Two days after the overwhelming do
font of his candidate had been regls
terod through the ballot box the coun
try Is treated by .Tamea 1C. .Tones , chair
man of the democratic national commit
tec , to a parting manifesto which capi
the climax of demagogy nnd braggatlo
clo , In conceding the election of Wll
Hani McKlnley , the Arkansas awash
buckler exhibits his plantation manner !
by Iniinchlng forth n tirade of abuse
coupled with Ilagraut inlsstateiiients
which the American press Hhould no
permit to pass unrebuketl. lie declares
that the election of William McKlnlej
was brought about by coercion anil In
tlmldatlon on the part of the iiioncj
power , threats of lockouts and dlsmis
sals ami Impending starvation of work
Ingnien , a colossal campaign fund anil
the subornation of a large portion of tin
American press. lie concludes hh
pompoim pronunclamcnto with the premIse <
Iso that the struggle for free silver anil
the uplifting of humanity and the maintenance
tenanco of the dignity of our country
will bo continued until victory perches
upon Its banner.
It Is In accord with the eternal Illness
of things that an ex-slave driver should
prate about uplifting humanity and an
ex-confederate talk about maintaining
the dignity of our country. It Is an In
sult to the Intelligence of the American
people to assert that William McICIn-
ley's election was not a free and fair ex
pression of the popular will.
A glance at the returns will afford
convincing proof that Senator .Tones ha *
no ground whatever for his arraignment ,
The election returns show that Connecti
cut , formerly a democratic state , hat-
given McKlnley10,000 majority. New
Hampshire , a debatable state , gives him
115,000 majority. Massachusetts , whieli
Oeorge Fred Williams promised k
Hryan at Chicago , gives McKlnley l'-0 ! ,
000 majority , and Maine , the home ol
Sewall , is carried for McKlnley b.v
10.000 majority. All these states had
been canvassed by Hryan on his tour ol
"the enemy's country. " No rational
person will contend that these states-
rolled up such enormous majorities bj
reason of coercion , intimidation or ( lit
corupt us" of nrmoy. Everybody know *
that New England worklngmen wen
Impelled to support McKlnley because
they did not. want to depreciate theli
deposits In savings banks , reduce thelt
wages by cheapening the dollar and
especially because they believe In tlui
policy of protection.
Philadelphia , which Is the largest
manufacturing city In America , gave
.McKlnley over 100,000 majority. Will
any rational person contend that these
people were all coerced or bribed ;
Senator .Tone's knows as well as any
body that Pennsylvania was absolutely
sure for McKlnlej' from the outset , be
cause Its i > eople had been taught a
costly lesson by the democratic tariff
law , and that no money was spent on
the national campaign In Pennsylvania ,
which burled free silver under 280,000
majority. What Is true of Pennsylvania
Is equally true of New York , which gave
McKlnley l7ii,000 majority , and to New
Jersey with Its Sil.OOO republican ma
jority , and to Maryland with its 'JO.OOO
republican majority.
It is nn even greater Insult to the
Intelligence of the American people for
Senator Jones to charge subornation
of the larger portion of the American
press. The great newspapers of the
United States have more at stake In the
prosperity of the American people than
any other single Interest. They have
opposed Hryan because they believe
that the free coinage of silver for all the
world would be disastrous to the coun
try , destructive of the nation's credit
and ruinous to all commerce and In
dustry. The great newspapers of the
country who opposed the sectional
crusade for free silver ami revolutionary
appeals to worklngmen have given
Hryan more space and greater publicity
was given to Ids frantic appeals and
those of Jones , Hutler , Faulkner , St. John
and other sllverito campaign shrlekers
than the\v gave to MeKinle-y , Hanna
and the republican cause- . The great
papers were actually Hooded with ISryan
speeches , sliver manifestoes and counter-
manifestoes and this publicity given
free of charge could not have been
bought for millions of dollars.
As to the cry of campaign boodle ,
Senator .lones reminds us of the
ostrich who hides his head In the sand
and Imagines that no one can see him.
Here In Nebraska , where large blocks of
silver were generously supplied by the
Silver trust , the talk of lighting the
battle of downtrodden humanity Is as
grotesque as the charge of coercion ,
which , in Omaha , was practiced ex
clusively by the silver smelting works
managers anil Mr. Hryan's own paper.
The less Jones and Hryan and the other
mourners have to say about coercion ,
bribery and subornation of the press
the better off they will be.
A srillKIXll U1UKVT LKSSUN.
For a month or more before the elec
tion there were withdrawals of gold
from the subtreasurles for the purpose
jf hoarding. On last Monday the snb-
treasury In New York paid out gold for
greenbacks to the amount of ? l'jriO,000 ,
most of the withdrawals being for small
nuns. This showed the anxiety and ap-
irehension of the people , who know that
'old would go to a premium If the sound
money cause were defeated and who
wore therefore desirous of possessing
themselves of as much of the yellow
metal as they could get In exchange for
legal tender notes.
Now the situation is reversed and the
l > eoplo who withdrew gold are anxious
to return It for notes. They prefer the
latter UK being more convenient and
knowing that they will continue to be
is good as gold In their purchasing
liower anil for all the purposes of do
mestic business , they are so eager to get
Ihe paper money that the snbtrensury
ivas compelled to put n restriction oil
the demand , lest It should be suddenly
Ii'alned of small bills. Not only this ,
[ > nt the banks are beginning to pay out
- old when asked for It ami there Is no
i'euNHii why this Hhould not very soon
iccomo general , as It probably will.
Wo commend this to the sober consid
eration of the free silver advocates ant
ask-them whether It la not perfectlj
plain that the success of that causi
would have depleted the treasury 01
gold , driven that money Into hiding
thereby causing a great contraction 01
the currency , and produced a dlsnstroui
tlniinelal disturbance ? Here we have r
practical Illustration of the danger thai
free silver threatened which any one 01
ordinary Intelligence can understand. Ii
the Chicago ticket had won last Tuesdaj
we should now have Ihianclal chaos
with everybody who possessed a green
back or treasury note clamoring to ex
change It for gold. As It Is there Is con
fldeneo and everybody who has a dollar
whether of silver or paper , knows It wll
be as sound a month hence or a yeai
hence as It Is now. The object lessor
should Impress Itself upon every man
whoso mind Is not still clouded by the
free silver delusion.

