Moody hurls his ana
thema against il. the matter requires some
attention The ppibome OF Mr. Moody's
bill of Indictment against Sunday papers
is that they are filled with objectionable
reading matter; that they keep people
away from church; that their publication
compels editurs,, reporters, printers, and
zoo, 600 newsboyS to work on Sunday. and
that they are unnecessary and hurtful. If
all these counts in the Indictment were true
and susceptible of proof they would con
stitute severe accusation against the
Sunday newspaper But fortunately such
is not The case Let us examine them
seriatim.
First, then, as to the Sunday papers be-
ing filled with objectionable reading
matter If that were true, the daily
newspapers ought To be included in the
condemnation, because the same class of
news that fills The columns OF the latter
also goes into the columns of the former
Added TO it are carefully selected liter
airy, scientific, humorous, religious and
other articles, intended to interest all
classes of readers and To give offense To
none. The development of the Sunday
paper has been such that il has become
the poor mans library, for it supplies
him with information on subjects concern
ing which he would otherwise remain
in ignorance. or really Objectionable mat
ter but little will be found in the ma ajority
OF papers.
People who can be kept away from
| church by the sunday paper have probably
never been over anxious to go there; GER
tainIy there is no reason why they should
not go TO church and read their paper
| after they return. As TO the working
I forces required to get out the Sunday
paper Mr.. Moody's objections are not well
/ taken. If they are deserved anywhere
/ lac should direct them against the Mon
! day morning paper, which require It's
4 entire force to work all day Sunday, not
an inconslderable portion of that work be-

/ services in general. The work for the
! Sunday paper is all done by O'Clock in
! the morning and most OF it before that
hour. And those 2OO, 900 newsboys. Has
Mr. Moody ever thought into how many

bring some show of comfort. Does he

SOUTH DAKOTA.

PIERRE, S. OAK, Nov. 4.-The returns
from South Dakota are exasperatingly
slow and the indications are that the State
has perhaps gone less than 1000 for either
Bryan or Mckinley. ALI the returns that
have come in tonight show Bryan gains.
Lawrence County. in the center OF the
Black Hills, has just reported majority
of 500 for Bryan. The Republicans had
been claiming that county all day. A
majority of the counties seem TO have gone
Populist and the Legislature appears at
this hour to have a Populist majority.
The incomplete returns now indicate that
both Populist Congressmen are elected
and probably the Populst State officers.
1t may take official returns TO decide
South Dakota.
YANKTON, S. OAK, Nov. 4.-From
present indications the Legislature will be
very close on joint ballot and may posi-
bly, have a small majority for the silver
ties. Tnirty-five thousand votes are yet to
be received and it may be impossible to
know the result in this State tonight.

LINCOLN. NEBR, Nov. 4-Returns by
counties, which began coming in to-day,
merely served TO emphasize what was ap-
parent early this rnorning-that BRYAN and
the entire fusion State ticket have carried
in Nebraska. The plurality will not be
sweeping, but each betated precinct
which comes in seems to make more de-
cisive the victory. Republicans have not
yet ceased hoping, and Chairman Post
will not concede defeat, but it will take

detection seems TO have been largest in
the cities and towns, where heretofore has

Both parties now claim the electoral and

A conservative view of the situation is
that the State will be carried by less than
300 plurality, and complete returns from
every county in the State will be necessary
to determine which party will have this
plurality. The State Legislature will be

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. At has
been day of uncertainty and anxiety in
Indiana. There was in the late returns
last night and in those up to noon to-day
a steady decline in the percentage OF Re.
publican gains as additional precincts
were reported that led the Democratic
State Committee and the Democratic
newspapers to claim the State. The bull
letin boards have been surrounded all day
with vast crowds of people making the
streets impossible. They stood IN the
rain ana cheered the slightest indication
of anything favorable to their side of the
case in Indiana, but they had no patience
for returns from other States, apparently
being convinced that it all depended upon
Indiana.
The returns to the Democratic State
Committee are very meager. but do not
differ materially from the Republican re-
turns from the same counties. There are
ninety-two counties in the State. Com
plete returns from sxty-two of these
counties, with others estimated from very
nearly complete returns, favor Mckinley
by 1908. Returns entire cannot change
these figures more than 1000 at most.
These returns for the most part come in
the shape of pluralities by counties and
the vote cannot be given until the official
count is made tomorrow.
The Republicans have carried both
branches of the Legislature and have a
majority of thirty-two on joint ballot,
thus assuring the election of Republican
to succeed Senator Voorhees,. They have
elected nine congressman and the fusion
lists have elected one silver Republican
and three Democrats. The following have
been elected: James i. Hemenway R.,
w. r. Meyers D., w. T. Zener D., w. s.
Holman D.. George w. Faris R.. Henry q.
Johnson r., Jesse Overstreet R., Charles
L. Henry R., Joseph B. Cheadle S. R., E.
d. Crumpacker R., George w. Steele
r.. w F. Robinson R., w. A. Royse r.
At 10 o'clock tonight Chairman Martin
of the Democratic State Committee con-
cedes the State to Mckinley by %, 900, but
claimed the election of five Congressman,
Miers in the Second District, Zenor in the
Third, Holman in the Fourth, Cheadle in
the Ninth and Robinson in the Twelfth
The Republicans concede all these but
Cheadle, claiming the election of Lands
by 500.

