Nnw YORK , Dee. II. In his weekly letter ,
on flnnncht topics , Henry Cleivs , the Wall
itrcot export says !
"Tho silver question Is viewed as iwsscss-
Ing an importance perhaps equal to that ot
nil the nbovo mentioned factors combined.
Hut It lias so long been the subject of con
sideration , that financial leaders can Hardly
lie taken by Hiirprlso at whatever may como
I out of It. Tow Wall street-men , perhaps ,
liavo * expected that .anything really Im
portant would result from the International
- conference , cj ; cpta dctn6nstratton that no
sound international settlement of the prob-
leu ) could bo hoped for out of such a conflict of
interested opinion , Such r. failure would of
course be a misfortune of the deepest im
portance ; but thcro is no disposition to re
gard the United States as likely to bo the
luost seriously suffering party in that event.
To Us , the Jlnal abandonment of the hope ,
j'or a prolonged time at least , of establishing
International bimetallism would mean that
wo must but stop tbo addition of silver coiner
, or silver notes to our currency system , if
not that \yo must also got rid of u
jwrllon ofour silver money that , in
short , wo must commence to take steps in
the direction of becoming a gold standard
nation. That does not strike anybody , ex
cept a few ultra silver men , as a very serious
misfortune. 'It might do so if thcro were u'ny
serious doublTabout our being able to conform
our currency arrangements to such a neces
sity with comparative case : But , rightly or
wrongly , not one .financier In ten has any
doubt about our stock of gold sufllcing
to keep" our present holdings of silver
"
money from "depreciation Hi its
home uso. Wo are a larger and richer nation
than'Franco , but our stock of silver Is far
from equalling the French stock. Franco ,
however , has experienced no change in the
current valtio of bor silver , and is not likely
to do so , oven if silver Should fall still lower ;
why should the United States be less secure
in this matter than Franco ? Nor is there
anything to bo apprehended from the popu-
ar bugaboo of "scarcity of money" in case of
our abandoning silver ; for any required sub
stitute for the gradual increase in
the volume of the currency that is
now provided through silver could
bo , with entire safety , provided by
relaxing some of tbo restraints upon the
issue of national bank notes. The assuring
feature In this problem is that within late
months opinion , both public and legislative ,
has undergone such a thorough change that
thcro would bo little dlfllculty in securing
the enactment of these protective measures.
Within the first week of tbo sitting of con
gress one bill has been introduced in the
senate and another in the house , providing
for the early and complete abandonment of
our past silver policy , and the silver faction
now linds fewer influential exponents at
Washington.
"Tho foregoing considerations have a
strong influence in fortifying confidence
against any adverse outcome of the Brussels
conference. Indeed , there arc not a few
capitalists who see a distinctly 'bull'side
to the silver situatlfin. They argue that , as
our credit In Europe lias suffered serious
damage from our silver i > olicy , so our
change favoring the position of a gold
'standard ' country would be followed
by a grcatjind permanent accession of for
elgn Confidence in our investments and a
quick rotrausfcr to Europe of the securities
which have been returned homo under the
apprehensions excited by the Sherman Sil
ver act of IS'JO.
"I have here aimed to present what , as it
appears to mo , Is the preponderate estimate
'of ' Wall street , on the silver problem and
other minor questlbns. To me , the estimate
seems to be , on the whole , a sound and safe
one. It accounts for tbo calm and steady
tone that now provades the market ; and
although it may not foreshadow any spe
cially active movement nor offer any
strong motives for buying on a large
scale , yet it affords no reason for expecting
largo declines or disturbing surprises. A
situation made up of so many unusual factors
and at the stage of an eventful culmination
can hardly fail to produce active transfers of
securities , and so far it is favorable to spec
ulative operations ; but it would be prudent
to restrict operations to buying on the raids ,
which are likely to be of frequent occur
renco. "

BRUSSELS , Dec. 11. At the meeting of UK
monetary conference yesterday Herr Hani
Forscll , one of the Sweden and Norway dele
gates , referring to Congressman McCreary'i
declared preference for a fixed ratio betwcei
gold and silver of 10 to 1 , asked the Amer
leans If they would agree to a ratio of 20 t (
1 , which would bo a nearer- approach to tin
present silver value. Senator Allison repliec
that the Americans would prefer a ratio o
l' < 10 to 1. but if agreeable to tbo Kuropeai
states the Americans might accept a diffcrcn
ratio. For himself , ho thought that silve :
lining states would most logically adopt tin
ratio of 15)ff to 1 , America would accept n <
ratio unless a sufficient number of .govern
inonts entered Into the agreement to make I
effectual.
