we are making no claims" said he,
but are awaiting the later returns with
much interest.
Mr.. Bryan was a comparatively early
riser today He had had his breakfast
and was receiving callers at o'clock
He was CHEEKY and 5uoyant- kilograms
began TO arrive early IN the day. and
while none OF them made any positive
claims as TO the general result they
were all Of an encouraging character,
giving the Democratic candidate far
more ground for hope than did the pub
lie bulletins. Mr. Bryan commented up
on these as disinterested observer
might have done. but made no general
claims. He said he would have no com
ment to make until the result was ab-
soIutely known"

ought TO exist before recognition is 40
corded. 1t should be certain that a large
number of the people are in revolt; that
hey hold certain amount of territory !;
that they have organized some sort of a
government; that they have means OF de-
fence and offence. In short, the fact
that there exists the nucleus OF state,
with the machinery to carry on govern
ment if successful, should be ascertained
beyond reasonable doubt before recogni-
tion should be accorded. The effect of
recognition without the existence OF
these facts is to excite unjustitable and
causeless rebellions, and produce anarchy.
1t unfortunately happens that in the
Cuban case the existence of only few
if any, of these facts has been proved.
The reports from Cuba have been 50
colored by interested parties that it has
been practically impossible tc arrive at
any conclusion in regard to the nature
and extent Of the rebellion, and the prob
ability as to its ultimate success or fail
ure. Furthermore, and this is of high
Importance, there is very grave doubt as
to the capacity Of the Cuban insurgents !,
even if successful in freeing themselves
from the dominion of Spain, to form
and carry on permanent and well
ordered government. If our intention il
to free Cuba ourselves. of course it is not
necessary for us to know or inquire
about any of these things. But if it ia
our purpose simply to proclaim to the
world our belief that the Cuban insur-
gents possess the requisites recognized
by the law of nation to entitle them to
recognition as belligerepts, then we
ought to be tolerably sure regarding the
facts. We ought not to let our sympa-
thies run away with our Judgment.

Resolutions on the Death of Mr.. George S.
Hunt.

AT the regular meeting of the board O.
directors of the Merchants Nationa
Bank held yesterday the following me
mortal was ordered to be placed on tn,
records of the bank.
| Deeply sensible of the great loss sus-
| tanned in the death of our late presi
dent, George s. Hunt, we, the director
| OF the Merchants National bank, would
| place upon Its records an expression o.
| the high esteem IN which we held our lat,
associate.
For more than thirty years Mr. Hunt wa
| Of the bank and for nearly eight years
has been it's honored president.
Ready in suggestion. pr ompt in decis
ion, energetic in execution, positive in
opinion, of sterling business integrity,
yet kind and honorable in his dealings,
his activity and energy have contributed
largely to the prosperity of the bank.
In affectiOnnte remem branoe of the
CHEEKY manner, pleasant word and gen.
ial companionship which we shall so
greatly miss, we direct that this memoir
al be placed upon our records and that a
copy of the same be forwarded to his
family, to whom we ould woffer our SYM
pathy in the loss Of an honored. faithful
and affectionate husband and father.
At meeting of the Portland club held
Monday evening, attention having been
called to the death OF George Stunt, il
was unanimously voted:
The secretary of the club is directed to
spread the following upon its records,
and to send copy thereof to the family
OF the deceased:
The death of George s. Hunt, termi-
mated the useful activities Of highly re-
spected and influential citizen of this
community ann has deprived this club Of a
most valued member Associated with
the club almost from its inception, Mr.
Hunt was an invariable attendant upon
its more important gatherings, and at
other times made himself most welcome
in its rooms by his cheering and energiz-
ing presence. He had served the club as
one of its vice presidents, and always
effectively and heartily oo-operated in
forwarding the objects of it's existence.
For these reasons Us well as for their
appreciation of his worth as man and a
citizen, the members of the Portland
Club unite with the people Of Portland
in lamenting the death Of George S.
Hunt.

THE SENATE AND CUBA

The proceedings in the Senate on yes
terday and Monday indicated reaction
on the Cuban matter and disposition to
consider the question of recognizing the
insurgents more deliberately and dispas-
sionately. This is q change for the bet
ter. The question is too important one
to be settled except after a thorough in
vestigation to ascertain the facts, and a
calm consideration Of the possible con-
sequences of the recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents The first duty
Of the Senate is to its own country. 1t is
not charitable society, organized for
the purpose Of extending helping hand
TO psople struggling for liberty, no mat
ter how worthy those people may be.
1t is elected to take care of the interests
of the United Estates, and in all its dis.
sussions and its actions they should be
held to be paramount.
This is not saying that our govern
msht should close its eyes to the strug.
giles of people striving to free themselves
from oppression unless it can discern in
their success some material advantage
to the United States. 1t Is not saying
that selfshmess, and that alone, should
determine the attitude of our government
toward the Cuban cause. But as prime
essentials of extending our moral suppor,
or our material aid to people in rebol.
lion against the existing government,
we should insist upon knowing that theil
cause Ia good one, and that the revo
luton is general enough and approved
Of by a sufficient number of people to
give 1t fair prospect of success. There
is not much doubt that the Cuban insur.
gents have good cause for revolt. The
Spanish government Of the island has
without doubt been oppressive, and la.
denied to citizens many rights TO which
they are justly entitled. But there il
doubt of the gravest kind about the abili
ty OF the insurgents to throw off the
Spanish yoke and establish their indepen
dence. OF course there will be some doub
In all such cases until the end aimed a
is accomplished, so that if absolute Ger
tainty were demanded as a prerequisite
of recognition insurgents would never be
recognized as belliRerents until they hat
successfully achieved their object. Bu

The silver Democrats are boasting that
they will have votes enough to control

they will have 606 silver delegates in the
This is very sanguine claim and in all
probability is much more favorable to the
free silver people than calm view of
the situation would justify. Neyerthe-
less there seems to be fair prospect that
Mr.. Tracy's claim of a majority will be
fulfilled. unless the gold men put in
