DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEEMAN
WOODSON SAYS THE ELEC-
TION WILL BE CONTESTED
SOUTH DAKOTA IS FAVORABLE TO EKINLEY
Returns Indicate a Small Plurality for
the Ohioan-Hanna Indicates an Eff
fort Will Be Made to Unite Gold
Forces in a New Party.

Louisville, KY, Nov. Tonight brings
no material change in the political situa-
tion in Kentucky. The democratic head
quarters give out no detailed figures to
substantiate their claims of carrying the
state for Bryan, while the republican
managers bolster their assertions of sue
cess with tables embOdying the majority
of each candidate in all of the several
counties and districts. A call at demo-
cratic headquarters tonight found a sign
read: "These headquarters closed"
None of the committeeman could be
found for a statement.
The following is from Republican Chair
man Roberts:
Kentucky has gone republican for the
first time in its history in a presidential
year. Complete returns from Ill coun-
ties and reliable unofficial returns from
the other eight counties give Mckinley
456 plurality. Four years ago the state
gave Cleveland 10000 plurality over Har-
rison and gave Weaver, the populist can
didate, 23,500 votes. The fusion of dem
ocrats and populists this year was COM
plete and the victory for Mckinley MEANS
therefore, reversal of GA 900 votes based
on the figures of 1892. Our silver friends
make a great ado over 1000 republican
gain in the Eleventh district, but they see
nothing remarkable in a gain of 1000
democratic plurality in single county
in the First district They also affect sur
prise that the republican state committee
has been sticking to its claim of 400 to
800 plurality for Mckinley in spite of
the discovery Of great errors against Bry-
an in Hardin, Fayette. Galloway and
other counties and say that wherever
Bryan made gain in this way, l sent
cypher dispatch to the Eleventh district
for a corresponding addition to the Nc
Kinley plurality. These territories, which
| the newspapers made much over in each
| succeeding issue, were their own and not
ours and explain how some of the news
papers gave Mckinley anywhere from
1000 to 5000 plurality when the committee
| figures, open to the world, stood between
400 and 900 for three days. The official
count has resulted in occasional changes
from our unofficial figures, but they have
| about balanced each other, and my figures
for Wednesday are practically confirmed
by the official count.
AT this writing our almost complete re-
turns show that the democrats go to the
Eleventh district with 1892 plurality in
their favor and are met there by 14.278
republican plurality. giving a net plurali-
ty of 456 for Mckinley.

GREAT RESULTS LOOKED FOR.
The Effect of McKinley's Election Will
Be Fully Appreciated Soon.

New York, Nov 1.-THE New York FL
nancier says this week:
The statement of the clearing house
bank for the week ending November Z,
covering but five business days, is chiefly
valuable as a record of the furry imme-
diately preceding the election. The state
ment is supposed to include the days of
the week only up to Thursday, and as a
holiday interviewed it is very evident that
the recovery which has taken place since
the election is not shown in the totals.
For instance, it is known that several
millions specie have been redeposited with
banks and the gold is now in the clearing
house vaults. although the statement
shows only a slight expansion in specie.
1t does not seem reasonable, either, in
the face of a rapidly rising and active
stock market, such as marked last week,
to look for shrinkage in loans amount
ing to $4070,7 700. which the statement
shows. The rapid fall in call money and
the competition between banks for COM
mercial offerings since Tuesday is an
other evidence that banks are net decreas-
ing loans and it is still little early to

BRYAN SENDS GREETINGS
To Eastern Bimetallists-He COmmends
Them for Their Creditable Fight.

Lincoln, Neb,,, Nov. 7.-Mr. Bryan to-
day gave out the following telegram ad-
dressed to the eastern bimetallists:
'In the hour of defeat, l send YOU
greeting. No words of praise can suf-
ficiently commend you. When | re-
member that the eastern states sent gold
delegates to both conventions and that
nearly all the eastern papers were
against bimetallism, your fight appears
remarkably creditable. You have shown
yourselves heroes, and events will vindi-
cate the position you have taken. Con-
tinue the fight. w. J. BRYAN"
Mr.. Bryan is receiving numerous tee-
grams and letters in response to his ad-
dress calling upon the advocates of silver
to continue their efforts in behalf of
free silver. assuring him of their con-
currence in this view and of cooperation
in the work. Many of the messages are
from club organizations.

A wonderful change in the business
has taken place in a week. Magical is
the word TO describe the effect of the
election on the general business in
terests of the country. Industries all
over the country that have been idle
for months, and in some cases for
years, have started up or are preparing
to start up, and industries that have
been running with half forces or on
half time have, or soon will employ
their full complement of hands, and
will work on full time.
StOrekeepers whose shelves became
empty through an unwillings to pur.
chase goods until Reputation and
anarchy received their death blow.
will now stock up in order to reap the
benefit Of the active trade that they
know will surely be experienced.
A complete change has come over the
financial, industrial and commercial
sitnation. An era of good times has
dawned.
There was an overwhelming rnsh of
gold into the hanks, perfect ease in the
money market and boom in the mar
ket for stocks and bonds. There was
feeling OF security and of confidence
IN the future, which had not existed in
a long time.
Smyrna times., 1896-11-11

Mr.. EcKLEs, Mr.. Cleveland's Comp
trOller of the United States Treasury,
in speaking of the result of the election
said:
Il think the result is Just what
might have been expected. Whenever
thequestiOn has been put to the voters,
will the American people pay their
debts?" il has always been decided
that they would. We pay our debts.
The nation pays its debts. The i'm
pOrtance Of the result in the business
world is that it means the rehabiliment
Of American credit abroad. That means
that investors are willing to put their
idle capital in our enterprises.
This election means the complete
reorganization of the Democratic
party. For long period of time the
Democracy has been the refuge for
every element of discomfort in the
country. 1t had to be reorganized,
and now is as good as atany other time.
The Democratic politicians will learn
from this election that it is better TO
have business interests with them than
to have the disturbing elements"
Bryan will be unable to keep up
his fight under the benign influences
Of prosperity, and l look to see him
disappear with his doctrines long
before 1900, when the Democratic party.
reOrganized and reunited, will support
Its Old-time principles as they were laid
down IN Indianapolis. a."

Wilmington, to defeat certain candi-

The natural result has been to hatch
out whole brood of contestants the

of Mr.. Handy's seat in Congress and
an Addicks contest for the Sussex can

certain can be substantiated, that Re-
publicans were deceived by the voters
assistant into voting the Higgins ticket
or stamping both tickets, and thrown
out because of said defects. It is be-
heved half the votes cast for Higgins
and Houston were not as intended.
While a large class of Democrats de-
nOunce the attempted steal as revOlu-
tionary and dangerous, the leaders who
are after the offices will make it a sue
cess if possible. If 300 can be thus
thrown out so can 1000 or 1000, and we

The NOn-ElectiOn of Eastern District of

There is naturally a good deal OF
soreness over the inability of voters
of the Eastern District to deposit their
ballots at the late election. A number,
by an arbitrary act had been deprived
of their frachise at previous election,
and on the 3rd all the voters of the
District. In either case it was an
abridgment of the highest right of
citizenship.
Old men who have served in the
office of Inspector two or more times
say it is the duty of this officer to
hold the election, that for the day
his authority is supreme above all
other officers, and if the election is in

fusal to act, he has the power to put in
efficient men who will. In the above
