THE REPUBLICANS WILL
NO! CONTROL IT.
NEED TWO MORE VOTES.
Pops and Independents Will Hold Bal«
ance of Power—Doubt as to the At
titude of Home of the Members
—Probable That a Free Coin
age Rider to a Tariff
Hill Could Not Pass*
Washington, Nov. 9.—The next Sen
ate, it is believed, will stand:
Republicans, 44.
Democrats, 33.
Populists and independents, 13.
This takes all states out of the doubt
ful column, placing Kentucky and
North Carolina in the Republican col
umn, as Senator liutler said to-day
that a free silver Republican would
probably be returned by the fusionists.
Delaware is put in the Democratic
column, and Kansas and South Dakota
in the independent and Populist
column.
This will prevent the Republicans
from taking control of the senate un
less some of those who bolted the Re
publican platform at St. Louis should
return. It is difficult to estimate the
exact standing of the next senate on
the money question, owing to the new
alignment of parties in the recent
campaign. Men who have been pro
nounced silver men have been support
ing the Republican platform and can
didates, and pronounced gold men
have supported the Democratic plat
form and candidates. Perkins of Cali
fornia, Wolcott of Colorado, Shoup
of Idaho, Carter of Montana,
Mitchell of Oregon, Wilson of Wash
ington, and Clark and Warren of Wy
oming have all voted for and sup
ported silver legislation, and what
course thev will now take in the Sen
ate is altogether problematical. Among
the Democrats Gorman of Maryland,
Smith of New Jersey, Murphy of New
York, Faulkner cf West Virginia and
Mitchell of Wisconsin all have voted
against silver, and yet supported the
Democratic party in this campaign.
As no silver bill possible could pass
the House, this fact would influence
voting in the Senate on the silver
question, especially in the shape of a
rider to a tariff bill. The probability
is that on a free coinage amendment
to a tariff bill all of the forty-four Re
publicans would vote against it. and
possibly some Democrats, such as
Caffery of Louisiana, Gray of
Delaware and Lindsay of Ken
tucky, who bolted the Chicago plat
form, and perhaps even some of those
who supported Rryan during the
campaign. It also is not unlikely that
some of the Republican senators who
bolted the Republican platform might
take a position which would permit a
tariff bill in which their constituents
are largely interested, because of wool
and lumber and lead ores, to become a
law.
Senator Faulkner, Democrat, of West
Virginia, said to-day that the silver
men, by standing solidly with the
Democrats, could prevent tariff legis
lation. Senator liutler, on the other
hand, said that he and others of the
Populists would support the right
kind of - a tariff bill, but not a measure
like the McKinley bill. Mr. liutler
wants adequate protection on raw
material.
CARLISLE FOR SENATOR.
Gold Standard Democrats Will Control
the Kentucky Legislature.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—The Times
to-day says: “John G. Carlisle will bo
J. C. S. lilackburn's successor as United
States senator from Kentucky if
he will accept, liy Tuesday’s elec
tion the republican vote in the
legislature became 70 on joint ballot,
which is sufficient to elect, but not a
quorum. Thus the gold standard
Democrats are masters of the situa
tion. in addition one Republican mem
ber of the legislature, who was elected
Tuesday, owes his victory to a pledge
in writing that in consideration of the
support of the gold Democrats he
would vote for Carlisle for Senator.
llryan to Lecture in Denver.
Denver, Col., Nov. 9.—William J.
Rryan is to lecture in Denver before
the end of this month on a date yet to
lie fixed, on "The Centennial State.”
The chamber of commerce is arrang
ing to give a banquet in honor of the
silver champion, who received nearly
nine out of every ten votes cast in Col
orado at the late election, and the peo
ple of the state will join in a great
demonstration to show their admira
tion for their leader. He will proba
bly deliver his lecture also at several
other points in Colorado in the Star
course.
Objector Holman Returned.
Indianapolis, I ml., Nov. 9.—The of
ficial returns show that the Democrats
have elected four out of thirteen mem
bers of Congress. The four are: R.
\V. Myers in the Second district. W. M.
T. Zeener in the Third, William S.
Holman in the Fourth and .lames Rob
inson in the Twelfth. Charles 11. Lan
dis defeats .loseph 15. Cheadle in the
Ninth district by about 200. The ofli
cial eonnt reduces the number of Re
publicans in the Senate to XX and the
number in the House to 52, and makes
the General Assembly :.’U Republican
on joint ballot.
Texas Gives liryan 100.000 Plurality.
Dai.i.As, Tex., Nov. 9.—The state is
for Bryan by l(H).oot). The Democrat
state ticket wins by liO.OOO. Twelve
Democrats and one Republican con
gressmen are elected.
Stephens’ Majority Growing.
St. I.or is. Xov. 9.—There are yet ten
counties in Missouri to hear from, hut
the indications are that Bryan will
have from 00.000 to 05,000 plurality and
Stephens, Democrat, for Governor,
from 45,00*1 to 50,900.
FAILED OF RE-ELECTION
Defeat of Linton in Michigan and Halner
of Nebraska.
Washington, Xov. 9.—The House of
Representatives will lose a good many
interesting figures. Not one of these
was more prominent than William H.
Linton, the acknowledged head of the
American Protective association. He
has been defeated in the Eighth Mich
igan district by Ferdinand D. Brucker
of Saginaw. It is not known whether
it was Mr. Linton's connection with the
A. P. A. which brought about his de
feat or the preponderance of silver sen
timent in his district.
Eugene J. Hainer, another leader of
the forces arrayed against sectarian
appropriations in the House, and said
to be a member of the A. P. A., was de
feated in the Fourth Nebraska district
by Judge W. L. Stark, populist. Next
to Mr. Linton, Mr. Hainer was known
as the leader of that element opposed
to any kind of sectarian appropriation.
The silver men lose Towne, the
young Minnesota Republican, who be
came a national figure by his speeoh in
the house and by his bolt of the St.
Louis convention. ' Mr. Towne still
claims his election, but the chances
are against him.
There will be one colored man in the
next house whose seat will not be
questioned. He is George H. White
of the Second North Carolina district.
George W. Murray, the colored mem
ber from South Carolina, has been de
feated by Colonel Elliott, but will
probably contest the election, as he
did in the present house.
ALL OFFERS DECLINED.
Mr. Bryan Declare* That He Will De
vote Hi* Time to Blmetalism.
Lincoi.n, Neb., Nov. 9.—Mr. Bryan
has replied to all of the offers of em
ployment at high salaries which he has
received since election day, declining
them all. He said in reply to questions
that he had not arranged the details
of his plans, but that he would enter
upon no line of work which would in
terfere with his main purpose. He
has agreed to address a public meeting
in Denver at an early day, but beyond
this has made no engagements for the
Immediate future.
California Returns.
San Francisco, Nov. 9.—Complete
returns from all but 111 precincts in
California give McKinley a majority of
4,548. The missing1 precincts in 1892
gave Harrison 1,501, Cleveland 1,778,
Weaver, 296. The following Congress
men are elected: First district, Bar
ham, Republican; Second, Devreis,
Democrat; Third, Hilborn, Republican;
Fourth, Maguire, Democrat; Fifth,
Loud, Republican; Sixth, Barlow, Pop
ulist; Seventh, Castle, Populist. On
joint ballot in the legislature the Re
publicans will have a majority of 26,
insuring a Republican Senator to suc
ceed Senator Perkins, who is a candi
date for re-election.
The New Royal Academy’s Chief.
London, Nov. 9.—The election of Ed
ward J. Poynter, director of the Na
tional gallery, to the presidency of the
Royal academy, was somewhat of a
surprise to the friends of the other
candidates, especially to the friends of
Val Princeps, who was early in run
ning, and was supposed to be the
Queen's choice. The election of Mr.
Poynter, however, has been well re
ceived by the press and in art circles.
Although he is not a great painter, he
is fully master of those social attain
ments which are necessary.
Mexico Rejoices Over the Result.
City of Mexico, Nov. 9.—No previous
presidential election in the United
States created such interest among all
classes in Mexico. The Mexican Her
ald says: ‘For Mexico the declaration
of the American people in favor of the
gold standard means continued pros
perity here. It signifies large divi
dends for our mills and banks, thus
carrying into effect many large and im
portant undertakings for which capital
would not have been obtained in the
United States had Bryan been elected.”
An Aged Baron’s Love Match.
London, Nov. 9.—Quite a ■ sensation
has been caused by the announcement
of the marriage of Miss Julia Emery, a
pretty girl only 18 years old, and until
quite recently an assistant in a fancy
dry goods store at Eastbourne, to
Baron Ly vent, who is over 73 years old
and a widower, his first wife having
been a daughter of Earl Fitzwilliam.
The baron had no children and his
prospective heirs are all stirred up.
South Dakota Decidedly Close.
Yankton, 8. D., Nov. 9.—With the
state complete except Hamlin and Mc
Pherson counties and three unorganized
counties on the Sioux reservation, Mr.
Bryan has a plurality in South Dakota
of 45. Hamilton and McPherson will
give McKinley a plurality, while the
reservation counties are expected to
go for Bryan. It will take the official
canvass to settle South Dakota’s elec
toral vote.
NEWS IN BRIEF.

