McKinley's Election Conceded.

Chairman Jones of the Democratic
National Committee issued bulletin
at Chicago, Thursday evening, giving
up the fight and conceding McKin
ley's election.
New YORK, Nov. SO 80 p. MA
United Press dispatch from Lincoln
Neb., at S:25 o'clock says Senator
Jones telegraphs to Mr.. Bryan that he
had given up the fight. Mr.. Bryan
said to the United Press representative
" You may say that the election o
Mckinley is conceded, and that will
issue statement tonight"
Mr.. Bryan then wrote the following
telegram:
"Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Canton, 0
Senator Jones has just informed mt
that the returns indicate your cleo
ton, and / hasten to extend my con
CALCULATIONS. We have submitted tn,
issues to the American people an,

There is a strong indication that
the Republicans have carried the ma
tional ticket, but the result is so close
that the friends of Bryan have been
reluctant to concede the battle mas
much as the returns have constantly
reduced the majorities claimed by the
Republicans in the city districts, and
the country returns have augmented
the vote for the valiant defender of
popular rights.
Conceding the worst, nationally, we
can at least hope that the bright
promises of peace and plenty that
have been so lavishly made by the Re-
publican party will he to some degree
realized. We know that the human
heart is wofully selfish and that avar-
ice occasionally develops that trait alb
normally. We realize that the spirit
of retaliation is another factor which
largely enters into and animates human
nature, and it is not beyond the limit
of reason to believe that stagnation of
business has in some degree been
brought about by that perverseness OF
mankind which impels him to punish
any infractions of what seems to him
to be one of those special prerogatives
accorded to wealth. There is no doubt
but that some factories have been
closed as "object lessons" just as we
have evidence that loans have been
called in and negotiable paper dis
counted under the plea that the I'M
certainty of financial values necessi-
tated such course, when the real in
tent has been to press the "crown of
thorns" upon the brow of those who
assumed to think for themselves and
vote for financial policy that would
if adopted reduce the prospect of ex-
orbitant profits on money. 1t may be
that now, the lerson has been SO inn
pressively taught, that organized CAPT
tai may again allow the halcyon con-
ditions of peace and plenty to prevail.
If therefore the hope of continued
harvest for wealth induces a slight re-
lease of the purse, there may be some
relief to suffering labor, and it may
result as an immediate effect in place
Of the slow but permanent benefit
that was expected from bimetallism.
Hope ever eternal springs from the
heart. May its yearnings be the pre-
cursor of those blessings our oppon-
ents have so predicted as an immed-
late result of return of confidence to
those who wave the magic wand of
wealth.

The Same Spirit.

During the late campaign the Re
publican party has had much to say
about anarchists" and dynamiters,
implying of course the venom in the
breast which would drive the dagger
to the heart of a neighbor or fire the
fuse that would result in destruction
OF his earthly possession. But occa-
sionally, in an unguarded moment,
the venom of party is shown to exist
with as much violence in one party as
the other.
This is illustrated by an incident
which occurred on the night of cleo
ton, after partial returns had been
received from over the nation as well
as some of our county precincts.
An old gentleman who occupies a
prominent position in the social and
business life of the city came to the
Peoples headquarters, and meeting
the writer at the door, inquired:
"What is the news?"
Well" was the reply, the returns
so far are mostly from the large cities
and are favorable to Mckinley; but
t-o
"Yes, yes" was the hearty inter
rrption, d" know Mckinley is elected
but how is the local ticket?"
"Well, we have only partial returns
from the city wards, but in all but
the First, the Peoples ticket is ahead
and in that they are coming about
even."
Is that SOP" was the inquiry in a
tone of surprise.
"Yes; and the returns from Mud
Bay show that 60 votes were cast
Mckinley receiving 9 and Bryan 81"
Fools" shouted the old gentle.
man in a frenzy of rage, "haven't
they bit of sense?"
Then hastily readjusting his we'll
worn mask of expediency, he drifted
away probably oblivious of the fact
that the momentary lapse of caution
had exposed the cavernous regions of a
heart that was reeking with the poi.
sonous venom engendered by Avarice
and Greed, the murderous spirit OF
the freebooter who flies the skull and
cross-bones as the badge of his trade

lie. But is there any wonder that
the gold power resorted to bribery and
intimidation when an occasional
heart laid bare, of an apparently
peaceable and most respected citizen
betrays the existence of a rancor tina,
but needs the incentive of passion tc
vest it with the incentive of murder.

The dispatches announce that rail-
road shops, car works, factories and
mills all over the country are prepar-
ing to start up and run on full time.
All their owners wanted was an ac-
knowledgement that Capital was
King. Now that they have it, and
that Banker Forsythe's suggestion that
the fnanciers of the country make
our laws and select our rulers has been
adopted, no more trouble need be an.
ticipated unless the people become 50
presumptuous as to want "pie" for
dinner.

might have read the handwriting upon
the wall at the Everett Belshazzer
feast. Never did a party work more
deliberately to encompass political sui
eide. With such cause to advocate
and such candidate to lead the ticket,
it was indeed presumptious to make a
pretense of claim for support.