That Is excellent advice which Majoi
McKlnley gives , that "party dissension ;
should no longer divide or rack the pub
lic mind , nor the steal or temper of either
side deter any citizen from patriotic de
votion to the good of all. " The contest
Is over and the will of the people luu
been declared. There are many who are
dlssatlslled , but no man who has regard
for the welfare of the community In
which he lives and for the country will
seek to perpetuate the dissensions and
the passions engendered In the eain-
palgn. There was probably never before
so much of this In a presidential can
vass , never so much bitterness and Ill-
feeling , but there Is no reason or excuse
for continuing this. No cause can be
helped by It , tint on the contrary mucli
harm may be done. Everybody should
accept the decision of the majority
readily and uncomplainingly , for that li
the duty of the good cltl/.en under oni
form of government.
We have had a long season of depres
sion from which everybody has suffered ,
The beginning of an era of Improved
conditions Is manifest and every one
should heartily contribute what he may
to bring about a restoration of prosper
ity. Surely there has been enough ol
heated political strife for at least four
years and the country needs to settle
down to business and endeavor to repali
the damage that has been done. The ad
monition of Major MeKlnle-y Is as wise
as It Is patriotic.
TIIK AATIttXAl , DKMOCIIATS.
In congratulating the country upon
the outcome of the election , the chair
man of the republican national com
mittee very properly recognized the
service that was rendered to the cause
of sound money by the national demo
crats. It may not be possible to ascer
tain with accuracy how many of these
democrats gave their vote's to the re
publican ticket , but hundreds of thou
sands of them did so and as Mr. Hanna
says , the value of their service's cannot
bo overestimated. State's were saved
to the sound money cause b.v them and
they largely contributed to swell the
popular plurality of the republican can
didates to unprecedented , proportions
The democrats who repudiated the
Chicago platform and at Indianapolis
organized to light It were actuated by
the highest patriotic motives. They
had been lifelong adherents of demo
cratic principles as expounded by the
founders of the party. Thc-y had con
sistently and persistently opposed re
publican doctrines and policies. Hut
when the .national convention of the
democracy turned Its back upon the
traditions of the parly and proposed to
debase the currency , to destroy the
right of private contract and to impair
the authority of the courts and the ex
ecutive department of the government
to enforce the laws , these disciples of
Jefferson anil Jackson saw their plain
duty to be to not only refuse to ac
quiesce In this betrayal of the democ
racy , but to make organized and deter
mined war against it. This men who
participated In tills movement , backed
by fully three hundred of the most in-
lluential democratic newspapers , em
braced the foremost leaders of
democracy. Many of them had won
fame In the service of the country on
battlellelds , In the cabinet and In the
halls of legislation. They gave to the
democracy Ms Intelligence , Its character
iind Its claim to popular conlldence' . Its
victories had been won under their lead
ership. When they saw the old party
dominated by usurpers and uttering
strange and alarming doctrines , sub
versive of everything it had ever taught
nnd stood for , they turned away from
Ihe grotesque and dangerous thing It
liad become and declared Hint every con
sideration of public honor and safety
[ leinandi'd that it bo defeated. That
[ laving been accomplished , none deserve
licm-tlcr praise for the result than thesu
true and patriotic democrats and doubt
less they feel as profoundly gratUlud as
, lo republicans over the outcome.
The question that naturally suggests
Itself Is , What i.s to be the future of
lemocracy ? Will the element which at
Indianapolis proclaimed the "national
lomocratle. " party bo able within the
next four years to reorganize the
lemocracy In accordance with the doc
trines there enunclatedV Unqnestion-
ibly many thousands of democrats sup
ported the Chicago ticket solely on the
; round of regularity who were not In
sympathy with the platform. These
nay reasonably be expected to favor
tarty reorganization on the old lines.
Then there are many democrats who
kvcre attracted to the free silver cans'1
ivho must noon bo persuaded that they
tvere mistaken and these will be dis
posed to again array themselves under
; ho standard of true democracy. Thus
here would seem to be a sulllclent force
o reorganize and rehabilitate the parly ,
'llminatlng from It everything In the
lature of populism and socialism.
.The element that dominated the Chl-
; ago convention , falsely calling Itself
Icmocnitlc , Is doomed to Inevitable < lln-
ntegratlon. The doctrines It enunciated
ivlll never hit accepted by the American
ii'oplo and with the return of prosperity
mndrcds of thousands of those who sup-
mrtcd them will learn to despise them.

