go voters. Our facilities for receiving
election returns are equal to any. We
know from private advices and returns up
to date tina, Mckinley is lot elected. On
the other hand, latest returns justify our
claim that Mr., Bryan is elected. 1t is one
of the peculiariaties of Republican enter
sight a few hours after election. In 1876
as we'll as in 1884 it was not known for
three @. four days which candidate had
won. Although early returns indicated
Republican success, Democratic followed.
Again, four years ago, early returns favor
ed Itarrison's election while subsequent
ones elected Cleveland. This year early
returns favored Mckinley because they
come from Eastern and Middle States and
from the cities of other States, while re-
turns from the South and West were
with held so as to stampede public senti
ment that Mckinley was elected, whether
he was or not. and thus create sentiment
in advance which would operate to his ad
vantage in case the election was contested,
while on the other hand. had the first re-
turns announced Bryan's success and a
contest resulted, there would be an up
rising of the people through fear of a re-
petition of the Tilden episode. We have
positive evidence that the Republican
National Committee has wired their State
committees to claim certain States which
are in doubt, fearing that subsequent re-
turns might indicate Bryan's election.
We shall soon vigorously press the ques-
ton, viz, if it is not for the purpose of
manipulating them why are they held
back. We want American people to be
patient and calm and to wait for the off,
cial returns and pay no attention to false
reports sent out by manipulating commit
tees. We feel justified in assuring the
people that if Bryan is elected he will be
seated. The will of the people will never
9gain be defeated through the manipula.
