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.

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. Senator Quay does not believe that McKinley will call an extra session of Congress. Two Methodist Episcopal churches at Washington have offered the use of a pew to Mr. McKinley. St. .lohn Hoyle insists that he still is the Republican nominee for United States senator from Keutucky. A Republican national committee man says that McKinley will try to re vise the present currency system. The World says that 100.000 men are now out of work in New York city. Ex-Marshal Frank Thompson killed Stephen Wardweli in self-defense at l’oplar Bluff, Mo. Cy Leland and Governor Morrill of Kansas are being urged for places in McKinley's cabinet. \ Captain Adolph Freitsch has started from Milwaukee to sail around the world in a 15-ton boat. Mr. Bynum says.the gold Democrats j will maintain their organization. Many government contracts that were held up pending the election will ! be awarded. THE NEXT CONGRESS, SOI Republicans, 124 Democrats and 19 Fopulisti Are Elected. 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 probably gone Democratic or inde pendent on congressmen. The list by states is as follows: Alabama—Seven Democrats, one Populist and Independent; Eighth dis trict doubtful.

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 been so prominent in securing this slection. - • UI believe that at the next general slection the people will reverse the verdict of yesterday. The return of prosperity will not come as promised. • it was the great common people of America and not the rich who saved iur institutions in 1861, and it will de volve on the great common people of this country to save free government in 1900 ” Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 6.—Iowa will give McKinley and Hobart a plur ality of at least 65,000, and very prob ibly that conservative figure will be raised to 75,000.
