was an anomaly in American his
tory that a lawyer without a eli
entage, an editor without a newspaper, a
politician without party, man unknown
except by reputation which was far from
national, gained by two terms in Congress,
should, by the accident Of sensational
speech at a headless national convention,
become the nominee of a great party.
Franklin Pierce had at least the reputation
of being good lawyer.
Bryan's campaign has been even more
remarkable than his nomination. Desert
ed at once by all the men of ability and
substance in the Democratic party and by
the entire newspaper press of that party,
he became the mere voice of organizations
known as silverites, populists and anar-
chists He has doubtless addressed more
people during the campaign than any other
man who ever spoke in this country. Men
out of employment, out of money, and out
of all the necessaries of life, in their ex-
throngs in the vain hope that he would Of
fer something to relieve them from their
distresses. What has he offered? His
speeches would fill volumes; they contain
but one idea, namely, that a fifty-cent
piece is worth a dollar. His harangues
have been designed to excite the hatred
of the masses against all classes above
them either in respect to wealth, intelli-
gence or morals. He has not hesitated to
attack institutions of learning and even
the clergy as opposed to the inter-
ests of the common people, while aggregate
capital, whether in banks or other corpor-
ations, or in the possession of individuals
who chance to have more property than
their neighbors, has been the object of the
most virulent attack.
From the day on which Bryan left Lin
coin, Neb., to deliver his speech of accept
ance in New York until his return to his
home last Sunday he has given utterance
to no patriotic sentiment, no sentiment to
awaken in his audiences love of country or
to strengthen the bonds of union between
the different sections of the country. His
plan has been to turn men against the gov
ernment and destroy confidence in its in
stitutions.
Bryan's election would have been a ca
lamity to his own followers. The hope of
all laboring men is in restoration of bust
ness confidence and in a renewed activity
of our industries. His election would
have benefited only the silver-mine mil
lionaires, and them only temporarily. Par
tial reputation of public and private debts
by payment in a deprecated currency
would have caused public and private dis
aster and disgrace. Exit, Mr.. Bryan

The New York Sun Of last Sunday con-
tained vigorous article from the pen of
John H. Flagg of that city which admir-
ably "filled the bill'' as a final charge of
hot shot just as the campaign was closing.
Under the heading, SIS it treasonP" Mr..
Flagg exposed the real meaning and ami
mus of the attack of the Chicago platform
on government by injunction" and the
interference of national authority in local
affairs" These declarations, Mr.. Flagg said,
involved far greater dangers to the republic
than the free-silver heresy, and it was a
significant fact that nowhere in any of his
500 and more speeches dit Mr.. Bryan have
one word to say in cont emnation of the
Chicago riots or of those who aided and
abetted them.

fornia will be given to Mckinley and Ho-
bart. The number of electoral votes in
the Republican column will be at least 264
and probably will be 277, or SO more than
the 224 necessary for a majority.
The most significant and gratifying feat
ure of this splendid triumph is the fact
that the great states of the middle West
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa-polled
majorities which are absolutely conclusive
as to their position on the question of sound
money. The most ardent and enthusiastic
supporter of the free-silver propaganda
knows in his heart that the free silver her
esy is dead beyond hope of resurrection.
From this time on the business interests
of the country know on what financial
foundation they rest and on what assured
basis they may plan and build for the fut-
ure.
Only second to this in political interest
and importance is the break in the solid
South, with Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia and Kentucky carried safely into
the Republican column, and the result in
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Missouri such as to leave those states de-
batable ground for the future.
Next to the overthrow of Organism and
free-silver the defeat of Altgeld for re-
election as governor of Illinois is cause for
thanksgiving. Although it was conceded
that the presidential vote of Illinois would
be given to Mckinley, Altgeld's reelection
was confidently claimed The returns
show, however, that Tanner, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, has defeated
Altgeld by plurality which may prove to
be as large as McKinley's. 1t is sufficient
in any case to bury effectually the leading
exponent of anarchism in this country.
A feature of the result which would
seem incredible in any year but this is the
Republican plurality of more than $4,000
in New York city. This is the first time
that the city has ever been carried by the
Republicans, and it was done in the face
of Tammany's support of Bryan.
Hardly less surprising is the result in
Chicago where Mckinley had plurality of
so, 100 over Bryan, while Tanners plural
ity over Altgeld was 29,S76.
The other great cities of the country
Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Baltimore,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, De-
troit, Milwaukee, ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
st. Louis and San Franscisco-all stand in
solid array in the sound-mOney column.
1t is estimated that McKinley's plurality
on The popular vote will be nearly 1000, =
900.
Tha next Congress will have Re
publican plurality in the House exceedin G
100 and a majority over all estimated at
81. 1t is confidently believed that, with
the Republicans and sound-money Demo-
Gratis, there will be a safe majority for
sound-money in the Senate.
1t is a fact not to be lost sight of in the
general rejoicing that Vermonts phenom-
email and unprecedented majority of Al 900
for Mckinley and sound-money was put in
to the ballot boxes without the use of any
campaign machinery whatever. There were
no speeches or parades, and nothing was
done to arouse the voters. The vote
was the voluntary and uninhuenced ex-

Well Done, Maryland. .

Few states in the Union have behaved
more handsomely than Maryland. Sena-
tor German went to Washington Mon
day night and impaired to a chosen few
friends the information that Maryland was
sure to vote for Bryan. He declared that
he had never before been so sure of any
future political event as of this, and he ad-
vised his friends to make any wagers they
could on that outcome. Many of them
did so, and they will have, as a result,
something by which to remember Mr..
German. 1t seems that in addition to the
Republican plurality of $1,000 or $4,000,
the entire congressional delegation is Re
publican, and Gorman's retirement to pri-
vate life, at the expiration of his term,
March 4, 1899, is now clearly foreshadowed.

Four years ago at this date in November
the political conditions were exactly re-
versed, so far as party names are concern
ed-the Republicans were under the heap
while the Democrats were jubilant-and it
is one of the curious illustrations of the
ups and downs of American politics that
many thousands of the very Democrats who
were then shouting the loudest hosannas
rejoice today as fervently as any Republi-
can over McKinley's lection and the grand
triumph for our national integrity. Pa
triotism is stronger than partisanship, af-
ter all, no matter how we forget it some
times when the blood is up.

no doubt as to what it means.
