Tney have with the same mighty power
affirmed their devotion to law and order
and their undertaking respect for justice
and the courts. They have proclaimed their
unfaltcring determination to support and
uphold the constituted authorities of the

have, indeed, again consecrated themselves
to country and baptized the cherished or

American people. Not the feast OF the tri-

reunited people in purpose as in name.
We have manifested In the great cause

that should always characterize our com

cCnclusively that in a country Of equal
privileges and equal opportunity the in

Let us. as Americans, stTaightway devote
ourselves to the upbuilding OF America: to
the peace honor and glory of our common
country; Party dissensio=s should no
longer divide or rack the public mind; nor
the zeal or temper Of either side deter any
citizen from patriotic devotion to the good

ner tonight said:
Chairman Jones has informed me that
he will this evening ConCcde the election
Of Major Mckinley. The confidence which
Senator Jones has inspired, and the man
ncr In which he has conducted the cam
paign will warrant me in saying that none
will question the propriety of his acting
promptly in so grave "a ni-rter. when once
he has become thoroughly satisfied from
the returns in his possession that there
remains no further hope for the success of
that magnificent leader whose plume has
been seen in the front OF the line OF bat
tie in thirty states and whose eloquent
inspired millions Of his fellow citizens to
strain every effort within the lines Of legti-
mate controversy to secure a victory which
would relieve them from the merciless cx-
actions OF a continuing contracting cur
rcncy The national democracy has been
defeated but by returns in our possession,
and which will be shown ny the final vote
In the electoral college, twenty-six states,
with 200 electoral votes, have endorsed its
candidates, and have approved its plat
form. But. true to the great Jehersonian
principle, all must bow to tne will of the
people as voiced by majority OF the cleo
toral college.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 5.-Senator Tillman
OF South Carolina passed through the city
this afternoon enroute for home from Chi

porter. The senator was in good spirits al
though he conceded the victory of Mckinley.
He declares the fight for free silver had
only been started and would be continued.
Bryan. he said, would be the democratic
nominee in 1900 and would certainly win.

WASHINGTON Nov. Authorization re-
ceived at the Treasury department shows
that large amounts OF gold are being Of
fered at the several subtreasuries in eN-

made as to legal tenders. One million
In gold was offered, and the subtreasurer
telegraphed the secretary for Instructions

especially small bills in anticipation of a
revival OF business, is exceptionally heavy,
and II is expected that several days will
elSpSe before the officials will be in posi-
ton to meet all demands. The treasury
officials anticipate no further Withdrawals
OF gold for export and regard the financial
situation as greatly improved.

say that the department desires to be in
formed in advance OF any large trans

NEBRASKA RESULT PLEAsEs BRYAN
Looks for Reform of the Ballot LAW
in the NcNI LcgiaIntnrc.

LINCOLN, Neb,. Nov. 5.-Mr. Bryan still
refuses to be interviewed on the general
election, saying that until the returns are
finally determined it would not be proper
for him TO express an opinion, but he gave
out the following on the situation in Ne
braska:
The result in Nebraska is very graft
flying We have had great obstacles to
overcome, and yet, in spite OF all these OBJ
staces, we have secured a majority OF TO-
600 or 1900 for our electoral ticket and
have elected the entire state ticket, and
also at least four. and possibly five, mem
bers Of congress out Of six. and elected a
good working majority in both branches Of
the legislature. The democrats populists
and silver republicans have worked together
In perfect harmony and they share the vic
tory together. The gold standard demo-
Gratis by collision with republicans secured
a place on the ballot as democrats" and
deceived a few voters. but the attempted
fraud was called TO the attention OF the
voters and the evil effects reduced to a
minimum. IT is sad to say that almost the
entire Palmer vote was almost unanimously
for the republican syndicate. ! am proud
Of Nebraska and grateful to the friends
in this state for their loyalty. No cause
ever had more devoted supporters than the
silver cause Having control Of the egisa-
tive machinery in this state we shall be
able to so reform our ballot law as 10 pre-
vent the frauds which have been perpetratel
under it, and we shall also be able to Sc
cure legislation which viii protect the
voters from coercion and intimidation. The
people OF Nebraska have cause for rejoicing.
The good effect Of our victory In this state
will be felt for years 10 come"
Mr.. Bryan declines to express an opinion
on the result Of the election even to his
intimate friends, but II is evident from his
manner that he considers the chances all
against him, but regards II improper to give
out an opinion as matters stand, So his
friends here still profess TO be hopeful The
excitement has already subsidized.
