TENNESSEE.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 5.-The state Of
affairs in Tennessee is still very con-
fused and both sides are claiming the
state. All sorts of figures are being
telegraphed around over the state, many
of them absolutely false, and Republican
politicians are beginning to fear another
count out Great efforts are being made
to Illustrate the outrage, but with what
result remains to be seen.
East Tennessee has given the Repub-
lican ticket $4,000 majority, with few
precincts. probably dozen, yet to hear
from. These will increase the plurality
to probably $4,000. The Journal has
returns from forty-two counties that
show a net Republican gain of 28,575
over 1892 None of the Republican
counties in the Eighth congressional dis
trict are included in this and very few
of the Ninth, that is sure to show great
gains.

yesterday was whether the Mckinley ma

pected, while in the northern and CEN
trail counties McKinley's' majority was
somewhat augmented by late returns. At

neighborhood of $4,000. of which Cook

Bryan Congratulates Mckinley.

Lincoln. Neb. Nov, Cat 500 O'Clock
last night Mr.. Bryan received message
from Senator Jones saying that he CON
coded the election of Mr.. Mckinley. Mr..
Bryan said that he also conceded the
election and that he would issue q 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:
How are you feeling, governor?'
"Quite well, thank you. l had good
rest last night:
''To what do you attribute Republican
SUGGEST"
ooh, I don't care to be interviewed,
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-money Democrats. Then.
and enthusiastic efforts of the great jour
nails of both parties have been 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.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Chairman Jones
fO1ln c,f foy, 1,
night:
1.-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 on 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 unGucs-
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 victory just the
same for | do not believe any political
party in this country will dare include
the word gold in its platform in 1900.
Whatever happens. however, we shall
not abandon our fight for silver which is
a just, one, and one that is bound to
triumph"