McKinley will call an extra session of
Congress.

Washington, Nov. 7.*—A table pre
pared by the Associated Press from
the telegraphic returns up to midnight
shows the election of 201 Republicans
to the next House, 124 Democrats, 19
Populists, fusionists and independents,
a number which perhaps should be
slightly increased, as a few of those
classified as Democrats have independ
ent leanings. Some districts are in
doubt, and no attempt has been made
to include Washington and South Da
kota and three districts in Texas in
the list, owing to the meager and con
flicting returns. Washington has

j ALTGELD’S VIEWS.
, Gives Out a Statement on the Result
of the Election.
Chicago, Nov. G.—Governor Altgeld
p-ave out yesterday a statement ad
dressed to the Democrats of Illinois, in
which he says:
“Although defeated, I desire to
thanlc you fur the loyal support
you have given me, and I con
gratulate you upon the heroic fight
you have just made. Consider that
only six months ago our great party
lay prostrate. It had been betrayed,
into the hands of the stoclr
jobbers and monopolists by Pres
ident Cleveland; it had been
robbed of everything Democratic ex
cept the name; it stood for no great
principle; it was loaded with political
lead heads; yet it cut loose from the
dominion of trusts and syndicates; it
repudiated the men who betrayed it,
tpd again proclaimed Democratic prin
ciples and espoused the cause of toiling
humanity. It was confronted by
; very thing that money could buy, that
boodle could debauch or that fear of
starvation would coerce. It was con
fronted by a combination of forces,
such as had never been united before
*nd could probably never be united
again; and, worse still, the time
was too short to educate the public.
Wh|Je we are defeated, our party
is mjre vigorous and in better condi
tion generally than it has been for a
third of a century. We have dug the
yrayte of the British gold standard.
3ae more campaign of education will
forever bury the palsied form of that
-urse which has blighted prosperity
ind happiness to mankind. We may
fcssume that the coming administration
will be controlled by the men who have