A CLERK in one of the State offices
it is reported, has said that his dutie,
are so complicated that the the new
administration cannot do without
him. That may be a very proper
means to adopt to hold on to the
position, if that is the object, but
there are few who will regard it as
such, and his "walking-papers" will
probably be the first made out.

"WHO struck Billy Patterson"

Illinois gave Mckinley heavy ma
jority-probably 100000.
North Dakota has probably given
Mckinley small majority.
Massachusetts plurality for McKin-
ley is 16S,775 New Jerseys $4,000.
Tennessee will probably on full re-
turns give small Democratic plural
ity.
North Cardinals majority for Bryan
will be from 1900 to 10000 on official
count.
Colorado, from almost complete re-
turns gives Bryan III 900 and McKin-
ley $4,000.
South Dakota is pretty even on
Presidential returns-the official vote
must decide.
The People have carried Kansas by
1000, and the Legislature is two
thirds fusion.
Ohio Republicans claim the State
by $4,000 plurality. They coucede
three Democratic Congressman.
McKinley's plurality over Bryan in
New York city is given at 1859. Five
out of eight Congressman are Demo-
Gratis.
Missouri elects the whole Demo-
cratic ticket by plurality of 10000,
and 10000 for the Bryan electoral
ticket.
1t is thought that the Republicans
will get one elector from Wyoming,
from arrangement of names on the
ticket.
The Republicans are so paralized by
State and county results that they

Bryan has undoubtedly carried Ne |

ernor and State ticket.
Bryan and the Democratic State
ticket have undoubtedly carried Ne
vada, but the returns are incomplete |
and no majorities can be given.

been q Mckinley Republican elected
to the Legislature, nor to any State
Office.
Senator Elkins authorizes the fol-
lowing: From the returns and the
best estimates the Republicans carry
West Virginia for the national ticket
by about 1900 majority. All four
members OF Congress and two-thirds
of the legislature are Republican.
Utah sends two women to the Leg
islature: Mrs. Euritha R. LaBarth to
the House and Mrs. Martha Hughes
Cannon to the Senate. They were
both elected ON the Democratic ticket.
The State returns, so far, are five to
one for Bryan, and the Legislature
stands IS Democrats to s for the OPP
position and in doubt.
Forty precincts out of forty-five in
Lewis county give Mckinley 1919,

1.4l5, Elliott Populist, 800 majority
for Superior Judge. The Populist elect

THE performance of Fabio Romani,
at Olympia Theater, Wednesday night
was delightful change from the usual
class Of performances to which the
public have been so long treated.
There was enough of the tragic about
it to stir up the sensibilities of the
audience to the higher pitch. The mad
scene in the last, where the heartless
beauty, " Nina" is imprisoned in the
tomb, was splendid piece of acting.
The fire and serpentine dances, illum-
ined by calcium light and with stereop-
ticon effects was scene of beauty never
to be forgotten. 1t is to be regretted
that, owing to the political craze, the
attendance was SO light.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY SERMON.

The Grand Army post and kindred organ
izations attended services at the Universal
list church last Sunday morning, as APP
pointed. There were effective decorations
about the pulpit, of flowers, plants and
the national colors. The church was
crowded
Mr.. Maxwell's text was from Exodus
XIV, 3; THE Lord is a man of war;" All
progress, the speaker said, has been neces-
sarily and inseparably connected with
strife, with the decline and humiliation of
inferior forms and forces, and the eeva-
ton and survival of the stronger and supe-
rior. The great law of advancement
through competition. strife, warfare, holds
good everywhere. Go back into prehis-
toric times and you will find that the prin-
cpal occupation of the savage was fight
ing, tribe against tribe, and nation against
nation; and in historic ages you confront
the same great struggles and conquests:
people strong enough to triumph over
their neighbors and enemies flourished and
survived until more vigorous and virile
race appeared and exterminated them as
they had their interiors. But there has
been an evolution in warfare. AS intell-
gence and Christianity have come to exer-
else larger authority wars have become
less frequent, they have been entered into
more advisedly, they have been conducted
more humanely, and ultimately war is des-
tined to fall into complete desuetude, and
the ideal theory, arbitration, will become
universally operative.
The Lord is indeed a man of battle, and
today he is fighting each and every evil in
private and public life, working continually
TO realize here in America an ideal state of
society. The primary reason of Christian
ity is simply to cultivate in every commun-
ity higher and more unselfsh social spir-
1t, so that every citizen may have his in
alienable rights protected, his labor fairly
and adequately rewarded, and his individ-
ual liberty established. Therefore the
first religious duty of every man is to be a
good citizen. There are many and serious
dangers menacing the republic. Those in
connection with corruption in elections,
with unrestricted immigration, with fraud
ulent monopolies and trusts, with the rum
traffic are all apparent. There are battles
TO be fought in these coming years; battles
for an honest vote, an honest government,
and an honest and impartial enforcement
of law, regardless of any special private in
terests or privileges. The call is for a
Grand Army whose members by voice, by
ballot, and by life will enter this great CON
test for more righteous society, and more
redemptlve social conditions.
