Previous to election the gold
bug press was filled with tales of
the. awful fate that had over
taken Kansas. And it was con-
fidently predicted that, because
of the horrors that had resulted
from the defeat of the republican
party, the people of that state
the only one which ever tried l.:
would, at the polls, emphatic
ally repudiate "propocracy."
And in Kansas there vas CON-
plete repudiation-of the repub-
lican party. The yellow bellies
lost the entire electoral and
state tickets, the legislature, and
saved only two out Of eight
congressman. Kansas has
larger grand army representation
in her population than any state

That Venezuela claims territory ex-

LaBoUCHRE ON BRYAN.
The English Statesman Makes Some In
teresting Observations.


London, Nov. 10.-Commenting on the
recent election in the United States, Hen
ry LaBouchre, in Truth, says:
If Bryan had been wise he would have
gone in for bi-metallism, If it pleased him
to, but he could have left the ratio inde-
finite. His ratio meant the right OF all
to repudiate half his obligations without
this bettering any one in the future
But the yictors will do well to realize
that apart from bi-metallism, there is
strong growing feeling in America
against such accmulations OF capital in
the hands of individuals, obtained by
faeans Of trusts, which are really mono
poles and gambling with cogged dice in
railroads. The greedy plutocary, unsup.
ported by an armed force. cannot long
hold its own against the rights and well
being Of all. / am nowise certain that, had
| been an American, / should not have
voted the Democratic ticket, had it not
been that | regard all tampering with the
coinage of a country as injurious to ALL
and it does not strike me that Mr.. Bryan
is up to the presidential mark.
