McKINLEY'S MESSAGE.

Victory Of the People In ignoring
Party Lines.
CANTON, OHIO, Nov. .5.-McKinley to-
night sent the following telegram to Mr.
Hanna in New York:
CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 5.
Hon. NJ. a. Hanna, Waldorf Hotel, Ne1D York:
Your telegraphic message announcing the re-
suit of the election has been received. beg
you to accept my hearty thanks for your great
services in the cause OF sound money and pro-
lection throughout the campaign now closed
and gloriously won. They were most generous
and effective, and will receive the warm ap-
probation of your countrymen everywhere. 1
viii be pleased to have you convey TO your
associates of the National Committe my high
appreciation of their efficient services. The
people in their majesty, ignoring party lines,
have declared their detestation of reputation
and dishonor in whatever specious guise they
may be presented.
They have with the same mighty power
affirmed their devotion to law and order and
their undying respect for justice and the
courts They have main tanned their unfalter-
ing determination to support and uphold the
constituted authorities of the country and
have thereby given vigor and strength to our
free institutions. They have indeed again
consecrated themselves to country and bap-
tized the cherished ordinances OF free govern
ment with q new and holy patriotism. The
victory is not to party or to section, but of
and for the whole American people. Not the
least of the triumphs of the election is the
obliteration of sectional lines of the Republic
We have demonstrated to the world that we
are reunited people in purpose as In name
We have manifested in the great cause the
spirit of fraternity and brotherhood that shall
always characterize our common and equal
citizenship, and have proven conclusively
that in a country of equal privileges and
equal opportunities the insidious doctrine OF
hate or of class or sectional distinctions can
not prevail. Let us as Americans straight
way devote ourselves to the upbuilding of
America; to the peace, honor and glory of our
common country. Party dissensions should
no longer divide or rack the public mind, nor
the zeal or temper of either side deter any
citizen from patriotic devotion to the good of
all. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

CARLISLE FOR SENATOR
Being Pushed as Successor to Joe
Blackburn.

H.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov 5.-Carlisle is
being pushed for United States Senator
despite the fact that the Republicans have
seventy votes, or enough to elect on joint
ballot in the Legislature.
The Evening Times says: We would
not be surprised if when Joe Blackburn
vacates his seat in the Srnate on the Sd of
next March, John Carlisle shall step in on
the 4th and fill ii as it has not been filled
since the mortal Clay put on Immortality.
1t is in the cards to transfer Carlisle ON
the Treasury TO the Capitol, and they will
be played for all there is in them.
A dispa ch from Frankfort says Black
burns supporters think that they have
discovered way to prevent he election of
a Republican Senator. Judge Leiber,h of
Covington, who was member of the last
Legislature, has accep pied the position of
Chief of Police of Covington- They claim
that this invalidates his seat in the Legis-
lature, which he do not resign. and to
which it is said Kline, R., was elected at
the, recent election without there having
been special election called by Governor
Bradley, as was the case in other districts
where there were vacancies.

LINCOLN, NEBR. Nov. 5.-The first in

ceded the election of Mckinley was given
to Mr. Bryan at s o'clock this evening,
through the medium of United Asso-
ciated Presses bulletin. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan we're out walking when the bulletin
was received. They had been in doors all
day, and after supper decided to take
little needed exercise. Just as the clock
in the library of the Democratic candi-
dates cosy little home was striking he
hour husband and wife returned. Mr..
Talbot Mr.. Bryan's law partner, who has
lust been elected to the Nebraska Legisla-
ture on the Republican ticket, and several
newspaper men were in the library at the
time. Mr.. Bryan read the bulletin with
out showing any signs of feeling, and re-
marked as he finis ed: I'll wait to hear
from Senator Jones before saying any
thing"
Then he put on a velvet house jacket
and began chatting pleasantly with some
personal friends who were with him in
the parlor. There was nothing of the pa
thetic in the scene. Mr.. Bryan had not
clung to the hopes held out to him by
some of his enthusiastic followers and
was prepared for the news. His wife, too,
knew that nothing encouraging was to be

Vlce-ChaIrman Payne Content to
Rest on That Total.

Rest on That Total.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 5.-Vice- Chair
man Payne of the Republican National
Committee was cont MT to-day to rest
upon the total of 264 electoral votes
for Mckinley. He said he could have
added one more as sure for the President
. elect-that of one elector from Wyoming.
who is said to have slipped in winner be-
cause the middle-of- -the-road Populist
elector had refused to Withdraw and drew
vital strength from the Fusion ticket.
Mr.. Payne said his advices from Chair
man Roberts of the Kentucky committee
assured him that States vote would be for
Mckinley, but it would require the official
count TO determine what the majo ity was.
At present he claimed it by 1900 This
State would give Mckinley go electoral
votes. The following telegram was re-
ceived from the chairman of the Wyoming
State Committee:
= Republicans carry eight counties for
the National and State tickets One
county not heaad from. Have certainly
one Presidential elector and Supreme
Judge. State is very close, but returns
received indicate the election OF the re-
naming two electors and congressman "
Chairman Gowdy telegraphed from In
dianatolis to Executive Com itteeman
Durbin, sticking to his figures OF last
night as TO the Republican majority in In
diana-20, 000-and adding that Congress
men Leighty. Hardy, Sulzer and Trace
well were bly, defeated, making the
delegation nine Republicans and four
Democrats and both branches of the Legis-
Iature sure.
Mr.. Payne did some figuring on the
next Senate, saying: I'VE will have a
majority for sound money in the Senate.
There will be forty-six Senators for gold,
forty-two for free silver and two doubtful,
the doubt resting on the Legislatures
which have just been elected. On the
question of passing tariff bill independ-
ent of silver rider there viii be forty
seven for. forty against and three doubt
full. We count on such silver Senators as
Kyle and Cannon voting with the admin
is;ration.'
Mr., Payne was highly amused about a
telephone message which he received dur
Eg tie morning from Milwaukee. The
an at the other end OF the wire was
aarles Phster, a prominent citizen of
Milwaukee, He said: "I see in the
papers that Mckinley has only 264 votes.
Can't you scrape another somewhere?
I've got $4,000 up that Mckinley will get
265''

