PERSONAL VIEWS
Expressions From Prominent
Statesmen ond Politicians.
Their Reasons for the ResuIt-some
ofThem Forecast the Future-A Re-
vision of the Tariff Early and Ger
tain.

The Associated Press has sent out ex-
pressiops of personal views obtained
from prominent individuals, as follows:
Chicago, Nov. 5.-Chairman w. D.
Bynun of the national committee of the
gold standard democracy made the fol-
lowing statement:
ait is too early for the sound money
democrats to decide upon a course OF
action for the future. We shall have to
await developments. While the policy
of the government so far as the stand
ard is involved has been settled the de-
tails of sound financial system yet re-
mains to be pied.
"The present defenseless condition Of
the treasury must be remedied before
we can hope for lasting prosperity, and
this will be adifficut task, as some radi-
ical changes will be necessary. a re-
union of the forces of the democratic
party can only be had on he platform
of the Indianapolis convention, as the
Chicago platform was a radical depar-
ture from the cherished principles of the
party, and those who continue to ad-
here to 1t will find themselves swallow
ed up by the PoPulists.
az am sure our efforts have materially
contributed to the result. No one will
question but that our speakers were
potent factor on the stump. II sPlen-
did campaign of General Palmer and
Buckner, and the speeches of Secretary
Carlisle, Governor Flower, Col. Irish,
Col. Fellows. Mr.. Humphrey and others
had great influence with republicans as
well as democrats. I shall call the exc
cutive committee together at an early
date, but not imm ediately, as I have
been closely confined to the work for
five months and shall take a little recre-
alton first
"The positions of the chairman of the
national committee was new to me, but
the support received from other mem
beers and prominent democrats through
out the country was of great assistance
and relieved me of much responsibility
and labor attached to the position.
While all connected with our organiza-
ton are entitled to great credit, the i'm
portant services of Mr.. Dickinson and
Mr.. Hewett merit special commenda-
ton"
New York, Nov. 5.-Garret A. Hobart
has received hundreds of congratula-
tory teleg ans, including one from Sen
ator Quay saying;
"Now that the agony is over, de-
sire to recall your pr omise that shall
always be entitled to the floor. 1 con-
graduate you. McKinley's troubles
are only beginning. This is purely a
victory for the honest voters"
Helena, Nov. 5.-Discussing the re-
suit of the election Senator Carter last
night said;
1.-THE election of Mckinley bids the
American people to renew hope in the
future. That the newly elected Presi-
dent will Justify the expectations OF the
people, none familiar with his past rec
ord and great ability can question. 1t
must be understood, however, that his
path is liable to be beset with difficult
ties. 1t is obvious that the senate Will
he very close on the subject of tariff
legislation. The very large vote cast
for BRYAN will, 1 am sure, admonish
those in the minority of the necessity
for prompt and vigorous efforts IN the
direction of securing results on the
coinage question in accordance with the
party platform"
New York, Nov. 5.-B urke Cock
rem said last night in regard to the re-
suit:
"This was not a political contest IN
the ordinary meaning of the term. IL
was an instruction against the under
living principles of civilization and
believe il is without parallel in the his
tory of the world.
81 have 70 opinion to express as TO
the future of the democratic party 1t
has no future which it can determine
for itself This in my opinion was not
an explanation of the people as to what
should be done during the next four
years. but as TO wat should not be done.
do not regard it as verdict in favor
of any specific policy. Tt was verdict
against debasement of the currency,
against destruction of the Supreme
court as an independent tribunal, and
against the notification or abridgement
of the presidents power to enforce
law. In line, it vas a verdict that the
