A Great Victory Won.

On another page the story Of Tues
days battle is told in full and the re-
suits show what the people think OF
free silver, populism and Altgeld of
anarchistic fame. These issues are
buried and let us hope they will never
rise again to threaten American in
stitutions and the prosperity of the
creates republic on the face Of the
earth.
1t was great victory. The solid
South has lost its power in determ-
ming the results of future contests
and hereafter there will be no North
and no South, but one country and
one flag. Even in Texas the democrat
tic majority was cut down to such a
figure that the state may well be
classed doubtful in the future.
Mr.. Bryan carried his own state,
but cut no figure in any of the states
OF the middle west where he hoped
to win the election. The majorites
in these half dozen states ranged from
$4,000 to 100000 for Mckinley and
sound money.
1t is a matter of greatest joy that
old Altgeld is buried so completely.
Chicago has redeemed herself and
Altgeld can now retire to private life
and we shall hear less of injunctions
and pardons of convicts and all the
other disgraceful utterances and acts
of this enemy of American institu-
tions.
Now that the battle is over and it
is settled that the republicans have
won not only the presidency but the
senate and the house, that return OF
prosperity which we have been an,
ticipating so long will surely come.
1t will not come in a day or a month
but it will come gradually and within
the next decade we shall see the most
prosperous times that our country
has ever known.
Hurrah for Mckinley and sound
money.

Of the Chicago platform up to the eve of
election day, and today saw the fulfill
ment OF that promise.
A special train to which was attached
the private car Idler, the one in which
Mr.. Bryan has Travelled for month,
left the Burlington station at Lincoln
Monday morning for the final journey
of the democratic candidate before cleo
tion day.
Mr.. Bryan was reminded that the OPP
ponents to the Chicago ticket in his own
state were active. At Seward, which
was reached at 1885, gold badges were
displayed in large numbers.
The republicans had also arranged
counter display at York. Yellow rib
bons were very noticeable there among
the crowd OF 1000. The cheering was
very hearty for Bryan, intermingled with
some shouts for Mckinley.
A couple Of thousand OF people gath
cred to hear Mr.. Bryan at Aurora, where
he spoke from stand erected in an open
field. Considerable cheering for McKin.
ley was interjected with the enthusiasm
Of the Bryanites.
The extreme western point in his long
campaign tour was reached by Mr..
Bryan at Grand Island, whence he turned
eastward again and returned to Aurora
on his way to Hastings.
Grand Island furnished the largest
crowd of tue day up to that time. 1t
was gathering composed largely of
farmers. At least 1000 people heard him
here, and the cheering was frequent.
Mr.. Bryan's tour of Nebraska took
him into four congressional districts.
He made 20 speeches, ending the trip in
Omaha late in the evening.

and equality before the law, and unity
under one constitution and one flag.
These are they, these are the causes, tri-
umphant in yesterdays great battle at
the polls. 1t was the Gettysburg of in
dustry. 1t was Waterloo for anarchy.
1t was victory so glorious that men
who yesterday cast their votes will thrill
with pride, in now long-distant future
years, to tell the story to their grand
sons, and to say, "We voted for McKin.

Last Day of the Campaign.
Monday at Canton.

The city of Canton on the eve of cleo.
ton was hardly able to contain itself
Business was practically suspended and
the streets were filled with citizens dis.
cusSing politics, The Mckinley home
was surrounded with crowds.
Maj. Mckinley spent the day receiving
callers. T.. V. Powderlv, formerly grand
master workman of the knights OF La
Dor, and party OF friends were among
the most important callers.
Mrs. Mckinley is still confined to her
room, but her illness is not serious, and
she will be able, probably, to go down
stairs tomorrow night, and receive the
returns with the major.
Major Mckinley had not the slightest
apprehension of the results. His conf
dence was contagious and affected every
one who entered the house.
Two delegations arrived. The first
was party of citizens from Massilon,
who marched to the Mckinley home
and were received informally without
any speeches. Almost 400 of the women
OF Akron came later in the day. Miss
Helen Bortle made short Introductory
speech, to which the major responded
briefly.
Mrs. Mckinley received thousands of
boxes of flowers during the campaign,
but none was more beautiful or more
elaborate than box of American Beau
ty roses received Monday from the wo-
men of Fredericksburg, Va.
1onday at Lincoln.
William J. Bryan began the closing day
OF his memorable campaign tour early in
the morning. He frequently said he
would be found preaching the doctrines

The Great Question Settled.

