ECKELS ON THE RESULT.
Says Election Means That People are
in Favor of Paying Debts.

Chicago, Nov. 4-Comptroller Eckels
who was at the National Democratic
headquarters. said:
Il think the result is just what might
have been expected. Whenever the
question has been put to the voters;
VIII the American people pay their
debts2' it has always been decided that
they would. We pay our debts The
nation pays it's debts. The Importance
of the result in the business world is
that it means the rehabiliment Of Amer
lean credit abroad. That means that
investors are willing to put their idle
capital in our enterprises.
This election means the complete re-
organization of the Democratic party
For a long period Of time the DemOcra-
cy has been the haven and refuge for
every element of discomfort in the cOun-
try. 1T had to be reorgaized, and now
it is as good as at any other time. The
Democratic politicians will learn from
this election that it is better to have the
business interests with them than to
have the disturbing elements"

STILL IN THE BALANCE

Twenty-four hours ago the Republi-
cans were claiming everything In and
out Of sight, but as a matter Of sober,
honest fact the fate of the presidential
election still hangs in the balance. The
tables in several states were yesterday
50 completely turned that the electoral
votes for Mr.. Bryan began to grow,
with astonishing rapidity. even in the
hands Of the most sanguine Republican
statistician.
The result IL still matter Of conjec-
ture, and present indications point that
the vote Of California may decide the
issue. According to the following COM
putation California may bring up the
Republican column to 229 or the Demo-
cratic to 227, in either event deciding the
issue.
But 1t should be remembered that in
only few Of the states are there any,
thing like full returns, as yet, and ac-
cordingly the computations of either
party must be accepted with grain of
salt

Charles A. Barlow, without any doubt,
has carried the Sixth congressional dis
trict and will be our next representative
at Washington. From present indica-
tions Mr.. Barlow's majority will be a
substantial one. A lesson has been read
to such time-serving politicians as Mr..
McLachlan, and he will now have an
opportunity in private life for season
to finally determine his Convictions
and to be able in the future to reconcile
them to political opportunity.
The fusion candidate, representing the
cause Of free silver. has been elected de-
spite the campaign of abuse and scorn
that the local Republican press indulged
In. The vote of the 5000 Free Silver Re-
publicans in this county, whom also,
the Times and Express delighted to
vilify, has been in large measure re-
sponsible for this grand result.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
; TO THE EDITOR :

EAST SIDE BOYS.

Editor Herald: In the issueof your
paper of the I'd inst. there appeared an
article from some one who signs himself
East Side," in which he asks your ad-
vice as to what he should do in order 10
suppress the disturbances in his neigh
borhood, which he alleges are caused
py the boys who attend the Sacred Heart
school. 1t does not require the mind of
statesman to discern the spirit whicn
actuated the publication of this article
nor to determine the mental caliber of
the individual who wrote it, ard who
thus attempts to cast a slur on the chill
dren who attend this school, and Incl
dentally on their parents and teachers.
1t also ISLANDERS a most worthy and ef-
iclent officer, because perhaps he does
not look on matters of this nature with
the jaundiced and prejudiced vision of
East Side" 1t seems remarkable that
the prosecuted individuals who live in
this neighborhood have not, ere this,
adopted the simple and practical plan
which you suggested in the heading to
the article of East Sides" viz, to
complain to the teachers of this school"
and failing in that, they should have
laid the whole matter before our captain
of police of the East Los Angeles sta
ton, who would have given the matter
his prompt attention. l have resided

the annoyance that can be caused by a
troop of school children in their exuber-
ance of spirit at being dismissed from
school, but if their excess of spirit had
degenerated into malicious mischief the
last thing that l would have thought of
doing would have been to rush into print
and ask the advice of the editor as to
the best course to pursue. before con-
sulting the teachers of the school, the
parents of the children or the police au-
thorities Of the district in which re-
sided. 1t is fortunate for the editor of
The Herald that the political campaign
is over, for If he is to have forced upon
him the position of grand chief adviser
to every disgruntled individual who has
real or an imaginary grievance fear
that he will have but little time to de-
vote to his other duties. AS for the two
dozen boys whom he speaks of as at
tending the school, would inform him
that his estimate is thirty-four short of
the correct number, there being just
fifty-eight boys in this school,

