AUSTRIAN COMMENT.

Vienna. Nov. 4.-(Copyrighted, 1896,
by the Associated Press. 1.-The Ncue
Frcie Presse, commenting today on the
says: 1t is doubtful if Mckinley will be
able to continue the protective policy
since he was elected by both projections
lists and free traders. McKinlcy's victo-
ry is to the advantage of all civilized peo-
pie. His defeat would have meant the
beginning of a social confusion, which
would scarcely have been confined to
America
The Fremdcnblatt says: The defeat of
the silverites was so severe that it has
permanently killed their chances.
The Tageblatt says: The result is re-
assuring for the whole world.

Mr.. Scwal is willing to concede the
election of Mcliialey, SO the dispatches
said yesterday morning, but he added:
1--WE are in for four years more of a gov
eminent by injunction" Certainly Mr..
Sewall, "a government by injunction
means government by law. 1t is Il
good thing for Bryan that Sewall was
not allowed to talk for publication until
after the election. A government by in
junction, forsooth. The writ of injunc
ton is just as much used as any other
form of writ, and it is especially neces-
sary to head off keen rascals who are
sometimes too fast for the regular court
process. The American people have re-
proved all such miserable twaddle by too
large a popular majority for it to be at
tempted to be rung in again in any ma
tional contest.

cy. All civilized nations will profit by
the outcome of the election and especially
Germany, owing to the intimate import
ant commercial and economic relations
with the United States"
The German newspapers this morning
had no news regarding the result of the
elections, with the single exception of the
lines announcing Maj. McKinley's Veto
ry and tonight many of the papers have
no editorials on the subject.
The Stock EXcange, however, was ju,
bilant and keenly waited all informa ton.
Stocks generally rose.
The Tageblatt this afternoon says:
A nightmare has fallen from the breast
of the whole civilized world. Never be-
fore has an election inspired similar in
tercst. Bryan's victory would have been
celebrated by the enemies of popular lib
crty throughout the world and McKin-
ley's victory decides in favor of those
who believe in the ability of nations to
govern themselves. The American peo-
pie have again shown themselves worthy
of American traditions. Mckinley
means II restitution of security. 1t is
true that the shadow of his narrow-mind-
cd tariff policy threatens to darken the
victory, but we hope he will not repeat
them while president.
The Hamburger Correspondents re-
marks this afternoon:
Europe, and Germany in particular,
will hail the election of Mckinley with
satisfaction, since it is sure that the foun-
dation of regular commercial intercourse
will be maintained
The Cologne Gazette this afternoon
says:
McKinlcy's energies have been purified
by the hard fight of the last few months
as the representative of honest currency
and the existing order of things. The
circumstances which brought him into
this position keep him from a relapse to
his former sins. If the state and ma
tional legislatures paralyzc each others
action in the tariff and silver question,
he is the right and the best man for the
people of the United States.
The North German Gazette says:
From the point of view of German inter
ests, Mckinley, the man of prohibtive
duties, can scarcely be regarded with
favor. but we should not have been bet
ter off had Bryan won.
The Hamburger Nachrichtcn says that
the action of the gold standard democrats
has averted danger, and we European
houses can breathe again in the assuring
knowledge that their manifold relations
with the United States will continue in
their old courses

FRENCH COMMENT.


Paris. Nov. 4.-(Copyrightcd, 1896, by
the Associated Prcss.)-The election i'll
the United States was received with
great interest in France and is comment
cd upon at great length.
La France says: Europe has little rca-
son to rejoice. Mckinley means an era
of protcctionism.
lie Temps remarks: The republicans
must not thank themselves entirely. Not
they. but the splitting up of parties, the
coalition of various interests and the up
rising of consciences gave the victory to
Mckinley. who only won fructuary vic
tory and he will be exposed to an awak-
ening if he tries to exploit it beyond
measure of profit for protectionists or his
own fads. 1t is an advantage that he
will have time to digest his success. draw
up program and form a cabinet. We
shall see if he understands sufficiently the
significance of what has occurred, and if
he is able to rise above paltry action of
party spirit in order to worthiy repre-
sent the great national movement which
carried him into power.
lie Jour anticipates that the first re-
! suit will be cessation of the crisis which
has been let loose upon the business
world since Bryan was nominated, adj
ding: America has escaped Il great
peril thanks to the wisdom of the cleo
tors"
La Libcrte believes that Mckinley
tariff will not be rc-cstablshed.
La Republique Francois says: The
practical result will be return to a
prohibition customs regime from which
England and Germany will be the chief
sufferers.
1t adds: In regard to the currency
policy, it is believed that the establish
ment of the double standard can only
result from an international agreement
which England can not refuse to take
part in.
lie Journal DIES Dcbats remarks: The
result has delivered America from &
great peril. 1t could not be matter OF
Indifference to the general welfare thai
one of the richest and most active ma
tons was to be plunged in ruin and prob
ably menaced by violent disorders ant
misery arising from the stoppage of work
1t is true that McKinleys success may
lead to economic revisions. for his name
is synonymous with economizing protec
ton, which, with the monetary uncer
tainty, contributed to create a crisis il
the United States. But one must Away:
choose the lesser of two evils, and W,
hope that protection will prove NOR
beneficial now that the great evil ha
been ayerted. Gold has carried the day
but unless the government seeks to sat
isfy the demands of the agricultural pop
ulation of the far west the movemen
will end by carrying away all the dyke
erected by the great gold operators

HOW GROVER VIEWS 1T.

