ROME. Nov. 4-The result of the cleo

JOY by a large majority of the Americans
here and also with the marked approval Of
the Vatican.
The Opinione says of the result in the
United States: 1.-The election is a triumph
of common sense and of national probity."
Italia says: 1.-The cry of Long live Nc
Kinley' should be raised not only in the
United States. but through the civilized
world"
The of the Tribuna is: 1.-The en-
tire commercial community yesterday was
anxious, but to-day it is treasured. The re-
verse of the Democrats is found in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's sympathy with Cuban independ-
ence."
The Roma says: 1T may be foreseen that
Mr.. McKinley's foreign policy will be a diff
ferent course from the correct and prudent
policy of MIR. Cleveland. The Cuban ques-
ton now becomes Il grave and perplexing

The Voce Della Verita expresses fears as

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Governor Altgeld
gave out to-day a statement addressed to
the Democrats of Illinois. i'm which he says:
Although defeated. / desire to thank you

six months ago our great party lay pros

of stock jobbers and ~monopolists by Pres
ident Cleveland: it had been robbed OF ev-
erything Democratic except the name. Ii
stood for no great principle; IL was loaded
with political deadheads, yet IL cut loose
from the domination Of trusts and syndi-
Gates. IL repudiated the men who betrayed
it, and again proclaimed Democratic prin-
ciples and espoused the cause OF toiling
humanity. 1t was confronted by every
thing that money could buy, that Doodle
could debluch or that fear OF starvation
could coerce. II was confronted by a COM
bination Of forces such as hao never been
united before, and could probably never he
united again, and. worse still. the time was
too short to educate the public. While We
are defeated. our party is more vigorous
and in better condition generally than IL
has been for a third Of Il century. We
have dug the grave OF the British god
standard. One more campaign OF education
will forever bury the palsied form of tina
curse which has biighted prosperity ard
the happiness Of mankind. We may as

Hopes of Michigan.
CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-Senator Jones issued
the following statement tonight:
Il have counted from the beginning as
the States upon which We relied tor Mr..
Bryan's election the Southern States, with
156 votes, and the States west of the Mis-
souri,, with 81 votes, making a total of 217.
i have hoped that we would carry Indiana,
Michigan and Minnesota. / believe that We
have carried every Southern State except
Maryland, and that we have carried all OF
the Western States heretofore counted on,
which leaves US. not counting Delaware.

Either Michigan or Indiana would give
us those fourteen votes. The reports re-
ceived by us from both these States give
announcement, and lead us to believe that
while both States are close that We have
the better chance to win, and that We may
probably carry both.
There can be scarcely q doubt of our
getting Indiana Under these circumstance
1t seems to me that we are entirely justified
in claiming the election of Mr.. Bryan.

of the people is such that they will not
allow their choice to be defeated by tricks

city papers to-day that L have given up
the contest and admitted that Mr.. BRYAN is
defeated indicate a deliberate purpose on

extreme and impolitic planks or the chi

DR.. Chauncey MI, Depew.

N. H., Nov. 4.-Chauncey NJ.
Derew commented upon the Republican
victory as follows: THE country has zone
overwhelmingly Republican, and talk of
free silver will soon disappear. The result
of the election has dis9roved the emphatic
statement so often made by the European
public that it Is impossible to submit a
complicated financial question to the popu-
lar vote and secure a verdict in favor of
sound economic reasoning.
The result of the election proves, more
over. and to me this is the most important
feature OF our victory, that the American
people are honest. 1t is a great thing for
a people so diverse and SO numerous as
ours to be universally honest. and the cleo
ton of yesterday has fully demonstrated
that the people of this country held the
national honor as dear as their individual
repute. l foresee in the immediate future
the disappearance of the silver question
from our politics."

ImprOnptu JubilatiOn Based on Mis-

Iitical Managers Say.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. AIR. Bryan to-
night gave out the following in reply to
numerous kilograms from all parts of the
country:
The Democratic national mmit
claims enough States to give a majority In
the Electoral College, but the vote - very
close in several of the States and the re-
suit cannot be positively known until the
entire vote is counted. In all close contests
it Is wise for both sides TO watch the re-
turns to guard against the possibility Of
mistake, intentional or unintentional."
Mr.. Bryan dictated this statement to n
typewriter, but when pressed for something
for the press declined to yield. saying that
he could give no utterance to his opinion
as to the result or outline his intentions
until the outcome should be definitely
known. In conversation With friends he
freely discussed the probabilities. referring
to the clOseness of the vote in several OF
the States and comparing rotes with them
on the chances In Kentucky, Indiana, West
Virginia and other States of apparently mar
row margins. He read all bulletins with
interest, but in reply to questions said he
was not allowing the uncertainty to cause
the least degree of worry. He spoke cheer
fully to all, but it became evident toward
the latter part Of the day that he was
growing less and less hopeful. He was
especially gratified at the result in Nebras-
ka and took occasion to earnestly con-
graduate the chairmen of the various
county and State committees located in
Lincoln on their work in this city and
throughout the State.
During the afternoon Mr.. Bryan attended
the funeral of an old friend, and he spent
the evening with his callers. During the
afternoon what purported TO be kilograms
received by Mr.. Bryan were read in the
hotel Hobbies. claiming the entire South.

quietly advised that it be suspended until
the results should be more definite. Upon
this hint the parade was abandoned before
the Bryan residence was reached
The following telegram was received
by Mr.. Bryan to-day: Il have right along

which leaves seven for us to get. But L

1t is argued that many churches are not
self-sustaining at present, and that TO tax
them would render them still less So Thou
sands are less able 10 provide Tor their
cniidren because of the tax collector. Why
should the laborer pay taxes upon his hum
bic nome, and the religious corporation be
exempted? Make all property bear its just
and equal share of taxation and You lessen
the laporing mans burden. When the work
ingman feels that his burden is heavier,
because the magnificent possessions OF the
church are omitted from the tax roll, do
YOU wonder that the church loses its power
over him?
History is said to repeat itself, and the
United States are on Il lar way OF reaching

South Germany. Mexico and some OF the
South and Central American republics. In
these countries corporated religious wealth
