JONES CLAIMS VICTORY.

He Asserts there is No Foundation for the
Republican Claims.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. AT midnight Chair
man Jones gave out the following signed state
ment:
There is no foundation for the claims of
the Republicans. There is at this time, mid
night, no reason to think that any one of the
States claimed by me for Mr.. Bryan has failed
to vote for him. While misleading reports
are being sent out in all directions, private adj
vices assure us that each one of these States
has gone for Mr.. Bryan.
For two hours the most extravaganza claims
as to Kentucky and Indiana have been tele-
graphed all over the country, while within the
last few minutes our committees assure US that
both are safe for US. Mr.. Bryan is certainly
elected"

C0MRADE Will LIAM MCKINLEY
The Next President of the United States
BY AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
The Intelligence and Honesty Country Spoken
in
THE GREATEST POLITICAL VICTORY EVER KNOWN.
RY AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
THE GREATEST POLITICAL VICTORY EVER IN

We have delayed one day going to press with
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE in order to give our
readers something of the result of the great
battle of ballots fought on Tuesday.
At this writing-Wednesday morning-it is
positive that the brains, the good sense, the
honesty of the American people have asserted
themselves in most tremendous rebuke to the
vicious humbuegery and the feariuily danger
ous propositions of the Popocrats. The people
became fully reused to the enormous dangers
threatened by the sscendancy of the malig-
nants and Missionaries who controlled the Chl-
cago Convention and secured Bryan's nomina-
ton and they determined TO crush them SO
utterly that they would never SO affront the
people again.
At this hour the details are very incomplete,
but it is certain that great landslide covered
the whole country. The most sangulne hopes
of Chairman Hanna and other National Repuo-
iican leaders are fully realized. The great
army of unclassfied voters appear TO nave
voted almost as a unit for Mai. Mckinley and
the present financial standard, and he VIII nave
the largest electoral vote received by any Pres
ident in many years. de VIII nave large
popular majority as well.
OF the States looked upon as doubtful ana
claimed by both parties Illinois has gone Tor
Mckinley by over 100000 majority. Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, and lowa-all the Central
West in fact, that seemed to be good lighting
ground-are safely Republican by maJorItles
ranging from $4,000 upward. The Dakotas,
likewise. appear reasonably sure for Mckinley,
and other far Western States are just as con-
fdently claimed by the Republicans.
OF the close Southern States. Maryland ana
West Virginia are surely for Mckinley, while
Tennessee and Kentucky remain uncertain,
though leaning decidedly toward Mckinney.
Tie country vote will decide the contests in
these States Republicans also claim Virginia,
gut late dispatches point to Bryan majority In
The Old Dominion. From Texas scattering re-
turns point to large Republican gains, but the
vote of the Lone Star State is considered
reasonably safe for the Democrats.
Generally speaking, the fusion with the
Populists, save in some of the Southern States,
has been more than Offset by Democratic de-
sertions. The gold Democratic ticket polied
but a small vote. Democrats who opposed Mr.
Bryan and the Chicago platform voted largely
for the Republican nominees This was fore
gone conclusion.
The following table shows the seeming result
ct this hour. Fuller returns will increase tue
proportions of Maj. Mckinley's victory:

verdict Of the people will bring into line many

WANTED TO DE LOCKED UP.
Crazy WOman's Appeal to the PO-
lice For Protection.

A Crazy WOman's Appeal to the PO-
lice For Protection.
A Morping News reporter was sitting at
the barracks last night talking with Chief
McDermott and Detective Wetherhorn,
when a woman came in hurriedly through
the sallyport and entered the sergeant
office What little clothing she had on
was in disorder, and it was evident that
something was wrong. The first an
nouncement that she made was that she
had come to have herself locked up un-
til morning. This rather unusual request
attracted attention at once.
why what's the matter?" demanded
Acting Sergt. Davis.
The woman proceeded to unfold a long
tale of woe about a named Henderson
who wanted to kill her, because his daugh-
ter had seen her at a window opposite
and somebody else had told the daughter
to keep away from the door, because the
house was being given bad name. and
the daughter had declared her intention
of killing this woman, the complainant,
and a policeman had been called in, who
wrestled for two hours with the daughter
and then went off without arresting any
body and now the girls father was look
ing for her with a knife.
"Why that woman's crazy" exclaimed
| Chief McDermott. ~ on say he wants to
kill your" he inquired of the woman.
Yves, sir; he's looking for me with u
I knife right now"
And you want to be locked up until
morning." inquired the chief.
| Eyes, sir"
well, that's right. Just go right down
there and tell that policeman to lock you
| up"
These crazy people are getting awful
accommodating to come in here to be lock :
| ed and save us the trouble of sending
after them" remarked the chief as the
woman trotted down to the station house.
The woman said that her name was Oc-
tavia, and that she had only been in Sa-
| Vannah about two months.

