VIII Not Reopen the Bank.

BLUE SPRINGS, Neb, Feb. 22.-(Specal) }
The Blue Springs bank will not be re-
organized, but will pass into receivers
hands for liquidation and the $4,000 Of de-
posits which repre- cents the hard eained money
of about 800 persons, is lost. j. c. Will
liams, who has been running the bank for
fifteen years, returned recently from a ten
days visit to Illinois. where he was sup
posed to be raising money to make good some
portion of the missing funds and reported
that he could not raise the amount and all
that now remains to be done Is to gather up
the remnants. 1t is probable that there
will be enough realized from the assets
to pay money collected and kept and posi-
bly, some Of he protested drafts. About
all the rest will be consumed in costs of
litigation, salary Of receiver and other ex-
penses. At meeting Of the creditors last
night S. M. Hazen, an old citizen, who has
been in business here for twenty-five years,
was selected for receiver and a committee
appointed to circulate his petition and pre-
sent same to the district court Monday.

SOUTH DAKOTA.

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 5.-Both Demo
Gratis. and Republicans are much excited
tonight over the closeness of the returns,
and charges and counter charges of fraud
are freely made. At Fort Pierre num-
Der of arrests were made this afternoon
for illegal voting and twenty more will
follow tomorrow. The situation is one OF
extreme tension. 1t is now conceded by
both sides that whichever way the cleo
tion goes the plurality will not be over 600
or 700. The Republicans are gaining
slightly, and assurances are repeated that
Mckinley will get the State by a small
majority. The Legislature will be Popu-
list by twelve TO fifteen. The returns are
not yet in from fifteen counties. McKin-
ley has lead of $50. Popuiist Chairman
Boules claims the State for Bryan by 500.
Republican Chairman Elliott claims it for
Mckinley by 7O0.
Snowstorms in the western part of the
State make reports slow. The railroad
and mining vote went solidly for Bryan.
Congress man Picker announces his
withdrawal from the S material contest.
Congressman Gam BILE thinks he is elected.
Senator Pettigrew has advised Populists
through the State that the State is theirs
and that the Republicans will attempt to
steal it.

TENNESSEE.

MEMPHIS, TENN. Nov. 8.-Each side
is waiting for the other TO make returns
from Tuesdays election. The margin be-
tween the two parties in the guberna-
material race is certainly very close and
both are thus far warranted in adhering
to the claim of victory on the State ticket.
The missing Democratic counties are in
West Tennessee, the Republicans in the
eastern division, and both are more or
less inaccessible 30 far as communication
facilities are concerned. One third of the
counties are still out, and they are about
equally divided in the majority of their
resp cttve sides. Owing to peculiar n
ditions estimates are unreliable, and the
only thing to do is to wait for the actual
Fl ures.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the returns in
give the Repu ublicans a lead of about 5000.
Democratic managers claim the State by
10000.
Reliable returns (officiaD and reports
received by the Nashville Sun from eighty
nine out of ninety-six counties in Ten
nessee, with conservative estimates on re-
naming counties, give Taylor (D.) for
Governor 1890 majority over TilIman (R.).
The Bryan ticket will lead the State Demo-
cratic ticket by from 5000 to 10 900.

NORTH CAROLINA.

RALEIGH, n. c., Nov. 5.-Bryan car
ries North Carolina by Is, 900, is the official
statement N ade at Democratic State head
quarters. The Repu blican State chairman
comedies his victory, but declares his ma
jority is only 5000. The Republican State
chairman announces the following as Con-
gressional majorities: Skinner P. 1000,
White (colored) r. 5000. Fowler P. 25O0,
Stoud ?. 300. Kitchen d, $40, Martin P
nearly 1000. Shuford ?. 400. Linhe r. 26OO
Pearson 4. 400. He also says that Rus
sell, r., is elected Governor by 1900
plurality.
Republican Chairman Holton said at
11:30 o'clock: Il concede that Bryan gets
IL 900 majority in North Carolina. We
lack only about eleven of having enough
mbers of the Legislature to elect Sem
ator on a straight fight. The Populists
will cooperate with US to elect Republi-
can Senator"
A Republican committeeman SAYS the
Republicans have endeavored to aid in
the election of PopulIsts friendly to the
reelection o! Senator Pritchard. 1t ap-
pears that the latter will be elected,
though the Populists really hold the bal
ance of power and can name the Senator
if they should desire to do so. A Populist
State committeeman says the Populists
will nominate a silver man for Senator
The Democratic estimate of the Legisla-
ture is 81 Republicans, AZ Populists and A
Democrats, with Is seats in doubt. Most
of the latter, it is thought will be either
Populist or Republican.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-06