The United States delegate , H. W. Can
lion , replying to M. Tlorard of the Frencl
delegation , said that he was surprised at tin
attitude of the Latin union , as it was sup
nosed in America that tbo states of tli
Latin union , being the largest silver holders
would bo very friendly to Its use as money
But It appeared that they were not incllnei
to join America In an agreement for its ex
tended use , while Great Britain without ai
important quantity of silver suggested it
purchase for use as money. Despite till
apparent paradoxical state of thing
the Americans still hoped that some
thing would bo accomplished. Ho donle.
that the United States was unduly influence
in her legislation by her silver product. II
thought that thu proposed purchase of 30
000,000 ounces of silver annually by Europe
provided that it was an addition to silvo
now naturally used , might ho a bridge to Jol
thu money metals. America , up to the pro ;
cut time , had had no dlfllculty In malntalr
ing a parity between gold and silver , and It
tended to nmiiilain It. If , however , sllvu
was to bo further dishonored and used th
Bamo as junior money , without regard t
jirlco. America would still bo in an oxcollon
jxisitlon to profit by this state of affairs , a
has been shown In the conference.

The society is in a flourishing condition
and this winter will give a series of semiweekly -
weekly entertainments , including turning ,
mnsicnles and theatricals. Next Sunday
evening it will inaugurate its winter season
with a theatrical entertainment , th plot of
which is laid in Herzcgovania , and the inci
dents of the late rebellion in that country
will bo drawn upon for the subject matter.
The play has been in rehearsal for SOVOIM
wocks and the ladies and gentlemen taking
tbo various roles have perfected themselves
lo a high degree.
"The Midnight Alarm" begun a four-
night's engagement at the Farmim street
theater last night to a house in which
every seat was taken. The play is well
adapted to arouse the average audience ,
being a clover combination ot comedy and
inelo-dramntie situations that inspire laughter -
tor ono moment and the most intense inter
est the next. The lire- scene , which Is always
popular , is introduced in tlio fourth act
and in the third the scene" at the draw
bridge , where n diabolical attempt to wreck
the afternoon express is foiled by the hero
ine , Is intensely thrilling. The comedy Is
bright and sparkling and Is free from timeworn -
worn humor. Will F. Phillips as E. Chip-
plngton Chaser , a bunco stecrer with some
good In him , is a clover and amusing imper
sonation , and Belle Gilbert as Sparkles ,
tlio heroine , is equally pleasing , whether her
lines arc humorous or tragic. The other
characters tire well represented , and alto
gether the entertainment is enjoyable.

I.txcoi.s , Nob. , Dec. 11. [ Special Telegram
n'l'ur. UIB. : ] An analysis ot the vote c.ist
t ttto election in this state on the 3th of last
lonth presents some very Interesting as
roll ns curious features. Tlie most striking
act is the great falling off In the total vote
s comp.ired with the vote of two years ago ,
Naturally It would be expected that the vote
his year , after a presidential campaign ,
i-otild equal , if not exceed , the vote of two
cars ago ; but sueh Is not the ease. Two
oars ago Nebraska passed through one oC
he most exciting campaigns In Its history.
L'ho question of the adoption of prohibition
n the constitution was to be determined
ind , In a campaign which lasted the
treatcr part of six mouths and , in-
Iced , the leaders of the movement to
'astcn prohibition upon the constitution of
.he state had been at work for two years
jvcry voter was made to feet a direct per-
lOtml Interest In the outcome of the election.
