Up to this time we are in the dark as
to the object of the election contests
begun by candidates for the legislature
from this county who failed to get a
plurality of votes on the face of the
returns. The election on the Sd of No
vembar was quiet and orderly. No
fraudulent practices by election boards
have been reported and nobody claims
that the returns have been tempered
with by the canyaSScrs. The mere fact
that the fusion element will have Il large
majority in the incoming legislature
constitutes no valid excuse for trump
ing up election contests which not only
put the men, who hold certificates to
needless expense, but will eventually
saddle big bill of expenses upon the
state. TO assume that men duly elected
will be ousted by men who were not
elected merely to swell the majority of
the dominant element in the legislature
would be setting Il precedent that could
not fail to react on the party or parties
who established it. Unless. therefore.

or miScOunting are made during the

ment of the Presidential situation was

OF the Chicago headquarters, Peoples
Party COMMITTEES:
ITO the Voters OF the United States:
"Our facilities for receiving the cleo
ton returns are equal to any. We know
from private advices and the returns up
10 date that Mckinley is not elected.
On the other hand. the latest returns
justify our claim that Mr. Bryan is
elected 1t Is one of the peculiarities of
Republican enterprise that they always
claim everything In sight a few hours
after election.
I'm 1876. as we'll as in 1854, It was not
known for three or four days which can
didate had won. Although the early re-
turns indicated Republican success,
Democratic followed. Again. four years
ago, She early returns favored Harri-
sons election, while the subsequent ones
elected Cleveland. This year the early
returns favored Mckinley because they
came from the Eastern and Middle
States and from the cities of other
states. while the returns from the South
and West were withheld so as to stam-
pede public sentiment that Mckinley
was elected, whether he was or not and
thus create sentiment in advance which
would operate to his advantage in case
the election was contested. while on the
other hand. had the first returns an
nounced Bryan's success, and n contest
resulted there would be an uprising of
the people through the fear of rene
tition of the Tilden episode.
We have positive evidence that the
Republican National Committee have
wired their State committees to claim
certain states which are in doubt, fear
ing that the subsequent returns might
indicate Rryan's election. We shall soon
vigorously press the question. viz: If it
is for the purpose of manipulating them
why are they held back?
We want the American people to be
patient and calm, and to wait for the
official returns, and pay no attention to
the false reports sent out by manipulate
Ing committees. we are also feel jusii-
is elected he will be seated. The will
of the people will never again he de
ieated through the manipulation of re-
turning boards to capture the Presi-
dency. The political crime of 1876 will
be resisted If repeated
The returns this evening indicate
that Mr.. Bryan will carry all of the
States west of the Missouri river ana
south of the Ohio and Potomac which.
without Maryland and Delaware, make
200 votes. Delaware is still In doubt, but
are sure OF one elector, which makes 2lO.
add TO this Michean's IA votes or In
diana's 10 votes and 1t insures Bryan's
election. The returns from both of these
States now show positive gains for
Bryan in all of the suburban districts
The claims Of the Republicans were
based upon the reports from the cities.
Now that we arr hearing from the
country the situation is rapidly chang
ing. The Republicans are becoming