following statement regarding the result
of the election:
"The Democrats who voted for Bryan
at this election did so with the knowledge
that he accepted the Populist platform OF
1892, as well as their platform adopted in
st. Louis in 1896. The National DenIoc-
racy will never seek an alliance with the
Populists. I predict that Mr.. Bryan, who
voted for Weaver in 1892. will soon aban-
don the Democratic name. His candi-
dacy, which was an example of unreason-
ing socialism, was exploded by the cleo
tion of Mckinley at the late election. The
issues of the canvass were dictated to the
Chicago convention by a combination Of
politicians who were without principle
and only sought success.
Bryan, thanks to the good sense and
integrity of the American people, is de-
feated. Democrats know that protection,
as the Republicans calls it, is a fallacy,
but they also know that the unlimited
coinage of silver on the ratio of 16 to will
deprave the American monetary system
and produce infinite mischief. They have
accepted the lesser of the two evils. 1 ap-
prove Of their conduct, and thank the
Democrats who have voted against Bryan
and Altgeld, who are the representatives
of a deprayed currency and social dis
order"

OHIO.

COLUMBUS, OHIO. NoY. 5.-The cleo
tion in this Congressional district, the
Twelfth, is very close and will probably
result In a contest in the House. The
official returns give Lentz D. 81 plurality,
but mistakes involving more than that
mum ber OF votes have been discovered here
and IN Fairfield County, which are being
closely pressed by the candidates attor-
neys as ground for throwing out precincts.
Brenner D. has plurality OF 120 by the
unofficial returns in the Third District.
a contest may result there. The Demo-
Gratis have carried four districts beyond
question, VIZ, the Fourth, Fifth, Thir-
teenth and Seventeenth. The Republi-
cans have the other fifteen districts.

ing administration are known quantities,
and there is general confidence that their
attitude to the rest of the world will not
essentially diverge from the long estab-
lished course of those who have been most
prominent in McKinley's support, and
who are therefore relied upon 20 be his
closest advisers.
The most marked departure anticipated
from President Cieveland's external pol
icy relates to Hawaii. prompt return
to President Harrison's plan of annexa-
tlon is expected in accord with mis- treaty,
which President Clevelands first official
action alter Inauguration was to withdraw
from the Senate four years ago.
Not the slightest doubt exists that the
next Secretary of State will be in complete
harmony with President Harrison in this
matter, as Mckinley was well known to
have been. The only other reversal of
policy looked for is that which must re-
suit from the customs tariff revision de-
manded by the operative necessity of in
creasing the revenue Immediately after
the 4th of March.
The reciprocity arrangements abrogated
without warning by the Wilson German
bill are regarded as sure of resUscitation
at the earliest possible moment, and it is
not thought now change in sugar duties
in accordance with Mr.. McKinley's we'll
known views could be affected without
sweeping away the friction existing be-
tween this country and Germany, Austria
and other beet sugar exporting countries,
growing out of the unequal bounty sys-
TENS and discrl mating duties.
In the Turkish and Cuban affairs no
change whatever is likely to occur. The
issues involved in Turkey have been prac-
tically unaltered for thirty years and all
precedents now being followed are those
of McKinley's long line of predecessors.
Should the Cuban com plication continue
until March it is well understood that the
United States will preserve its strict neu-
trality, as was done when Grant was in the
White House.
The first practical step in the Vene-
zuelan controversy having already been
accom- plished there would be no wonder if
it were entirely settled at anv moment as
far as diplomacy goes. This was the sim
gle great advance of the present admins
tration after many fruitless efforts and Its
successor may have only to insist upon
the execution OF an exhaustive agreement
for arbitration.

