pained one vote from California thiss
election as in IS95 a presidential elector

XNGRESS STRONG REPUBLICAN
The Fifty seventh congress will be
jnore strongly republican than the pre
ceding one According to the returns
at hand the republicans will have a
majority or thirty five in the lower
house while in the Fifty sixth congress
they had but fourteen There Is every
indication however that there will be
a marked decrease in republican
strength in the United States senate
In the Fifty sixth congress the repub
licans had a majority of twenty six In
the Fifty seventh congress the proba
bility is that this majority will be re
duced to about thirteen because some
-of the states in which the republican
presidential ticket was successful elect
ed democratic or fusion legislatures

ENGLAND WELL SATISFIED OVER
RESULT OF AMERICAN ELECTION
London Special The afternoon pa
England with the result of the mrf wy
pers voice the general sentiment oi
England with regard to the result ol
the presidential election in the United
States
Anti imperialism the attempt to stir
up jealousy against Englandthe charm
plonshipof the Boers and the pandering
to the Fenians all availed Bryan noth
ing His defeat is even more a defeat
for Croker and Tammany and that is
its happiest feature It really looks as
though the Americans are tired of the
gang of corrupt Irish Americans who
have degraded American politics so
long
The Times in a special edition sass
McKinleys victory is no ordinary tri
umph It is a victory for common hon
esty sound sense and sober enlight
ened political judgment
After reference to Bryans endea
vors to make imperialism the para
mount issue the Times says
Free silver and it3 attendant here
sies are the real matters upon whicr
electors have given judgment
After commenting upon Bryans ad
vocacy of unsound principles and un
constitutional methods and his appeals
to class hatred whlrh stirred the pas
sions of all the worst elements of the
population the times expresses the
opinion that had Bryan been elected
even all the checks of the constitution
could not have restrained him from ex
periments fatal to social order and ma
terial prosperity and it concludes
From that danger the country is
mercifully delivered certainly fortlu
present and we hope for all time

I predict the formation of a new

may be the new democratic party It
will be made up of persons discontented
with the element in politics as a pro
test against the existing conditions and
the present tendency of things Thd

lieve will defeat the republican party in

aces the republic The concentration of

strict the right of suffrage until cap

the racial question are more apparent
no wthan ever before of getting all we
can and keeping all we get No Anglo-Saxon
race ever won against the
party in power while Involved in war
thought it would be different this
time because of general discontent
The divorcement of the democratic and

party will be the popular one I can
not say whether Mr Bryan will affiliate
with it or not

make any statement even of a conjec

but they serve little purpose after the
election is over
With Mrs Bryan by his side and with
the familiar look of courageous and In

Tonight before 8 oclock after first scan

few minutes before 11 coming down
then only to oblige the correspondents
who were anxious to see- him before re

of his having gained 90000 votes in

in New York state One of the corre
spondents read the bulletin There was
silence for a moment then the reader
commented
Well its not so bad after all but
its notas good as it should have been
No responded Mr Bryan with a
gentle smile on his face which looked
wearied and worn No its not quite
what we expected
That was all Not a word or a look

namely Nebraska and Utah
The legislature of South Dakota will

Mr Bryan on his last tour had wit-
nessed the tremendous ovations ac
corded him and could not conceive of
the possibility of defeat When finally
even the New York World conceded
New York to McKinley Dahlman in
sisted that Bryan could win without
New York and named the states h
could do it with Even when it appear
ed that Ohio and Illinois Tvere seem
ingly hopeless Mr Dahlman still stout
ly contended that Indiana Kentucky

was unflinching It W2s not until late
in the evening that he gave up ami C
then he went all in a heap --
Chicago Special The victory of the
republicans national ticket Is greater
than had been expected by the party
committee Outside of the -south
which is no longer solid only two states
are surely democratic Colorado and
Montana alone are conceded to Bryan
tnese being the two chief silver-producing
states
Colorados majority Is 15OC0 fou
years ago it was cut down to 2500
Montana gives but 20000 to E2900
Idaho and Nevada silver producing
states seem to probably be democratic
but are claimed by the republicans
One of the greatest surprises in Utah
where Bryans majority of 51000 four
years ago has been changed to a re
publican plurality or 3000
i In Illinois alone Is- McKinleys ma
jor lower than fcur years ago
