their way and that there was regular
landslide for their candidate; but as the
true returns began to come in it was
found that there was all the difference in
the world between their wishes and the
real facts in the case.
Estimates in the gross are easy enough
to make and the Republicans have made
the most OF their advantages. They
claimed North Carolina, Indiana, Ken
lucky, and other States without hesita-
ton and figured everything to suit them
selves; but it now appears that while Me
kinley may he elected it will not be by
anything like the plurality which his adj
herents. ut first claimed. Many of the
Western States at first placed unhesita-
tingly i'll the Republican column have
been turned over to Bryan until now, in
stead of having 81 electoral votes the Re
publican managers will he glad if they
can count on go Indiana did not fall
into Mckinlcy's column as rapidly and
completely us was expected, and there
was still much doubt as to the vote of
Michigan and Minnesota. kentucky in
stead of being sure for Mckinley was
found to be very close with the chances
that it might be carried for Bryan by q
plurality of 200. In view of these facts
and the slowness of the returns from the
West, the silver men have not given ND
all hope, but are waiting and Watching
for some turn in the tide that will bring
them success.
On the whole, while it seems that Me
kinlcy has been elected, the figures so far
received do not fully establish the fact,
and while his opponents are prepared to
have to admit this, they are not still en-

IL respectable side show Bryan, how
ever, though he may have been defeated
has covered himself with glory. lie has
made one of the grandest fights in history,
and is to-day the most popular man in
America. The people who have stood by
him in his gallant fight against the money
power will remain with him to the end,
and will follow his teachings until vic
tory pcrches upon his banner.
He is Il young man and in able and elo-
qucnt one, and the same magnetism that
has drawn millions to his standard in the
election just concluded will draw the
people to him hereafter and give to him
and his cause an overwhelming victory in
the future. The fact that the election is
so close now under the most adverse be
ginning is sufficient evidence Of the deep
hold the doctrincsssof free coinage have
taken upon the minds OF he people and
of the wonderful influence that Mr.. Bryan
has welded rs its chief exponent. The
forces of plutocracy may triumph this
time but their triumph will be short lived.
Silver coinage is bound to win in the end,
and William Jennings Bryan will yet be
the President of the United States.

Treasury officials say that from now on
there will be large gain i'll the importa
tions of gold. AS this accumulation of
the yellow metal from Europe was going
on some weeks prior to the election it is
easy TO see that those who claim the inn
portation was affected by the prospects
of McKinley's election were reckoning
without their host. Judging from the
past it seems that the election has had
nothing to do..with gold impor tations, one
way or the other.