The most important of allcrusadeS
undertaken in the interest of wild
eyed reform since Don Quixote
thought it his duty to smash the
windmills is now vanishing into an
1nglorlous past. The forces of dis.
content of every sort, Coxeyism,
Dtbsism, Altgeldsm, and latest but
not least Organism, aided and abet.
ted by the silver barons, have urged
their sovereign remedies upon an
alert and sagacious people. They
have been given fair hearing. The
newspapers have printed both sides
OF a very important question, the
orators have been heard in patience,
the arguments for and against have
been duly considered, the case has
gone to the people, and, in the over
whelming majority of Tuesday last,
the American republic, involving the
most complex and gigantic business
systems in the world, takes on
new lease of existence. Since the
great war the nation has never been
so imperllcd, The result justifies the
well founded faith of conservative
men that on great moral issues the
great majority of Americans are to
be found on the side of right. 1t is
an added proof that in unrestricted
discussion lies the only safe road to
ourpolitical salvation. The majority
are today undoubtedly OF the opinion
that the defeated candidate sprung
upon the country in the frenzy of
heated rhetoric, has steadily con-
tributed by impassioned and i'll.
advised defamation very materially
to his own defeat The people can
be trusted in a great emergency and
what is quite pertinent at the
present moment is that hundreds of
thousands of foreign born voters
have risen to the heights of their
opportunity and cast their suffrages
for Mckinley and sound money. The
laboring man has been heard from,
and his judgment is just. Now for
business.

Flag day was observed last Satur-
day throughout the United States,
many OF the cities having large
parades, in some both the gold and
silver forces turning out and vying
with each other to have the largest
number of men in line. In New York
there was monster sound money
parade, it being estimated that there
were $4,000 men in line. The
streets were filled with enthusiastic
sound money men.

How Bryan Received the News.

The New York World Wednesday morn
ing published the following;
This has been trying day and night
for Mr.. Bryan's home
1t is terrible thing to look upon a
strong man in the pride of youth and see
him gather up in his hands the ashes of a
great ambition, to watch his face and
know that he is summoning up all the
strength Of his nature to suppress alter
nate agony and JOY.
For hours tonight Mr.. Bryan has en-
dured the torture of suspense. have
been sitting all the evening in the little
room where three telegraph operators
have been receiving election returns. l
never saw such a face, and have never
seen such a man. He sat like general
reading the reports of some great battle
in which whole armies were swept away
His eye never changed. His countenance
was unreadable.
State after state wheeled into line
against him North, South East and
West. The shrill noise of the telegraph
instruments never ceased.
He wore black velvet jacket and a
pink carnation was stuck in his button
hole. AT first his little daughters lro-
licked in the room where the news was
being received. But the silence became
too great, The children went away.
MIS-. Bryan watched her husbands face
with look of dread.
Hours passed, and then the leader went
up stairs and stretched himself on his
bed In this attitude he worked out the
result of the national struggle as the
bulletins were brought to him. He
uttered no sound of despair, but before
the end came his face was the face of an
old man. The revolution was smashed.

Some idea of the hard work
done in the campaign just closed
can be obtained from the fol-
lowing number Of speakers who
spoke daily and nightly under the
direction OF the republican national
committee: Illinois, 5000; Indiana,
1000; Wisconsin, 900; Minnesota,
l 400; Ohio, / 600; Michigan, 1000;
Missouri, 1900; Ohio, 600; Kan
sas, 1, 200; Nebraska, 1000; North
Dakota, 900. Total, 1890. This
number is more than half as large as
the standing army of the United
States. 1t will be observed that this
vast number of speakers were all at
work in states between the Allie
ghany and Rocky mountains. The
assignments of the speakers ended
on the night before election.

rejoicing over the fact that she had

Duse was born thirty-five years ago

age of twelve she was entrusted with
such a part as Francesca da Remini,
showing that her ability even at that
early age must have been recognized.
She drudged on in this way, playing all
manner of parts in all kinds of theaters,
until she was sixteen, when she played
Juliet at Verona, where, of course, the
story of the two lovers is a local tradi-
ton. But when she appeared at the
Fifth Avenue theater in New York
three years ago she came as a stranger.
The next day she was hailed as a gen.

Unexpected Opposition from Senator Cor
man--Announcement of His Intention to
Keep Congress in Session Until After the
National Conventions.
A special dispatch to the New York
Evening Post yesterday from Wash
ington, says;
Opposition has arisen from an unex-
pected quarter to the widely heralded
program of the republicans for an early
adjournment Of congress. Senator
Aldrlch, rep, of Rhaae Island, told a
friend last evening that Senator Cor
man, dem, of Maryland, had said
Your people may as well give UP
your plan of getting away from Wash
ington so very soon. Our side does not
propose to let you go before the two
conventions are held"
If Senator German is in earnest, he
can make good his threat by little
TACTICAL manoeuvrlng. The motion of
Senator Plat, rep, of Connecticut, for
adjournment names May as the date
but republicans generally admit that
June is nearer the practicable time.
The desire of Senator German to up
set the republican program may be due
to a general disposition to antagonize
republican ideas, or it may be that he
hopes to put the republicans on record
after the ST. Louis convention in a few
yea and nay votes which will disclose
their hopeless variance on questions
treated in their own platform. He has
not at present united democratic sup
port for his plan, but he has enough OF
a following to carry out his scheme if
he is resolved upon 1t.