and Congressman. but there is every indi-
cation that the Republicans Will have both
the Senate and House by small majority.
In the Senate the Republicans have elected
all but few Senators who hold over.
Friends of Senator Hansbrough claim he
has majority of the Republicans thus
far known to be elected. In the three dis
tricts of Grand Forks County all the Re-
publican Legislative nominees were Hans
brough men, and two are elected.
Johnson for Congress is running behind
the Repu blican ticket. The fusionists
claim Johnson's defeat by Burke, and
there is some betting on the result. Re-
ports from Grand Forks, Burleigh. Traille.
Morton and Lamoure counties show that
the entire Republican Legislative ticket is
elected. Mckinley has now $500 majority.

WYOMING.

r CHEYENNE, WYo., Nov. 5.-At IL
O'Clock returns from all but 46 precincts
in Wyoming give pluralities OF $50 Tor one
of the Mckinley ell ctors and 132 for each
of the other two. OF the 66 precincts TO
hear from 13 are usually Democratic and
So Republican.
The Republican State COMMITTEES esti-
mates the plurality for its electoral, Con-
gressional and State ticket when iulI re-
turns are in will be 500. The returns
received to the present time show that the
Republicans have carried seven counties
in the State and the Democrats fl e. The
Republicans will control both branches OF
t State Legislature, with 10 Democrats
and SO Republicans on joint ballot.

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 5.-Indi-
ana complete, with the returns of thirty
six counties taken from the official count
and the rest unofficial, gives the State to
Mckinley by % las. The Republican
State ticket has run within about 1000 of
this. The results as wired in give only
piuralities and do not mention the Palmer
vote, but it is.not thought it will run over
5000 ? The official count gives the Ninth
District to Lands R., over Cheadle Pop,
by 90. This makes the delegation stand
four Democrats and nine Republicans.
The Republicans have a majority of 20 in
the Senate and in the House.

FAULKNER'S LAST VAIL.
Follows Senator Jones in Giving
Up the Ghost.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 5.-Chair-
man Faulkner of the Democratic Con-
gressional committee tonight gave out
the following: Chairman Jones informed
me that he will concede the election of
Mckinley.
The confidence which Senator Jones has
inspired and the manner in which he has
conducted the campaign will warrant me
in saying that none will question the pro.
p-iety of his acting promptly in so grave
a matter when once he had become thor
oughly satisfied from the returns in his
possession that there remains no further
hope for the success of the magnificent
leader whose plume has been seen in
the front of the line of battle in
thirty States and whose eloquent voice in
behalf OF the peoples cause has inspired
millions OF his fellow-citizens to strain
every effort within the lines of legitimate
controversy to secure a victory which
would relieve them from the merciless
exactions of a continued contracting cur.

KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.-Both sides
continue to claim Kentucky; the Repub-
hcans give figures, but Secretary Richard
son of the Democratic committee declines
to give out any information in the posses
sion of his committee, except to make the
statement that Bryan has carried the
State. Chairman Roberts of the Repub-
lican committee said at s o. clock to- ght:
mckinley has carried Kentucky by at
least 800, and they cannot count us out.
We depend on the Eleventh District to
overcome the plurality in eight districts.
We expect at least $4,000 plurality in the
Eleventh. This will give US 400 plurality
in the State. and 1 expect it to go to 600.
The Democratic pluralities from Western
Kentucky are almost exactly the same as
Chairman Sommers' estimates. and this
looks as if his managers there gave him
just what he asked for.''
In a telegram to Canton Mr.. Roberts
said:
Democrats are howlilg that we are
counting them out in the mountains.
This is to hide the absurdly large Bryan
maiorities in Owen, Graves, Union and
dozen other counties"
The Evening Times gives the State to
Mckinley by AIS plurality. 1t will take
the official count to decide the result.
Information was given out at Repubii-
can headquarters that Colonel w. C. P.
Breckenridge will certainly contest the
election of Evan Settle, free-silver Demo-
crat, as Congressman from the Seventh
District on the ground of fraud. Colonel
Breckenridge has sent two attorneys to
Owen County to witness the official
count.
The fight for Kentucky's electoral vote
grows warmer every minute. The Demo-
Gratis are trying to throw out two large
Republican precincts iu Christian and
McCracken counties on the ground OF
irr guarities in registration.
LEXINGTON,K KY, Nov. 5.-The chances
are that there Will be contest over the
Seventh District, where Colonel Breckin-
ridge was defeated. Many lawyers are of
the opinion that holding primaries for
county officers to be elected a year hence
in Owen County on the same day that the
general election was held (Tuesday)
clearly inyalidates the vote of Owen
County. and it may be asked that the
county's vote be thrown out. This will be
in Breckinridge's favor.
(, 1t develops that no election officers were
appointed in Breathitt County until on
the morning of the election, and that
only silver men were put in. The Demo
cratic majority is $50 more than ever be-
fore, when the neighboring counties
showed smaller majorities. In Owen
County a primary election was held for
county officers in violation of the law
The throwing out of these two counties
would make McKinley's majority 1000.