All of these schemes Of multiplying

interest to American railway builders
and American manufacturers of railway

of their own country, American builders
should be able to compete with any in
the world, and in Asia and Africa should
find before long attractive opportunities
for the employment of their labor and
capital. And in the frequent sale Of
American steel rails and American roll

the Populist candidate. and the votes un-
der the Democratic emblem should be
counted as the total vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate. The total should not
aggregate the votes cast under both en-
blems.
Instruct your inspectors and judges
to firmly refuse to add the total votes
together in any event under the Populist
and Democratic emblems. Yours truly,
JOHN X. GOWDY, Chairman.
II as member of the state board of
election commissioners, have been asked
by several persons who have been ap-
pointed to act as election inspectors to
give them an opinion as to whether
they, as such inspectors, shall follow the
instructions contained in the said COM
munication.
Believing that the opinion of the at
torney general of the state should gov
ern and control the question. rather than
mine, I respectfully ask that you fur
nish me with your opinion as to whether
the said communication correctly states
the law, and whether under the election
law inspectors and election officers
should follow the instructions contained
in the said communication.
"R. o. HAWKINS,
Member State Board of Election Com
missioners."
Attorney General Ketcham received
this letter, and a few hours later sent
Mr.. Hawkins the following official opin-
ion:
"R. o. Hawkins, Member State Board
of Election Commissioners-De Sir:
Answering your inquiry as to the duty
of election boards in canvassing votes,
1 beg to say that in my opinion where
board finds votes cast for a particular
candidate 1t is bound to canvass and re-
port all votes legally cast for him no
matter under what party name or desig-
nation 1t appears.
ITO take an extreme case, If a candi-
date was named upon each of the seven
tickets appearing upon the state ballot
it would be the right of the candidate,
although there was no opposition to
him at ALL to have all the votes that he
has received credited to him, and 1t
would be the duty of the election board
to aggregate all of such votes, and to
fail to do so would clearly be violation
of their official duty.
THE object of election laws is to as
certain in a proper and large manner
who of all of the candidates have re-
ceived the largest number of votes, and
whenever any candidate has received
the largest number of votes he is en-
titled to the Office without reference to
the source from which these votes or any
portion OF them came.
IA candidate is not elected or de-
feated because he is Republican, Dem
ocrat or Populist, but because he has re-
ceived or failed to receive the largest
number of votes cast for that particular
office. The designation upon the ballot
of the different parties and the differ
ent devices is simply method of aid
ing the people in voting, and it is not a
method nor should it be made an excuse
for depriving any candidate of any vote
that may be cast for him under any des-
ignation or device whatever.

The Bryan men, and they number
thousands, had an inning yesterday,
and they took advantage of it in a way
which indicated that they were quite
confident that Mr.. Bryan was elected
and it certainly looks very much as
though he was.
1t never failed in a presidential elec-
ton that the first duty of the party or
parties who disseminate election news
in the east is to send out large fat bull
letins announcing the certain election
of the Republican candidate for presi-
dent.
This has never failed for the last
twenty-four years, but on two occa-
sions the party or parties sending the
news out to this effect have been COM
PEELED to take it all back.
This will have been the third time
within twelve years when 1t has been
necessary to ultimately contradict that
which was originally promulgated.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
the news from the central states became
more encouraging.
1t went to show that the Republicans
had been manufacturing the count, and
that the Populist vote was not being to-
taliZed
The Bryan men began to gather and
discuss the matter and the probability
of Bryan's election.
AS the evening wore on crowd gath
cred on Third street in front of the busi-
ness office of The Herald to discuss the
situation.
Bulletins were posted in front of The
Herald office and in the evening the
views were thrown ON a canvas. giving
the exact facts to vast multitude.
The throng was there and it was Wild

delectaton of a crowd of thousands.
And the way that they yelled for Bry-
an and silver it would have made your
heart glad to hear.
The crowd staid faithfully during the
entire evening. eager and expectant,
waiting people. There were numerous
ladies in the assemblage.
At Silver Republican headquarters a
large crowd kept vigil during the entire
day waiting for bulletins. They feel
confident that Bryan is elected, and the
chances are that he is.
