Marked Effect Of the Election ON
American Securities

LONDON, November 4.-The election of
Maj. Mckinley to the presidency of the
United States had a marked effect upon
American securities here today. business

to buy. Milwaukee and Louisville led
the advance, quickly followed by the en-

According to the general impression, the

Mckinley's victory favorably affected the

A leading English stock broker, in an
interview with representative of the AS

and we feel justified in claiming that
these early republican reports are for the
purpose of preparing the country to be-
heve Mckinley is elected, whether he is
or not, and in case of a close vote, should
contest be made. 1t would operate to
their advantage. We are not justified in
yielding single one of the states which
We have claimed. At / am. all reports
that We have received justify us in be-
lieving that Bryan is elected. If we carry
Indiana and Michigan, and reports
Justify us in claiming them We can lose
Kentucky, which we still claim; Maryland,
Delaware and West Virginia, and Still win.
The reports from Indiana and Michigan
are from the sections having the best
telegraph facilities and We expected them
to be republican. Our strength lies in
the rural districts. which will not be heard
from until tomorrow. The few towns We
have heard from indicate great gains and
will Offset the republican gains in the
larger cities. 1 think you will agree with
me in this said Mr.. Washburn. turning
to Senator Jones.
Il do most emphatically," said he. They
can't figure out McKinley's election to-
night. Its purely a game Of bluff. We
have the same facilities as they for ar
riving at results and there is no justifica-
tion in their returns
What Don Dickinson Said.
Melville E. Stone, general agent of the
Associated Press, received the following
telegram from Don Dickinson:
I'm reply to your letter and telegram. my
opinion is that sectional prejudice has beer
stamped out by all sections. The Michigan
democrats have fred both barrels at the
unmistakable enemies of the republic, with
no bad cartridge in either barrel. Put
Michigan down republican and opposed
to reputation and the Chicago conspiracy
by upward of $1,000. Our democracy wears
the signs Of their treatment by the Chicago
convention as badges of honor.
(Signed) DON NJ. DICKINSON"
Result in Delaware.
Or account of the length of the ticket
ard much scratching the count of the vote
in Delaware was very slow. Up to o'clock
not one fourth of the districts had been
reported. Enough was known, however to
indicate surely that Mckinley has carried
the state by about / 600 majority.
In other respects, owing to the division
of the republican party into two factions,
the democrats were successful. They elect
ed Tunnel governor and Handy to Congress
by about 500 plurality each. They have
also elected a majority of the legislature.

A Wine Sale.

Early last month Consul Claude Meeker
reported to the Department of State the
contemplated sale by auction at Bradford
of 10000 dozen bottles of champagne re-
exported from New York. He now reports
the sale, which took place on the 14th ui-
timo. The placing Of this large amount of
champagne on the market at one time
alarmed the French wine exporters and
their agents. They began to circulate re-
standard consumed in England, and repre-
sented 1t as containing from 10 to II per
cent of liqueur sweetening, which rendered
1t entirely unsuitable fer the English mar
ket. Nevertheless, the sale was considered
a success, and the prices realized were con-
sidered satisfactory, from $4,000 to 500 900
being realized. The sale was made on ac-
count of New York bankers.

The News as It Came in the Small
Hours.
INCREASING CLAIMS FOR M'KINLEY
State After State Hurled Into His
Column.
SLOW, UNTIN G

Early returns last night soon built up a
big Mckinley column. Reports came from
the east first and gradually from the south
and west with increasing additions to the
republican list Of states.
At 1:30 pm. reports received at the
headquarters of the republican national
committee in Chicago indicated that the
doubtful states of Michigan, Minnesota, IL
linois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland
and Nebraska had gone for Mckinley.
Chairman Jones, however, refused to con-
cede any of the middle western states to
Mckinley. with the exception Of Illinois.
which he conceded, but by a small plural
ity. He was confident that later reports
would materially change the complexion of
the returns, which had SO far been from
strongly republican districts. National
Committeeman Campau at that hour
claimed Bryan had carried Michigan by at
least 1000 plurality, and that returns from
the mountain districts Of Kentucky and
Tennessee would show that those states
had also been carried by the Nebraskan.
Chairman Jones Claims Victory.
At midnight Chairman Jones issued the
following dispatch:
There is no foundation for the claims
of the republicans. There Is. at midnight.
no reason to think that any one of the
states claimed by me for Mr. Bryan has
failed to vote for him. While the mislead-
ing reports are being sent out in all direc-
tions, private adviceS assure us that each
one of these states has gone for Mr.. Bryan.
For two hours the most eXtravagant claims
as to kentucky and Indiana have been
telegraphed all over the country, while
within the last few minutes our committees
assure US that both are safe for us. If this
is tEue Mr.. Bryan is certainly elected"
Chairman Dan McConville of the Ohio
democratic executive committee stated AT
1890 that h thought the later returns
would show democratic gains in Ohio to
offset the heavy republican gains In Ham
iton, Franklin and other counties He
said that 1t looked If the republicans
had carried the state, but was unwilling 10
give figures until fuller returns had been
received.
At midnight Chairman Sam Roberts of
the kentucky republican campaign COM
mittee gave out the following:
"kentucky has gone for Mckinley by a
larger majority than 1t gave to Bradley
last year. Early returns indicated 1900 10
2o,0ou majority. but surprisingly heavy
democratic gains in the populist silver

cgbs have elected congressman in six dis
trictS and several are in doubt Those
elected are: Hunter. in the third: Evans, in

