Issue.
The election on Tuesday resulted in the
choice of enough Republican electors to Sc
cure the election of Mckinley and Hobart
for President and Vice President.
Bryan made noble fight, and the greatest
political campaign ever made by man. He
was opposed by nearly the whole money power
of the country and by foreign money, by nearly
all the banks, railroad companies, manufac-
turers, trusts and combines and by the leading
papers of the East and by number of the
middle West. Many of the heretofore lead
| ing Democrats in many states not only took
the stump for Mckinley, but contributed lib
orally of their means to help along the cause
of the Shylock combine. Here in Maryland
not less than fifteen or twenty thousand of
heretofore Democrats supported Mckinley,
and several thousand wasted their ballots on
] the Indianapolis abortion
Maryland has gone for Mckinley by about
81, 600 plurality, and the Republicans have
elected all of the six Congressman. Every
county i'll the state gave Republican plural
ity except Montgomery, Queen Anne's, Car
oline, Wicomico and Worcester Of these
Queen Annes alone gave anything like an
oldtime majority.
The accurate result of the election will prob
ably not be known for several days yet. The
results so far as known are given in the tables
and reports below.
While BRYAN is defeated the cause of BIZ
metallism remains, and will continue to be
the chief issue in American politics until it
shall prevail. Should Bryan live until 1900
he will undoubtedly be unanimously renomi
mated for the Presidency, and his election will
be accomplished by the greatest popular and
electoral vote ever given candidate for Pres
ident. Already the bimetallsts have lined
up for future contests. and the campaign of
education will go steadily on.
DELAWARE.
Mckinley gets the electoral vote of Della
ware, but the Democrats elect the Governor,
Congressman and both branches of the Legis-
lature. This is a gain of Congressman, and
the Legislature will elect a Democrat TO the
U. S. Senate 10 succeed Higgins, Republican.
NORTH CAROLINA.
RALEIGH, n. c.. Nov. 5.-The Democratic
State Chairman tonight announces officially
that Bryan's plurality in North Carolina is
1900. The Republican State Chairman Off
cially announces that the plurality of Russell,
Rep, for Governor is 1900. There is be-
lief in some quarters that Thomas W. Mason,
DEM, stands some show of being elected

CALIFORNIA,
SAN FRANcIsco, Now 5.-The Chronicle
today says California is safely in the MeKin,
lev column. Bryan showed unexpected
strength in Southern California and reduced
the lead which Mckinley had very materially,
but the loss was more than made up by the
majority returned by Alameda county. Ala
media gave Mckinley majority of over 5000,
| which is 5000 more than it gave Harrison.
The counties of the State so far as heard from
show that Mckinley is leading by 1000, but
as some of the mountain counties are yet to
be heard from it is expected to reduce this to
5000.
KANSAS Cry, KAN, Nov, 5.-Kansas has
without doubt chosen Bryan electors. This
is conceded by Republican State Chairman
Simpson. Populist State Chairman Breiden-
thai claims the State for the fusion State
ticket by 1900, while the Republicans assert
that the majority for the fusionists will be
nearer 5000. The Democrats will mere than
likely have the Legislature, insuring the
election of populist United States Senator TO
succeed William A. PETER.

rangement of the names on the ballot, and
that the Democrats will get two electors.
