President oL' ( he United States by
the largest popular vote ever given

vote in the electoral college will be
th'e largest any candidates have ever-
received. When the electors ine < > t.
3J : : of them will cast their vote f < , r
the Republican candidates and Mo
will lie cast for the Democrats. Th
ligures are the result of the Republi
can electors carrying every one of the
so-called doubtful States , including
West Virginia , the home of Davis.
The States that contributed chiefly
to the success of the Republican can
didate are New York and Indiana.
The former snrps-e ; : 1 all expectations
by rolling up a plurality of more than
lSd.000 for the Republican ticket , and
the latter was kept in the Roosevelt
and Fairbanks column by a plurality
of over HO.OOl ) . In addition to theso
two pivotal States , the ones placed in
the doubtful column by the Demo
cratic managers were Connecticut ,
Delaware. New Jersey , Rhode Island
and West Virginia , all of which went
strongly Republican , with Roosevelt
heading the ticket , as they did four
years ago. when MeKiniey won over
Bryan. Colorado. Idaho and Nevada
also fell into the Republican ranks ,
though they were counted for Bryan
on the anti-imperialism platform o
3900. Even Missouri climbed into the
Republican band wagon.
The States th.it were conceded to
the Republicans , notably Pennsyl
vania. Ohio , Illinois , the Northwest
and New England , in every instance
increased the McKinley plurality from
10.000 to 100.0(10. ( Maryland and Mon
tana also went for Roosevelt. For
Judge Parker only the solid South re
mained absolutely faithful.
Roosevelt carried thirty-three States ;
Parker eleven. Pennsylvania gave
Roosevelt'a plurality of 450,000. Illi
nois came second with 240,000. Ohio
gave him 200,000. California rolled up
a plurality of 10r , > .000 , while Minnesota
trotted along with 123,000 , New Jer
sey with 7. > .000 and Michigan with
164,000. Folk was elected Governor of
Missouri despite the fact that Roose-
yelt carried the State and nearly all
the Republican candidates with him.
The Missouri Legislature will he Re
publican on joint ballot , which will
prevent Senator Coda-ell's return to
the Senate. Colorado gave Roosevelt
15,000 plurality. , but Pea body is de
feated for Governor by 3,000. In Wis
consin , where the La Folleite and
Spooner Republicans have been at
sword's points , Roosevelt won with
75,000 plurality , and La Follette was
elected by . " 0,000. Congressman Bab-
cock , chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Committee , won out with
2S4 votes to spare. Massachusetts
gave Roosevelt 80,279 plurality , but
elected Douglas , the Democratic candi
date for Governor , by .T ,710 plurality.
Full returns from all parts of the
country , with only three congressional
districts missing , show that the House
of Representatives will shape up like
this : Republicans , 244 ; Democrats ,
142 ; Republican oluralitv. 102.

