most brilliant campaign in the history |
Of our country, has carried most of the |
states claimed to be doubtful, but has
not carried enough to assurehissuccess
in the electoral college. Bryan electors
have been chosen in all the states south
Of the Potomaea and Ohio, except West
Virginia, and all those west of the
Missouri except California and Oregon.
He has 1870 electoral votes, and this
number may be increased by final re-
turns from states yet in question.
'This remarkable campaign closes
with the election of William Mckinley.
The result was brought about by every
kind of coercion and intimidation on
the part of the money power, including
threats of lockouts and dismissals and
impending starvation by the employ
ment of by far the largest campaign
fund ever used in this country, and by
the suborination of large portion of
the American press.
"The president-elect and his party
are under pledge to the American peo-
pie to continue the gold standard. and
by its operation to restore prosperity to
this country. As chief executive, Mr..
Mckinley will have the cordial support
of the millions of patriotic Americans
who have cast their votes for William
J, Bryan. They bow to the majesty of
the Office, and abide by the result, with
none of the mutters that would have
come from the money power had it
been unsuccessful. They are confident
the gold standard can not give the
promised prosperity, but will gladly
welcome it if it comes. They will con-
tinue the great struggle for the uplift-
ing of humanity and the maintenance
of the dignity of our country in the
establishment of ON American monetary
system. And the democratic party,
aided by its political allies, will still
uplift the bimetallic standard and bear
it to victory. JAS. X. JONES.

DANIELS PRAISE OF BRYAN.
WISDOM OF THE NOMINATION, HE THINKS,
HAS BEEN INDICATED.
Virginia Senator's View of Republican Vie
tory -McRlnleyism viii nisappOint
Its Many vctaries.

Richmond, Va, Nov. G,-Senator
John W. Daniel, who wasthe Temporal
ry chairman of the Chicago convention,
today telgraphed here from Lynch
burg his views of the result of Tues
days election, Maj. Daniels successor
is to be chosen by the legislature elect
ed in Virginia next year.
''There is" says the senator, mo
reason for true democrats to be cast
down. The party was overthrown two
years ago by an unprecedented major
ity, and started this campaign handi-
capped by pm administration which
had gone in partnership with its ene-
mics. Notwithstanding this, it has
made decided gains in congress, and
considering that the Bryanites' great
leader fought against wind and tide
the result is the most marvellous
achievement of American politics. The
wisdom of the democrats in the nomi-
nation of Bryan has been vindicated.
He has compelled the respect of his
foes, endeared the hearts of his friends,
and upheld our cause with tireless en-
ergy, noble eloquence, and unanswera-
BILE logic. He is today the foremost
citizen of America First in peace and
and first in the hearts of his country
men,
"The American people have shown
that they possess that self-control
which is the highest form of self-asser-
ton. Never was so great struggle,
involving such great interests, attend
ed with such few incidents of ill-beha-
vior or violence, and in the well-tem-
pered character of our people we be-
hold the best guarantees of the perpe-
tuity of self-government.
"The distressing and mournful fea-
ture of the campaign was the shame
lessness with which money and coer-
cion were employed without rebuke or
dissent from those who profess to
teach political morality. Public senti-
ment has been shocked by their brazen
malpractices, but this republic is too
young, too fresh, and too manly to in
dOrse deliberately the debauchery of
the suffrage. The combined monopo-
lies of the country were opposed to us,
and there was not a hireling tongue or
pen or vote that was not enlisted
against Bryan.
every autocrat and every plutocrat
in Europe is today rejoicing over Nc
Kinleys victory, and well they may,
for it was an European and not an
American victory. McKinleyism will
disappoint its votaries 1t can not man
ufacture prosperity out of higher taxes
and less money, and its promise to
promote international bimetallism is
predestined to failure. All of its pledges
will prove dead sea fruit and when
their fallacy is exposed democracy will
rise again triumphant.
"The democracy of Virginia is be-
yond praise. 1t stood the shock Of bat
tie unawed by menace and uncorrupt-
ed by vanity. We have no reason to
be cast down Our principles live, our
party is vital in every part, and il
bides it's time with undaunted faith
and courage

/" THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN "
ANSWERED MR.. BRYAN, WHEN ASKED If
SILVER WAS DEAD.
When Told by Chairman Jones that Mckinley
was Elected, Bryan Telegraphs
Congratulations.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-The first in
formation that Senator Jones had con-
coded the election of Mckinley was
given to Mr.. Bryan at 8 O'Clock this
evening through the medium of a
Southern Associated Press bulletin.
Mr.. and Hrs Bryan were out walking
when the news was received. They
had been indoors all day, and after
supper decided to take little needed
exercise. Just as the clock in the
library of the democratic candidate s
cozy little home was striking the hour
husband and wife returned. Mr.. Tai
bott, Mr.. Bryvn's law partner, who has
just been elected to the Nebraska
Legislature on the republican ticket,
and several newspaper men were in the
library at the time. Mr.. Bryan read
the bulletin without showing any signs
of feeling and remarked as he finished
"T'll wait to hear from Senator Jones
before saying anything" ..
Then he put on velvet house jacket
and began chatting pleasantly with
some personal friends who were with
him in the parlor. There was nothing
of the pathetic in the scene. Mr., Bry
an had not chung to the hopes held ouf
to him by some of his enthusiastic fol
lowers, and was prepared for the news
His wife, too, knew that nothing en-
couraging was to be expected. Hel
good nature came to the fore when sh'
realized that the strain was oyer, ant
she laughed and ioked with those aroun'
her, while Mr.. Bryan also chaffed tn
newspaper men during the wait for tn
official message from Chairman Jones.
Half an hour later telegraph mes
senger handed dispatch to the defeat
ed candidate. "You may say" sal
he, turning to the newspaper men, afte
reading the telegram, chat the electio
of Mckinley is conceded, and I will il
sue statement tonight"
Then he sat down ct the big oak des
at which he works and began writin
the message Of eongratulation to h
victorious opponent, Mrs. Bryan leai
ing over his shoulder as his pencil wen
over the paper. N
Mr.. Bryan paused only during IL
: writing to tell a humorous story aprop'
of a remark made by one of those abo1
him. When he had finished, he handle
the dispatch to messenger boy al
then told another story. There a
peared to be nothing forced about Il
pleasant manner of the young polite
leader. He seemed actually happy tn
2 the strain was over. He told the r
. lporter of the United Associated Pre-
} in conversation that he would prepa
q statement to be issued to the /
metallists of the country, and won
make it public before tomorrow moo
land not this evening, as he had pr
= viously said. Mr., Bryan said he did n
care to say anything about the resu
of the election tonight, but in answ'
9 to question as to whether he thoug1

cause of bimetallism he responded

The Nose May Become II We Do Not Use 1t
More.
An Indian squaw watches her baby
breathing in his sleep. The moment
he opens his mouth she presses her
fingers tightly against it. He is thus
forced to make use of his nostrils.
This is one of the chief reasons why
he grows up strong, healthy and
broad-chested.
If every mother were to do this we
would be healthy nation. AS it is,
little or no trouble is taken to teach o
child how to breathe, with the result
that his chances of obtaining full de-
velopment are materially hindered.
The nose is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating.
Who has seen horse breathing other
wise than through bis nostrils +? Min
ute scientific investigation has revealed
the fact that the numbered people who
breathe through their nostrils are be-
coming gradually but surely fewer in
number. The consequence is that the
nostrils decrease in size, while it has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that of our
forefathers. m

quently asked to operate on noses and
to enlarge them. Their owners have
found that they do not fulfill their
functions as well as they used to. It
is beginning to be feared by scientific
people that if matters grow much worse
we shall lose the use of our nasal Or
gans entirely.
1t is q we'll known physiological fact
that unused muscles and bones gradu-
ally disappear. Fish who live in the
dark, for instance, or the mole, who
resides under ground, become blind.
Thus if we cease to use our noses for
breathing they will cease to exist.
They will become superfuous
