He Says Patriotic Men OF Both Old Par

Canton, o., Nov. "a representative
OF the Associated Press called on Major
Mckinley tonight and found him in his
library chatting with n number OF friends,
who were all feeling in excellent spirits
over the election. He asked him:
How are you feeling, governor:''

efforts of the men of both the old parties
have brought about the result. Ardent
and devoted rs have been the efforts of
Republicans everywhere, equally pro-

press OF the country, the intelligent and
enthusiastic efforts of the great journals

President-elect Mckinley tonight sent
dispatch to Mark Hanna at New York,
thanking him and the Republican COM
mittec for their serv ices and adding:
The people in their majesty, ignoring
party lines, have declared their detcsta-
ton of Republication and dishonor, in
whatever specous guise they may he
presented. They have, with the same
mighty power, affirmed their devotion to
law and order and their undertaking
respect for justice aid the courts. They
have maintained their unfaltering deter
mination to support and uphold the con
stitutcd authorities of the country and
have thereby given new vigor and
strength to our free institutions. They
have indeed, again consecrated them
selves to country and baptised the cher
ishcd ordinances Of free government with
new and holy patriotism. The victory
Is not to party or section, but Of and for
the whole American people.
Not tn least OF the triumphs of the
election is the obliteration of sectional
lines in the republic. We have demon
strated to the world that we are II re-
united people in purpose as in name. We
have manifested IN the great cause the
spirit of fraternity and brotherhood, that
should always characterize our common
and equal citizenship, and have proven
conclusively that in Il country of equal
privileges and equal opportunity the in
sidious doctrine of hate or of class or sec
tional distinctions cannot prevail. Let
us, rs Americans, straightway devote
ourselves To the upbuilding of America,
to the peace, honor. and glory of our com
mon country. Party dissensions should
no longer di eide or rack the public mind,
nor the zeal or temper Of either side Il eter

by 4S7 and the present indications are
that it will go in the Republican column.
North Carolina is very slow in return

South Dakota is exceedingly close, with

the Majority

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Chairman Jones
issued the following statement to. hight:
The result of the Presidential election
is apparently no longer in doubt 1t has
been one or the closest contests that the
people have been called upon to determine
in recent years. We have claimed the
election on our adv;ces from States that
were admittedly in doubt, in which we
knew there had been many frauds. and
from which there were evidences of tam
pcring with tie returns.
1T seems now to he apparent that
while Mr.. Bryan, after making the most
brilliant campaign in the history of our
country, and having carried most of the
states claimed to he doubtful. has not
carried enough to assure his success in
the electoral college.
Bryan electors have been chosen
from all of the States south of the Poto-
mac and Ohio, except West Virginia. and
MI those west of the Missouri eXcept Call
ifornia and Oregon. He has 1870 electoral
votes, and this number may he Increased
by final 1T turns from States yet in Ques-
ton. lie has not obtained enough votes
to carry the electoral college. Thus this
remarkable campaign closes with the
election of William Mckinley.
The result was brought about by
every sort of coercion and intimidation
on the part of the money power, includ-
ing threats of lock-outs, dismss;ils and
impending starvation by the employ
mcnt of by far the largest campaign fund
ever used in this country, and by the
subornation of Il large portion of the
American press.
The Prcsident-clcct and his party are
under pledge TO the American people to
continue the gold standard, and by it's
operation to restore prosperity to this
country. AS chief executive, Mr.. Nc
kinley Will have the cordial support of
the millions of patriotic Americans WHO
have cast their votes for William +.
3ryan They bow 20 the majesty of Office
and abide Ivy the result with none of the
mutterings that would have come from
the monicd power had it been unsl,c-
ceSsful
They are confident the gold standard
cannot give the promised prosperity, but
will gladly welcome it if it comes. They
Will continue the great struggle for the
uplifting of humanity and the maintc-
nance OF the dignity of our country in the
establishment of the American monetary
system, and the Democratic party, aided
by its present allies, will still uplift the
himetallic standard and bear il on to vic
tory JAMES X. JONES.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-''rhc fight has
just commenced" Thus spoke William
j. Bryan tonight when asked if he con.
sidered that the result of the ection had
been II serious blow to the cause of
himetallism. He had just sent ~ message
to Major Mckinley conceding his election
and rendering his congratulations.
Mr.. Bryan surrendered at 500 O'Clock
He had just received the signal and re-
sponded within the next ten minutes
with II telegram to his successful rival
This signal was II brief message from Sen
ator Jones, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, informing him
that he did not consider it wise to longer
withhold the concession of Mckinley's
election. This message was received by
Mr. Bryan II few minutes after he had
returned with his wife from an evening
stroll, and in the presence of IL dozen
callers, gathered in the parlor ana read
ing room of their unpretentious resi-
dence. -.
The receipt of the telegram created no
scene whatever, and one unncquaintcd
with the facts would never have suspect
ed from the surface Indications the i'm
portitncc of the occasion, or that the chief
actor III the drama had more than Il
passing interest in it. He handed the
telegram to Mrs. Bryan who was stand
ing near him, and without word, ex-
cept to explain the purport of the mes
sage, sat down ut his desk and penned
the following telegram:
Senator. Jones has just informed me
that the returns Indicate your election,
and hasten to extend my congratulate
tions. We have submitted the issue to
the American people, and their will is
law
While writing the message and after il
was completed Mr. Bryan chatted pleas
antly with the newspaper correspondents
who surrounded him, Indicating by his
manner that he felt relieved to have the
matter definitely determined, even though
the result was against him. He also
showed very plainly that Senator Jones'
message was no surprise to him. us it in
deed was not, for, as those who have
been in his confidence knew, he had con
sidered the battle rs practically lost ever
since the first nightafter the election. He
has, however, felt that it would be both
discourteous and unwise to give out any
intlmation to this effect until the national
committee had spoken.
Mr.. Bryan announced that he would
tomorrow issue an address, but he de
cined to make any statement Tonight,
or to submit to an interview, further
than to say that the fight for silver had