NO THIRD TERM.
President Roosevelt Says He Will Not
Accept Another Nomination.
President Roosevelt will not again be
a candidate. He announced this definite
ly Tuesday night after he knew the peo
ple of the country had overwhelmingly
elected him to the highest office within
their gift. Expressing himself as deeply
sensible of the honor done him. he dic
tated to Secretary Loeb the following
statement :
I am deeply sensible of the honor done
me by the American people in thus express
ing their confidence in what I h.ive done
and have tiled to do. I appreciate to the
full the solemn responsibility tills confi
dence imposes upon : ne. and I shall do all
that in my power lifs not to forfeit it.
On the fourth of March next I shall have
rervod three and a half years , and this
three and a half years constitutes my lirst
term.
The wise custom which limits the Presi
dent to two terms regards the substance
and not the form , and under no circum
stances will I be a candidate for or accept
another nomination.
Illinois.
Theodore Roosevelt has carried the
State of Illinois by an estimated plural
ity of 200,000. lie received 120.000 : :
Cook county and 170,000 in the State.
McKinlcy's plurality in 1)00 ! ) was 94.924.
diaries S. Dcneen i < elected Governor
by a plurality of 225.000. Lie ran a lit
tle behind Roosevelt in Chicago and just
about even in the State. Yates' plural
ity in 1900 was G1.2 : & . The entire Re
publican State ticket is elected , but by
smaller figures than those for President
and Governor.
Ohio.
Ohio has broken her record. Based on
early returns , the State has given 200-
000 plurality to Roosevelt. The highest
previous Republican plurality was 137-
000 in 1S94 on a small vote , while that
ot Tuesday was on a. large vote , greatly
exceeding 1.000,000. Last year the Re
publican plurality for Gov. ITerrick of
llo,000 , the second highest in the history
of the State , was also on a total vote
much less than a million. The largest
plurality Ohio ever gave any President
was CO.OoO. for McKinley four years ago.
lovra.
While the Republican State central
committee claimed Iowa by only 135,000
plurality for Roosevelt , the early returns
indicated that he would not have less
than 150.000. The entire Republican
State ticket is elected by pluralities that
will fall but little below the head of the
ticket. The overwhelming Republican
pluralities break all previous records in
1 o wa.
Wisconsin.
Wisconsin gives Roosevelt upward of
70.000 plurality. The early returns also
indicate that La Follette will carry the
State by 20.000. Complete returns from
thirty out of the seventy-one counties ,
the returns in part estimated , give La
F-oflette pluralities of 17,076 and Peck
pluralities of 9.950.
Indiana.
Indiana , which was supposed to be
doubtful , went Republican by over 50-
000 votes1. The State ticket will be sev
eral thousand behind these figures , but
the Republicans control the State Leg
islature and will elect Republican suc-
cc sors to Senators Fairbanks and Bev-
Massnchusetts. .
The defeat of Gov. John L. Bates for
a third term by William L. Douglas , the
Democratic candidate , and th . - tremen
dous vote cast throughout the State were
the. noteworthy features of the election
in Massachusetts. Mr. Douglas will be
the first Democratic Governor elected
since 1S92.
Michigan.
Roosevelt has broken all records in
Michigan and will have a plurality of
14i,000. : while that of Warner. Republi
can , for Governor , will be 48,000. At
least eleven out of twelve Congressmen
will be Republican.
PARKER FOR CONCORD.
Ivcynotc of Ilin Address to tlic Democ
racy la "Out lojicthcr. "
Judge 1'arker has given to the press
ui' open letter , addressed "to the Dem
ocracy of the nation , " in which he thanks
those in charge of his campaign work
and declares that the people will soon
realise that "the tariff-fell trusts are ab
sorbing the wealth of the nation. " In
his letter Judge Parker says he shall
never . ; g. in seek a nomination for public
c.Tii'ilie discusses the difficulties en
countered by the Democrats in making
their i-auspaign this year and makes sug
gestions rcg.irdiug harmony in the party.
In conclusion the judge says that in
the presence of defeat he does not hesi
tate to say that , in his opinion , the great
moral question that confronts the Demo
crats is , shall the trusts and corporations
be prevented from contributing money to
control or to aid in controlling elections ?
Referring to the Democratic party ,
Judge Parker saysVe must forget the
difficulties of the past. If any one sus
pects his neighbor of treachery let him
not hint of his suspicion. If he knows
he has deserted us let him not tell it.
Our forces have been weakened by di
visions.Ve have quarreled at times over
non-essentials.
"If we would help the people we must
forget the differences of the past and
begin this day to build up wherever it
may be needed a broad and effective or
ganization. And we must by constant
teaching , through the press and from the
platform , apprise the people of the way
the vicious tariff circle works. "
Judge Parker expects to enter a New
York law firm. lie declines to name the
firm , although it is understood that his
arrangements are completed.
W. J. Bryan blames the Democratic
abandonment of radicalism at the St.
Louis convention for the party's over
whelming disaster at the polls. In n
long statement he lashes the conserva
tive rcorg-inizers and proposes planks for
a platform to be used in 190S. lie re
peats Judge Parker's charge that the
trusts contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund in the expectation of receiv
ing immunity from the law.
Inhis proposed platform Mr. Bryan
says "death to private monopoly" should
be the Democratic slogan. His prime
issue is trusts , but he would attack the
tariff and imperialism , strip national
banks of certain powers , restore free sil
ver , levy an income tax , prevent govern
ment by injunction and have the people
elect federal judges. Mr. Bryan wants
to go to work at once to reclaim the
Democratic party to radicalism and says
he will do all he can in the fight.
Mr. Bryan says : "The result was due
to the fact that the Democratic party at
tempted to be conservative in the pres
ence of conditions which demand radical
remedies. It sounded a partial retreat
when it should have ordered a charge
all along the line. "
ARMY IS 72,817 STRONG.
Animal Report of Military Secretary-
Militia Satisfactory.
The annual report of Gen. F. C. Ains-
worth , the military secretary of the
army , the first issued from his oflice
since its creation bj Congress at its last
session , gives the total strength of the
airny at the close of the last fiscal jnr
at oS71 ollicers and GS/J4G enlisted men.
The loss of officers from death , dismissal ,
retirement and other causes was 153.
I he number of enlisted men lost by death
was 4oG.
A reduction in the number of malarial
fever cases at West Point is attributed to
an attack made on the mosquitoes.
Speaking of the militia , it is said that
very satisfactory progress has been made
toward bringing the organized militia , re
specting armament , equipment and dis
cipline , up to the standard of the regu
lar anny. A total of 0,9(50 ( officers and
S'5,102 enlisted men of the militia or
anizations were present at the inspec
tions.
ReferrTr.cr to the act of Congress pro
viding for a roster of officers and enlisted
men of the Union and Confederate ar
mies , the report says that the responses
of the Governors addressed inviting their
co-operation have been such as to assure
the department that they fully appreciate
the importance of the work and will co
operate heartily with the department in
its efforts to give to the Confederate
soldier the place that is due him in tlif
proposed compilation.

