Bryan's Fight Not Ended, Says
London.
Julian Ralph in The New York Journal
LONDON, Nov. 4.-You could tell
how much these people have invest
ed in America by the excitement
here over the Presidential election
Life has been a burden to every
American here because of the fren.
zied inquiries of wealthy women
wanting to know about the election
prospects. Had you been here you
would have thought that if Bryan
was elected the United State would
have shut up shop and gone out of
business.
Their interest was so intense that
this morning not only were twenty
columns of news about the election
published in the London papers,
but three of them actually posted
bulletins in their front office win
dows, exactly as 1 remember they
used do on the Tribune in Greeley's
time. This afternoon, instead of
columns, the newspapers have
whole brOadsideS.
What so reused England was the
wholly Democratic espousal of sill
yer, and the social aspect of the
situation escaped attention, for
England heeds most quickly what
ever toches her pocketbook. With
bimetallism in the forfront, even
war in the Soudan and Armenian
agitation took back seats.
NONE SPOKE FOR BRYAN.
With two exceptions New York
correspondents of the English
papers tried to bull the English
into perturbed, uncertain calm by
declaring Mckinley elected weeks
before the voting took place. Bry-
ans position was not explained by
a single New York correspondent or
defended by a single English news
paper, because bimetallists have no
organ.
Therefore the hedging of all the
correspondents, except the Pail
Mall Gazette's threw England into
a condition approaching panic,
which lasted until this noon, when
the public was made certain of
McKinley's undoubted victory.
Now that the strain has been
taken off, the newspapers have sud
denly discovered several fact never
divulged to their readers during
the campaign. They now announce
serious discomfort among the poor.
They declare that this has sound
basis and excuse, and they explain
that Bryan voiced this state of
affairs and championed those who
complained.
THE FIGHT NOT YET FINISHED.
Three evening newspapers before
me on my desk assert that the fight
led by Bryan is not finished, but
just begun. The st. James Gazette
says:
"Triumphant Republicans will
naturally write and speak as if BIZ
metallism, reputation, 10 to l,
poor mans dollar and all the other
dangerous cries that have convulsed
the country during so many months
have been buried forever, under
the ruins of the old Democratic
party, but the English, with the
longer experience of the social
question, will assert a different
opinion. Behind the silver move
ment was a feeling of popular dis.
content with the established order
of things. We may hear little
more of Bryan, but the movement
will take more than one defeat to
kill it, and it is likely to assume
forms still more revolutionary"
The Evening News thinks this is
only the first sound, and that the
fight will go ON and may ultimately
be won by the party that has just
been showed under.
