The final returns from Santa
Clara county, completing the State
returns, show that Martin, Bryan
elector, has defeated Flint, McKiu
ley elector, by 402. This gives
Mckinley eight electors from Cali.
fornia and Bryan one, making the
latler's total electoral vote 178 aud
Mckinley 2G9. Tins gives the
latter a majority Of 81 over Bryan
and - over the ~ necessary to be
elected. II there was a careful re-
count all over the United States,
we believe It would hustle McKin-
ley 10 be elected at all.

Bryan's plurality over Mckinley
in Missouri is 5S,7 His majority
over all is 53,2S6. The vote for
Palmer and Buckner in Missouri
was only 1850. lowering, Prohi-
6ition candidate, did nearly as
well, his vote being 9,169.

Now that the State Board of
Canvassers of Colorado have COM
pleted their work and officially an.
nounced the vote, 1T is shown that
Bryan's majority over Mckinley is
1S4,54S. How is that for one State
that has always been Republican
heretofore ? And out of a total
vote of $4,000?

Since 1879 the United States
have been on the single gold STAN
dard. In that year the gold dollar
was made the unit of Coinage and
the coinage of standard silver dol
lars was stopped. BY an act passed
IN 1874, standard silver dollars be.
came legal tender only ia limited
amounts--that is, in sums of So or
less. 1t is true that, by the bland
Allison Act of 1878, limited coin
age OF silver dollars was resumed.
which has since been discontinued
aud that silver dollars were again
given full legal tender quality,
which they still retain. Bat none
of these acts restored the double
standard existing prior to 1878.

have been on the single gold stan

Not counting Kentucky, which

All bets on AcKinley's or Bryan 3
carrying Kentucky are of. for, it
seems, they have both carried that
State. The present situation in
Kentucky is, that the Republicans
concedo one elector to Bryan and
claim twelve for Mckinley, while
the Democrats concede one to Nc
Kinley and claim twelve for Bryan,
and say they are going ahead TO
make y contest on that basis.
Whichever claim is at last made
