Cleveland In 1892. as his vote that year
was only 1858 .562-nearly 10000 less than
Mr.. Bryan received on the 81 instant. 1f,
therefore, Mr.. Bryan is an object OF de-
rislon because Of the popular reputation
involved In vote Of only 6.22l $50, how are
we to estimate Mr.. Clevcland's standing
with the masses IN the light OF his vote
Of only 5556.5s2? The fact is that, taking
the 1850 Democratic votes that went 10
liner and the 10000 or 100000 other
ID nocratic votes that were given to Nc
Kiniey direct, and adding these TO the
vote hat he actually received. Bryan

-otes as a man who has been discredted
and rebukod by his fellow -citlzens. no
such moral can be drawn from the figures
OF 1896. Bryan developed phenomenal
strength, especially when we consider
the utter Generalization Of the party
when he became its nominee. the titanic
influences brought to bear against him

MORE ELECTION FIGURES.
The Men who Voted for Bryan Were
Natiye-Born Americans.
washington Post)


The popular vote for Mr.. Mckinley
seems to have been 7.O5O,5l6 The popular
vote for Mr. Bryan was 622l.5 52. The
popular vote for Palmer was 1850. Nc
Kinley, therefore, received more votes
than Bryan to the tune of S25 964.
These are not official figures. but they
are made from the unofficial estimates
and will not vary 10 any great extent
from the regularly certified returns. The
vote of every state. with the single ex-
ception Of Kentucky. IS now practically
known. 1t IS safe TO assume that they
give full Justice TO Mr.. Mckinley, and
reasonable to conclude that they are so
nearly absolutely correct as 10 make
them proper subjects Of inquiry and spec
ulatlon.
There are some very significant features
I'm these figures. They furnish much food
for thought. The Republican and as
sistant Republican organs, for instance,
are sneering at Mr. Bryan, declaring that
he has been repudated by the American
people. and that II is "A piece OF ridicu-
lous impertinence In him TO think Of 1900
or TO suppose that the American people
regard him with anything but pity and
contempt. IL strikes Us as very stupid
TO put forward such propositions as these.
SIR. Bryan got 6.22l ,5j2 votes. Six and
a quarter millions OF men are worth
thinking about, especially as nearly all
OF them ate natve-born white Americans.
There was not that many voters for Alr'

OF pay. Moreover. 1t Is insisted that the
City Council cannot make a Systematic.
harmonious and equitable reduction In
covering each department..
The Dispatch cannot undertake to adj
wise the two branches of the City Council
as TO the details OF their work. We have
not the needed information. But we
understand and appreciate the fact that
IL is difficult and disagreeable task; yet,
IL is a work that must be done. In many
respects II presents phases akin to those
which characterized the public debt agita-
ton in this State-but we pray Heaven
that the Democratic party may show
more wisdom and forethought In dealing
with It than it did in dealing with re-
adjustment.
As We have said, We heartily wish that
the officers and employees Of each depart
mcnt. speaking for themselves, would
point out how that department could best
make the reduction expected OF 1t. But
perhaps this is expecting too much.
Seldom does Il happen that man recog-
nizcs the necessity for cutting down ms
own pay. However, we take it that the
belief is now quite general here that TINS
question Is one that will not down. IL
is one that demagogues may easily make
use of. IL Is one that another reform
party may try to seize upon to ride into
power. ln short. it is one that the Demo-
Gratis would better settle among them
selves. and quickly.

VIZ nINGLEY SPEAKS.

In our issue Of Tuesday We referred 10
a Canton special to the New York Her
aid. which stated that it was true
that the Republicans had abandoned
their notion of pressing the Dingley bill IN
the present Congress. but that congress
man Dingley was booked for Mckinney
Secretary of the Treasury, and "oula
frame the regular Republican tarih OIL
for the consideration of the next con-
cross The same Canton special also
threw out the intimaticn that Mckinney
believed that, by calling an extra SESSION
of Congress. and putting aside Tor the
time the distribution Of patronage an"
an other questions save that Of the
tariff the latter could be disposed Of be-
fore the summer was over.
In its issue of yesterday the New YORK
World prints a letter from Congressman
Dingley. which leaves no doubt that NC
Kinlev and the Maine congressman nave
q pretty good understanding with each
other. and which confirms the Cd
servotions Of the Herald's Canton cor
RESPONDENT in several important particn-
lars. After stating that he sees no rea-
sonable ground for hoping that the (his)
exigencv tariff bill. which passed the
tIopse at its last session, will be taken
mn in the Senate this winter, Mr.. Ding
lev explains wherein the bill was an ext
gency measure and says:
mo member Of the Ways and Means
Committee would for a moment couhte-
nance this method as a permanent ar
mi hot
tertained by some persons that the House
bill would make unnecessary any iurther
tariff legislation for a long time Is GER
tainly mistaken; for necessarily, horl-
zonta1 increase of duties does not cor
rect the inequalities and determinations
Of the present tarin.
The Maine Congressman next gives
some figures as to the increase in the
revenue he thinks necessary, urges that
whatever is done should be done quickly
and adds:
IF my assumption is correct, that
the Senate will reject the House bill at
the coming short session, and that no
measure will be passed that will restore
the financial equilibrium. there is only
one plan 10 be followed-that is. for
President Mckinley TO call an extraor-
binary session. 1t is my judgment that
such a session need not be long one
unless the Senate purposely prolongs de-
bate. If the two bodies composing con-
gress confne themselves to the work IN
hand. six weeks ought to be sufficient
for the House"
Mr. Dingley then expresses the opinion
that cit is not necessary to create an
entirely new bill, or to make a general
sweep Of the schedules of the present
tariff laws, as there is much that is good
in the existing law" In conclusion, he
volunteers the rather unnecessary in
formation that the House Of Representa-
tives is the source OF all revenue legis-
lation, and, as it is Republican in poll
teal complexion, it viii maintain the
principle Of protection
1t will be seen that the letter practical
" relegates the Dlngley bin to the posi-
ton of a dead issue; pretty well settles
ii that there will be an extra session Of
Congress, and renders it certain that
we need expect no other legislation from
the Fifty-hfth Congress until the tariff
has been disposed Of
