VIII. ... - . . 1 r (I W 1 1 Is Aroused by a Telegram Sent by Mark Banna to Goldbug Headquarters. T riEED THIS STATE YET y AXaol Goldbug Chieftains Oan tioned to "Hold Nebraska's Returns in Line." NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT That the State Has Declared Unmis takably for Bryan and is so Conceded by All. Hold the Return. "The national republican committee lias wired to Nebraska to hold Nebraska returns in line aa it may be needed." The abofe telegram was received at republican state headauarters late yesterday afternoon from Chairman Hanna. Significant isn't it? When the success of Bryan, Holcomb and the entire state ticket with the possible exception of one congressman in the second district has already been conceded by the republican state com mittee,as well as every goldbug paper in the state, and that the majority of Bryan and Holcomb has been safely placed at 10,000 (but in reality will reach a still higher figure) the Hanna ; telegram is interpreted as meaning -nothing more nor less than that if it be yAvecessary to steal the vote of Nebraska to aid McKinley, as it now appears like ly, have the returns so manipulated that the vote can be stolen. , And right here another thought oc ' -curs. If no more reliance can be placed on the claims of the republicans , in .lb OttblturstaTes then at present the indi cations jare strongly : that Mr. Bryan js elected. The , goldbugs now have the extreme nerye to claim the state ot JNebraska. in re sponse to Mark Hanna's telegram, An "error" of 4,000 votes has been dis covered in the Douglas county vote! Think of it! An error of 4,000! If they have nothing more substantial to base their claims of carrying Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and California and Ohio than they have in Nebraska the goldbugs stand a mighty poor chance tol winning on an honest count. ' In order to decide the matter an off! -cial count will be necessary in all those states. . The following dispatch will explain it elf: - , ; '"," Duldth, Minn., Nov. 4. Minnesota in doubt, but cbances favor liryan by a small majority and Lind by somewhat larger. 1 am re-elected. Charles A. Towxe. Grossly Unfair, Chairman Jones of the national demo- atic committee says in a private tele gram that press bulletins of election re turns are grossly unfair. He has hopes of a democratic victory in Michigan and Minnesota, and has assurances from re liable sources that the solid south and west will make the 224 electoral votes for Bryan, 'v Tennessee and North Carolina are con ceded democratic and the result in Ken tucky is very close with ten counties to bear from. 0 In Michigan great democratic gains in legislature are conceded, but the state is still claimed for McKinley. A Conspiracy. Chicago, 111., Nov. 5. Chairman James K. Jones of the democratic national committee this morning furnished the United Associated Presses with the fol lowing statement: - v "There is evidently a conspiracy on the part of our opponents to claim every thing in utter disregard for the facts. They are now claiming Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina and other states from which we have th" most positive private assurances that we have carried each ot them. "So far from having lost any single state upon which we have counted for Mr. Bryan's election, every one has gone for us from which any reliable informa tion has been received. "I have no doubt the others will do likewise, thus insuring Mr. Bryan's elec tion. ; . James K. Jones. - -They Are M Uleadlng. " Chicago, III., Nov. 5. At this hour we are thoroughly convinced of the mislead ing character of early bulletins. The republican committee claims many states that the democratic candidate has carried by a largo majority. They have none of the southern states, with the possible exception of West Virginia. Bryan has positively carried Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Geor gia, .Idaho, Kansas, s Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Caro- North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah Virginia, Washington, Nebraska, Ore gon, Kentucky and Wyoming. We claim Michigan, our returns from the interior counties showing remarkable gains. The state central committee of Indiana sorts that state is safe. We confidently expect all belated returns to add to the figures in our favor. We assert Mr. Bry an's election with confidence. It may be two full days before the result is finally known and admitted by the McKinley advocates. DANIEL J. CAMPAU, Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 5. Kentucky is believed to be democratic Indiana is in doubt. J0HNR. M'LEAN, Cincinnati Enquirer. FEELS Grover Gives Us a New Chapter in His Game of Gold Stand ard Guff. WHILE INVITO TO PRAYER, He Keeps His Eye Glued to the Vicinity of the Bond Deal ing Syndicates. Bears Down Hard on Charity. Inspired by the returns that reached him betokening the election of McKinley and the triumph of