During the present month state
ments have been sent to such OF our
subscribers as are in arrears to the

ments of accounts are in pursuance
of the customary business policy,
and we hope our subscribers will
receive them with good will and
make as early response as possible.
IL any mistakes have been made in
any OF these statements of account,
the same will lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
Office.
During the last few years the
GRAPHIC has been lenient with its
delinquent subscribers, and at the
same time has changed from II

thereby giving it's readers two
papers week, with more reading
matter, for the former price Of one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted to us for subscription,
to settle the same at once without
further delay. The GRAPHIC needs
money and has earned that which is
due it, and there is no reason why
its subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts.
Those who are in arrears to the
GRAPHIC will therefore save them
selves time and trouble by settling
their indebtedness at once.

PALMER ON BRYAN.
Predicts The Nebraslsan WIN Abandon
the Democratic Name.

Rrediets The Rebraslsan VIII Abandon
the Democratic Name.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov 6.-Senator
John NJ. Palmer, National Democratic
candidate for president, last night gaze
the following statement to the Assori-
ated Press regarding the result of the
election
The Democrats who voted for Bryan
at the late election did SO with the
knowledge that he accepted the Populist
platform of 1892, as well as their plat
form adopted in St. Louis in 1896. The
National Democrats will never seek an
alliance with the Popuhsts I predict
that Mr.. Bryan, who voted for Weaver
in 1892, will soon abandon the Demo-
cratic name. His candidacy, which was
an example of unreasoning socialism,
was exploded by the election of MeKin-
ley at the late election. The issues of
the canvass were dictated to the Chicago
convention by combination of politi-
clans who are without principle and
only sought success. They had before
the Chicago convention met matured
plans for the nomination of the same
candidate by the Populists at st. Louis
Mr.. Bryan, thanks to the good sense and
integrity of the American people, is de-
feated. Democrats knew that e'proteo-
ton" as the Republicans call it, is fall
lacy, but they also knew that the unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at IS to 1 will de-
praye the American monetary system
and produce infinite mischief. They
have accepted the least of the two evils.
1 approve of their conduct and thank
the Democr ats who have voted against
Bryan and Altgeld, who are the repre-.
sentatives of a depraved currency and
social disorder. +"

Gus illustrations which are decidedly
interesting to one these days. One
illustration shows Abraham Lincoln
and friends awaiting news of cleo
ton returns; another shows the
raising of the flag of ''State Rights
at Charleston; another shows the
picture of Garibalda, the Italian
patriot. The old paper teens with
news relative to the prospective
war of the rebellion. It is an inter
esting relic and is highly priced by
Mr.. Schwartz.

BRYAN ON LIE RETURNS.
Read All Bulletins. but Did Not Worry
Over Them.


LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 6.-Mr. Bryan
last night gave out the following in
reply to numerous kilograms from all
parts of the country:
1.-The Democratic national COMMITTEES
claims enough states to give majority
in the electoral college, but e vote Is
very close in several of the states and
the result cannot be positively known
until the entire vote is counted. In all
close contests it is wise for both sides TO
watch the returns to guard against the
possibility of mistakes, intentional or
unintentional.
My Bryan, when pressed for some
thing more for the press, declined. In
conversation with friends he freely dis
cussed the probabilities, referring to the
closeness of the vote in several of the
states, and comparing notes with them
on the chances in Kentucky, Indiana,
West Virginia and other states Of APP
parently narrow margins
He read all bulletins with interest,
but in reply to questions said he was
not allowing uncertainty 20 cause the
least degree of worry. He spoke cheer
fully to all, but it became evident to
wards the latter part of the day he was
growing less and less hopeful. He was
especially gratified at the result in Ne
braska and took occasion to earnestly
congratulate the ehairmen Of the vari
