WHEN McKISLEY Was ELECT

WHEN MCKINLEY WAS ELECT
ED.-Mrs. Elizabeth Nolan who
died at her home No. $50 East
Forty-first street, New York, was
intensely interested in the Presi-
Dental election. She was q great
admirer Of the Democratic can d.
date, and hoped he would be elect
ed by q big majority. Over and
over again she asked her husband,
Michael. who he was going to vote
for.
"I'm going to vote for Bryan,
Lizzie" be replied. He's the man
for us poor folks to vote for. and
you can bet he'll be the next Presi-
dent.
The woman was pleased at that
and often asked if "Mike" was
sure Bryan would be elected.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Nolan
was more excited than ever. She
awaited the news with intense Gag
erness. She said to her husband ::
"Mike, do you think Bryan Is
elected ?"
81 dom. know he replied.
"Suppose We pray that he will
win," she. said. "Pm sure God
will hear us."
After breakfast the next morn
ing Mrs. Nolan prepared to do the
washing. She was about to begin
the task when she became dizzy and
sank to the floor.
"Mike," she cried, it's queer.
but | can't see. | feel so funny.
Mike. think Pm going to die.
I've had a warning. I'm going to
join Marie"
Night came, and the crowds be-
gan to gather in the streets to wait
for the news. The sick woman
heard through her window the cries
and the cheers. She sat up in bed.
"Mike," she asked, "what are
the people shouting for: Is Bry-
an elected? What a noise they are
making. Run out and let me
know if Bryan's elected"
"The crowd is cheering for Nc
Kinley, Lizzie" he said. Half an
hour later the woman died.

land beat Harrison by 1872 electoral
votes, but nobody thought the Re-
publican party was dead-and, I'M
happily, it seems very much alive
today. Mckinley has beaten Bry
an by 81 electoral votes. Does that
mean death to the "New Democra
cy:" Is it a Landslide 2" Is it
the end of the effort in behalf Of
the common people, for which Bry-
an, above all others, stands?
$50 back further. In 1888 Ben
iamin Harrison was elected Presi-
dent of the United States. In the
Electoral College his majority was
65-or within a few votes of Major
McKinley's majority this year. But
in two years the people repudiated
Harrison By electing q Congress
hostile to him, aad in four years
they turned him aud his party out
of Office.
"Out of the record Of the past
the people may draw encourage
ment for the present. By Brysn's
defeat is not defeat for his princi.
Piles, perhaps not even permanent
defeat for himself. He and his
party accepted a situation in June
last which seemed absolutely to
compel defeat. Democracy had
been discredited, demoralized, las
sassinated by Grover Cleveland.
To put a ticket in the field seemed
ridiculous. But with really a Dem
ocratic platform, with frank and
.outspoken repudiation of Cleve-
landism, the party made inroads
on Republican strongholds and ap-
preached very near to victory.
against Mr.. Bryan this year ev-
cry agency of capitalism and cupid
ity was arrayed. For his overthrow
the most enormous campaign fund
known to American politics was
expended, while in his behalf pen
MES were available where his foes
had dollars. Against him the sim
lister agencies of corruption, coer.
ciOn and intimidation were cruelty
employed. Yet, despite all, he has
made better showing at the polls
than Harrison IN 1892, and as good
AS Cleveland in 1888.
1.-The Democratic party has eve,
ry reason to be proud of the issue
of this campaign, and every posi-
BILE reason to adhere for the next
four years to the principles which
have made so creditable All outcom,

No Cause for Despair.

We clip the following from the
Nev York Journal:
1.-The result of this election should
encourage, not depress, the man
who believes in the doctrines set
forth in the Chicago platform. Our
defeat has the qualities of victo-
tory.
"Let us consider the facts dis
passionately. Let us analyze causes
and results without partizanship.
Najor Mckinley is elected, and
nothing said or written now will
interfere with his accession to what
Grover Cleveland has made a throne.
"Mr. Bryan gets 100 electoral
votes against McKinley's 265. with

votes, to Harrison's las. Cleve.