Now another element of uncertain
ty is introduced concerning the mean
ing of the democratic platform.
Some claim that an amendment was
added which pledged the party to do
nothing which would change exist
ing contracts. Others deny it. The
only safe way is to wait for Rryan's
letter Of acceptance and let him de-
fine his position.-Ricevilie Recorder.
Good brother don't, we beg of you,
don't get nervous. The democratic
demand is that existing contracts
shall not be changed in the
interest of the money brokers. The
government does not owe dollar,
Except gold certificates but may be
paid in silver. The democratic de-
mand is that they be thus paid as it
is SO nominated in the bond. The
republican platform seeks to break
the contract in the interest of the
gold gamblers and to the detriment
of the people. That's all there is
about it brother, and the dear peo-
pie fully understand your cry of stop
theft" and its motive.

Admitting the Truth.

The New York World is chief am
ong the papers, classed as democratic
which object to the Chicago platform.
But the World is far better than the
average plutocratic organ. 1t does
not rely upon abusive language for
its source of supplies in any contro-
versy. Neither does it give promi-
nence to misstatements relative to
facts, public conditions or the ends
sought to be attained by those with
whom it differs.
In its comments upon the populist
platform adopted at st. Louis it
frankly admits several things, and
asks very pointed question in the
following language:
The premble of the populists' plat
form states their grievance. The fl
nancial planks prescribe their reme-
dy. 1t is useless to deny that many
of the complaints are just, even
through contending that the pro-
posed remedies are wrong and
dangerous. 1t will no longer do to
ignore these complaints or to answer
with epithets those who make them.
The Democratic convention named
substantially the same grievances.
Two parties, one old and great, the
other new but terribly in earnest,
and both together representing a
majority of sthe voters at the last
presidential election, are not made
up of socialists, anarchists or lunatics.
They would not thus agree in de-
nouncing injustice and wrong in the
government without some substantial
basis Of truth for their complaint.
The populists affirm their "allegi.
ance to the principles declared by
the founders of the Republic" They
declare that important functions of
the government have been basely
surrendered by our public servants
to corporate monopolies," They in
sist that ''the influence of money
changers has been more potent in
shaping legislation than the voice OF
the people," They charge that pluto.
cracy has superseded democracy.
Making due allowance for heated
campaign exaggeration are these al
legations wholly without reason? Are
not the equal rights of equal citizens
as ordained by the fathers practically
nullified for the masses when money
decides elections, when individual
opportunity is destroyed by corpor
ate monopoly, when federal taxes ar.
levied almost wholly upon the con
sumption of common necessaries ant
not at all upon accumulated wealth
When tariff bill is openly writer
by the Representatives of allied trust
in return for campaign contribution
and for the eXaction of new bountie
from the people, is not the taxing
power surrendered to private greed
When large issue of government
bonds, forced by conspiracy o
money changers, are secretly sold t,
a bankers syndicate for millions o
dollars less than their value, and tn
spectacle is again presented today OF
the nations treasury dependent OF
the favor of Lord Protector in Wal
street, is not the indictment at ST
Louis in a large measure justified?

That Tariff Chasm.

The McKinley-Hobart orator of
last evening who found that wages
had dropped, and work disappeared,
and wrinkles had come in the stom-
achs" and wheat had dropped to SO
cents, under Democratic administra-
tion-under the present gold stand
ard' administration, if you please
said that all these dire events were
due to difference between Republ-
can and democratic tariff bills.
Well what's the difference between
the late republican and the present
democratic tariff bill? On page 24S of
the Statistical Abstract for 1895, is
sued by the government bureau of
statistics under direction of the sec
rotary of the treasury, we find that
wonderful and chimerical tariff chasm.
Here it is:
The average I'D valorem rate of
duty on all imports, free and dutiable
entered for consumption for the year
ending June 30, was
Per Ct.
In 1894, under the Mckinley
tariff..................... 2O.25
In 1895, under the German
Wilson tariff. 2O.23
That tariff chasm, therefore, is .O2
of per cent-1-50 of per cent,
One-fiftieth of per cent in tariff is
what has produced ''those wrinkles
in the stomachs"-that have come
under the present gold standard"
One-fiftieth of per cent in tariff
duty is what has thrown labor out of
work and stricken down wages-un-
der the present gold standard"
One-fiftieth of per cent of tariff
duty is what has produced 5O-cent
wheat, 15.cent corn, 10-cent oats, s.
cent potatoes, 1-cent cabbages. and
Scent butter-under the present
gold standard

and the difference between the Nc
