BRYAN SUMS UP THE RESULTS Former rnnillilntc fur Prrnldeilt riirnlnlien tlie Prenn an i\tenileil Slnlrineiit oil nicctlonn , LINCOLN , Nov. 11. W. J. Bryan this evening gave to the press nn extended ' statement summing up the results of the elections In different states. * In Massachusetts aud Pennsylvania , where ! the democrats reaffirmed the Chicago platform - , form , ho finds they have made gains , while i In New York nnd Now Jersey the rcpuh- 1 llcan vote shows a falling off. Maryland , . he declares , Is now safely democratic. On the Kentucky election he says : "Tho result in Kentucky docs not give any encouragement to the republicans. The latest returns show that the contest between Oocbcl and Taylor Is very close. The dcmi ocrats claim the election of Goebcl and the democratic state ticket by email pluralities , The legislature Is safely democratto In both branches and the election of Blackburn to succeed Lindsay Is assured. No ono who has watched the contest will doubt that with democracy united on national Issue * Kentucky can bo relied upon for a ma jority of 20,000 to 30,000. " Ohio Is summed up as follows : "What consolation can republicans draw from the Ohio election ? Mr. Hanna BO- curcd the nomination of his candidate for governor upon a platform endorsing th ! i republican administration. And while the j j returns Indicate that Nash has a plurality | ot about 60.000 over McLean , McLean nnd Jones together have n majority of something like 50,000 over the republican candidate. McLean ran upon a platform emphatically endorsing the Chicago platform and con- dcmntug the trusts , militarism and Imperial- Iain , and ho made a gallant fight against great odds. Ohio is the hnme of the pres ident. It Is the homo of Mr. Hanna , chair man of the republican national committee. Postmasters all over the United States were urged to contribute money to save Ohio. Mr. Hanna took the stump himself and called upon republicans to support the ticket nnd endorse the policies of the administration. And yet , in spite of all that could be done , Mr. Hanna'a own county was carried by Jones , and the republican party , which had a majority of nearly CO.OOO In 1896. Is now overwhelmed by n majority approximating 50,000. The Jones vote Is anti-republican. Mr. Jones himself has made an open fight against Mr. Hanna and his methods , and the republican party has turned Its batteries against Mr. Jones nnd his followers. " Iowa , South Dakota and Kansas are passed over with a brief paragraph as not of leadIng - Ing Importance. On Nebraska he says : "The Nebraska campaign was fought on national Usucs nnd the fusion candidate for Judge received about 1-4,000 majority , as against 3,000 last year far the fusion can- dldato for governor , and 13,000 for the fusion electors in 1S93 and the fusion can- dldate for judge in 1897. Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn came from Washington to plead with the voters to uphold the pres ident's policy. Senators Thurston and Hayward - ward were on the stump warning the people not to repudiate the president. Senator Fairbanks and other prominent republicans from outside tbo state left their states , notwithstanding the efforts put forth by the republicans the fusion forces trained i. signal victory. Their candidate , Judge Hoi- comb , carried five of tbo congressional dis tricts out of tbo six and left the remaining ( the First ) by only a thousand. " Mr. Bryan continues : "Taken as a whole , the election returns from all the states give encouragement to those who hope for the overthrow ot the republican party In 1900. It Is evident that those who believed In the Chicago platform still believe in It. It is also evident that the hostility to the Chicago platform among these who oppose it Is not as pronounced as It was in 1896. It Is apparent , also , that there Is a growing hostility to the monop olies which have grown up under a repub lican administration. It is safe to say that the American people would by a largo ma jority pronounce against the attempt to ralso the standing army to 100,000 , and It Is equally certain that upon a direct vote upon tbo Issue , a large majority of thu people would pronounce against an im perialistic policy , which would develop hero a colonial system after the pattern of Eu ropean governments. "If the rebuke administered to the repub licans at the polls had been more severe the prospect of remedial legislation at the hands of republicans would be brighter. While it was sufficient to Indicate that the people are not satisfied with the republican policies , It may not have been sufficient to stay the course of the republican party toward plutocracy and toward the European Idea of a government built upon force rather than the consent of the governed a govern ment relying for its safety upon a largo standing army , rather than upon a citizen soldiery.

