unique in its character and impressive
to large degree. passed by him as he
was on the speakers stand. People

minutes for 10000 people to file past
the nominee and every one of these
tried to out-do his neighbor in yelling
and cheering.
Bryan spoke to the farmers and it
was a speech intended for the farmers.

phasized his statement of last night

/ Canton. Sept. 15.-The reception Of
old soldiers today was most encourage

thousands of Cantonians followed the

NEW YORK TO TRY FUSION.
A Surprise Sprung at BufIaIo-HIII Men
Compromise.


Buffalo, n. Y. Sept. l5.--It looks Ike
a state convention tonight, and the ar
rival Of the Tammany delegation has
done more to bring into view old con-
vention faces than anything that has
happened. During the afternoon there
was every evidence Of friction, but as
the evening wore on. the Tammany
delegation arrived in town. every light
controversy that had arisen was
smoothed over. and it became more
and more evident that the convention
was TO be dominated BY the great poll
ical organization from New York.
From the time Mr.. Hinekley arrived
this morning and announced that the
selections Of Elliott Danforth, y. Y,
member OF the Bryan and sewall noti-
fication committee. for state chairman.
and Frank S. Campbell. for national
committeeman. were favorable to Mr..
Hill, until late tonight when this news
was confirmed, there had been a oon-
fict between the assembled delegates.
1t ends tonight by the withdrawal Of
Mayor Malloy from the contest for
state committee chairman and the en-
dorsement Of Campbell for the office Of
national committeeman, an ending
that to everybody's mind signifies a
compromise with Senator Hill in order
to keep together the state organization
and the withdrawal OF Senator Muir
phys candidate in the interest Of har-
mony.
The politicians were given a surprise
this afternoon by the appearance here
Of number Of Populists who, after a
protracted conference. appointed a
OF FIVE to visit the Demo-
cratic state committee and present a
plan for fusion in this state to de-
feat the Republicans.

tion for the silver Republicans.

Mcmillan in an interview to-day said that
the first thing to be done after Mckinley
is inaugurated and the new Congress
comes in will be to devise means for in
creasing the revenues and placing the
treasury on better basis.
Amy Legislation upon the money of the
country will have to wait upon that. The
only thing to be done is to keep the
money as good as it is now and to formu-
late some plan for preventing the periodl-
cal outflow OF gold. That is really the
weak spot in our present financial system,
what Mir. Carlisle has called tn endless
chain. Some scheme to shut that off-the
cancellation of the greenbacks or some
other plan-must be put into operation.
Asked whether he thought the new ad-
minlstration would make any effort to
bring about the esta blishment of inter-
national bimet al lism. Senator Mcmillan
said:
mo, do not anticipate anything of the
kind. As l said before. the money we
have now is all right and the system sat-
isfactory, except for the occasional drain of
gold, which creates panicky conditions"

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Engiishmen and Canadians Pleased
With Eryan's Defeat.


LONDON. ENG, Nov. 5.-Ths Chronicle
this morning says: "We offer our hearty
congratulations to Major Mckinley in so
far as he represents National finance, on
which alone modern credit can be based,
but the record of the Republican party is
TOO bad to encourage the hope of much
good resulting from its success. We can
not see the reason why the American peo-
pie should indulge in rosy prophecies of
prosperity. The future depends upon
conditions little connected with McKin-
ley's success"
The Chronicle will deny that the result
OF the campaign is landslide, and will
say that the surprise is not that Bryan re-
ceived so few votes, but rather that he Sc
cured as many as he did. 1T is a som Der
reflection" the Chronicle will conclude,
that anything like a general depression
will range so many citizens upon the side
of wildcat currency schemes and virtual
reputation and even anarchy"
The Standard will say: 1.-THE complete
rejection OF Bryan's tempting programme,
addressed to Incidence, incapacity and
cupidity, shows that these qualities are
less wicely distributed in the United
States than Bryan would have had US be-
lieve. There has been revolt OF the
honest and loyal citizens who are solicit
Gus for the fair name and fame of the re-
public, and the Bryanites astonished the
world by the com paralive paucity of their
numbers. The hope lessly ignorant and
savagely covetous waits and strays of
American civilization voted for Bryan, but
the bulk of the solid sense, business integ-
ritv and social ability sided with Nc
Kinley.
'The Nation is to be heartily congratu-
lated. The -ictory has draw backs for Eng
lishmen, and indeed for every country in
Europe engaged in manufacturing indus
tries. 1t is a triumph OF good faith, but
also triumph of protecuon."
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov. g. Comment
ing on the result of the election in the
United States the World says: "McKin-
ley's election means a great and almost
immediate rev val in business in the Re-
public, but McKineyism will directly or
indirectly antagonize Canada in many
ways-in the matter of the bonding priyi-
leges, in the matter of fisheries, in the mat
ter OF canals and the like. Cleveland was
hostile on occasions, but Mckinley will be
hostile on principle. But this very nostiI-

Mckinley May Call Congress After
Inauguration.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 5.-A Herald
special from Washington saws:
An extra session of the Flfty-fifth Con-
gress Immediately after the Inauguration
of Mckinley is not probable. S ouid Nc
Kinley desire to carry out the spirit of his
party platform and secure the enactment
of legislation to correct existing evils in
the monetary system, his chances for sue
cess would undoubtedly be greater if
Congress was called early, when the Re-
publican Representatives and Senators
would be anxious to please the President,
SO as to have voice in the distribution of
patronage.
The Republican majority in the House
will be so large that any line OF party
policy decided upon can be quickly passed
in that body. The maiority In the Senate,
however. is of such character as to make
it probable that no important measure can
pass that body without prolonged fight.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 5.-An unas-
.sailable column of 264 electoral votes has
been secured for Mckinley and Hobart.
This column may be increased by the
addition of the votes of the States of Ken
tucky, South Dakota and Wyoming,
which are still in doubt and claimed for
both Mckinley and Bryan.
The popular majority for Mckinley will
be about 1000, 600. 1t now exceeds 90U, 900,
and can scarcely be reduced more than
10000 by the aggregated pluralities for
Bryan from all the States in doubt.
In the Senate the Republicans are as
sured of forty-six mem bers, or a ms iority
of-two. The majority may be increased
to four by the election OF a Republican
from Kentucky.
According to the latest returns the Re-
pubEicans will have in the House 211 mem
bers, sound-money Democrats 1, Demo-
Gratis 120, Populists %, giving Republi-
. can majority of 65
The power of the Republicans may be
somewhat affected in the Senate bv the
future course of the several Senators who
were elected as Republicans, but have
bolted the party and acted during the
cam paign Just ended with the Chicago
Democrats.
Mantle of Montana, Pettigrew of South
Dakota and Cannon of Utah have all
openly affiliated with the Democrats. If
all these Senators vote politically with the
Populists or the Democrats, they may be
in the way of Republican majority as to
prevent reorganization. All told, how
ever, it is doubtful whether the silver men
in the Senate will be able 10 muster ma
iority.
Putting all the boiling Republican Sem
ators in the silver column and adding to
them all the continuing silver Senator'S,
and Senators Faulkner, German and
Mitchell of Wisconsin, who accepted the
Chicago platform and advocated its prin-
: ciples, the silver cause will not appar-
emily be able to muster more than forty
two votes after March 3, 1897. This as
sures a gold standard majority in the
Senate oil. at least six votes.
