SOUTH DAKOTA,

PIERRE Is. d., Nov. 4.-The returns
from South Dakota are exasperatingly
slow, and the indica tions are that the
State has perhaps gone less than LOCO
for either Bryan or Mckinley. All the
returns that have come in tonight
show Bryan gains.
Lawrence County, in the center OF
the Black Hills, has just reported a
majority of 500 for Bryan. The Repub-
licans having been claiming that county
all day. A majority of the counties
seem to have gone Populist, and the
Legislature seems to have a PCpulist
majority. The incomplete returns now
indicate that both Populist Congress-
men are elected, and probably the Pop
uliSt State officers.

Eleventh District with 13,476 plurality
Congressman Colson, Republican, who is
a candidate for reelection in the
Eleventh District, says he will carry it
by 1900. He has now 13, 429 plurality,
with five counties to hear from. This is
Mckinley's sole hope Of carrying Ken
lucky.
The following bulletin was issued by
Chairman Roberts tonight at IL
o'clock:
The Republican State Committee
claims Kentucky by 1000 majority. It
wired its County Chairmen to-day for
complete corrected footings by counties
and received returns from all but five
counties in the mountain section. These
unofhcial returns were classified by dis
trlcts with this result: The Democrats
will go to the Eleventh District, the Re-
publican Gibraltar, with 13 600 majority
in their favor. This mountain district
gave Governor Bradley little over H.
UUu majority last year, and has been
counted on all along for Il, 600 this year.
returns from over half the counties of
the district already assures considerably
over $4,000 Republican majority, upon
Which basis the committee is justified in
claiming the State by approximately
1,OOO majority. The official count Will
be made Thursday and Friday.
The sudden transfer Of Kentucky
from the sure Mckinley to the doubtful
column early this morning was caused
by Simultaneous report from a tier Of
counties in the west end of the State
where the Populists and free silver DEM
ocrats have full sway, which gave sur
prisingly large Democratic majorities.
All the important Democratic gains
were made in the four Congressional
Districts south and west of Louisville
where nine tenths of the Populists of
Kentucky are centered.
Among the Republicans who went
down in the Populistic wreck were Con-
gresham Hunter, who managed last
years campaign for Governor Bradley,
and Congressman Lewis, two of the
ablest campaigners in Kentucky poll
tics. In Louisville and Lexington and
in the Fifth, Seventh and Eleventh Dis
tricts the Republicans made brilliant
gains but they were almost wiped out
by the fusion in Western Kentucky.

THEN AND NOW.

Then the merle and thrush were singing
round the homesteads in the hedges
Wnere the fragrant hawthorn blossoms
Jay where Wtntry SHOWS had been,
Then the gorsy fires were blazing, and the
marsh lamps lit the sedges,
Then the meadow lands were smiling In
their robes Of gold and green.
Then your eyes were bluer, brighter than
the vtolets In the valleys,
And your sweet voice filed with envy
skylarks soaring out of sight,
And the pale, pink apple blossoms in the
orchards grassy alleys
By your blushing cheeks grew truly in a
moment wan and white.
Now the birds are silent, feasting where
the scarlet berries cluster:
Where the beech and oak are flaming,
love-lorn cushets sadly call;
Dreaming of the tropic splendors, swal-
lows on the house-tops muster,
And within the ancient orchard. red
checked apples earthward fall.
Now your eyes have lost their radiance,
and your voice has lost It's sweetness.
Now we've lads and Iasses round US,
bIithe and bonny. good and dear;
Spring and summer have departed with
amazing speed and neetness,
Now. dear wife, IT is the autumn OF our
lives, and of the year.
In the spring wooed and won you. In the
spring our troths were plighted,
When our hearts were brave and buoy
ant, and our love untried ana new;
Now in autumn through all sorrows, joys
and hopes fulfilled ard blighted,
Hand in hand we stand together bound
by love still fresh and true