expected. Her natural good nature came
to the fore when she realized that the
strain was over and she laughed and loked
with those about her while Mr.. Bryan also
chaffed the newspaper men during the
wait Tor the official message from Senator
Jones' Half an hour later telegraph
messenger handed a dispatch to the de-
feated candidate.
"You may say" said he, turning to the
newspaper men after reading the telegram,
''that the election of Mckinley is con-
ceded, and l will issue a statement to-
night"
Then he sat down at the big oak desk at
which he works and began writing mes
sage of congratulation to his victorious
opponent, Mrs. Bryan leaning over his
shoulder as his pencil went over the paper.
This was the message:
Hon. Wittiam Mckinley, Canton, Ohio: Senator
Jones has just Informed me that the returns
indicate your election, and hasten to extend
my congratulations. We have submitted the
issues to the American pc ople and their will
is law. WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.
Mr.. BRYAN paused once during the
writing to tell humorous story apropos
of remark made by one of those about
him. When he had finished, he handed
the dispatch to a messenger. Mr.. Bryan
then told another story. There appeared
to be nothing forced about the pleasant
manner of the young political leader. He
seemed actually happy that the strain was
over. He told the representative of the
United Associated Presses in the CONVEX
sation that ensued that tonight he would
prepare q statement to be issued to the
bimetalIists of the country, and would
make it public before noon tomorrow,
and not this evening, as he had previously
said.
Mr.. Bryan said he did not care to say
anything about the result sof the election
tonight, but in response to question as
TO whether he thought McKinley's election
was blow to the cause of bimetallism, he
responded: "The fight has just CON-
menced."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. 5.-The
News says editorialiy: The Chicago As
sociattd Press is either dishonest or is
controlled by an iridescent dreamer who
thinks dishonest election returns can be
paimed off upon honest and honorable
newspapers. The utter worthlessness of
the Chicago Associated Press was never
more clearly demonstrated than it was by
its bogus election bulletins. in which it
stirred up a coniding public. 1t at
tempted to hoodoo the News with it's
bosh, but the News telegraph editor saw
the little game and consigned the "spe-
ciaP' to the waste basket. The United
Associated Presses furni he'd the only re.
liable report received in Springfield. The
News is prouier to-day of the United AS
sociated Presses than YER.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 5.-The
Sun, under the caption "Cruel Fakes"
editorlally says to-day: The bulletins
posted yesterday afternoon by the Sentinel
and News were fakes, no matter if they
were furnished by the notorious Chicago
Associated Press. These bulletins con-
veyed the impression 10 the public that
Bryan might be elected. The result was
the widest excitement through the city
and great damage to business. The only
unreliable and unwarranted bulletins iu-
duced men to wager their money on the
result and those who bet on Bryan, and
there were many of them, if all reports
are true, lost heavily.
At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon enough
was known OF the electoral vote to war
rant the positive announce ment that
Bryan had been defeated. These facts
the Sun, with the aid of the alwaysac-
curate and reliable reports of the United
Associated Presses, was able to publish in
its columns and also announce through
its bulletins. In the future the public
will no doubt view with mistrust the an
nouncements of these papers and their
unreliable news service and naturally
turn to the Sun and the United Associated
Presses, both of which are honest enough
to deal only in facts.
