and it is to those we write this ar
ticle, hoping that when and where
ever they meet such a rumor they
will remember the origin of it.
But we will say that perhaps we
are to some extent to blame for this
impression, from the fact that we
sell the very best goods we can get
at prices the people Lave not been ac>
customed to. This may have created
the excitement. But dent be
alarmed, We notified you at the
start that we would sell goods cheap,
and gave the reasons why we could
do so as follows:
LIST. We buy for cash and get
discounts.
End; We sell for cash, avoiding
book,keepers' salary and bad ac-
counts.
3rd. An experienced buyer can
buy goods cheap.
In conclusion, let us say that we

Fraud and Coercion Won

Americans Abide the Result

Chicago, Nov. 6.-At a late
hou-st night, Chairman Jones
issued the following statement:
"The result of the presiden
tial election is apparently no
longer in doubt. 1t has been
one of the closest contests that
the people have been called on
TO determine in recent years.
We have claimed the election
on our advices from states that
were admittedly in doubt, in
which we knew there had been
many frauds, and from which
there were evidences Of tarnper
ing with returns. 1t seems now
to be apparent that while Mr..
Bryan is making the most bril-
liant campaign in the history
of our country and has carried
most of the states claimed to
be doubtful, however, he has
not carried enough to assure
success in the electoral college.
Bryan electors have been chos
en- from all of the states south
of the Potomac and Ohio eX.
cept West Virginia, and all
those west of the Missouri ex-
cept California and Oregon.
He has 100 electoral votes and
this number may be increased
by final returns from this state,
yet in question. He, however,
will not obtain enough votes to
carry the electoral college.
Thus, this remarkable cam
paign. closes with the election
of William Mckinley.
