The General Election.
REPUBLICANS CLAIn A LAND
SLIDE FOR r1cKINLEY.


CHICAGO, November 4.-Chairman
Jones shortly before midnight, gave
out the following: I'VE have received
no unfavorable reports from any State
we have claimed except Kentucky. We
can afford to lose Kentucky and still
have enough electoral votes to win.
There is no foundation for the claims
of the Republicans. There. is at this
time no reason to think that any of the
States claimed by me for Bryan has
failed to vote for him. While mislead-
ing reports are being sent in all direc-
tions private advices assure us that
each one of these States has gone for
Mr.. Bryan. For two hours the most
extravagant claims as to Kentucky and
Indiana have been telegraphed all over
the country, while within the last few
minutes our committees assure US that
both States are safe for us. Mr.. Bryan
is certainly elected"
To this was added by E. w. Barrett,
of the literary bureau: 1--WE have just
received a message from the chairman
of the State Central Committee of In
diana to the effect that Indiana is abso-
lutely safe for Bryan"
Allen w. Clark, secretary of the State
Committee Of Indiana, telephoned
'Sixty-fve indianapolis precincts heard
from show an average Republicans gain
of eleven to precinct. Fifteen country
precincts heard from show a Demo-
cratic gain of about forty to each pre-
cinct. I believe the Democrats have
carried the State. l do not expect re-
turns from country districts until very
late"

Mckinley and Hobart made clean
sweep of the Empire State. The Demo
cratic plurality of $4,000 in 1892 was re-
versed and the unpreceeded plurality
of $4,000 has been rolled up for the
Republicans and sound money. Tam
many's enormous majority in the city
has been overcome and the stronghold
of the Der cracy has given pluralit,
of 81, 600 Mckinley.

ment voting solidly for Bryan and the
fusion ticket. Chairman Burke, Of the
Democratic County Committee, from
reports received at noon, claim the
city by plurality of 5000 for Bryan

SOUTH CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, November 3.-The
vote in Charleston was light. The
weather was bad, light rains falling
through the day. Ballots were cast for
all offices from the Presidential elec-
tors down to coroner, and the straight
Democratic ticket will win in every
case by two-thirds majority. Elliot,
dem., has plurality of about 1850
votes over his two Republican op-
ponents, Murray, colored, and Cohen,
white. Murray leads Cohen by two to
one here and almost everywhere else
in the district. The full vote Of the
city will be cast for the Democratic

Buckner vote has been very small and
is confined almost exclusively to the
downtown wards. Bryan's plurality
in the city may reach 1000.

Why Not Ten-Cent DolarsY

We all know that this country can
sustain a limited amount of silver cur
Iency at a ratio of sixteen to one, be-
cause it is already doing it. But if it can
sustain an unlimited amount coined at
the same ratio, why can it not sustain it
at ratio of three to one? In other
words, why can it not strike from our
ten cent piece the inscription zone
dime" and make it zone dollar?" II
this be practicable-and it seems to
me that the one is as practicable as the
others not the proposition of un1tm-
tied sixteen to one an extravagant and
useless waste of the most valuable com
modify which the world has ever
known? 1t appears that there are great
er possibilities open to the advocates
of the white metal than even they have
as yet conceived.-T. F. Rice.

The Free-Copper Movement.

The silver bug should not delude him
self with the idea that the only enemy
he has to combat is the goldbug. There
are others. The copper bug is abroad in
the land. His arguments are finding
fixed Judgment I'm the minds of many
who have rejected the goldbug and the
silver bug. Every argument advanced
for free silver applies with greater
force TO free copper. The widows mite
was copper. The money Of the poor is
copper. 1t has been coined into money
by nearly all the nations of the earth
for a thousand years. If the govern
ment with it's stamp can make SO cents
worth Of silver worth full dollar, 1t
can make three cents worth of copper
worth one dollar. If the 53-cent silver
dollar will bring prosperity and give
money to all the people, the three cent
copper dollar will bring those blessings
IN greater measure. If the debtor can
save At cents on every dollar under free
silver, he can save or cents on every dol
lar by paying with a three cent copper
dollar. The copper bug certainly has a
better scheme than the silver bug. If
the arguments of the silver bug are
sound, those of the copper bug are
sounder But let us suspend judg-
ment, brethren, until we hear from the
man with the leather doQlar.-Chica9o

HARD TIMES AND FREE SILVER.

