Reasons for Mr.. Bryan's Defeat.

The Atlanta Constitution has collected
from some of the members of the legis-
lature the reasons they give for Mr..
Bryans defeat 1t is an interesting fact
that these reasons differ widely. One
member gives one. reason and another
member another reason. For instance,
Mr. Longley of Troup county thinks the
masses were not thoroughly informed on
the financial question, Mr.. Mullinax of
Pickens attributes the defeat to Cleve-
Iandism. Mr.. Wilcox Of Telfair thinks defeat
was due to the detection of the gold
standard democrats, Mr.. Bates of Muir
ray thinks democratic concessions to the
populists at Chicago had much to do with
the result, Mr.. Slaton of Fulton is of the
opinion that the people want a change
from a democrat to a republican admin
istration Mr.. McGhee of Harris believes
the free use Of money caused Mr.. Bryan's
defeat MIR. Hogan of Lincoln is satisfied
that defeat was caused by permitting Mr.
SewaH to remain on the ticket, Mr.. Faust
of Oglethorpe holds that the result is in
explicable, Mr. Fielder of Fulton says
the result was due to the populists voting
the republican ticket and Mr.. Ellis of
Stuart ascribes the defeat to the intimi-
dalton of voters and the corrupt use of
money.
What a great variety of opinions is here
given! and it is rather remarkable
that no one of them is to the effect that
Mr. Bryan's defeat was due to the
declaration of the democratic party in
favor of free silver coinage and against
the position taken by President Cleve-
land in the Chicago riot And yet the
campaign was conducted mainly on the
silver and law and order issues.
The opinion that the people were not
sufficiently educated on the silver ques-
ton is hardly a sound one from a demo-
cratic standpoint. 1t seems to be pretty
generally admitted that had the election
been held in the latter part of July, in
stead of the first part of November Mr..
Bryan would have been elected. If that
is a correct view the more the people were
educated the less inclined they were to
vote for free silver coinage.
We hardly think the interviewed mem
bers of the legislature had given the sub
ject of their interviews very careful
thought before expressing their opinions
in respect to it. If they had, they would
not have differed so greatly. AS we see
it the people do not want a deprecated
currency, nor do they condemn President
Cleveland for enforcing the United States
laws at Chicago with federal troops.
Hence, they refused to support the party
that stood for these things. They under
stood the issues very well, and the
majority of them voted in accordance
with their convictions.
The result of the election would have
been different if Mr.. Bryan could have
shown that free silver coinage would raise
the price of silver to such an extent that
the silver in a silver dollar would have
the same commercial value as the gold
in gold dollar, but ne did not do that.
He couldn't do it. He dealt in assertions
which did not satisfy the people. Hence,
if the campaign had continued six months
longer Mr.. Bryans defeat would have
been greater than it was.

The Issue Was Sound Money.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem.).

McKlnley's election is not the triumph
of the republican party but of the cause
of sound currency. While every free sill
yer vote in the country that was cast
went for Bryan by no means the full
sound money vote was given to McKin-
ley. The free silver agitators must per-
ceive this; the democratic party cannot
afford to ignore it. 1t will be useless to
continue the demand for the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver at l6 to 1; 1t
would be worse than folly for the democ-
racy to adhere to ii as party issue. Com
mon sense should have it's sway even
with those who honestly believe that the
free coinage of silver would be a great
boon to the country.

Not an Inspired Prophet.
From the Philadelphia Ledger dnd.).

Senator Tillman is quoted as saying In
against plutocracy and the gold standard
will not be abandoned. The present agita-
ton can no more be stopped than was that
which resulted in the emancipation of the
slaves" The election on Tuesday indi-
Gated Enthusiastically that the free coinage
OF silver at 16 to is not desired by the
people of the United States. That much
was settled beyond dispute. There is need
for currency reform, but whatever Is done
will be through the conservative element
in congress, which will have a sound
money majority. The people of this coun-
try do not intend to have their system Of
finance arranged by political agitators.
and the result of the election shows that
there is no fear of such calamity. The
agitators will never be the controlling
force in this country.

the lease and suitcase systems. He is
also to investigate the matter of the i'm

criminals. in which subject he is much
interested. He will visit Atlanta and
other points in Georgia. His visit is well
timed. The Georgia legislators will be
glad to receive suggestions from persons
who make a study of criminology, mas
much as they have before them the ardu-
,us task of reforming the states penal
institutions. 1t is to be hoped that the
Maryland criminologist will be able to
give them valuable information with re-
gard to the care of youthful criminals.

