryan, 9,411. Same precincts in 1894 gave
Republbicans 10,671; oppositions, 8,408.
On the same ratio the state will go for Mo-
Kinley by only 200. The country precincts
may wipe this out.
YANKTON, Nov. 5. —Returns from the
state are hard to get. Only one-third of
the vote has been received Out of 30,000
votes cast McKinley has 1,500 majority.
The gain in the Bryan vote over estimates
is 20 per cent thus far, while MoKinley’s
gain is only 3 per cent. If this continues,
Bryan will have a majority. All of the
towns of importance gave McKinley good
majorities except Yanktcn and Sioux
Falls, where the vote was about a tie.
T E N N E SS E E .
NASHVILLE, Nov. 5 —Returns received
from the state are very meager. The
Democrats are claiming the state for Bry-
an, and there is a probability that how!“
get a small plurality. The Republicans
still claim the state by 'a small plurality
and are more confident of the election of
their candidate for governor.
TEXAS.
DALLAS, Nov. 5.—The count is slow.
Nothing ofiicial can be obtained, and it is
hard to estimate the result in Dallas.
Bryan will carry the state by nearly 50,.
000, with the Democratic state ticket
somewhat behind.
UTAH.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5.—Bryan has
carried Utah, but it is impossible yet to
state the majority.
V E R M O N T.
MONTPELIER, Nov. 5 —The emphatic
way in which the Green Mountain State
voters expressed themselves in the Sep-
tember election precluded the possibility
of excitement in the national election. It
was because of the knowledge of how the
state would go and confidence of the Re-
publican party leaders in the size of their
plurality that no effort was made to get in
yesterday’s vote. '
The returns are yet greatly incomplete,
and may be until tomorrow. The only
apparent effort made to canvass the vote
is in the cities, and on the strength of
these majorities the claim is made that
Vermont’s contribution in figures to the
Republican victOry is slightly under the
September plurality, or about 40,000.
WASHINGTON.
TACOMA, Nov. 5.--Sullivan, Republican
candidate for governor, concedes the elec-
tion of Rogers, his fusion opponent. The
Bryan and fusion state ticket have appar-
ently carried the state by a majority of
less than 5,000 and will control the legis«
lature. Returns from precincts in Wash-
ington outside Tacoma and Seattle give
McKinley 2,890; Bryan, 3,320; Sullivan,
Republican, for governor, 2,819; Rogers,
fusion, 3,413.
SEATTLE, Wash., ov. 5.—The Popu-
lists are claiming ea tern Washington by
5,000 majority, based on estimates of less
than half of the count. The most popu-
lous counties in western Washington are
giving McKinley small, majorities. The
PostoIntelligencer returns indicate that
Bryan has carried the state by a majority
~.- .-_-u.—-

