so completely under Marchant's control
that they might heap wealth at the fell

tering into the spirit of the thing, we
tossed bills and coins on the porch, not
stopping to see how big they were.
Some even threw their poclsetbooks into

when seriously approached on the
subject of occult and supernatural,
Marchant again surprised us all. He
ridiculed the clairvoyants, astrologers,
fortune tellers, palm readers and all
persons of kindred calling as mounte-

make it dupe. Every man knew more
about his past than anyone could tell
him, and could make better guess at
his future; but we all have a touch Of
superstition in our makeup. There's

called it his patron goddess, the arbiter

WASHBURfpS STATEMENT.


CHICAGO, Nov. 5-The following
statement of the presidential situation
was issued last night by Chairma n
Washburn of the Chicago headquar-
ters, peoples party committees:
TO the poters Of the United States:
Our facilities for receiving the election re-.
turns are equal To any. We know from private
advices and the returns up To date that Nc
kinley Is not elected. On the other hand the
latest returns Justify our claim that Mr. Bryan
is elected. 1t is one OF the pecuiiarities OF re-
publican enterprise that they always claim
everything In sight few hours after election.
In 1876, as well as in 1881. is was not known
for three or four days which candidate had
won Although the early returns indicated re.
publican success. democratic followed Again
tour years ago, the early returns favored Har.
rison's election, while the subsequent ones
elected Cleveland. This year the early returns
favored Mckinley because they came from the
eastern aud middle states and from the
cities OF other states, while the returns from
the south and west were withheld 50 as to
stampede public sentiment that Mckinley was
elected, whether he was or not ana thus create
sentiment In advance which would opera to to
his advantage In case the election was con-
tested, while on the other hand. had the first
returns announced Bryans success, and con-
test resulted there would be an uprising OF
the people through fear OF repetition OF the
Tilden episode.
We have positive evidence that the repub.
lican national committee have wired their
state committees To claim certain states VIII ch
are in doubt, fearing that the subsequent re.
turns might indicate Bryans election We
shall soon vigorously press the question-viz
IL IL Is not for the purpose OF manipulating
them, why are they held backy
We want the American people To be patient
and calm and to wait for the oficial returns
out by manipulating looms. We also feel JUS
titled in assuring the people that IL Bryan is
elected he will be seated. The will OF the PEG.
pie will never again be defeated through tho
pulation OF returning boards TO capture
the presidency. The political crime OF 1870
will be resisted II repeated
The returns this evening Indicate that Mr..
Bryan Will carry all the states west OF the
Missouri river and south OF the Ohio and POI
tomac, which, without Maryland and Della.
ware. make 700 votes. Delaware Is still In
doubt. but we are sure OF one elector. Add 10
this Michigan, II votes, or Indiana, Is votes
and IL insures Bryans election. The returns
from both OF these states now show positive
gains for Bryan in all OF the suburban dis
trtcts. The claims OF the republicans we re
based upon the reports from the cities. Now
that we are hearing from the country the
attuation is rapidly changing The republicans
.se becoming alarmed and the silverites tri.
unphant In the belief that Bryan will be our
ext president.

HANNA TALKS FREELY.
The Change In the Middle Western states
End OF the silver Question.

A<hu " shc shNef Xue>ttous
New YORK, Nov. t.-Mr. Hanna came
downstairs in about an hour and
talked freely to the reporters. What,
in your opinion. changed the farmers
vote To Mckinley in the middle west
ern states?'
Mr.. llama paused a moment and
then said: well, the farmers of the
middle west were away off in the be-
ginning on the money question, and
on the results that would follow Nc
Kinley's election. They believed at first
that if Mckinley was elected silver
would be wiped out of circulation.
The farmers COMPOUNDED the gold
standard with recommendation. but they
learned the truth as the result of the
campaign shows
do you think the tariff question
figured much in the rcsult?"
YES, sir; decidedly so; il figured
very. very much" and Mr.. Hanna
was then questioned about what would
be Maj Mckinley's position on the
tariff question.
IL would prefer to let Maj. McKin.
ley speak for himself on that ques-
AAths hC itHiitd. ldufd lnen
called attention to what Mckinley
said at the dinner of the Marquette
club in Chicago on February liz last,
Lincoln's birthday. Maj. Mckinley
then said: II am not an advocate for
schedules, but for the principles Of
protection"
When asked what he thought of the
advance in securities since election
day, Mr.. Hanna said: at was to be
expected, and 1 predict that every
business interest which depends on
confidence in our government, and
that means all but speculative inter-
ests, will be permanently benefited.
The people are satisfied now that there
will be no wild financial legislation
and this confidence will bring pros
perity. We have the president, the
senate and the house of representa-
tives. so there is no room for any kind
Of doubt"
"Do you feel that the silver question
Is dead?"
"Well, feel that it is the beginning
Of the end. don't hesitate to say that
the result o. this election will BRING
about serious consideration of this
question, and that the opinion of the
country will be reflected in the senate
and congress
The importance to the country OF
the result cannot be overestimated,
and Is a matter of congratulation to
all loyal and patriotic citizens Of the
United States. Incendiayy utterances
and pretended claims which question
the accuracy Of this statement should
Iot disturh ths nublic mind.

Half conscious Of impending doom.

Drops down his covelets Of snow.
