An Article on the Recent Presi-.
Dental Election Bs1


ss5 Dental Election. M
New York, Dec. 2 In the December
number of the North American Re-
view, published to-day, Mr.. Bryan has
an article in which he discusses the re-
suit of the election as affecting the
status of the silver question. The is
sue on which the election turned he
describes as the 'sgreatest issue ever
submitted to the American people in
time of peace. :" The declarat ton Of the
Chicago convention in favor Of the free
coinage of silver forced upon the peo-
/ PIE OF this country a study Of the
money question in general, and within
the last four months more people have

considerati ton than ever before in the
history Of the world. The result Of
this study, Mr.. Bryan declares to be
temporary defeat but permanent gain
for the cause of bimetallisnl 2
MT. Bryan regards it as a significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had been
longest considered; that Us. to say in
the West and South. In Mr.. Bryan's
opinion the cause Of bimetllism made
more rapid progress than any cause
ever made in such short time. He
expresses his assurance that the cleo
ton can be by no means regarded as q
conclusive settlement Of the question
at issue. The adv coates of free coin
age are convinced, he says, that they
are laboring in behalf of a large ma
jority of the people, not only here, but
throughout the world, and, according
70 the Writer, they propose to continue
their contest, confident that four more
years of experience will convince many
VINO have thus far resisted arguments.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says, is con-
1irmed by the history of recent cleo
lions. Mr.. Greeley was defeated in
1872 and yet Mr.. Tilden was elected in
1876. MI. Blaine was defeated in 1884
but Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1883.
The Republican victory Of 1883 was
followed by the Democratic victory Of
1870 and the election Of President
Cleveland two years later. Mr.. Bryan
sc0unsels the successful party to re-
member that thousands of Republicans
have been held to their party this year
by the pledge that it will try to secure
internatiora al Dinetailisn In reference
to the gold standard Democrats Mr..
Bryan feels assured that they cannot
doa much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their
affection for Democratic principles
while they spare no effort to secure the \
success of the opposing ticket '1They
cannot" he says, disguise themselves
again.