Mark Hanna in pur chasing the presidency by the wholesale use of trust and corporation contributed corruption fnnds, bribery, coercion and intimidation, the pious Grover Cleve land yesterday sat down 1n his gilded sanetttia-md addressed the following mockery of a state document to the American people: "The people of the United States should never be unmindful of the grati tude they owe the God of nations for His watchful care which has shielded them from dire disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and happiness, nor should they ever refuse to acknow ledge with contrite hearts their prone- ness to turn away from God's teachings and to follow with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts may be quickened, it is fitting that on a day especially appointed we should join to gether in approaching the throne of grace with praise and supplication. Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,' presi dent of the United States, do hereby des; ignate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of November, to be kept and observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer throughout our land. On that day let every people forego their usual work and occupation and assemble in their accustomed places of worship. Let them, with one accord, render thanks to the Ruler of the uni verse for our preservation as a nation and our deliverance from threatened danger; for the peace that has dwelt in our boundaries; for our defense against disease and pestilence during the year that has passed; for the plenteous re wards that have followed the labors of our husbandmen.and for all the blessings that have been vouchsafed to us. And let us, through the meditation of Him who has taught us how to pray, im plore the forgiveness of our sins and a continuation of heavenly favor. Let us not forget on this day of thanks giving the poor amd needy, and by deeds of charity, let our offerings of praise be made acceptable in tne sight of the Lord. Witness my hand and the seal of the United States, which 1 have caused to have been heretofore affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of November, in the year of onr lord, one thousand, eight hundred and ninety-six, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-first. (Signed.) GROVER CLEVELAND, By the President: RICHARD OLNEY, Secretary of State. STILL IN DOUBT. But Strode Is Probably Elected to Con gress From This District. Returns are slow from thecongress- sional election of Strode. The latter claims his election by about 400. Judge Broady says that he has beard that hie majority in Richardson county was not as large as he had expected at first, and that Otoe county did not give him the party rote. If so. he is nrobablv de- feated. lOOD mm Chairman Jones Concedes ZXcKin ley's Election His Telegram to Mr. Bryan. NOT AT ALL fclSCOUSAGSD Mr. Bryan Says the Fight for il yer Has Just Commenoed " and That the Fight Will be Continued. ; Bryan Congratulates McKinley. j The first information that Senator Jones bad conceded) the election of McKinley was given to Mr. Bryan at 8 o'clock last evening- through United Associated presses bulletin, forwarded from The Journal office. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan ware out walking when the bulletin was re ceived. They had been indoors all day and after supper decided to take a little needed exercise. Just as the clock in this library was striking the hour, husband and wife returned. A. R. Talbot and sett era! newspaper men were in the library at the time. Mr. Bryan read the bulletin without showing any signs of feeling and remarked as he finished, "I'll wait to hear from Senator Jones before saying anything." Then he put on a velvet house jacket and began chatting pleasantly with some personal friends who were waiting him in the parlor. There was nothing of the pathetic in the scene.Mr. Bryan had not clung to the hope held out to him by some of his enthusiastic followers and was prepared for the news. His wife, too, knew that nothing .encouraging was to be expected. Her" natural good nature came to the fore when ahereallzed that the strain was over and she ' laughed and Joked with those about her while Mr. Bryan also chaffed the newspaper men during the wait for the official message! from Senator". Jones', .Half an hour later a telegraph messenger handed a dispatch to the defeated candidate.' It was from Senator Jones. "You may say," said he, turning to the newspaper men after read ing the telegram, - "that the election of McKinley is conceded and I will issue a statement tonight." CONGRATULATES M'KINLET. Then he sat down at the big oak desk, at which he works, and began writing a message of congratulation to his vic torious opponent, Mrs, Bryan leaning over -his shoulder as his pencil went over the paper. This was the message: Hon. William McKinley, Canton, O. Senator Jones has just informed me that the returns indicate your election and I hasten