And the day after the glorious election
that has placed our nation squarely and
positively on the side of sound and
honest money, it was very meet and
proper for President Cleveland to issue
his national Thanksgiving proclamation.
We have not had very much cause to be
thankful this year of lack of business
confidence and general financial strin-
gency, but now, since the nation has SO
pronounced for sound money and ,,ood
business methods that will revive COM
merce and open the mills and factories
and produce general prosperity, it is very
fitting for Cleveland to seize such an OPP
portunty as the most appropriate pos
sible to call the attention Of the nation
to the fact that we should be grateful at
least once year. If you will read the
proclamation carefully you will also see
a display of very keen sense of humor,
as well as national congratulation over
the victory sound money has scored.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-05

Money on call yesterday in New York
ut IL to 4 per cent. What Il differ
encc, when n few days ago it was up to
102 per cent! Does not this show in
striking outlines one good effect of vic
tory for sound money and stable iinan-
cial conditions? With perfect freedom
from so much political trouble, dissen-
sion and utterly needless disturbance,
what a grand and prosperous nation this
would be,
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-05

One lesson that should be learned from
the results of this campaign and election
is that the American people will not cast
their votes upon prejudice or while in
famed by the specious pleas of oratory.
At one time in this campaign, perhaps,
had vote been taken the result might
have been different from what it is to-
day. But the American people always
demand time for second sober thought.
They heard discussed the financial ques-
ton this year with perhaps more
thoroughness than any question has ever
before been discussed before them. They
have given their verdict at the polls not
in ignorance, but fully advised of the
merits of both sides Of the important
question. This being so, it must be
taken as positive that we should hear 10
more of the free silver issue, but our
nations finances should be adjusted
along such lines as have been blazed by
the wisdom of the ages and as are com
mended by the wisest saws OF politica
economy. We should in every way BE-
in touch with the conduct of the mos
progressive nations of the earth. An'
we will be.

IRISH INSULTED

Omaha, Neb., Nov. John T. lrlsn
of California, with a SPECIAL tram
carrying many noted gold standard men !l
of Nebraska, followed MT. bryans CT
cult through Nebraska today and ad-
dressed thousands of voters. His receP,
ton was most enthusiastic. AT all
stops, and in almost every instance, en-
thusiastic silver men shouted and made
efforts to disturb the speaker.
At Sutton a disturbance was caused ny
the women who came to the depot in
crowds with their children and would
not let Mr.. Irish speak for some time.
Finally, when he did secure hearing, a
number of silver men took off their
badges and listened respectfully. When
the train first arrived an enthusiastic
silver man drew revolver when told
to keep quiet but was promptly knocked
down. and remained still thereafter.
Irish closed the campaign in Lincoln
tonight.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-05

The president of the United States
ought to set apart by public proclamation
day of prayer and thanksgiving to AL
mighty God for interposing His hand and
ayerting the wholesale disasters TO this
people that would have followed the
election of the speculative and theoretical
rhetorician of Nebraska. We have rea-
son TO be grateful to God.

When things looked darkest, when Mr.
es into madness against the well-to-do by
his burning eloquence and it looked as
| if civil war might be the result, The
Statesman declared, and often reiterated,
its entire confidence in the honesty and
patriotism of the voters Of this country.
On the 3rd of November, 1896, if never
before, the people of this country demon
strated their ability for self government.
Nay, more, they demonstrated their in
herent and intrinsic honesty. They
showed how clear were their heads, how
pure were their hearts.
Perhaps two-thirds of them are in
debt They scorned taking advantage
of the ballot to reduce that debt by the
adoption of an inferior and deprecated
currency. They declared by their votes
that this government has the right to
defend and enforce its laws-that it is
not mere shadow but that within its
sphere it is paramount. The ballots We're
piled high around the United States SUI
preme court, every ballot a pledge that
the voters body would stand in defense
of the integrity of that court against
any attempt to reconstruct it by partisan
power. These votes pledged all the prop
erty and the sacred honor Of this people
to sound money for all time. Oh, it was
glorious victory-not of party but of
principle.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-05

That Americans are in many ways Il
mercurial people is never better illustrat-
cd than at election times. About that
time you can hear them declaring with
all the emphasis of heated enthusiasm
that unless things so their way the ma
ton will most certainly 80 to the dem
milton bow vows" Yet the moment they
learn Of the defeat of their side they
wreathe themselves in smiles and say
that it is for the best after all. And this
is very well. All of us can not have our
way all the time, and those of lis who
are defeated must learn to take it with
the best kind of resignation. To give
and take in the best kind of spirit is one
of the distinguishing characteristics OF
the Yankee or the great American people
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-11-05

And now comes Vice Chairman Stevens
of the silver party and says the defeat
is not defeat of silver but of the other
isms contained in the Chicago platform.
Well, allow him TO lay what hattering
junction he can to his bleeding heart.
The great American people fully under
stand the situation and know that free
silver is done with in this country.
