Bryan Congratulates Mckinley.


last night Mr.. Bryan received message
from Senator Jones saying that he con
ceded the election of Mr.. Mckinley. Mr..
Bryan said that he also conceded the
election and that he would issue state
ment tonight. Mr.. Bryan sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Maj. Mckinley:
Senator Jones has Just informed me that
the returns indicate your election and l
hasten to extend my congratulations. We
have submitted the issue to the American
people, and their will is law.
Mckinley on the Result.
Canton, O., Nov. GA representative
of the Associated press called on Maj.
Mckinley last night and found him in
his library chatting with friends who
were all feeling in excellent spirits over
the election. He asked him:
dow are you feeling. governor!'
Quite well, thank you. [ had a good
rest last night
'''To what do you attribute Republican
success?'
but l will say that I think the patriotic
efforts of the men of both the old parties
have brought about the result. Ardent
and de-oted have been the efforts Of
Republicans everywhere, equally pro-
nounced and helpful was the attitude
of the sound-mouey Democrats. Then.
the press of the country, the intelligent
and enthusiastic efforts of the great jour
nails of both parties have been a mighty
factor in the result and aid to the Re-
publican cause"
This is the only utterance Gov. McKin-
ley has made and the only statement of
a public nature he will make at the
present time.
Chairman Jones Statement,
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Chairman Jones
issued the following statement last
night:
''The result of the presidential cleo
ton is apparently no longer in doubt
1t has been one of the closest contests
that the people have been called on to
determine in recent years. We have
claimed the election OH our advices from
states that were admittedly in doubt, in
which we knew there had been many
frauds, and from which there were evil
dences of tampering with the returns
1t seems now to be apparent that while
Mr.. Bryan, after making the most bril-
liant campaign in the history of our
country, and having carried most of the
states claimed to be doubtful, has not
carried enough to assure his success in
the electoral college.
what defeated us was the action of
large employers in telling their men they
need not return to work on Wednesday
If Mckinley was defeated This unoues-
tionably lost us thousands of votes for
the man with wife and little ones can
not help being moved by prospect
which threatens to deprive him of work
and consequent means of support
but we have won a victory just the
same for [ do not believe any political
party in this country will dare include
the word gold in it's platform in 1000.
Whatever happens, however, we shall
not abandon our fight for silver which is
a just one, and one that is bound to
triumph

building on the Exposition grounds Of
the number named abou5 half were col

dress said that they were there as citi-
zens of union, established by our fore
fathers and were rhere to claim for
themselves the rights whioh were left to
the states when the federal constitution
was organized.
He continued: II regret to notice that
in this campaign an assault is made
upon what | believe to be the just consti-
| tutional powers of the national govern
| ment. The incident out of which this
| grows is what has come to be well shown
az the great Chicago riot. There in def
ance of law, both state and national,
great organized bodies of men acting in
dividually upon mad impulse, went
through the streets Of Chicago with fire
and sword, destroying property, inter
| rupting all railroads, stopping the pas
sage of the United States mail and the
| passage OF commerce between the states.
| The President of the United States,
Mr.. Cleveland, felt 1t his duty under the
| Constitution to use the forces of the
United States to open way for the pub
| lie mails and interstate commerce.. 1t
was as plainly his duty to do SO as any
duty that ever devolved upon public
official
"Does Virginia consent. DOES she
mean to express her consent this fall,
that the malls in Virginia may be
stopped by mob in any city Ut our
states and their delivery intercepted?' /
The remainder Of Mr. .Harrison's speech
was devoted to the discussing of the
finance question in it's various phases.