to extend my congratulations. We have submitted the Issues to the American people and their will is law. . t W. J. BRYAN. Mr. Bryan paused once during the writ ing to tell a humorous story apropos of a remark made by one of those about him. When he had finished ha, handed the dis patch to a messenger boy and then told another story. There appeared to be noth ing forced about his pleasant manner. He seemed actually happy that the strain was over. He told the newwaner men in the conversation that ensued that he would prepare a statement to be issued to the blmetallists of the country and would make it public before noon today and not last night as he had previously said. Mr. Bryan said he did not care to say anything about the result of the elec tion last night, but in reference to a ques tion as to whether he thought McKlnley's election was a blow to the cause of bimetallism he responded, "The fight has just commenced." CHICAGO. Nov. 6. Chairman Jones lor- mally conceded the defeat of William J. Bryan tonight, and made his last presi dential campaign statement to the public. The free silver standard was really lowered late last night, so far as the election of 1896 is concerned, when advices were re ceived at headquarters from West Virginia conceding the electoral vote of that state to McKinley. but it was decided not to make a public announcement of the fact until today. 1 In the meantime Governor Stone arrived In Chicago from Missouri in response to Senator Jones' telegram. The national com mitteeman, with the governor and Com mitteeman Campau, were in conference this evening in the senator's room and at Its conclusion the following statement was given to the public: "The result of the presidential election is apparently no longer in doubt. It has been one of the "closest contests that the people have been called on to determine in recent years. We have claimed the election on our advices from states that were admittedly in doubt, in which we knew that there had been many frauds and from which there were evidences of tam pering with the returns. It seems now to be apparent that while Mr. Bryan, after making the most brilliant campaign in the history of our country, has carried most of the states claimed to be doubtful, has not carried enough to secure his suc cess in the electoral College. Bryan elect tors have been chosen in all the states south of the Potomac and Ohio, except West Virginia, and all those west of the Missouri except California and Oregon. He has 190 electoral votes and this number may be increased by final returns from states yet in question. Thus this remarkable campaign closes with the election of William McKinley. The result was brought about by every kind of coercion and intimidation on the part of the money power, including threats of lockouts and dismissals ana impending starvation; by the employment of by far the largest campaign fund ever used In this country and by the subornation of a large number of the American newspapers. The president-elect and his party are un der pledge to the American people to con tinue the gold standard and by its opera tion to restore prosperity to this coun try. As chief executive Mr. McKinley will have the cordial support of the millions of patriotic Americans who have cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan. They bow to the majesty of the office and abide ' by the result with none ot the mutterlngs that would have come from the money power had It been unsuccessful. They are confident that the gold standard cannot give the promised prosperity, but will gladly welcome It if it comes. They will continue the great struggle for the up lifting of humanity and to the maintenance of the dignity of our country in the estab lishment of an American monetary system. And the democratic party, aided by Its present allies will still uplift the bimetal lic standard and bear tt on to victory. JAMES K. JONES, Chairman Demovratlo National Committee. 8enator Jones and his family, excepting his son Klmbrough, will leave for their Arkansas home tomorrow morning, his son remaining to wind up the affairs of the headquarters. Committeemen Johnson, Walsh and Cam pau will depart for their homes by the end ot the week, when there will be nothing left but a memory of both republican and democratic headquarters. . A Sad Accident. John M. "Tipliug, a traveling mania the employ of Hargreaves Bros., was in stantly killed in a collision at Malcolm, about 8 o'clock Monday morning. De ceased lived at Nineteenth and F streets and was one of the best known and most popular men on the road. He was seated in a caboose of a freight train at the time of the aucldentendeavorlng to make two or three points and return to Lin coln in time to vote. K When the news of the accident reached Lincoln the few facts obtainable spread like wildfire about the city, and a few lunatic individuals sought to create a sensation by declaring that the accident occurred on the Bryan special which left Lincoln at 7 o'clock. The minor was quickly run down and another one was started to the effect that the train under command of Mr. Irish the California goldbug democrat who has been selected by the republicans to follow up the Bryan special, was run ning regardless of time and had crashed into a freight which was dead ahead of it at Malcom. 