The Republicans do not dispute the
figures of Mr.. Breidenthal on congress-
men or judges. They do question his
figures, however, on the state ticket.
Returns are coming in very slowly.
Less than 500 precincts out of the ., 1888
have been heard from direct.
The Republicans big loss occurred in
the districts where the labor vote is
heavy. The indications are that the
railroad vote went against the Repub-
lican ticket all over the state.
Chairman Breidenthal said his re-
turns showed that Leedy had carried
ffty-seven counties out of eighty-five
heard from, This leaves twenty vet
to hear from officially, and he says that
reliable estimates from those counties
convince him conclusively that the
Fusion state ticket is elected by at
least 5000 majority. He claims that
the Fusionists will have twenty nine of
the forty senator's.
The Republicans concede the legis-
lature by big majority.

ALTGELD'S VIEWS.
Gives Out a Statement on the Result
of the Election.

Gives Out Statement on the Result
of the Election.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Governor Altgeld
gave out yesterday a statement adj
dressed to the Democrats of Illinois, in
which he says:
although defeated, I desire to
thank you for the loyal support
you have given me, and 1 con-
graduate you upon the heroic fight
you have just made. Consider that
only six months ago our great party
lay PROSTATE. 1t had been betrayed
into the hands of the stock
jobbers and monopolists by Pres
ident Cleveland; it had been
robbed of everything Democratic ex-
cept the name; it stood for no great
principles; it was loaded with political
dead heads; yet it cut loose from the
dominion of trusts and syndicates; it
repudiated the men who betrayed it,
and again proclaimed Democratic prin-
ciples and espoused vhe cause of toiling
humanity. 1t was confronted by
everything that money could buy, that
Doodle could debauch or that fear of
starvation would coerce. 1t was con-
fronted by combination of forces
such as had never been united before
and could probably never be united
again; and, worse still, the time
was too short to educate the public.
While we are defeated, our party
is more vigorous and in better condi-
ton generally than it has been for a
third of century. We have dug the
grave Of the British gold standard.
One more campaign of education will
forever bury the palsied form of that
curse which has blighted prosperity
and happiness to mankind. We may
assume that the coming administration
will be controlled by the men who have
been so prominent in securing this
election.
II believe that at the next general
election the people will reverse the
verdict of yesterday. The return of
prosperity will not come as promised
1t was the great common people of
America and not the rich who saved
our institutions in 1861, and it will do
volve on the great common people of
this country to save free government
in 1900"

REFUSES TO GIVE UP.
Chairman Jones stln Insists That Brya
Is Elected.

Is Elected.
CHICAGO, Nov 5.-Senator Jones is
sued the following statement last
night:
II have counted from the beginning
as the states upon which we relied for
Mr.. Bryan's election, the Southern
states with 1856 votes and the states
west of the Missouri, with 81 votes,
making a total of 217. | have hoped
that we would carry Indiana, Michigan
and Minnesota. believe we have car
ried every Southern state except Mary
land, and that we have carried all the
Western states heretofore counted on,
which leaves us, not counting Della
ware, which l think we have carried,
and which l have not heretofore
calculated on, 200 votes. One vote we
certainly have in Delaware, and proba-
bly, three. But counting only one vote,
which we have beyond doubt. 1t leaves
necessary to choice fourteen votes.
Either Michigan or Indiana would give
us these fourteen votes. The reports
received by us from both these states
are encouraging and lead us to believe
VhuO, WING DObu bJdLCb dTeI ClOSe, we
have the better chance to win each,
and that we may probably carry both.
There can be scarcely doubt of
our getting Indiana. Under these cir
cumstances it seems to me that we are
entirely justified in claiming the cleo
ton OF Mr. Bryan, which do. And 1
believe the temper of the people is
such that they will not allow their
choice to be defeated by tricks and
fraud.
THE statements made again and
again in the city papers that | have
given up the contest and admitted that
Mr.. Bryan is defeated indicate a de-
liberate purpose on the part of the pa
pers as well as the Republican man
ayers to create false impressions in the
minds of the people and lead them to
believe that McKinley's election is
and acquiesced in.
II will not for moment acquiesce
in Mr.. McKinley's election and will |
not until there is material change |
from existing conditions, as believe
Indiana, and probably Michigan, have
voted for Mr.. Bryan, and, if either
has, he is elected

North Carolina.

RALEIGH, n. c., Nov. 5.-Bryan has
undoubtedly carried this state by not
less than 10000. His vote is far in ex-
cess of that of Watson for governor
who is defeated by Russell, Repub-
lican. The Democrats and Populists
have voted solidly for the fusion
electors. Congressman Settle of the
Fifth district is defeated by Kitchen,
Democrat, by 500. The vote in the
Eighth district between Linney, Re-
publican, and Doughtin, Democrat, is
very close and in doubt. The other
seven districts are certainly against
the Democrats. The legislature is
anti Democratic in both houses.

dispute will be made to the president
shortly before congress convenes In
December. It was expected that the

work in Holland have caused delay
The members Of the commission have
been at work on different branches OF
the subject all summer, with view to
reaching decision as early as DOS
sible. Justice Brewer, the chairman
Of the commission, had called a meet
ing Of the commission for October 8.
and It was thought that at that meet
ing all the data could be submitted and
a decision reached. A delay has, how
ever, occurred incident to the work of
Professor Baer, who has been ransack-
ing the Dutch archives in Holland.
His investigation led him to London.
Justice Brewer has now received a
c&blegram from him saying that his
work in London has been completed
and that he will return to Holland.
With the submission Of the re,

will come to an end. No hint as to

''BY the President of the United
States: The people of the United
States should never be unmindful of
the gratitude they owe the God of ma
tions for His watchful care which has
shielded them from disaster and
pointed out to them the way of peace

hearts their proneness to turn away
from Gods teachings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de-
vices.
ION that day let all our people fore
go their usual work and occupation,
and assembled in their accustomed
places of worship, let them with one
accord render thanks to the ruler of
the universe for our preservation as q
nation and our deliverance from every
threatened danger; for the peace thai
has dwelt within our boundaries; for
our defense against disease and pesti-
lence during the year that has passed;
for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors of our husband
men, and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsafed for us.
And let us, through the mediation
OF Him who has taught us how to pray,
implore the forgiveness of our sins and
a continuation of heavenly favor.

few marshals were powerless to pre-

death. It seems that the Indians held
the winning hand.