Up Charges Against One of Olark'a Attorneys , TESTIMONY SHOWS MONEY WAS USED Cnip in Regarded nn Preface to Pro poned Action ( a Have Clnrk' Scat In United Statcn Senate Declared Vacant. ANACONDA' ' , Mont. , Nor. 11. This week the time of the supreme court of Montana ha i been taken up with the hearing of the charges against John B. Wellcooie , ono of \V. A. Clark's attorneys , who was Clark's confidential man during the senatorial elec tion last winter and Is accused of having distributed at that time large sums of money In thci alleged bribery of members of the leglslaturo In the Interest of Clark. The procesi pending In tbo supreme court Is for thn disbarment of Wellcome , Last January , In the joint session of the legislature , $30,000 , chiefly In bills of the denomination of $1,000 , were passed to tbo ' presiding officer's desk. The testimony then taken was that Wellcomo bad given thli money to thrco members of the senate , Whltcsidj , Clark and Myers. These three ' declared that they took the money for the i purpOBo of exposing the bribery. Other mem bers of the leglslaturo were Involved in the . exposuro. The matter passed to a grand ! Jury , which was asked to find that cither ! there was bribery in the interest of Clark j or n conspiracy against him. Tbo grand jury brought in n non-committal report. Son after the leglslaturo adjourned an action waa started In which the supreme court was asked to hear evidence under dis barment proceedings against Wellcome. The preliminaries wore thoroughly argued nt BOV- cral slttlnga ot the supreme court , counsel I for Wellcorao strenuously denying the court's ! jurisdiction. Weeks passed , At length the supiemn court announced that it would try thn Ibsuo nnd the hearing began last Mon day. AVhlteslde testified to having direct re- latlonn with Wellcorao In several transao- tlon.i Involving the purchase of votes. Statn Senator Clark of Madison county testified that on appointment ho was In U'ell- coaio's room at the Helena hotel , that White- H ! < U was also present ; that Wellcomo i I counted out ten $1,000 bills that were put In an envelopa and marked by State Senator ] rmrx wun nis initials aim wnnc&sea by Whltcslda and Wellcomo ; that AV'hltealde proposed that the money thus placed In the envtlopo ba put in Whltcsldo's care , the bargain being that State Senator Clark was to vote for W. A. Clark as long as Wellcomo should rcqulra him to do It. Senator Myers of Rnvalll county testified that the $10,000 In the envelope marked with his Initials , which was aUo deposited with the stale treasurer last winter , was glvon to him , as ho supposed , for the purchase of bla vote for W. A. Clark. Speaker Stiff of Mlssoula county testified that from one of Clark's agents he was urged to accept $10,000 , ho to retire from the spcakcrehlp content and vote for Clark for senator. Th Impression is , under a ruling made today , that the supreme court will conflna thi testimony strictly to the charges that rclatii directly to tha accused , Wellcome , whoso lawyers are making a eturdy defense. Tin hearing will probably consume the con r ! ' tlmo for another week , The case gets its special Interest from the fact that all parties concerned regard it as tliu prefacn to the proposed action to have ) ' W. A.

To break up the present trades union ; to Ctnmp out com pletely the arbitrary power of walking dele gates , arbitrators and professional organ izers and , after this has been accomplished , to invite worklngmcn to form new unions that will co-operate with employers , Is the plan of campaign of Chicago contractors and architects.

This action , It Is expected , will bo followed by other manufacturers of the same commodity , it being avowed openly that the manufacturers wish to break up the union. Several of the manufacturers issued letters to their men setting forth the rea sons that had led to the lockout. In < the letter It Is declared that the action of the company has been foiced by the unjust de mands of the unions made to tbo Sykcs Roofing company.