Ing the hearts of democrat and republlcar
alike swell with gratitude and throb will ;
exultation over perils passed , over honot
saved , over welfare won. This morning , nol
partisan consideration , but the thrill ol
pride with which wo look back upon the fich !
of the contest Just ended and contemplate
the splendid Impulse with which American
patriotism sprang to the defense of American
honor , nnd , with the force of loyalty assailed
and wrath aroused n force as majestic as II
was resistless swc-pt back and crushed oul
this Impious Invasion , leaving Intact In all
Its noble proportions the temple of our Im
perial republic , above which floats the flap
of an unsullied people , In the unclouded sklea
of liberty and law.
Detroit Free Press ( dem. ) : Never but
once In the history of the republic has there
been so Impressive , so sublime a vindication
of popular government as the country and
the world witnessed yesterday. Had the
doctrines proclaimed nt Chicago and ad
vocated so earnestly and shrewdly all over
the land been adopted as the policy of the
country , the future of the re-puMIc might
well have be-on despaired of. The enemies
of popular government would have been
ovcrjojvd , for the result would have been
the beginning of the fulfillment ol
the prediction that the rule ol
the majority could not be trusted
when HclMutercst should bo appealed to
against the right and the truth. The people
ple have shown , however , most conclusively
that oven tinder such circumstances they
can be trusted ; and that when self-interest
Is weighed in the balance against Integrity
and honor and patriotism It kicks the beam.
Philadelphia Ledger ( rep. ) : It was the
people who won the triumph , and of what
soever party they were , theirs Is the honor
and theirs will bo the reward In the as
surance of national integrity Invincibly es
tablished , the awakening of enterprise , the
revival of Industry , the restoration of public
and private credit upon the enduring , solid
basis of honest , sound money ; the activity
of trade , and the Just profits of capital
and the fair wages of labor. The Intelli
gence and the conscience of the people
have recorded the nation's verdict against
national dishonor , against all the political
and social evils which the victory of Hryan-
Ism would have carried with It. So , today ,
let us all reverently say , as Lowell taught
us to say :
How down , dear land , for thou hast found
release !
Thy God , In these distempered days ,
Hath taught tlico the sure wisdom of
Ills ways ,
And through thlno enemies hath wrought
thy pence !
How down In prayer nnd praise !

Nicola Tesla , the electrician , Is credited
with saying that he believes a man might
llvo 200 years If ho would sleep most of
the time. That Is why negroes often live
to advanced old age because they sleep so
much. He also alluded to the current re
port that Mr. Gladstone now sleeps seven
teen hours every day. 1-Mison recently told
a reporter that ho frequently went for forty-
eight hours without sleep , and sometimes
for seventy. Following such a .period . of
work , he often sleeps for eighteen hours
at a stretch. The celebrated Inventor
smokes enough large , black cigars to break
down an ordinary constitution , but ho seems
to get moro robust of physique as ho grows
older. Ho is within a few months of his
MUi year.
nishop Dudley ( Episcopal ) of Kentucky ,
when he was hunting and fishing recently ,
nade the acquaintance of an old mountain
eer , who took a great fancy to him without
suspecting that he was a bishop. When
.ho bishop was about to go homo he Invited
: he old man to come to Louisville to hear
lira preach. "Preach ? Whut , you preach ?
Ivln you preach cz well cz you kin shoot
in' llsh ? " "Hotter. No Joke. Come Sunday
ivlth your Ijest clothes and I'll give you a
front pew. " The old chap was there , right
up In front , and remained until the bitter
; nd , after which ho hurried forward to
shako the bishop's hand , "Parson , " he
jrled warmly , "I don't know a greal deal
ibout your cre-cds an' dogmatics , but I've
rlz and sot with you every time. "
At a gathering In Now Haven Dr. Watson
Ian Maclarrn ) told a story about his tripe
o the Holy land , to which ho had been
ooklng forward for a number of years with
ilcasurablo anticipation. As ho was nearliiR
he center of historic Palestine he met an
\morican , who was making all haste to get
iway. After a few greetings , such as two
English-speaking men , meeting In a foreign
- ountry , might exchange , the American
isked Dr. Watson where ho was going , "To
lerusalem , " was the reply. "Jerusalem ! "
ixclulmcd the American in tones of ttn-
elgned disgust , "you don't want to go there ,

