the Election.

WhaV the fress mas TO say Concerning
the Election.
Commercial-Appeal: Lick the
muzzle and fire again"
Knoxville Sentinel: The Senate
will be curb bit on the wild McKin-
ley team.
McMinnville New Era: Palmer
should be put on the pension list at
once for disabilities received in the
late unpleasantness.'
Birmingham State Herald: But
for very large vote received by Pal
mer and Buckner in Alabama Bry-
ans majority would have been
smaller.
Atlanta Constitution: 1t was an
nounced some time ago that Mr..
Mckinley is the advance agent of
prosperity. Will he please fetch on
his circus?
Knoxville Tribune: Help, Lord,
for the Cody man ceaseth, for the
faithful fall from among the chill
dren of men. The wick
ed walk on every side, when the
vilest men are exalted.
Little Rock (Ark.,) Gazette !:
Whether victorious or defeated, the
fact remains that the campaign de-
veloped, in the person of Mr.. Bryan,
the greatest leader the people have
had since the war. He is still young,
and will only be 40 years old in 1900.
If not now, then in the future the
country will have use for him.
Nashville American With hard
ly an exception those Democrats
who have been beaten in the recent
election are quietly and philosoph-
ically accepting the result. Hon.
Josiah Patterson has made strong
fight in the Tenth, was beaten and
should take his defeat like man

Hoarded money ought to come from
its hiding places and be put into cir
culation. We will all welcome a
profitable business change.
Meals State Gazette: Now that
the election is over, and while the
smoke of battle yet conceals the
killed and wounded, let us turn our
faces hopefully to the future. This
is great country and is not going
to the dogs just yet. The star
spangled banner still floats and the
right will finally prevail, while the
CHASTITY forebodings Of the melan-
choly man will soon be laughed
away, as they always are.
Richmond Dispatch: No matter
what was in store for William Jen-
nings Bryan in yesterdays great
struggle, when he closed his can
vass Monday night he had written
his name in the history of our coun.
try as one of the most remarkable
men of his day and generation-a:
one of the greatest spotentialities
in American politics. He demon.
strated that his powers of physical
endurance-which proved simply
marvelous-are only excelled by hi:
mental activity and ability to GRASP
and assimilate new ideas, and thai
his genius for finding and piercing
under any and all circumstances the
weak points in the armor of his enc

Nashville Sun: Thank God, anC
we say it reverently, Tennessee 1.
one of the States that refused tc
stand on the block and be auctioneC
off like a slave to Mark Hanna al
the highest bidder. Traitors anC
mercenaries within our borders and
enemies without have struggled il
