Business Feel. the Impulse.

Many signs have already been given of
the business confidence inspired by the re-
suit of the presidential election. A dra-
matte exhibition of this was given at the
big iron industries in North Tonawanda,
n. Y, yesterday afternoon when the plant
was formally put INTO full operation. Large
stacks of kindling wood were piled up in
the furnaces and saturated with kerosene.
An electric wire connected the piles with
the Mckinley residen ,e in Canton and at
just $3.50 the Pfesi1ent-elect pressed the
button and lighted the fires, while the band
played and everybody in Tonawanda sent
up great shout
1t is estimated that not less than one
hundred millions of capital will be released
in Chicago alone and used TO start the
wheels of business.
From other parts of the country come
similar reports. The Pennsylvania rail-
road company has ordered notices posted
in the freight handling department and re-
pair shops at Pittsburg to put all the men
on full time and to increase the working
force to the number worked during the
busy season. Eight hundred men will be
put to work. The glass factories of the
city are hiring new men and will begin
running on full time,

about o'clock their approach was heralded
on the main streets of the town by the me-

beat of drums and other instruments of
torture. The parade was made up of
young politicians from among the best
families, aged from FIVE to IA, or there
about, who gave vent TO their enthusiasm
in the lusty cry
"Hurrah for Mckinley.
He's our man.
We can't vote,

The House OverVVhe InIngIy Republican,
and n Safe Sound-Money Majority In
the Senate.
While it is impossible to make an esti-
mate of the Fifty-ffth Congress that will
run the gauntlet of "later returns" enough
is known to justify the statement that
sound money will control both Senate and
House by an overwhelming majority. This
does not mean that the Senate will have a
Republican sound-money majority, but that
sound-money Republicans and sound mon
ey Democrats will control on financial ques-
tions. In the Senate the Republicans will in
all probability gain senators from Kentucky,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, New
York, South Dakota, Wisconsin and " ash
ington. Free silver has now 40 votes in
the Senate 1t will have but ~ after March,
1897.
Vest is doomed to retirement from Mis-
souri,; voorhees, will be beaten in Indiana;
ingalls, may return from Kansas; Hill will
be followed by a Republican from the
state of New York.
The House of Representatives will be Re
publican by nearly, if not quite, 100 ma
jority. The Democrats come out of the
election wi very few solid delegates to
the next House. Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina,
form the short line of "solid" states. "Sil-
yer Dick" Bland is probably beaten in
Missouri, but collector" Holman has
been once more elected from Indiana.
All sections of the country contributed
to the victory for sound money. New Eng
land stands at the head Of the roll of honor
with a solid sound-money delegation, ex-
cept for John f. Fitzgerald, elected as a
frees silver Democrat from the Ninth Mas
sachusetts district. Iowa and Wisconsin
send solid delegations. Minnesota sends
six Republicans, with one district in doubt.
The Republicans have carried all but two
of the Illinois districts, and may have a
Democrats will be returned from Indiana.
The southern states have done all that
could possibly be expected of them. All
of the Republican leaders of national prom
inence have been returned to the House,
while some of the champions of free silver
have been swept under by the tidal wave.
Resrepentative Charles A. Towne, by far
the ablest advocate of free coinage in either
| House of Congress, who bolted the Repub-
lican party after the st. Louis convention,
will be succeeded by Page Morris, a sound
money Republican. In the second Min
nesota district James T. McCleary, whose
reply in the House of Representatives to Mr..
Towne's silver speech was the strongest
sound-money document used in the cam
paign, was elected over Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Day, renegade Republican.
The sound-money Democrats will have
small band of able champions in the
House of Representatives. Josiah Palmer
son of Tennessee and William Elliot OF
North Carolina will be among the most
| conspicuous members.

The Eject on the stock Market.

Stocks in New York opened Wednesday
morning amid a whirl OF excitement, and
under a perfect food of buying orders
prices bounded up from l to .6s per cent
as compared with Mondays finals. The
great factor at work was the overwhelming
victory for the sound money. The election
of Mckinley and sound money Congress
by decisive majorities led to the most active
and broad speculation that has been wit
messed since the upheaval which followed
President Cleveland's Venezuelan message
last December Then the market sustain
ed tremendous break, but Wednesday
morning exactly the opposite took place.
Prices went up with a rush, many stocks
scoring gains of as much as to 63 per
cent.
In London there was boom in Ameri-
can securities and great rush Of business
due to the news from America.

w1LM1NGToN's NEW INDUSTRY.