of perhaps 3, 000.
WEST VIRGINIA.
WuEnLING, Nov. 5. -Eleven a. In. re-
turns from the state, which are slow, show
Republican gains over 1892, and there is a
probability that the state has gone for Mo-
Kinley. Wetzel county, which gave Cleve-
land 627 majority, will probably not ex-
ceed 300 for Bryan. ‘ Gilmer county gives
350 Democratic majority; Mineral county
has given 300 Republican majority;
Brooke county, 189 for McKinley.
CHARLESTOWN, W. Va., Nov. 5. —There
Is absolutely nothing received at Demo-
cratic headquarters by which a majority
can be based for either party. A few tel-
egrams received by Secretary Olney an-
nounce gains, but not enough counties
have been heard from to form an idea of
the result. The Democrats claim the state
by 8,000 and Republicans by from 10,000
to 18,000.
GRAFTON, Nov. 5.—Congress, West Vir-
ginia, Second district, A. G. Dayton, Re-
publican. ,.
WYOMING.
CHEYENNE, Nov. d—Thirty-uine Wyo«
ming precincts give McKinley 1,400;
Bryan, 1,462; Democratic gain of 364.
Incomplete returns from two precincts in
Evanstcn and eight in Laramie give Dem-
ocratic gain of 623 votes on 1,871 polled.
This ratio of gain in the entire state will
give Bryan 1,300 plurality. Congressional
and state tickets run pretty nearly the
same as the electoral.
Eckels on the Result.
.CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Comptrcller Eckels,
who was at the national Democratic head-
quarters,_ said: “I think, the result is just
what might have been expected. ‘ When-
ever the question has been put to the vot-
ers, ‘Will the American people pay their
debts?’ it has always been decided that
they would. We pay our debts. The na-
tion pays its debts. The importance of
the result in the business world is that it
means the rehabiliment of American credit
abroad. That means that investors are
"flips: to put their idle cor-Ital in our en-
terprise. This electim- means the com-
plete reorganization of the Democratic
party. For a long period of time the Dea
mocracy has been the haven refuge for
every element of discontent in the coun-
try. It had to be reorganized, and now
is as good as any other time. The Dem-
ocratic ' politicians will learn from We
election that it is better to have the busi-
ness interests with them than to have the
disturbing clemen ts. ”
The Next Senate. ‘
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. —Frcm retnrne
thus far received the next senate probihl! ,
will stand as followsLRepublicans, 4 ;
Democrats, 32; independents and Pop -
lists, 11; doubtful, 5'; total, 90. On the '
currency question the senate undoubtedly
will have an nntisilver majority. »
The doubtful states are Delaware. Kan-
sas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Scutii
Dakota. The Republicans would noel!
45 with the vice president to control the.
senate. The Republican senators 'wlio
bolted the St. Louis ticket and platform
are classedwas indopendents.HThey are
Teller, Dubois. Mantle and Cannon. An-
other Utah senator, to be elected to succeed
Bréwn, will no doubt bean independent.
Tillman 'Won‘t Give Up.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—'Senatcr Tillman
sends the following to TheTribunezj “I
do not conqede McKinley’s election, aid,
though the returns up to data point that
way. If he is elected, the fight against
plutccracyrand the gold standard will-vndt
be abandoned. The present agitation n
no more be stopped than was that whi h'.
resulted in the emancipation of the slaves.
The agricultural classes can never hope

Tribune claims the following as the com-'
plexlon of the next congressional body:
Senators—Republican, 46; Democrats, 33;
independents, 11. Representatives—Re—
publican, 227; Democrats, 118; independ-

FOREIGN COMMENT.
How the Result of the Election Is Be-
garded In other Countries.
LONDON, Nov. 5.—The election of Major
McKinley to the presidency of the United
States had a marked effect upon Ameri—
can securities here today. Business on
the, Stock Exchange opened with a rush to
buy. Milwaukees and Louisvilles led the
advance, quickly followed by the entire
list at advances of $2 to 36, which sent the
brokers flying hatless in every direction to
join in the wild hubbub inside, while in
the streets customers were coming up by
the dozens.
According to the general impression,
the election will result in a rapid diminu-
tion of the gold withdrawals for the Unit-
ed States, and there is no doubt that Ma-
jor McKinley's victory favorably aficcted'
the Stock Exchange throughout. Consuls
opened tbree-clghths higher than yester-v
da . :. .
A leading English stock broker, in an it}
terview with a representative of the p_ ' ~
said: “McKinley’s election has . bod _ '
the whole market. Large buying
from New York were sent after the ,
of the election was known in the U-
States and started the market. This w
followed by English buying of American
and English stocks. ” .
All the newspapers comment upon the
election. 7
The Star remarks: “We in England
have great reason to rejoice at the over-
whelming defeat of the attack npon*the
gold standard. Great evils may be in.
store, but no high tariff can inflict, a
tithe of the ruin which Bryan’s vi y
would have entailed. There will been
mediate improvement of business, for the
election of McKinley, or rather the defeat
of Bryan. will restore confidence in the
financial honesty and stability of the
United States. The sound common sense
of the American people has saved the re-
public from worse than civil or foreign
war.” I
The Sun says: “The great republic has
risen ma niflcently to a great occasion. It
is the up ising of almost a united nation,
and the silver craze has been efiectualiy
scotched, if it list not killed. Let McKin-
ley throw his protection overboard and cut
away from the heartless plutocrats who
have for years past made the Republican
party a manufacturers’ annex, and he will;
be acclaimed by one and the republic by
the other.”
The Globe states, “Had. the polling run
close encouragement would have been af—
forded‘to the Democrats to maintain scft'
money and socialism as planks in their
platform."