assaiIed by the trusts. the corpora-
tions, the combines, the money power
through all OF its institutions, as rev
olutionist, the enemy of the national
honor, of courts, of orderly government
itself. To this opposition was added
that of the federal administration, many
of the foremost men of his own party,
and many of the most powerful news
papers of his own party. Going
straight before the people in the face
of this proposition he preached the
gospel of just money, equal rights for
all and special privileges for none
preached it with such sincerity, such
eloquence, such clearness, such force,
such calmness, such self-command
and dignity, that his appearances
among men wherever he went, in the
cities or out in the villages of the
farmers, set such fires of patriotism
burning that have not blazed since
armies were marching and the union
was being fought for. To millions Mr.
Bryan has become the personification
of the democratic principles of govern
ment, and to millions he will remain
the idolized tribune of the people
even in defeat. Only exalted genius
and magnificent courage could have
achieved and maintained the leader
ship of the great cause in the face of
the vicious onslaughts of the powerful
interests representing greed and gold,
that were enlisted to accomplish its
defeat by methods as INSCRIPTIONS
and as dangerous to the liberties of
the people as were ever employed in
an unholy conspiracy. The defeat of
Mr.. Bryan itself will not be as great
a calamity to the country, as the sue
cess of the disreputable and corrupt-
ing means used to accomplish it. The
hope of the future is that reaction
against the vicious use of money and
the employment of coercion and in
timidation may take place before it Is
too late to save the people from slnv-
cry to an oiigarchy. Let every honest
citizen, whether democrat or republic
an, resolve that the trusts, combines
and corporations controlling vast ag-
gregated wealth shall not appropriate
the fruits of the victory they have pur-
chased and bulldozed.

but he is not Inundated. The cause still
lives, and Bryan's splendid figure tow
ers above his opponents as the daUnt-
less exponent and champion of equal

greater in defeat than his successful OPP
ponent can be in the flush of victory.
The possession of the honors that now
seem about to fall upon Mr.. Mckinley
cannot bestow upon him a title of the

fame of the stalwart young hero who
bore the standard of democracy in the
proudest fight the party ever made in
behalf of its genuine Jefersonian prin-
cipies. Such d fight has never been
made in the history of the country.
Even the fight of Andrew Jackson in
his great contest with the United States

the discouragements Bryan has faced

A FEATURE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
HcKinIey's Inconsistency and HannA'a
Bosslsm.

McKinIey's Inconsistency and Hanna'a
Bosslsm.
One of the eastern PAPERS calls atten-
ton to one remarkable feature of the
campaign which has just been brought
to close. 1t is fact that the con-
test has been fought on issues entirely
apart from what were expected on
any hand few months before its
beginning. This is, 1t declares, some
thing for which no parallel can be
found in the history of the country.
There is one thing which is more re-
markable, and that is the position OF
the man who was nominated for the
presidency on the republican ticket. SO
far as the principal plank of the party's
platform is concerned.
Maj. Mckinley had stood out almost
in direct opposition to his party on tho
question of the currency. His speeches
in congress showed that he was in favor
of free silver; indeed, he had voted for
legislation favoring 1t. Prior TO his
nomination he had pleaded with thS
men through whom he obtained the
honor to leave the word gold out of the
declaration on the financial issue. It
was. only at the eleventh hour that il
was finally arranged to adopt the plat
form as it row stands. Instead Of
adopting q platform to suit the
nominee, platform was framed
without regard 10 the views OF
the man who was to stand upon
it, or rather with a knowledge of
the fact that it was one upon which he
could not consistently stand. Maj. Nc
Kinley accepted the nomination, swal-
lowed his words and has since been in
dulging in feast in which political
crow has formed the chief item.
There is one other thing remarkable
about the campaign. It is the first in
which new boss has, by the aid of un-
limited money, overthrown every old
boss of the party. It is also the firs4
time in which the ablest men of the
party have been compelled to retire be-
fore one whose claims to lead it consist
in his willingness to obey the orders of
any private interests with which his
managers have negotiated.-St. Louie
Republic.