IOWA.

d. DES MONIES, Iowa. Nov. 4.-The re-
turns from Iowa are not yet complete, but
indicate that the National Republican
ticket has carried the State by not less
than 10000. and possibly $4,000. plurality
over the fused Democrats and Populists.
Palmer and Backner will receive not over
1000 votes. The sound money Democra tic
committee claims that from 10000 10
$4,000 Democrats voted for Mckinley.
ABOUT quarter of the fusion vote is cast
by the Populists.
The Republican State ticket, headed by
Secretary Of State and including Auditor,
Treasurer, Supreme Judge, Attorney
General and Railroad Commissioner, is
elected by about the same figure as the
National ticket. The fusion extended to
State and Congressional tickets.
The Republicans have elected the entire
eleven Congress men by the following plu-
ralities: First District, S. NJ. Clark, $500;
Second, George NJ. Curtiss. $500; Third, D.

PORTLAND. Or, Nov. 4.-Complete

commercial and shipping circles are well
satisfied with the result of the election IN
America.
When the extent of the majority re-
ceived by Mckinley was made known on
the Stock Exchange this forenoon the
spectators became greatly excited. The
exchange was crowded at an early hour
and the bidding at the opening was very
active, resulting in advances in prices OF
from one to six points, Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul and Louisville and Nash
vile leading in the rise.
In Glasgow mercantile circles it is be-
lieved the result of the election will stimu-
late exports to the United States. and
there is a desire to rush export trade as
much as possible before Mckinley takes
his seat, the general expectation being
that high tariff of at least cents will
be imposed upon sugar.
A leading merchant of Glasgow said to
representative of the United Associ-
ated Presses that the speculator will not
be likely TO lose anything even at the
tariff mentioned. seeing that sugar is SELL
ing at 9s. hundredweight.
Shipowners do not expect to reap anv
benefit from the election. as most steam
ers are already chartered for the opening
months of 1897.

day in all departments.

VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE.

Newspapers Rejoice In the Over
throw of Anarchism.
CHICAGO, ILL. Nov. 4.-The Tribune
in leader this morning sums up the sit
uation as follows: The East, as was ex-
pected. went solidly for Mckinley. The
Middle West has repudiated Altgeldism
and the silver heresy, and presents a solid
front to the enemy. Illinois magnificent
majority is nearly equaled by Iowa and
Wisconsin, while Minnesota and Indiana
have done nobly. Kentucky and Mary
land are undoubtedly Republican. Wes.
Virginia seems to be safe for KcKinley,
and Tennessee is claimed for the Republi-
can ticket. Delaware is Republican, and
the Republican fusion ticket in Texas
may have worked the greatest wonder OF
ali. and taken the Lone Star State from
the Democratic column. This would give
Mckinley at least ten more votes. 1t is
doubtful how the other five would vote.
Bryan own State, North and South Da-
kota are probably Republican. Missouri
has been true to it's traditions and cast a
plurality of its votes for Bryan. Kansas is
claimed by the Republicans. but the re-
turns are slower in coming in. The
Rocky Mountain States go for silver OF
course. California is close, with the
chances favoring Mckinley. Oregon is
true to Repubiicanism.
Owing to the unusually large mum Der
OF doubtful States it is impossible to give
the result with entire exactness at this
hour. But it is sufficient to know that
even should Bryan carry every State con-
corning which there is now any doubt he
would yet be tar short of a majority of the
electoral vote. McKinley's election is be-
yond the danger point.
The Tribune this morning comments
editorialiy upon the result of the election
as follows: William Mckinley has been
elected by an overwhelming majority and
the anxiety of ali patriotic hearts gives
place to a Joy too profound for expression.
1t is not only a victory. but one so COM
plete and decisive as to answer the fervent
prayers of loyal men. Bryan, Organism,
Altgeldism, the free-silver conspiracy and
the deep plots of anarchists are all bured
under an avalanche of ballots. There
