At last we have the'ofl‘icial vote. of all the States for President, showing 7,101,- 401 for McKinley and 6,470,656 for Bryan, ‘giving McKinley a plurality ever Bryan and Sewall and Bryan and Watson combined of 630,745, and a ma- jéority of about 350,000 over all. The following is the vote for President in 1896 as compared with the vote of 1892: 1892. 1896. Cleveland. (1 5,556,918 McKinley, r ' 7.101.401 Harmson, r 5,175,108 Bryan. d p 6,470.656 Weaver. pop. 1,041,028 Palmer. 11 d 135.956 Bidwell, pro. 261,133 Levering, pro. 130,560 These tables are an interesting study. It will be seen that Bryan polled nearly one million votes more than Cleveland did four years ago, when Cleveland had a plurality of nearly 400,030 over Har- rison, and when 126,000 Democrats voted for Palmer and Buckner, the sound money Democratic candidates; and McKinley received nearly two million more votes than Harrison re- ceived. It must be remembered, how- ever, that the Populist vote of over a million given to Weaver four years ago, went bodily to Bryan, which gives him _ at once his increase over Cleveland,and it is not dOubted that scores of thous- ands of cheap' money Republicans in the West and South voted for Bryan, while other scores of thousands . of Democrats voted for McKinley. The vote for'McKinley represents a sound money vote throughout,'_as does the vote for Palmer, but it cannot be assumed that the vote for Bryan comes entirely from the voters who favored cheap money. Nearly or quite one- half the Democratic voters for Bryan would have greatly preferred a sound money candidate. They voted for Bryan solely because he was labeled Democratic, and they were unwilling to sacrifice their political prejudice to the extent of voting for McKinley. Take Connecticut as an illustration, where the Democratic State Convention declared unamiously in favor of thor- oughly sound money and the gold stand- ard, and yet Bryan received 96,734 votes at the November election, a large ma- jority of whom would greatly have pre- ferred a sound money candidate and platform. - . It will be seen that the Democrats as organized by the Chicage convention, have absorbed more than a million of distinctive Populists who voted for Weaver four years ago, and it is also notable that the Prohibition vote has largely fallen off. The-single vital is- sue that remains is that of sound money or ‘ cheap money, and the problem of the future in our politics will be the at- titude the Democracy. of the country may assume on the financial issue. . I f the Democratic organization shall continue in its present attitude, repre- senting only cheap money, it must largely lose sound money Democrats who reluctantly adhered to the party in the last contest; and if the issue shall ever be presented again, it is more than probable that the large majority of the Democrats in the great States of the North will desert the party organiza- tion and divide between sound money Democracy and the Republicans. New issues may arise under the new administration to shape the action of the political parties in a diflsrent direc- tion; but t i-day the only question that seems likely to become paramount in the political battles of the next four years is that of maintaining public and private credit. With such an issue the American people, true to their history, that presents an unbroken record of .gfidelity to National honor will surely tustain a monetary system that is ac- cepted by the entire civilized world. 9 Experience is the Only True_Test. F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Of- fice, Salem, Ore., says: “Out of the scores of cough medicines in the market there is only «’One I,have any confidence in and that is Chamberlain’s Congh Remedy. I make this statement after an experience of twelve years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs and colds it is s lendid, but where its work is infallible is With children subject to croup. I keep it in my home at all times.” For sale by E. P. Weed, Druggist, O St. Mary’s church of Derby isito‘ erect a $35,003 rarcchial school. ' .Apdditional Here an’dVTiiere.

It is so long since South Norwalk has been visited by a really good minstrel ‘ troupe that there will. no doubt be a large house at Hoyt’s next Thursday night to welcome Primrose and West, who come with an entirely new bill and a new arrangement of features. The name alone is sufficient to guarantee that the entertainment will be good. *>———————-— The South Dakota Senatorsnrp. HURON, S. D., Jan. 4.—The Populist conference here failed to take any definite action relative to naming a. United States senator. Efforts to harmonize the various factions failed, and each candidate was allowed to take his chances. They come in this order: Kyle, Plowman, Loucks and Goodykoontz. The free silver forces and Democrats decline to go into any caucus, and this further complicates the situation. The Populists cannot elect without help from the Democrats and free ‘silverites. Congressman Pickler’s friends assert that he will be the nominee of the Republican caucus. ‘ Big Cut In Wages. ‘ CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—The Illinois steel company has made a general cut in wages.
