Wochenschrife and a prominent bime-
tallist leader, in an interview said: Il
have heard the news with unfeigned sor-
| row. The defeat of the silver movement
In the United States will undoubtedly
react unfavorably upon the bimetaillic
| movement in Germany and the rest OF
Europe. Still 1 do not despair. 1t viii
not be long deferred
The German newspapers this morning
had no news regarding the result Of the
| election. with the single exception Of tie
Lokalanzelger, in which there was five
lines announcing Major McKinley's VIC
tory. and tonight many Of the papers
| have no editorials on the subject
The stock exchange, however, was
| jubilsnt and keenly awaited the infor-
nation Stocks generally rose.
The Tageblatt this afternoon says: "a
nightmare has fallen from the breast OF
the whole civilized world Never before
has and election inspired similar inter-
est. Bitter judgment has been executed
upon the Democratic party because 1t
was unfaitnful to its principles. TIE re-
suit was awaited anxiously by all be-
lveing in the future and progress of
Democratic institutions. Rryan's vic
tory would have been celebrated by the
enemies of popular liberty throughout the
world and McKiniey's victory decides in
favor of those who believe in the ability
OF nations to govern themselves The
American people have again shown
themselves worthy of its traditions. Nc
Kinley means a restoration OF security
1t is true that the shadow Of his narrow
minded tariff policy threatens TO darken
the victory. but we hope he will Tot re-
peat the error while president"
The Hamburgisher correspondent re-
marks this afternoon: Europe and
Germany in particular. will view the
election Of Mckinley with satisfaction
since it is sure that the foundation Of
regular commercial intercourse and the
stability of the currency win thereby be
maintained"
Continuing, the Hamburgisher cor
respondent says it does not expect that
McKinley's policy will lead to an i'm
proveDlent of the relations between the
United States and Europe and it also
expresses the belief that the silver agi-
tation will not be destroyed by one blow.
The Boersenhalle, of Hamburg. ap-
proves the result as being in the inter-
ests of trade. and says it does not fear
an extreme protection policy.
The Cologne Gazette this afternoon re-
marks: "McKinley's energies have been
purified by the hard fight of the last
honest currency and the existing order
of things. The circumstances which
brought him into this position may keep
him from relapse to his former sins.
If the senate and the legislature par
alyze each others action on the tariff
and silver questions, he is the right man,
and the best wish that can be made for
him. and the people Of the United States
is that he may play negative role as
president, in the same way he did as
governor of his state
The Tages Zeitung, organ OF the
Agrarians, says: 'sThe victory has been
won by bankers gold and the great cap
italists who distributed incredible sums
among the electors. The result is prob
ably better for the bimetallists than il
they had won by small majority. They
have now time to organize for the cleo
in 1900.
The Pressing Zeituns says: 1.-The COM
mon sense of the Americans has tri-
umphed over an unprecedented agita-
ton. the success OF which would have
entailed unheard of misery to their
country. A considera BILE share of the re-
suit is due to the German-Americans,
who under Carl Schurz. were not to be
caught by Prince Bismarck's letter, and
voted for Mckinley
The National Zeitung says: "For the
present, an orderly development of af-
fairs at home is guaranteed to the great
republic while the foreign nations will
experience no such shock as Bryan's
currency policy would have entailed.
Bryan'S fiasco means another severe de-
feat for the bimetallists throughout the
world, and especially in Germany"
The North German Gazette states:
''From the point of view Of German in
terests, Mckinley, the man or prohibit
tive duties, can scarcely be regarded
with avor; but we should not have been
better off had Bryan won"
The Hamburger Nachrichten says:
''The action of the gold standard Demo-
Gratis has averted danger and the Eu-
ropean houses can breathe again in the
reassuring knowledge that their maniold
relations with the United States will con
tinue their old course
Das Volks Social says: ''The reformer
Bryan is in every respect a social re-
former. His opponents carved differ
emily. Mckinley is a kind OF merton
stumm. a brutal fighter for capitalists
and gold currency and all owners Of
American securities. Capitalist enter
prises were strongly interested in his VIC
tory. and the golden harvest now comes
for the bondholders, but the reverse for
the producing classes. In Germany Nc
Kinley will lead the Agrarian depres-
sion and our industry in shipping and
commerce will likewise suffer. McKin-
ley's election is an International calami-
ty."
