LONDON on THE BOND BIDS.
Taken To Mean There Is No Fear of a
silver Victory.

London, Feb. THE financial article in
the Times this mornlng. speaking of the
BIDS for the United States loan, says,
Allowing for all deductions through du-
pl.cate tenders. etc, the result must be
as satisfactory TO the United States gov
ernment as such loan could he. Probably
the gold held in readiness viii not only sup
ply the first installment. but VIII furnish
a portion Of the second iustallment, Il Il
can be retained for that purpose, IL is
quite plain that the American people. in
cluding all the leading men of business and
financial Institutions. are not afraid that
congress VII pass measures committing
the country TO the silver standard Still
we cannot regard the loan as anything but
a temporary palliative. The second in-
stallment may be forthcoming, but II Is
difficult to see how the three succeeding In
stallments can be met In gold, unless Eu-
ro,.an confidence revives to such an ex-
teny that American securities VII again
be bought freely in Europe. Undoubtedly
the present remarkable display or conf-
dence by the American people Viii help
in that direction. but the careful investor
win continue TO feel misgivings until the
present monetary system - reformed
The Times also has an editorial on the
loan in which IL heartily congratulates
President Cleveland and the people. The
success OF the loan" the Times says. is a
personal triumph for the president, and
tho most convincing ccunter-demonstra-'
ton to the siIverites' agitation that could
be possibly supplied. But II Is too early TO
assume that the silverites are crushed.
Our correspondent in America seems 10
think that. the difficulty has been largely
disposed CT but the point Is not easy 10
determine in the first glow OF exuitauon
ever the unquestionable financial success.
The impression here Is that after a little
time the chronic difficulties OF the situa-
ton will be found 10 remain pretty much
unchanged"
The article concludes with a further
reference TO the fact that no raprcchement
is visible on the Venezuelan affair
The Standard says iu an editorial:
Granting its expediency, the loan is
great success. Its most satisfactory feat
ure is the proof that Americans do not
fear that the silver standard Will be adopt
ed From 'his point Of view II Is comfort
ing to foreign investors In American Sc
curities"

honorable and manly fight with the lin
tied resources at our command. / feel con-
fident that the principles of true Democ-
racy will ultimately prevail. Our opponents
were confidently claiming a majority in the
State of $4,000, SO that they, too, must feel
disappointment in the result. i am sure
that all friends OF good government will
be glad the political contest of 1896 is ended,
ard hope the successful candidate may
give the country a fair and impartial ad-
ministration.'
Thomas c. Platt, in a communication to
the World. says: 1T is landslide for hon.
est money and in defense of the Nation S

the Republican party and how far it has
gone towards saving the credit of the Ma
tion no man can now tell. Up TO this hour
ii looks as If the enemies of the country 8

that the serpent of repudiation would not
again dare raise its head. In our own
State. where it was claimed that some To-
cal issues which L recommended and be-
lieved in would turn the vote against us,
We have received thorough Endorsement,
so great that New York will give the larg-
est Republican majority in the history OF

cratic politicians will learn from this cleo
ton that it is better TO have the business
interests with them than to have the dis
turbing elements"
John Z. Hopkins. chairman Of the gold
standard Democratic committee, said: I'VE
now know that Mckinley has received an
Overwhelming majority in Illinois. This is
no surprise tc those who have had an op-
portunity to observe the trend OF public
opinion in this State. The Palmer and
Buckner vote will be insignificant, which is
a matter Of no surprise to the managers
of the sound-money campaign in this State.
Democracy and the Democratic party still
lives; it's principles are eternal. / do not
rejoice at McKinley's victory, but do re-
joice in Bryan's defeat. Our committee will
meet this week and proclaim to the people
of this State and the United States
that we are Democrats and claim
to represent the Democratic faith. We
have no doubt that the conservative ele-
ment of the party will assert itself, and
now that Altgeldism and all that il repre-
sents has been repudiated by our State the
sober class Of the people will assert itself
and Democracy will be re-established on its
ancient lines. l rejoice as an American
citizen that the capacity of the American
people to govern themselves in peace as in
war has been demonstrated in what has
been the most crucial test to which the
Republic has ever been subject"
Mr.. Henry c. Payne, of the Republican
executive, committee. was highly elated
over the result and said: THE country is
to be congratulated that the majority is so
great that it will inspire confidence in bus
mess circles. Too much praise cannot, in
my opinion. be given to the patriotic men
who have broken away from their old-time
affiliations to support our ticket. 1t is not
to be forgotten that our adopted citizens
have contributed their full shares toward
this splendid victory"

FREQUENT GAINS OVER 1894
THE VOTE LARGER THAN EVER BE-
FORE CAST IN THIS STATE.
In Face of Overwhelming Republican
Victory Chairman Martin Re-
fused to Concede 1t.

The vote cast in Indiana yesterday
the largest in the history of the State, and
the returns came in slower IL anything,
than ever before. At O'clock this morn
ing the Journal had reliable returns from
nearly 500 precincts in the State out of
total of s,lls which gave Mckinley a clean
plurality of 35, 141.
With 400 precincts Chairman Gowdy, Of
the Republican State committee, claimed
the State by 10000. Outside of Indianapolis
the precincts show a net Republican gain
of ten and fraction to the precinct. The
city precincts throughout the State showed
gain running from nineteen to forty
eight to the precinct, but the estimate pre-
sented in the Journal extra edition is based
on an average gain only of a little more
than ten to the precinct, which is regarded
as very conservative.
On this basis the Republicans have car
ried ten congressional districts, all except
the Second, Third and Fourth. In these
three the returns have been very meager.
1hltIS ID SlNcH d lcdu ONSE SOlOucl f1dTuy
in the Second of three hundred, but If the
Republican gain keeps up as indicated from
the few precincts received from this dis
trict Colonel Hardy will be elected. In the
Third Zenor appears to lead Tracewell by
962 and what was said of the Second is also
true of this district. The estimated vote in
the Fourth gives Holman 149 over Sulzer.
The district will be close. perhaps the clos
est in the State. Congressman Johnson is
undoubtedly elected in the Sixth and Lam
dis will have large majority in the Ninth
over Cheadle. Congressman Leighty car
ries the Twelfth district by at least LOO.
Congressman Overstreet is reelected from
this district by over 1000 anu next to him
Congressman Steele has a majority of more
than 5000.
With the estimates at hand 1t is safe to
say the Legislature is reliably Republican
| on joint ballot.

Mckinley's Plurality in New York
One County Carried by Bryan.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. with less than
one-fourth of the election districts above
the Harlem river to hear from, and with
the vote of New York city and Kings coun-
ty complete, the plurality of Mckinley over
Bryan promises to exceed 100000 in the
State. One county in the State. Schoharie,
which is the home of Chairman Danforth,
OF the State Democratic committee. has
given Bryan plurality of 500.
New York city has broken its political
record of presidential elections. 1t has Civ
en- a Republican plurality for President for
the first time in its history. From 1892 to
1895. with one exception. Democratic pres
idential candidates have never polled less
than 81 per cent. of the total vote of the
city. In 1Sis the detection of Van Buren,
and the Free-soilers cut down the Demo-
cratic vote to less than 80 per cent, but
left small plurality. Even in the Greeley
campaign OF ls72 the Democratic candidate
polleG nearly 80 per cent. The State As
Sc nbly out of 100 members. has III Repub-
Hcans. The Democrats elected thirty
piae, so that on joint ballot of the Legisla-
ture to elect "A successor TO Senator Hill.
the majority will be Republican.
