NO ALLIANCE CONVENTION.
Incorrectly Stated That 1t WOnld be
Held in Scranton.

The following editorial appeared in
recent issue of The Christian Alliance.
religious paper published in New
York by Rev. A. b. Simpson and which
we republish by request:
We announced recently that an alliance
convention would be held at Scranton.
Pa, the last week in August. We desire
to correct this announcement and to say
that no such convention will be held in
connection with the alliance. Our brother.
Rev. James Scovile. of Scranton, has
written to us Withdrawing from the ai-
ance and stating that the work in Scran-
ton will be carried on apart from the al
lance altogether. Mr.. Scovile's reason
for withdraw is that he takes exccp-
tions to the views which the alliance
should maintain toward the evangelical
churches. We have always advised our
alliance friends against taking an an
tagonistic attitude toward the churches.
The position of the alliance is one OF
friendliness and Christian fellowship with
every evangelical branch of the church
Of Christ. This has always been the posi-

papers, haa the following to say along
this line: "However, silver men are
not anarchists, and they believe in
the doctrine of majority rule. They
are firm supporters of existing laws
and institutions, always reserving the
privilege of voting to change those
laws II they believe them wrong. III
Mr.. Mckinley is elected, and If the
financial affairs Of this country are to
be conducted for four years upon a
single gold standard basis, silver men
will accept the decision as final for
four years and work heartily for re-
turn of confidence and revival OF
business. Silver men are patriotic.
They are interested in the prosperity
OF the country, and they will not "sulk
in their tants;" IL Mr.. Mckinley is to

No doubt there viii be squirt of ac-

ing stating that jefferson City had
won 10 st. Louis in the capital re-

Members Of all parties, responsible
business men and all who can get hold
of them are wearing Sedalia buttons
fringed with pieces of crepe and wear

symbol of mourning for Sedalia. The
excitement of the election is totally

BY THE FOREIGN JOURNALS.
Biased Opinions Expressed by the
Press of England.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The daily papers
all continue to discuss editorially and
otherwise the election of the United
States. Many of them print elaborate
tables and explanatory diagrams to il
lustrate the result.
The daily Netos, in commenting up
on Mr.. McKinley's astounding major
ity, says:
"The Democrats in fusing with the
Populists gained a million votes, but
lost a million and half of their OWL
men. It is a severe lesson that the
way to the White House does not lie
through repudiation."
The Standard expresses itself will
ing to believe that money was spent
by wholesale by both sides, but it dis
credits the report that the polls were
tampered with to any great extent.
The Times has an editorial review
ing the election and the campaign
(which" }" says the Times, ''sometimes
reminded onlookers of episodes in the
French revolution. The Mckinley
victory is for the advantage of the
civilized world. 1t will take q long
time and much argument to remove
the impression left by the campaign
that, as far at least as the United
States is concerned, talk about inter.
national bimetallism, covers little elst
than desire to evade the payment o.
just debts and to sell the produce o.
the Nevada mines at more than its
worth"
A special article in the Times on tht
wheat question expresses the opinion
that the price will continue to advance
and advises the English wheat pro
ducers not to play into the traders
hand by overstocking the market.

MAI. McKINLEY'S RESPONSE.
He Extends His Thanks to Mr.: Bryan
for the Latter's Message OF
Congratulation.

LINCOLN, Neb., November 6.-Mr.

reply to his telegram of congratula-
tion to President-electM Mckinley:
"CANToN, o., November 6.-Hon.
VIM. j. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.: I
acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous message of congratulation
with thanks, and beg you will receive
my best wishes for your health and
happiness. WILLIAM MCKINLEY"
Mr.. Bryan has replied to some of
the offers of employment at high sal
aries which he has received since
election, declining them on the ground
that he desires to be free to devote a
large portion of his time in the future
to the advocacy of bimetallism. He
said in reply to questions that he had
not arranged the details of his plans,
but that he would enter upon no line
of work which would interfere with
his main purpose. He has agreed to
address public meeting in Denver
at an early day, but beyond this he
has no engagements for the imme-
diate future.
