though each ought to give a republican
majority.
"Dietrich is now l.COO ah ad of Poyn

Tliese counties g.'ve Poynter 90.1Se.
and Dietrich 8V.21K. These si me eoun

MR. BRYAN SAYS
FIGHT IS STILL ON.
Lincoln. Neb. (Special.)-Mr, Bryan
today gave out the following stale
tuent regarding the election:
"The result was a surprise to me.
and the magnitude of the republican
vlrtcry was a surprise to our opponents
as well as to those who supported our
Icket. H is Impossible to analyze tba
ttums until they are more complete,
lut speaking generally, we seem to
;ve. gained In the large citb n and to
iave tost in the smaller cities nml in
he country.
"Ttie republicans were able, to secure
lefcets and passes for ail their votets
.vho were away from Jtome, and this
gave them a considerable advantage.
We have no way of knowing at this
ime how much money was npent In th v
urchase of -cites and cilonlxallon. Kut
,hlle these would account, for mme of
he republican gains, they would not
iccount for the widespread lacreafe In
the - republican vote. The prosperity
rnument was probably the m'sl potent
we uped by the republicans.

Four years ago Mr. Kryan went to
bed and slept quietly and soundly ar,

ror.igbi before 8 oeprk, after first scan
ning the unfavorable curly 'returns from
New York, he peacefully sought hl
bed, and slept most of the time until a
few minutes before II. romlng down
then only to oblige the correspondents
who were anxious to see him before re
tiring for the night. Not a word cr
gerture nor facial expression of the
groat leader of the democratic hosts In
dicated aught of discouragement or
weakness as he stood smiling and good
natured by Mrs. Bryan's side with the
newspapermen crowded ab.mt them.
HOW HB TOOK DEFEAT.
Mr. Itryan brought down stairs with
Mm a bulletin Just re-clvA which told
of his having gained SKi.OOO votes In
Greater New York as compared wl'h
four years ago and n increased vote
In New York ats'e. One of the corre
spondents read the bulletin. There wa
silence fer a moment, theg the reader
commented:
"Welt it's not so bad after all. buj
it's not as good os It sl.i-uld have been."
"No," responded Mr. Brynn with a
gentle smile on his face, which looked
wearied and wotn. "No. It's Wol quite
what we cxpeeted.'' j
That wae all. Not a word or a look
of disappointment, discouragement of1
111 nature, Husband and wife stood
side by ride as the newnpap'-r men
trooped silently through Ihe door.