INC old squlre,s schemn.

Old Squire Workem had been going
about for several days buried in deem
thought and having as little as possible to
say says the Detroit Free Press. There
had been no profit in the grains, fruits
or stock that he had raised He could get
nothing out of those who owed him for
they had been squeezed dry. He had
plenty, but it had always been the passion
OF his life to get more. Finally, he sent
for Link Perkins, a shiftless but shiftv
Yankee to whom the squire never smoke
Link, began the squire, do you read
the papers?'
'Jist the sportin' news mostly, sir"
Precisely. Then you know what a conn
is. You must have read how a few fell
lows down in Mexico cleaned up a quarter
Of million, and later how another gang
found $4,000 at Chicago; all by working
this coup business, understand
Yes, l heerd all about 1t. 'Twar slick
business"
well, Link, knowing that you can keen
your mouth shut, / suppose that YOU and
l work a coup. That brown filly of mine
can outrun anything in this part of the
state. They all know her, but l want Won
to disguise her some way take her down
into Hackaway county as a new one and
back her for all the money you can get
against her. I'll furnish the money. but
must not be known in the matter. What
do you think Of it?"
"Thars a fortune in it, squire. We kin
break the Hackaway crowd. an they'll
never know how twar done"
The race came off, and Link had a bar
rel of the squire's money on the Ally that
her owner would not have known. She
started like a shot out of gun, but after
a few jumps bolted for home, took the
fence like a hunted stag, left her rider in
a tamarack swamp, and reached the sta
ton in a broken down condition.
Link never showed up, simply because
he had worked the coup so as to provide
literally for his own future. All the
squire did was to prepare bill for the
next legislature making il a penal offense
to even attempt coup on a race track.

Explanations were given by $500 Nc
Kfnley voters who responded to the postal
card ballot of a Chicago paper of why
they so voted. No less than $500 votes
were given to promote the cause of sound
money, and only 400 to promote the cause
of high tariff, the rest being scattered in
their reasons. 1t was as a sound money
candidate that Mckinley stood before the
voters yesterday, and let not the fact be
ignored by the high tariff element.

Speculation on the cabinet of President

name Of Senator William E. Chandler of
New Hampshire. Not long ago he had

Gold n Drur.

If a month ago anybody had said that
on Nov. 5 gold would be as easy to get
as silver, as a prophet he would have been
put on par with the average weather
forecaster. Yet as, matter of fact, gold

have it don't know exactly what to do
with 1t, There are $50, 10000 to $685. 900

deposit companies, and many millions more

owners of it paid a premium for it when
they thought there was danger of the sue
cess of the free silver movement. That
danger no longer exists, and they would
like to have greenbacks, treasury notes.
or even silver certificates for it, They are
losing the interest on 1t and they want
to get it into circulation as quickly as pos
sble.
The treasury refuses to give gold certifi-
Gates or greenbacks for it and the banks
are so Indifferent in regard to it that they
will make no better offer in respect to it
than TO receive it on deposit, just as they
would paper money or silver.

ly used in the payment of customs dues,
and in that way much of the recently
boarded gold will 90 into the treasury. In

he who led the opposition to the accep-

An illustration Of the beauties of home
rule has just been given in Washington.
The District of Columbia is a very small
factor in this aggregation of great states;
yet it Is powerful enough to defy the fed
eral government itself when the latter
seeks to encroach upon its rights. The
postoffice department wished to string
some overhead telephone wires, for the
use of the government in the transaction
Of its business. Application was made to
the district authorities for permission to
fused. The districts laws provide that
wires shall be buried, and even the execu-
tive department of the United States gov
eminent cannot proceed contrary to those
laws.