Why. there isn't a dally newspaper In the

The parliamentary elections In Hungary ,
although not yet completed , have thus far
resulted In the return of so overwhelming
a majority of liberals that the return tc
power of 'the ' party which has done so well
by the kingdom under the leadership of Dr.
Wekerle may bo deemed assured beyond
doubt. The agitation of Count Zlchy for n
repeal of the civil marriage and religious
equality laws has been a dismal failure- ,
BIS has also been the separatist crusade ol
the Kossuthlsts. The outcome of the elec
tions assures the renewal of the compro-
mlsfwof 1S77 with Austria. Indeed , the only
question open to discussion between the
representatives of the two parts of the dual
empire relates to the readjustment , on an
equitable basis , of the proportion of Hit
financial and military contribution to the
common defense to bo borne tiy Hungary
In view of her relative Increase In wealth
nnd population since the original formula
tion of the compact. Nobody but Irreconcil
able Kossuthlst visionaries In Hungary
thinks of separation from Austria , which
would re-duce the kingdom to the rank ol
a second-class power ; and those Impractica
ble dreamers will have only a beggarly and
Impotent representation In the new Parlia

It may bo a bed of roses that has been
provided for Prince Ferdinand of Hulgarla ,
but it is a bed of roses with most of the
thorns left In. Of late he has been making
all sorts of overtures for the good will of
Russia , which do not seem to have been at
tended by much success. Now , It Is reported ,
the cx-olllcers Grucff and Hendereff nnd other
Bulgarian refugees have sent an ultimatum
to htm demanding reinstatement In the
Bulgarian army , and threatening to return
to Sofia , In any event , and face the con
sequences. It Is n matter of common rumor
that the prince promised to do this when
ho wcs In St. Petersburg , and If ho gave any
such pledge , tt Is clear that ho Is now In a
dilemma In which ho has to run the risk ,
on the ono hand , of offending Russia nnd , on
the other of risking a rebellion among the
hitherto loyal ollleers , who would bo out
raged by the forgiveness nnd promotion of
Grueff and the rest. The latest story Is
that the public prosecutor In Sofia has begun
proceedings against Major Stolanoff , the
former commander of the Strouma regiment ,
which assisted In the deposition of Prince
Alexander , for participation In a conspiracy
agalnso the lawful sovereign of the country.
Stolanoff was made foreign minister In the
cabinet of the Metropolitan Clement and
when the counter revolution organized by
Stambulofl proved successful , ho fled , with
others , to Russia. Ho returned , however , at
the time of the Doris enthusiasm , and has
lived unmolested ever since. Upon the Issue
of this action a good deal may depend.
<
The Russo-Danlsh treaty , If It proves
true , explains much In the recent past. For
a number of years It has been clear that
eomo strong motive prevented Danish lib
eral leaders from proceeding to extremities
in their struggle with the king nnd court.
The knowledge of this treaty Is a sufficient
reason. Denmark fears nothing so much as
absorption by Germany. The antipathy to
Germany Is the strongest of Danish senti
ments. The Ill-starred , war of 1SCI left Ihe
bitterest feeling In Denmark. Danish fic
tion , Danish literature and Danish journals
nil nurse the hope of revenge. Russian nb-
sorptlon has been another nightmare , but
sympathy with Franco Is strong and the
prospect of thrashing Germany with thcao
two big partners would bo most attractive
to Danes. For Germany , on the other hand ,
such a treaty would bo little less than a
eall to war , and this Is the strongest reason
for believing It untrue.

Intact the heritage which Jefferson , Jackson

them and their cause the words of Cato
may bo used :
" 'TIs not In mortals to command mircem ,
Hut we'll do moro , Sctnpronlua , we'll deserve - '

No candidates ever deserved bette-r than
these two bravo old inpn , both of whom