'This appears to have been the case. The Irish, special was in charge ot En gineer H. T. Beatty, who together with his fireman jumped in time to save their lives. It is reported that the train was running at a speed of sixty miles an hour andfdid not stop at Germantown at all but rushed on towards Malcom and it did not even slow up as it went around the curve. - It crashed into a freight which was standing near the depot. . Assistant Superintendent V. O. Eng lish, who was on board the Irislispecial, had his shoulder somewhat dislocated. but aside from this do other accidents 'are reported. . t I he remains of Mr. lipling were brought to Lincoln on the noon train nd conveved to his residence at Nine- fteenth and F. Deceased leaves a wife and two small children. He was a promi nent member ol the Traveling Mens Bryan club and has been a resident of Lincoln for jnany years. Mr. Bryan Acknowledges the Loy alty of Nebraska Friends. NO CAUSE EVER HAD TRUER. A Legislature That Can Prevent In timidation in the s - Future. Cause for Congratulation. Mr. Bryan refused to be interviewed on the general election today saying that it would not be proper for him to express an opinion, but he gave out the follow ing interview on the situation in Ne braska: "The result in Nebraska is very grati fying. We have had great obstacles to overcome, and yet in spite of all these obstacles we have secured a majority of 10,000 or 15,000 for our electoral ticket and have elected the entire state ticket, and also at least four, and possibly five, members of congress out of six, and have elected a good work ing majority in both branches of the legislature." "The democrats, populists and silver republicans have worked together in perfect harmony and they share the victory together. "The gold standard democrats, bp collusion with republican officials. secured place on the ballot as 'democrats,' and deceived a few voters, but the attempted frand was called to the attention of the voters and the evil effects reduced to a minimum. "It is safe to say that almost the entire Palmer vote was cast by mistake, be cause the gold democrats here, as else where, voted almost unanimously for the republican candidate. 'I am prond of Nebraska and grateful to friends in this state for their loyalty. No cause ever had more devoted sup- Corters than the silver cause has in Ne raska. 'Having control of the legislative ma chinery in this state, we shall be able to so reform our ballot law as to prevent the frauds which have been, prepetrated under it, and we shall also be able to secure legislation which will protect the voters from coercion and intimidation. "The people of Nebraska have cause for rejoicing. The good effects of our victory in this etate will be felt for years to come." 01 STATE TICKET ELECTED By Pluralities Banging from 8,000 to 15,000. TWO TEIRD3 OF LEGISLATURE Fotir Congressmen and Nearly all the County OSLcers are ours. " More Than We Expected. The State Journal of 1 -iday morning concedes the state ticket to the populists and democrats in the following language. Republican state headquarters In this city Is no longer thronged by anxious seekers after election news. Returns from the first were discouraging to republicans and with the lapse of time they admit de feat That Bryan and Holcomb had car ried the state was admitted by Chairman Post from the first, but yesterday all hopes ot the election of a single state offi cer was given up by republicans. A few had hoped that at least two state officers might be eleoted. It is now only a question of the sice of the popocratlc fuslonlst majority. Returns complete from sixty-five counties out of ninety give Bryan a plurality of 8,294 and It is believed that It will be 10.000. Fifty four counties give Holcomb a plurality of 10,644 and the popocrats claim he will have at least 16,000 plurality over Mac Coll, the republican candidate. The popo cratlc state committee claims sixty-three out of 100 members of the house of rep resentatives and twenty-three out of thirty-three members of the state senate. The election of two republican congress men, Strode of the First district and Mercer of the Second district Is prac tically settled. Congressman Strode's estimated major ity in Lancaster county is 850, Cass 186, Johnson 136, Pawnee 242, a total of 1,412. Broady has a majority of 321 in Otoe coun ty, 423 in Nemaha, 286 in Richardson, mak ing a total of 1,029. These figures give Strode a majority of 878. Returns on the electoral ticket from the following counties are compared with the vote cast for Holcomb and Majors in 1S94.