LETTERS STILL THE TALK.
THE LIBERAL CLUB COMMITTEE
HAS NOT YET REPORTED.

No Action Taken in Reference to
Inc County Omcials' RepIIes-The
OmcIaIs rs Mum as Ever and the
Committee Has Nothing to Give
Out-COunty Commissioners TO Con-
slider Election Arrangements To-
day.
Political talk and discussion about the
letters written to the county officials has
never ceased, though there have been no
further developments in connection with
them.
The county officers themselves are as
mum as ever, and the committee has not
considered the matter of giving the let
ters out for publication. and to all ap,
pearances will not do so. Friends Of
Sheriff Roman and Tax Collector Meow
an say they will not answer the letters
at ALL Both of those officials refuse either
to affirm or deny this statement.
Il do not see where there could posi-
bly, have been any doubt with regard 10
their sentiments toward the A. p. A, re-
marked friend of both gentlemen yes
terday. 1T is unnatural to suppose that
they, of all others In the court house,
should be members of or favor the Or
ganization, built, as it is on principles.
one of which at least has for its object
the undermining of their faith and the
prescription of those who belong to their
church. But, on the other hand, there
is no reason that ] can see, why they
should be made to come out and speak
against or denounce it. There is no rea-
son why they, as public officials, should
be brought into local partisan politics If
they desire to avoid 1t. In their first race
haK- xua ole Cd It'd sl..,,t
dates, and they have always been indie
pendent since, simply asking the support
of the people, and not of a particular fac
ton. Under these circumstances 1 can
see no good reason why they should now
be brought into partisan politics."
Inquiries developed the fact that these
views are being expressed very freely
among many of the politicians and
among many independent voters.
The Liberal Club committee which had
the matter in hand has not as yet made
up its report to the advisory committee,
and no action whatever has been taken
with regard to the replies. Much inter-
est centers upon what the club will do In
the matter.
The county commissioners will hold
their regular monthly meeting this af-
ternoon at O'Clock. Very little outside of
the regular routine business will come be-
fore them, though they will probably have
for consideration the matter of providing
two polling places each for the First and
Fourth districts in the coming election.
ON account of the large vote registered
in these districts 1t is stated both factions
are DESTROYS of having two polling places,
and 1t is believed the commissioners will
arrange for them. The matter of arrang-
ing the details of the polling places and
providing for the election managers will
probably be left to the committee on cleo
tions which viii hold a meeting at a later
date

The Police Suspect the Captured
Burglar Is an Ex-COnvict.
William Allen, the negro burglar who
robbed the houses of Rev. w. A. Nisbet
and Mr.. John Wyness, was turned over to
the superior court by Mayor Myers yes
terday to be tried on two charges of bur-
glary.
Allen seemed to be delighted at this turn
of affairs and his manner has set the de-
tectives to studying. Joe Thomas. who
was trying to pawn a chain for Allen, and
who was arrested at the same time, said
that he worked with Allen at the Royal
Poir ciana at Palm Beach last winter,
where Allen had the boot-black stand
Thomas claimed to know nothing further
of him, until he met him in Savannah the
other day.
The detectives noticed that the palms of
Aliens hands are covered with heavy
callus which ne evidently did not get
while shining shoes. 1t Is their opinion
that Allen has been doing time in some
ohaing-gang or penltentiary, and that he
has recently escaped. Thomas was held
for further investigation, but nothing has
been discovered as yet to fasten any charge
upon him.

Tybee railroad matter as regards the ces-

The city council will meet this after
noon in regular session. The reply of
Health Officer Drummer TO DIR. lie Hardy's
recent structures on Savannah's policy in
quarantine and sanitation, referred to the
city council by the sanitary board, is like
ly to be the most interesting matter be-
fore the meeting.
1t is feared that some of the most in
terestng portions Of DIR. Brunners reply
will not be given to the public, it being
understood that the sanitary board con
sidered the reply little too warm in
parts, and that it will be toned down be-
fore going TO the council and to the pub
lie.
The fact that the council is short one
alderman seems to have been overlooked
by the members of the board. 1t has been
some time now since Alderman Carolan
resigned, and as yet there has been no
move to elect his successor. Evidently
aspirants for aldermanic honors are few,
but it would seem that some patriotic
citizen might be induced to take upon
himself the duties Of the office.
