TEE MCKINLEY BILL AND HIGH TAXES
DOES The WORK.
MCKINLEY DEFEATED.

Mckinley bill, the Lodge Force Bill and
the Speakership of Thomas Reed Of Maine,
all the work of the Republican party, were
to be passed upon by the American people,

history. In no previous election has it
been so generally repudiated by the people
and with such startling changes. The

most general contest, will stand 219 Dem
ocrats to 107 Republicans. Among the
Democrats are classed Farmers ALI
ance members. We give below the result
