indication, however, that there will be
a marked decrease in republican
strength in the United States senate.

mingling with the din of horns and

"Anti-Imperialism, the attempt to utir
up Jealous y againKt Knuland.the charm

to the Fenians, all availed Bryan noth

for Croker and Tammany, and that i

though the Americans are tired a", tbe
gang of corrupt Utah-Americans who
have degraded American politics so
long."
The Times in a apee'.al edition says.
'McKlnley's victory is no ordinary tri
umph. It Is a victory for common hon
esty, sound Sonne and sober, enlight
ened political judgment."
After reference to. Bryan's endea
vors to make imperialism the para
mount Issue, the Time says:
"Free sliver and Its attendant here.
sles are the real matters upon which
electors have given Judgment."
After commenting upon "Bryan's ad
vocacy of unsound principles and un
constitutional methods and his appeals
to class hatred, which stirred the pas
sions of all the worst elements ot the
population," the times expresses tbe
ipfsics ths ffA JHryan been elected.
even all the checks of the constitution

CLAIMS THE LEGISLATURE.
Lincoln, Ueb. 3pecla; Fotowlns are the slate stent of Chairman Ed
miflen and National Commit eemaa Dahlman at Lincoln, given to the
represVnUtlvea of the press:
Chairman Edmlsten "The result on governor and the state ticket
dote. The official returns received In the last few hours, however, show
up much better than did the unofficial figures, and Judging from thefe
we are no longer discouraged. If the same ratio of gala In the official
over the unofficial returns continues, and we have no reason to doubt that
they will. Poynter la certainly elected by between 1.000 and 1,600 plu
rality. The rest of tbe state ticket will pull through by an equal mar
gin, wl;h the exception of Orless for auditor and Oldham for attorney
general, who seem to be running ahead slirhtly, and who may have IaO
majority or even better. -
"The electors are running close to the state ticket, with a scarcely
perceptible unfavorable difference. In the legislature we are absolutely
sure of seventeen members of the renate, and fifty-three members of the
bouse, after conceding the republicans six members in Douglas country,
and they may not get that many."
National Committeeman James C. Dahlman "I am satlsfed that
Governor Poynter will have l.00 plurality and that our entire state tick't
Is elected. The electors are very c'.ofe, with the odds posnibly ellchtly in
favor of McKinley. We have evinteen members of the senate and fifty
three of, the house, sure. I notice," continued Mr. Dahlman, "that Don.
Dickinson of Michigan reyn m can scon be issued. f"r dnun:rats to
ni;et in i'.w Tori; to reorganise? (he party. I want to say that ruth
renegades ts he v. i'l n .t le a:l:w. d to renrgnnlze any democratic party.
The orga.i'zrtion of tiic- d.'mciatic paity will stand in the future Juki
as it does now." ,
CHEER AT FUSION
HEADQUARTERS.
Lincoln, Neb. (Special.) Fus'.onista
it populist headquarters In Lincoln art
feeling more cheerful than they have
it any time since the election. Unoffi
cial returns that came In yesterday
ind this morning were so discouraging
that they indicated the defeat of Gov
ernor Poynter and the state ticket by
tram 300 to vOO majority. ,l!ut official
returns from several counties that have
!een lecelved this afternoon and to
night show an almost uniform gnln for
Poynter and loss for Dietrich over tht
inofflcial returns, it is now believed
3y even the mont conservative mem
bers of Chairman Ed mis ten's staff that
Poynter and the balance of the stnte
ticket urn safely elected, by majorities
raniiiiz from 1,00 to 2.0'MI.
There is grave doubt, however, as to
the electors. While Rdmisten BtMl
:laim that Bryan has carried t!ie atate
hy a small plurality, other oWcers of
:he stale commute are dubious as to
She outcome. It l generally felt that
if the rtryan electors puil through It
sill lie by so narrow a marein that It
will take the offi- lal vote to dedde the
sult. This l not because the ch-ctoru
are running behind ihe state ticket, for
Ihe returns Indicate that they are not.
Bryan Xllt as many votes as he did in
IS90, and seemingly an many or more
than any candidate on the ticket. I Jut
the state ticket runs slightly ahead of
the electors in majorities for the res
ton that Dietrich and the balance of
the republican ticket runs behind the
republican electoral ticket.
ISoth Edmlsten and National Commit
teeman Dahlman claim that the fuxlou
Uts will surely control the legislature
in both branches, with a vote of n In
the senate and ta In the house, giving a
majority of seven on Joint ballot. -
D. E. TiiOmpeon, on the other hand,
claims that the republicans will control
the legislature. In an Interview with
the Wurld-Hcrald Mr. Thompson said:
"We are absolutely sure of a republic
an majority on Joint ballot in tbe legis
lature, We have nineteen members ol
trw senate mi.i Sfty-thrrc xsxbtr l
the house,, and this is claiming onlv
three members from Douglas county.
If we get more than three our majorll)
will be Increased accordingly."
At fusion headquarters Sir. Th imp
son's claims are dismissed with scant
courtesy, and attention Is called to the
fact that two years ago he established
s reputation for making cl;ilm that
Bad no foundation to stand on.

perialism" is the main question to b
voted on, while Chairman llanua and
the republicans ar equally assertive

to be devilled at the polls.
Politicians have Invariably found that
tha people make the lusuea; that Is.
what may interest the voters in One
section of the country has little Interest
for those In another. Parly platforms
may declare any question to be of para
mount interes'., but unless the people
so will the declaration of the platform
carries little weight.

mount issues" In every campaign. since

rights for negroes," and "Th man on
horseback" and "The danger of Imper.

this contest as one of tbe leailing ques
tions, but was not aenerally discussed.
