NOW FOR BUSINESS.

The battle of the ballots has been
fought and the victory claimed by both
sides. Complete returns from the dis
putcd states will in all probability be
necessary to determin the result. In any
event it is bound to he close in the cleo
toral college, and in our opinion the
popular vote also. Many Of the states
which give their electoral votes to Bryan
do so by large majorities. On the other
hand Ohio, for instance, which was
claimed for Mckinley by 10000 is now
only claimed by $4,000; Nebraska, which
was claimed for Mckinley by 10000 they
concesc will give Bryan over 5000. All
talk OF a popular majority for Mckinley
of one million is therefore the veriest
nonsense.
Let the result be what it may, how
ever, it is the duty OF all citizens to abide
their power to promote the welfare and
peace of the whole country, and it is the
glory OF the American people that, no
matter how fierce the contest, nor how
much passion RACES before election, her
seventy million people can settle down
to the every day affairs of life after the
contest is over. And the stagnation
which always proceeds a national election
will give place to the renewed activities
of business which invariably follow af-
forwards. Let progress be the watch
word.
