Irregularities in Sussex county. Kansas will

North CarolInR's legislature is in doubt

of republicans and Dopulists. Until the legls-
lature actually chooses Senator Prtchard's
successor, it cannot be told whether North
Cardinals new senator will act with the
republican majority and he is not classified
in either the republican or Independent
column, but in the doubtful list. South
Dakota is still in doubt, with the chances

that McKinleys election is victory for
international bimetallism and quotes the
money plank OF the st Louis platform.
Continuing, 1t says:
In these circumstances and in view OF
terndtional bimetallism In the United
States. and the fact that this agitation is
likely TO be maintained and developed, a
genuine and determined effort upon the
part of the noN government may be con-
iidently anticipated TO bring about an in
opening of the minis of the various coun-
tries TO silver as well as TO gold. The re-
cent contest has brought TO the people of
this country the vital Importance of the
monetary question and the grave dangers
which threaten the industrial, commercial
long as 1t is not settled on international
lires. The attitude of this country in
past efforts to arrange a settlement Is
mainly responsible for the attempt just
witnessed to induce the United States to
act alone and for the consequent unrest
cial circles, Therefore It is earnestly
hoped that this country and the other great
powers of Europe viii heartily cooperate
with the United States in its endeaVor