Talks of the Issues That Caused
Republican Success.
NEW YORK, n. Y. Nov. 5.-Mark A
Hanna, chairman of the National Com
mittee, arrived in this city from Cleyeland
this morning. He registered at the Wal
dorf, where Mrs. Hanna and daughters
have been for the past month. Mr.. Hanna
was accom- panied to this city by Colonel
S. T. Everett, Cleveland banker.
The Republican chairman was accorde ed
a rousing reception at Ashtabula, Ohio,
and Erie, Pa, where he made brief
speeches. On his arrival at the Waldorf
Mr.. Hanna was greeted by host of
friends and held informal receptions. He
was in the best of spirits, but declined to
be interviewed until he had met Mrs.
Hanna and his daughters. Mr.. Hanna
came downstairs in about an hour and
talked freely 10 the reporters.
What. in your opinion, changed the
farmers vote TO Mckinley in the Middle
Western States?' he was asked.
Mr.. Hanna paused moment and then
said: well, the farmers of the Middle
West were away off in the beginning on
the money question and on the results
that would follow McKinley's election.
They believed at first that if Mckinley
was elected silver would be wiped out OF
circulation. The farmers confounded the
gold standard with monometallism, but
they learned the truth as the result of
the campaign shows"
do you think the tariff question fig
ured much IN the result?"
''Yes, sir; decidedly so. 1t figured
vary Oupb md NJ,
beamed all over.
Mr.. Hanna was then questioned about
what would be Major McKinIey's position
on the tariff question.
Il would prefer to let Major Mckinley
speak for himself on that question" !" he
replied.
He then called attention to what Nc
Kinley said at the banquet of the Mar
quette Club in Ch cago on February IL
last Lincoln's birthday.
'Major Mckinley then said Mr.
Hanna continued, "'I am not an advo.
cate for schedules. but for the principle.
of protecuon.'
do you feel that the silver question is
dead?"
''Well, feel that it is the beginning of
the end. l don't hesitate to say that the
result of this election will bring about
serious consideration OF this question and
that the opinion of the country will be re-
dected in the Senate and Congress-"
When asked what he thought of the ad-
vance in securities since election day Mr.
Hanna said: at was to be expected, and
| predict that every business interest
which depends on confidence in our Gov
ernment, and that means all but specula-
tive interests, will be permanently bene-

CANTON, OHIO, Nov 5.-Maior Nc
Kinley found time tonight to say few
words about the election. He spent tie
evening at home and chatted with num-
ber of his friends. To the correspondent
OF the United Associated Pre- ses who
asked him to what he attributed the sue
cess of the Republicans he said:
II 90 not care to be interviewed, but
will say that think the patriotic effort OF
the men of both the old parties have
brought about the result. Ardent and de-
voted as have been the Republicans every
where, equally pronounced and helpful
was the attitude of the sound money
Democrats. Then the press of the coun-
try, the intelligent and enth usiastic efforts
of the journals OF both parties, have been
michty factor in the result and aid to
the Republican cause"

They Say That Business Is Already
Improving.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov. 5.-Herr Bei-
schroeder, the great German banker, in an
interview on the result OF the Presidential
election, expressed the opinion that the
election of Mckinley had made most ex-
cellent impression in Germany, but added
that he was unable to ioretell whether un-
toward circumstances woulo arise later to
undo the good that has already been done
Herr Koch, director of the Deutsche
Bank, said:
THE election of Mckinley has had the
best possible effect upon the German
bourses and markets. feel confident that
Mckinley as President, will act differently
from what he did as committeeman in
Congress-"
Herr Guttman, director of the Dresden
Bank, said:
'.The result of the election has made a
splendid impression throughout the COM
mercial world and promises for some years
TO come stability and quiet ness, with a
rapid revival of trade and commerce. As
regards the question OF protection, even
this must be awaited calmly"
Director Esch of the Disconto Bank
said: "The niy b mare has been removed.
Tne bourses do not expect that Mckinley
will follow as President the same lines
which he pursued as Congressman.
At the clearinghouse of William Rosen-
teim 81 Co. it was said: I'VE are not
afraid of any high-tariff campaign. The
money that was boarded through fear

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 5.-Gold was paid
out on demand to-day at all the St. Louis
banks. President Thompson of the Ma
tionai Bank of Commerce said:
1--WE have ordered our paying tellers to
pay in gold whenever il is a. ked for We
did this as the result OF the election of Nc
Kinley. Before the election we dared not,
as the demand for gold by those who
feared the success of the silver m movement
would have exhausted our supply
President Charles Parsons of the State
Bank, said:
I'VE are giving out gold now to ali who
ask for it, because we know gold payments
will be kept up by the Government. The
sixty or eighty million dollars of gold
which have been boarded will come out
and go into circulation, or be deposited
in banks and all reasonable accommoda-
tions will se given TO manufacturers and
merchants.