Hosea Mann, jr., of Wilmington, has
added steam power, work shops and va
rious kinds of machinery to the old mill at
the outlet of Lake Raponda, transforming
1t into plant which bids fair to become
an important factor in the development of
the town. The plant is TO be used for the
manufacture Of the "Raponda reclining
chair and has a capacity of about so
chairs per day. Ii is said that these chairs
surpass in simplicity, comfort and cheap
ness any reclining chair on the market.
The chair is made of birch and maple
and finished in stain and natural wood.
1t can be compactly folded in an instant
and is so constructed as TO automatically
adapt itself to any position that may be as
snmed without the inconvenience of any
of the adjustments required in reclining
chairs now on the market. 1t can also, II
desired, be made into swing by attaching
suspended ropes to the corners Of the
arms. The invention is fully protected by
letters patent.

Hanna VIII Take no once.

Mark Hanna gave supper Tuesday
night to a few personal friends, at the
Union club in Cleveland, in celebration of
the close of the campaign. Before the
party broke up Mr.. Hanna made short
speech at the close of which he made the
announcement that no official position
could tempt him to give up his home in
Cleveland and his daily associations with
the friends with whom his life has been
spent. The incident has been much dis
cussed in political circles. 1t had been
taken for granted that Mr.. Hanna would
occupy a distinguished place in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration, and his declara-
ton is regarded as a crushing reply to the
insinuations of the enemy that anything
except patriotism and devotion had die
tated his recent action. 1t is admitted that
no office could add to the distinction he
has gained by the magnificent campaign
which he has brought to such triumphant
close

this idea of success got around in the world.

regretted after the lapse of many years.

endeavor and right living, and yet never

got great fortunes and high political po-
sitions by smartness and trickery and be-

quoted far and wide, know how little real
respect is felt for them. But this remi-

Before the Election and After.

While confidence in McKinley's election
was almost universal there was a steady
withdrawal of gold from the treasury for
boarding, amounting to 5000, 900 day for
the month Of October. Last Friday the
Withdrawals at the New York sub-treasury
reached 100000. Monday there was
line of timid people drawing out gold all
day long, and the aggregate for the day
rose to $1,250,000.
An interesting sequel TO these operations
came Wednesday when a number of per-
sons who had withdrawn gold for fear of
Bryan's election carried it back to the sub
treasury and wanted to exchange it for
greenbacks. They were dumbfounded
when they learned that Assistant Treasurer
Jordan refused to take the gold. The gov
eminent, which for four years has been
struggling so hard to maintain its gold
reserve, actually declined gold. The thing
seemed almost incredible to belief-and
it was all due to the sound-money victory.

Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah on Tues
day, the first time in the two states last

The election of Mckinley is accepted by
the leading newspapers of Europe as re-
newed demonstration of the ability of the
American people to govern themselves.
One of the largest election bets was made
by A. S. Stratton, owner of the famous In
dependence mine in Colorado, who put up
100000 on Bryan against $500, 900 owned
by New York syndicate.
Ex-County Treasurer Harry H. Adams
was arrested in Brooklyn, N. Y, Wednes-
day, charged with larceny of public funds.
1t is claimed that there is deficit of $780,

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Interest in the ELECTION.

Political matters have taken the atten-
tion of citizens most of this week, some
days but little business being done. The
result of the vote in town was a surprise
to every one, it being unexpected that it
would be larger than in September. No
effort was made by any one to get out the
vote, and the largest number of votes ever
cast in town only attest the deep interest
felt everywhere in the result. Nine hum
bred and forty votes were cast in Septem-
Der, TAT being for the Republican ticket
and 100 for the Democratic. Tuesdays
result was total of 979, of which McKin-
ley had 761, Bryan 1853, Palmer 50.
This shows an increase in the Republican
vote, and decided decrease in the straight
Democratic, as those who observed the vot-
ing most closely say the 80 sound money
votes were probably almost without excep-
ton cast by Democrats who refused to
vote either way in the state election.
More extensive arrangements were made
for furnishing early returns than ever be-
fore, they being sent in bulletin form to
the opera house, four clubs, and by special
wire TO the Y. M. @. A. rooms, which
were crowded to their greatest capacity all
the evening. Many citizens who seldom
exhibit interest stayed at the various
places watching results till and 2 o'clock
in the morning. About 2 o'clock nearly
rs of the young men started out with the
drum corps and torches, parading the
streets in all parts of the town. Fire works
and cannon greeted them at various points.
Wednesday little was talked in town but

The returns received in New York yes
terday did not alter the figures in the cleo

the United Associated Presses, which gave
Mckinley 277 votes and Bryan 10 votes.
South Dakota and Wyoming, the former
being credited to Mckinley and the latter
to Bryan, are close. The latest returns
from Kentucky place It confidently in the
Republican column.
