Now that Mr.. Bryan has again denied
the charge that he was in the pay of the
silver mine owners, and made n state
nent of his income in detail, Senator
Thurston has the manliness to say that
he accepts it as a complete refutation.
While it was wrong in the Nebraska Sen
ator to rake up the charge, resting as it
did on such slimsy foundation, he has
at least pursued an honorable course in
accepting Mr. Bryan's explanation so
promptly. 1t is hoped this will be the
last of this causeless attempt to iniure
an honest man and great statesman.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 7.-Ofcial re-

ties and McKinley's net plurality is raised
TO s4s. oficial returns from Greenup county
are three less than the unofficial but to
the official canvass Of the Tenth and EleV-

gain of the Ohio man due this afternoon.
on the official count Mckinley makes net
gain OF ll2 votes.
There yet remains one ward the Twelfth,
TO be canyassed. 1t is expected that TINS
ward will also show up with material
Mckinley gain, as the vote IN
every ward so far canvassed has
been full. Other official returns from
the state are not expected TO affect
the general result, for the reports from the
twelve unoflcially reported counties that
have been received are considered reliable
by both republicans and democrats Thus,
if there is any change al all, 1t will not
be sufficient to overcome the 6is lead OF NC