Consequently every vote In the state was
lepositcd in the ballot boxes. No one stayed
iway from tlio polls. Tbo business men of
iho state , usually the ones to refrain from
rating , came out on election day almost to a
nan. The result was that about 20,000 votes
ivcro polled two years ago that failed to find
their way into the ballot boxes this1 year.
Even the interest which usually attaches to
i presidential campaign was lacking this
k'ear and the apathy was more noticeable
than in ordinary national contests.
The total vote on governor two years ago
was 210,740 ; this year , 1117,473. In addition
Lo the vote on governor this year there were
nbout 7,000 votes cast for the presidential
electors on the various tickets that were not
cast for any candidates on the state or con
gressional tickets. This fact doubtless ra-
sults , to a largo degree , to the fault of the
ballot law. In spite of the fact that the
law has been tested in two elections , and
that its provisions have been carefully ex
plained , there are doubtless thousands of
voters in Nebraska who yet believe that a
vote marked for the head of the ticket
means a vote for the entire ticket from top
to bottom.
Average Voles Compim-il.
Of the vote on governor two years ago ,
Hiclmrds. republican , received G3S 8 ; Boyd ,
democratic , 71BUPowers ! ; , independent ,
70,187 ; Paine , prohibition , 3,07li.
This year Crounse , republican , received
78,420 ; Morton , democratic , 44,1 % ; Van
Wyck , independent , 08,1117 ; Bcutley , prohibi
tion , 0,23."i. ,
Tbo average republican vote two years
ago was 7,4r ! ! > 0. This year the average was
80,450 , showing an increase ou tbo average
vote ot 7.000 votes.
The average democratic vote two years ago
was 04,013. This year it was 47,201 , showing
ti loss on the average vote of 7,742 votes.
The average independent vote two years
ago was 70fi50. This year it was 02,238 ,
showing a loss on the average vote of 8,312.
It is interesting in .this connection to com
pare the vote received by J. Sterling Morton
this year with the total vote ho received
when ho stood as the democratic candidate
for governor in 1884. Then ho received a
vote of 57,034 out of a total of ia3fi ! > r votes
cast in tbo state , or a fraction over 4 ! ! per
cent of the total voto. This year ho received
44,10. ) out of a total of 197,473 , or a fraction
over 22 per cent of the entire vote.
Soitrc-o of Van AVyck'H Weakness.
Two years ago Powers ' ar'rled forty-three
out of the eighty-nine counties in the stato.
This year Van Wyck carried forty-ono out of
eighty-nine , one county , Kimball , being a tie.
Of tbo counties carried by Powers two years
ago Van Wyck lost Adams , Blalne , Burt ,
Clay , Dawson , Hamilton , Hayes , Johnson
and Merrick. But while ho lost the above
named counties he gained Box Butte , Butler ,
Deuel , Keith , Nemaba and Nuckolls. Van
Wyck ran 1,033 votes behind his party's
average vote of two years ago , but ran 0,270
votes ahead of his party's average this year.
Taking tlio average vote as n basis and charg
ing Van Wyck with tbo loss of 1,033 votes
over two years ago , and crediting him with
the 0,371) ) ho gained this year , it is evident
that he received 4,440 votes from republican
and democratic ; sources this year.
In this connection it may be interesting as
well as profitable to compare tbo pluralities
received by Powers and Van Wyck in the
elections of 1890 and 18 ! , The comparison
as made in the following table is a most
gratifying ono lo republicans as showing Ihc
great falling off in the vote cast by the inde
pendent party :

The llgurcs given ib these tabulated state-
Incuts show an unmistakable loss to the In
dependent party in this stato. The counties
In which Unit party was the strongest two
years ago seem to have turned to the repub
lican column this year. There Is nothing in
the analysis of the election figures , however ,
to warrant a feeling of perfect confidence In
the minds of republicans , The ad vantage
ot the election is certainly with thu republi
can party , but any fatal mistake will lose to
the party whatever ground may have been
gained in the November election.