Cheap Money Productive of Comm ercial
Depression.
The GAINESVILLE (Tenn.) Leaf-Chron-
icle has the following:
''There is not frst-class commercial
country on earth now that has free coin
age.
'There is not free silver country ON
earth that has as much as five dollars
per capita in circulation-all kinds Of
money.
"There is in circulation in the United
States $24 per capita, OF $3.50 more
per capita than any free silver country
on earth.
1--WE have more in circulation to-day
than ever before, and more per capita
than any free silver country on earth.
"Our dollar will buy more sugar,
coffee, -four, meal, meat, medicine,
hardware and clothing than in 1873.
"a barrel of corn, a bushel of wheat
or 100 pounds Of tobacco will buy nearly
double as much of the articles that
farmers consume as the same kind of
corn, wheat or tobacco would buy in
1873.
"The wages of the laboring man will
buy double as much Of the necessaries
of life now as in 1878, and his wages
have not been reduced one-fourth as
much as the purchasing power Of his
money has been increased"
All of the above propositions we as
sert without the fear of intelligent con-
tradiction. Then, If it be fact that no
free silver country on earth has as
much as five dollars per capita; and If
1t be a fact that we have about $24 per
capita; and if it be fact that we have
more silver in circulation per capita
than any free silver country in the
world; and If it be fact that the pur-
chasing power of our dollar is now
about double what it was in 1878, and
that the products of the farm will pur-
chase more necessaries of life than in
1873, our free silver friends will have to
hunt harder for the hard times COM
planned of. They can't charge it to g
reduced circulation or higher prices

AMONG party men and politicians
of the Second congressional district
it was generally understood that
r. B. Kirkland has for number of
years been striving to obtain the
nomination of his party for congress.
Previous to the Chicago convention
he was a gold Democrat, but in order
to further his congressional boom, as
he supposed, he somewhat reluctant-
ly, it appears, swallowed the undem-
ocratic dose; but the fusion and con-
fusion incident to the state silver
Democratic convention at Milwaukee,
and the ill-shapen, disjointed mon
strosity of a ticket which it's de-
alterations brought forth, was too
much for even him to choke down,
and on the very eve of the congress-
ional convention at WATERFOWL, and
In theface of his conceded nomination,
he announces his withdrawal from
the race. Naturally enough Mr..
Kirkland's action is great surprise
to his friends and one which they
were wholly unprepared for. But
Bob" is not without reason and
conviction, and while to perhaps en-
nance his personal ambition he con-
sented to wink at the Chicago con-
vention's folly, sober second thought
has returned, and he reads the hand
writing on the wall "No free silver
Democrat can be elected to congress
from the Second district this fall!'-

Dearness Not tho Goal

The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices" The one universal
human interest is cheapness- The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
sirable things were produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
that condition-that is to say, every
cheapening of the necessaries of life-is
a great gain for everybody. On the
other hand, every increase in the price
of the necessaries of Life is a direct and
grievous hurt to the people.

". {. T. U MEETING
Resolutions Adopted Against Improper Bicy.
Gle Attire-InformsI Discussio

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Central w. c. T. L. held yesterday az
Temperance Temple there was a good
attendance. After the devotional eXer-
cises different subjects were informally
presented. The treasurer's report stat
ed 500 80 in bank and $50 for the memoir
al fund. A petition was read from the
inmates of the county Jail asking that
the same ladies who conducted the meet
ing for Flower day, June 9Th, might be
allowed TO conduct the Sunday services
instead of those who now have it in
charge; the matter was referred to a
committee. Miss Keene offered her res
ignation as treasurer, which will be
acted upon at coming meeting. The
motion made by Mrs. Garbutt was car
ried that the next meeting would be
dispensed with at the temple and that
the ladies would meet as a union a the
suffrage meeting to be held Friday at
the home of Mrs. Rolf, 25S North Tn
ion avenue. Mrs. McClees gave a brief
talk on home tritlcs which was followed
by a discussion.
The following resolutions, presented
by Mrs. Wolkskill, We're adopted.
While we believe in the emancipation
of woman from any and all customs
which deprive her of her freedom. either
physically or mentally, yet we are not
unmindful that she is most perfect when
most Womanly.
We most heartily endorse the bicycle,
when moderately and modestly used,
and believe it to be blessing to wo-
men in general and working women
in particular, but we regret exceedingly
that many young women, by the abuse
Of the liberty which this modern in
Nention affords, call forth criticisms
broad enough and indisCriminate enough
to wound the heart Of every true woman
We regard some of the bicycle costumes
seen on our streets as unWomanly. in
decent, and demoraliZing in their eff
feet; therefore, as part of great or
ganiZation of Christian WomanhOod and
mother love, we of the Central w. e. T.
I. OF Los Angeles raise our voice and en-
ter our protest against this or any Gus
tom the tendency OF which is to debase,
rather than elevate the human race.
