THE DEMOCRATS CARRY
MISSOURI.
THE MAJORITY is HEAVY.
From 10000 to 10000 for Bryan
stephens Runs Behind About 10000
Capital Removal Overwhelm-
ingly Defeated-Nearly All
the congressman Demo-
cratic -Vest Safe.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-According to the
latest returns there will be in the lower
house 81 Democrats, 20 Republicans,
IL Populists, 10 doubtful, II not heard
from. There were II of the "a Sena-
tors voted for. OF these the Democrats
captured IL, which, added to the 6
hold-over Democrats, will give them II
Senators, as against lG Republicans
and Populist.
This means the return of Vest or the
election of some other free silvOrite to
the United States Senate.
Republican newspapers concede that
the Democrats have elected twelve of
the fifteen Congressman in Missouri
The three congressman elected by the
Republicans are from st, Louis.
The presidential vote in st. Louis is
all in and stands: Bryan, 0,276; Nc
Kinley, 65, S45; lowering, 200; Palmer,
1877; Bentley, "a; McKinley's plurality,
1850.
Complete returns as to the state
have not yet been received, but the
Republicans concede the state to
Bryan.
Chairman Cook claims that BRYAN
will have $4,000 plurality in the state,
but Republicans do not concede any
where near that much.
Lewis ran ahead of Mckinley nearly
everywhere, and is defeated by far
smaller plurality than are the McKin-
ley electors.
The returns show n greatly increased
vote for both parties over 1892. The
Republicans seem to have gained in
the cities and the Democrats in the
country districts.
Chairman Cook, of the Democratic
state committee said to-day that the
returns so far as received indicated
that Bryan had carried the state bv
10000 to $4,000. He admitted that
Stephens had run at least 10000 votes
behind the silver champion. Bryan,
he said, would come to the Mississippi
river with $4,000 majority and Stephens
with 10000.
The proposition to remove the state
capital from Jefferson City to Sedalia
was defeated overwhelmingly, and it
will stay where it now is, for some
time, at least. The farmers voted
against the removal because they
feared it would entail expense upon
them.
1t is probable also that all of the
other amendment propositions are de-
feated

PIngree,s Remnrl,nhle Run.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 5,-The re-
markable run of Mayor Pingree, Gov
ernoi elect of Michigan, is perhaps the
most interesting feature of the Michi-
gan results. In spite of what had been
alleged to be all kinds of opposition,
both within and without his party, the
Detroit mayors plurality will exceed
that of the Mckinley electors by $4,000
to 10000 votes. Even in vicinities
where the railroad employees cut Pin
gree almost unitedly, his majority kept
pace with the rest OF his ticket, while
the rural districts went heavily for him
RS rule.
The Detroit Tribune free silver an
nounces that practically official returns
from 81 of the "a counties, with the re-
naming II counties closely estimated,
give Pingree plurality of $500.
Mckinley in the same counties re-
ceives $4,000. The results on Con-
gressmen are now established facts.
The Republicans elect ten of the
twelve.

CHAIRMAN MARTIN.
Grounds ON which lie Claims Indiana 10

Grounds ON which lie Claims Indiana for
MIR. Bryan.
INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Nov. 5.-Chair-
man Martin of the Democratic state
committee has received telegram
from the Democratic chairman of Mar
shall county, saying that in the esti-
mate sent from that county the
Democratic and Populist vote was not
aggregated, which would make diff
ference in favor of the Democrats of
over 800 votes kilograms from other
parts OF the state, Mr.. Martin says,
disclose similar condition. AS the
Populist vote in the state amounts to
10000, practically all of which the
Democrats claim, a future aggregation
of the vote would offset a plurality for
Mckinley of many thousands. 1t
would be some time before it can be
determined whether the vote has been
aggregated, and pending such knowl-
edge the state viii be in doubt.
The total Populist vote in the State
is 10000, and when it is added to the
Democratic vote it can easily be seen
that the total would wipe out McKin-
ley's present indicated plurality of
$4,000. The Republicans, of course,
pooh-pooh Chairman Martins charge
and claim the state by $4,000, but the
matter will be investigated and the
Democrats will get everything justly
due them or know the reason why.
Until it is definitely known whether
or not fusion was null flied by Repub-
lican action nothing can transpire to
materially change the plurality noted
above for Mckinley in Indiana.

Phenomenal Rainfall.

The most phenomnal rainfall re-
corded in the annals of Ohio took place
on the 18th day Of August, 1861. Mr..
s. B. Mcmillan, who gave an account
of this downpour, said it extended over
an area of at least 100 square miles.
The total amount Of water which fell
during the II hours of precipitation
was az inches, and Of that quantity
4.s inchs fell in four and half hours.
What is meant by a fall of 81 inches
Of rain in so short space of time will
be better understood when the reader
is informed that one inch of rain means
$4,000 gallons to the acre. This inn
mense quantity of water will weigh
100000 pounds, or 100 tonsl-St. Louis

West Virginia.

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 5.-Incom-
plete returns received during the day
continue to show Republican gains,
and there is no reason to change yes
terday's figures of $4,000 plurality. All
four Republican candidates for con-
gress are undoubtedly elected by in
creased majorities. Atkinson, Repub-
lican, for governor, and the entire Re-
publican state ticket, is elected, and
both branches of the legislature are
Republican. The gold Democrats gen.

wiping his knife and fork ON his nap

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-One thousand and
6fty-one precincts in Illinois outside Of
Chicago give Mckinley S24, 74O; Bryan,
1853, 974; Tanner, for governor, 170, 664;
Altgeld, 1872 1887. This would indicate
plurality for Mckinley in the state
of over 100000 and about $780, 900 for
Tanner over Altgeld.
The complete unofficial returns give
Mckinley a plurality in Cook county Of
67,536; outside of Cook county, 1880,
making his total plurality in the state,
1878. Tanners plurality over Alt
geld is estimated at 112,s45.

tering Upon an era of deprecated cur
rency. Not content with the Inaugural
ton of the ruinOus policy which has
brought down the wages of the laborer
and the price of the farm products, its
advocates now offer a new policy which
will diminish the value of money in
which wages and products are paid"
Some months ago we answered the
News for making the same proposition
as herein set forth, and closed with the
remark that the News didn't know any
more about finance than Bill Mckinley.
We didn't expect to see it verified so
soon. Here Mckinley speaks about u
policy that has brought down the wa
ges of the laborer and the price of
farm products, and winds up the same
sentence by saying their policy will
diminish the value Of money in which
wages and the price of products are
paid, which is equivalent to saying it
will raise the price of them. It Is evi.
dent TO anyone who knows the ele-.
ments Of economics, that whatever
brings down the value of the dollar
increases the price of those things
which are measured with it. 1t is pro-
verbal that cheap money and high
prices 90 together. When dollars are
cheap it requires more of them to buy
a given quantity of labor or products,
and prices are high, If Mckinley is 60
ing to condemn democrats for policy
which has brought down prices he
should surely not condemn them for
now attempting to cheaper money and
increase prices.

WHEN in 1858 liz debate with
Stephen A. Douglass, Abraham Lin
coin declared that this country must
either be all slave or all free, he was a
radical and was Immediately beset by
a great brood of politicians who were
afraid he was going to ruin the party
by telling the truth. Two years ago
when Bryan took incorporating
ground on the silver question, he was
denounced as a populist and fanatic
because he didn't wait to see what the
party's opinions were to be before he
found out what his were. There is re-
ally some of the same sort of stuff in
the two men.