After the Battle.

The smoke of the political battle
has cleared away and we can now
count the wounded and the dead
and estimate the results for victors
and vanquished. Mckinley has ESQ
electoral votes and Bryan has 1877.
IL was not so much of Landslide
after all. The Democrats have
been beaten much worse before, but
have come again and won. In 1872,
Greeley received only AZ electoral
votes, but in 1876 Tilden was elect
ed, though counted out. Cleve-
land in 1883 was beaten by an
electoral vote of IG8 to 233. and in
1892 won by 277 to Harrison's las.
Our cause is not dead 1t but
slum bers, till in 1900 shall sound
the same battle-cry and victory, We
hope, crown our efforts. 1t is true
the solid South is broken, but the
breach in the ranks is more than
offset by gains in the West, and the
South and West will yet rule.
In Maryland the outlook, we ad
init, is by no means rose colored
The Democracy here is badly beaten
and Gov. Eowndes's oft denied
prophecy of 1895 has been fulfilled.
There are none with us now so
blind as not to see where we stand
and experience has taught all, the
magnitude of the task ere Mary
land be redeemed. The self-named
true Democrats have proven them
selves IN two campaigns reliable Re
publicans, and it is demonstrated
that the only hope of Democracy is
in those whose votes and voices are
for the nominees. The party can
not win through defeat.
The fault is not in our leaders.
They were of our own selection
not self-appointed. They did their
duty and did not desert in the face
of the enemy. They have won and
deserve the plaudit. "well done.
If, however, there be others in the
ranks who are better generals it IL
right that the party should seek
them out and call them to the lead
ership. The prlyates who fight tn,
battles will follow any one So sc
lected, but will never submit to b,
differed by returned deserters oil
renegades.
In st. Mary's we have held oul
own. The Republican vote has in
creased, but not because of acces
sions from our ranks. And the
following comparison of votes proves
this assertion:

UNUSUAL CAMPAIGN.-We have
reached the end of one of the q eat
est and most important political
battles waged in this country for
thirty years
There are many things which
will cause the campaign to be talk
I'd about for years. The most re-
markable of them all has been the
wonderful physical and mental
power displayed by the democratic
nominee. And not less notable
han these qualities in the spirit of
fairness and goodwill with which
the issues upon which he sought
election were set before his hearers.
In this he stands out in striking
contrast to his opponents. No ep-
tibet has been considered too strong
to hurl at his head. He has stood
the shafts Of ridicule and sarcasm
without murmur. The vile abuse
heaped upon him by the majority
of the gold standard organs he has
not designed to notice. He has
gone on in the pursuit of his duty,
travelling and speaking by night
and by day. Whenever any charge
has been made against his political
good faith, he has shown to the
world that it was founded on NAL
ice, not on truth. He has confined
himself strictly to the consideration
of the principles which he repre-
sents. He has received ovations
of which the greatest hero might
well feel proud.-Republic.

the clauses in the bet stated that.

daintness delights his rugged mind
But, il the mans woman seems
weak, she may be stronger by far
than the man she attracts, for, il
she were really weak, she would
weary him and her weeping anger
him-oh, no the mans woman.
She may occasionally, at just the
right time, shed a few becoming
tears to touch his heart, but she
never cries till ner nose is red and

She suits her moods to his and

alteration. Her moods are short,

You that the mans woman is clev-

rivals. Yet there is no reason why the
manufacturers of Germany or any other
European country should be unduly
apprehcnsivc. 1t is not contemplated
To close the American market to them.
The republican party does not propose
to erect a tariff wall that would shut
out the products of other lands. 1t
simply means TO require those products
to pay moro for entering this greatest
of the worlds markets and there are
sound and legitimate reasons for doing
this. Very likely the demand for them
will be somewhat reduced. but that will
benefit our own Industries, while we
shall probably still get more revenue
than we now do. Germany has done
business with the United States under

To do SO, but II may be a somewhat less
