show while talking to few of the new s.
paper men who have been with him IN
his tour through the States.
Occasionally a political supporter who
did not know of the understanding among
Mr.. Bryau's friends and neighbors not to
disturb him at this time called at the house
and was cordially received.
Mr. Bryan did not appear in the least
deSpunGent as he lay on a lounge in his
parlor. A reassuring dispat ch from Senator
Jones, chairman Of the n atiOnal committee.
was received at l q M, but Mr.. Eryan
did not care to make 1t public. Kentucky

acter.

New York, Nov i.-There was great ju-
bilation today at Republican national head
quarters over the election Of Mckinley and
Hobart. Committeeman n b. Scott was
very much elatcd over the result. He was
at his desk at q O'Clock. Mr.. Scott spoke
freely on the situation.
Il feel said he, that in the campaign
thus closed the farmer and the laboring
men have been misrepresented. have CON
tended all along during he campaign that
il YOU made clear to the farmer and the
wage-earner the rallacy of free silver, and
he understood it, he would be found voting