Indian Commissioner Jones and the
commission ordered Uy President Roose-
\elt to investigate as to the Lake Mo-
honk resolution , claiming destitution
among the Pima Indians , has found no
truth in the claims , according to a report

It was stated unofficially at the War
Department in Washington that Private

by marrying a negress , will be discharg

WHY SHARKS HAVE GONE.
Hnst River Dcscrtctl by "Tnncatcrs
cause of Itn Condition.
"It has not been a great many years
since I've seen sharks in the East Riv
er , " said the veteran pilot on one oC
the United States revenue cutters tha
other day to a Brooklyn Eagle writer.
"And there were plenty of manenters ,
too. They u > ed to hang around Pulton
market docks , where they would get
plenty to eat in the fish offal that
would be thrown overboard from the
lishiug smacks.
"The reason that shnrlcs are no long
er seen in tbo river and bay is not be
cause of the oceau liners. There's
plenty of room for the shark fiir be
low the point where the ship's bottom
reaches to. But sharks are clean ani
mals. They will touch only those
things that have been freshly killed
or are alive. No shark will touch a
three-days' lloater uudcr any circoin
stances.
"But the sewage mto the hay and
rivers on both sides of Xew York has
made New York's home iv.iters unten
able for fish. There is Tory Irttlo good
fish this sideof Samly Hook , hardly
any at all. in fact , except eels. And
everylKxly knows that eels are the
dirtiest scavengers hi Wie water any
where.
"Up to the time that Miko Dady
went to Havana to start his sewage
system the harbor cf H-.ivana was a
sharks' paradise. When the sewer
pipes began draining into Havana bay
the shark began to clear out. So did
the fishes. In time you won't hear
of a shark in Havana harbor any more
than you ever hear of one this side of
Sandy Hook. The water right around
Manhattan island is pretty filthy. How
people can possibly enjoy swimming in
it Is more than I understand. A mouth
ful of water from the "East or North
river or the hay has more microbes
to the square inch than al ! the Croton
that comes into New York. So you
see the sharks have more sense than
the intelligent landlubbers of Manhat
tan. "
An Honest Opinion.
Mineral , Idaho , Nov. 14. ( Special. )
That a sure cure has been discovered
for those sciatic puins that iniiko so
many lives iniserabfe , is the firm opin
ion of Mr. D. S. Colson , a well-known
resident of this place , and he does not
hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so
firm in his opinion is that he had those
terrible pains and is cured. Speaking
of the matter , he says :
"I am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney PiJIs have done mo lots of
good. I had awful pains in my hip so
I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. I think they '
are a grand medicine. "
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all the
Uric Acid out of the blood. With the
cause removed there can he uo Rheu
matism or Sciatica.
Ohl Marriage Certiilc-ates.
Theorists are to he fouud all over
the world who advocate that no man
or woman shall be allowed to marry
who has not a certificate of freedom
from transmissible disease. Not
even the most extreme , however , would
go so far as a Prussian official in the
town of Rappin , one of whose duties
is to inspect butchers' meat and another
to place the ofllcistl seal on marriage
certificates. The Berlin Lokalanzeiger
states that on one occasion he used the
wrong stamp and instead of sealing
the nuptial contract he certified that
the happy pair were free from trichino
sis. The absurd mistake was not dis
covered until some days had elapsed ,
with the result that the high court
of Berlin has had to be set in motion
to rectify the error.

A curious feature connected with the
Servian army is the manner in which
most of the regiments carry the big
drum. It is not. as in most countries ,
slung in front of the man who plays
it , but is placed upon a small two-
wheeled cart drawn by a single dog.
which has been so trained that it keeps
its place even through the longest and
most tedious of marches. The drum
mer takes up a position behind the cart
and performs on the instrument as tho
animal pulls it along.
