MIR. BRYAN AT HOME.

Mr.. Bryan received the returns at his
home in Lincoln, Neb., last night. He
had slept well the most of the after
noon and felt much refreshed when the
news began coming in.
Wires had been run into Mr.. Bryan's
residence, one connecting with demo-
cratic national headquarters in Chicago,
and The other for regular bulletins.
1t had been understood among his
friends that he was to be left alone on
election night, and as consequence
none of the local supporters or neigh
bors of Mr.. Bryan gathered at his little
residence.
After supper Mr. Bryan went upstairs
to the private Office he has established
since his nomination. Mrs. Bryan remain
ed with him there during the evening,
husband and wife receiving the bulle-
tins fresh from the wire and reading
and comparing them together.
Mr.. Schwind, his secretary, and a
dozen newspaper men occupied the Ii
brary. The wire connecting with demo
cratic headquarters was idle nearly all
the time.
A few dispatches for Mr.. Bryan came
from Chairman Jones early in the
evening. Their purport was not made
known by Mr.. Bryan, but he said that
if anything important was received
from the Arkansas Senator he would
give it to the press.
Chairman Dahlman, Of the demo-
cratic State central committee, sent a
message to MIR. Bryan, saying that he
had carried Nebraska by $4,000 and
that the indications point to the cleo.
ton of the entire State ticket.
At fifteen minutes after midnight
Mr.. Bryan fell asleep and it was decid-
ed not to awaken him till morning. No
statement and no private dispatches
were given out last night.

spNEsDAY EVENING. NOV. 4. 1896

ALEXANDRIA HoNoRED herself yes
terday by the large majority she gave
The democratic ticket. She is the first
city the Northern armies strike on
their way to invade the South, and she
always holds out against them to the
pest of her ability, as she did it at the
advent of know nothingism, when she
voted to sustain the action OF her
State convention, though under
the shotted guns Of the Pawnee,
and yesterday. There is no city in the
South where true Southern, and, there
lore, democratic, feeling exists than in
old Alexandria, the home town of Gen.
erals Washington and Lee.

THOUGH large number Of Southern
democrats did not endorse some of the
planks in the national democratic plat
form, comparatively few Of them de-
serted their party in its desperate
struggle for existence against insur-
mountable obstacles, and, to their IN
dying fame be it spoken, they spurned
the dishonorable offers made them by
their enemies and remained true to
their colors to the last. Among the
faitbless, faithful only they. "Marcellus

When the polls closed in Hunters
vile, suburb of Norfolk, last night,
large number of negroes were still in
line unable to vote. This made the ne
groes so angry that they threatened the
judges with violence, and in order to
save the ballot.box the officials seized
it and escaped by a back entrance.
They were gone FIVE minutes before the
negroes learned of their escape, and
when they did 30 they pursued the fee
ing officers over back lots for some dis.
lance, despite the efforts of the police
to stop them. The pursuit was to no
purpose, as the udges eluded their pur-
suers by hiding in house.

Rixey. There is comparatively little
heard from the Ninth district, where
Gen. James A. Walker, republican, is
running against Judge Samuel Will
liams. In the Tenth district, where
Yost is opposing Flood, the republicans
have increased their msjorities, and the
democrats have lost in counties which
were heretofore certain. The demo-
Gratis hope to carry both of these dis
tricts, but there is some doubt of this.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov. Ike
turns from congressional election are
meaeer but sufficient to show that Hay,
democrat, has defeated Walker republl-
can, by probably 5000. Estimated
majority for Bryan and Hay in this
county and Albermarle county 1000.
EIGHTH DISTRICT.
Mr. John F. RiSey, of Culpeper, was yes

Culpeper county gives 500 democratic ma

The Congressional district is largely demo.
cratic.
Prince William county will give over 700
majority for Bryan and Rxey or about the
same ss in 1892.
King George county gives Mckinley a ma
jority Of 65, and IcCaull's majority is 81.
Stafford will give small republican ma

MORE PEOPLE than ever now agree
with the Chicago Times, great Nc
Kinley newspaper, that country is 8
bad way that is subject to the will of a
simple majority of its population. That

rance and prejudice or by worse in
huences, and the permanency of gov
erpment under such control islanything

Mr.. Bryan.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. William ].
Bryan had not given up hope this
morning. His face exhibited some
signs of fatigue this morning, but his
eye was clear. Mr.. Bryan did not ap-
pear in the least dependent as he lay
on lounge in his perlor. A reassuring
dispatch from Senator Jones, chairman
of the national committee, was received
at II a. m, but Mr.. Bryan did not care
to make it public. Kentucky advices,
too, we're of a comforting character.
Up to 1870 Mr.. Bryan had no state
ment to give the press.

ORGANIZED labor in the North and
Northwest voted against Bryan almost
to man. 1t had a chance to right all
its wrongs, if it had any, and to protect
itself against the tyranny of capital.
Instead of availing itself Of that chance,
it has not only failed to do SO, but has
riyeted the chains on its own wrists. II
il be satisfied with its work, surely no
body else should be dissatisfied.

THE sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars Of Mr.. Hanna's cleo
tion fund was sent to this State. 1t
didn't do Mr.. Mckinley much good,

is IS scarce as it is 10 Virginia, should
stimulate business at least for time.

No MATTER what the majority
against Mr. Bryan may be, there is no
doubt of the facts that his candidacy
cheered and stimulated the democratic
party to an enthusiastic fight all along
the line, that save only and except for
the platform upon which he stood
there would have been little or no
practical opposition to the republican
ticket, aud that he was the most pop
ular candidate his party could have &C.
lected, and received more votes than
any other democrat that could have
been nominated.

any right to complain. There are some
