The past few weeks have wit
messed the heat and struggle of
another great national campaign.
Excitement has run high all over
the country. The partisan feelings
of all parties have been touched to
the utmost. But now it is all over
and the American peoplr have again
passed Judgment through the ballot
box, and that Judgment is final.
From their decision there is no ap-
peal, and the true American citizen
will readily accept the result and
work for the betterment Of his coun-
try, whether the result pleases him
or not. In the very nature of things
disappointment was bound to come
to one or the other of the two great
parties and its candidate. In the
triumph Of the successful party we
hope to see their promises realized.
If prosperity follows in the footsteps
of the apoption of their principles
then well and good. The country
is in sad need Of a change in its in
dustrial and commercial conditions.
If the principles of the successful
party bring that about, then no one
should complain. And the party
has four years to do that in, and we
truly hope, for the welfare and ben
eft of Our country that its highest
promise of industrial prosperity, in
all channels, will be fully realized.

1t Is Pr Obably Mckinley.

The returns from the east indicate
the election of Mckinley and
Hobart. While there is a bare
possibility at this time of the elec-
tion of Mr.. Bryan, the indications
are not favorable. The latest tele-
grams received places McKinley's
vote in the electoral college at o4o.
This includes states that are in
doubt, and in which it will take

doubtful states are Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Kentucky and North
Dakota. The result in OREGON is
in doubt, the republicans claiming
the state by a majority of $500,
but 1t is not yet certain. The fol-
lowing table gives the list of states
claimed by Mckinley and those by
Bryan, but in many of the states
the result is estimated:

THE STATE:

The result in Oregon is still in
doubt, but the latest returns indi-
cate that Mckinley has carried the
state by small margin. Multi
nomah county gave Mckinley
nearly 5000 majority, and it is
doubtful if the country can over
come it. The returns from the out
lying precincts give substantial
gains to Bryan, and the chances on
Oregon are about even.
LINCOLN COUNTY:
Lincoln county has given Nc
Kinley the small majority of 22.
The Indian vote OH the Siletz was
cast largely for Mckinley and this
saved him in Lincoln county. The

held In HANGERS circus this afternoon
under the auspices of the Liverpool Re-
form club, to protest against the rule of
the sultan of Turkey and the massacre
of Armenians in the Turkish empire. The
gathering included well known men of all

greeted Mr. Gladstone, who was the
principal speaker, was most enthusi-
astic one.
The meeting was presided over by the
Earl of Derby.
Mr. Gladstone was in excellent health
and voice and was noticeably active in
his movements. Prefacing his address
Mr.. Gladstone proposed a resolution set
ting forth that the meeting trusted that
the government realized the terrible con-
dition in which their fellow Christians in
Turkey were placed and that they would
do everything possible to obtain for them
a full measure of security and protection
The resolution also declared that the gov
ernment would have the fullest public
support in whatever steps they might

were being committed in Turkey. Mr.

D,0N'S SHARE THE SOUTH'S
Two-Ihirds Of the Exports Of Grain Are
Through Southern Ports-Demand
for Steamers Exceeds Supply

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 24.--The Manu-
weeks issue to the remarkable activity
in the foreign trade of the country, and
especially the heavy grain and cotton
shipments that are being made from
South Atlantic and gulf ports. The
charters made last week for full cargo
steamers to carry grain from this coun-
try footed up total of 3,160,000 bushels,
and of this 2,24S,000 bushels are to go
through southern ports. The demand for
steamers to load grain and cotton ex-
ceeds the immediate available supply
Rates have advanced sharply, and an
enormous amount of tonnage has been
chartered on contracts that in some cases
will run through the entire winter.
Commenting on this, the Manufatcur-
erS' Record says: "In times past a great
improvement in foreign trade such as
this generally has been the forerunner
of activity and prosperity. in all lines Of
business
Among the leading industrial enter
prises reported for the week were $780,
600 mining company in Arkansas, the re-
building of 100000 compress plant in

understand that some of your en-
ployers are very much worried for fear
their employees will get only so cent dol
iars. i Ihey need not be worried. If they
nave as much love for the laboring man
after the election as they have now. even
If free coinage meant SO cent dollars. they
could pay their laboring men twice as
many dollars and save them from any
harm done them, my friends. (Applause)
You say they. won't do 1t? If they
won't help you when they have a chance
to why do you believe them when they
tell you they are losing sleep at night now
for. FEAR you will hurt yourselves? (Ap-
plause).
Employers don't pay wages because
they IKE 10; they pay wages because
they have to, and when there is a greater
demand for labor there will be better
price paid to labor than there will when
two men are looking for the same Job.
(Applause).
The gold standard destroys the op-
portunity to work; the gold standard
makes men work half time, because there
is nobody able to buy the products of the
factories, and the farmer is not able to
sell his crops for enough to pay taxes and
interest.
There is not spot over which the
American flag floats which cannot be
benefited by the restoration of the
money of the constitution. (Applause).
There is not spot which will not be
cursed by the. continuation of the gold
standard" GApplause)
Mr.. Bryan concluded with the advice he
has given frequently about voting the re-
publican ticket. if continuation of the
gold standard is desired, and an insist
ence that the silver cause was not a
craze.

SAID HAWKINS BROKE JAIL
And Showed the Shattered Paddock as Ey.
dence But the Negro Has Evil
dertly Been Lynclled

New Orleans. Sept. 24.--Tuesday night
last negro named Hawkins was boiling
some pitch in Gretna, and was annoyed
by number OF children. He told them
to go away, and as they did not obey him
quickly he slapped one of them. This
child happened to be a nephew of one of
the Gretna police force. This man, on be-
Ing informed Of the occurrence, raised
great hue and cry and went after Haw-
kins, who made his escape Two innocent
negroes in whose house Hawkins took
refuge, were shot and badly wounded by
the crowd in pursuit of Hawkins who
had left the house some time before
Last night Hawkins was captured in
Algers and carried to Gretna, where he
was locked up in what Is called the little
Jail. small frame building in a neigh
borhood where there are but few houses.
The door was secured by paddock, and
no one was on guard. About ] O'Clock
this morning a mob broke open the house,
took Hawkins out, carried him about
mile away and hanged him.
After life was extinct the body was
taken down and thrown into the river
Today the authorities of Gretna profess
entire ignorance of the affair, and the
chief of police Of that village claims that
Hawkins broke Jail, and exhibits the
broken paddock as proof.

which appeals to the students. If the
syndicates and corporations rule this
country, tten no man has fair show

students) If the people have a right to

right, then every citizen has a fair show

''The business men have been told that

the first step must be the recall of our
ambassador from Constantinople and the
consequent dismissal of the Turkish am
bassador in London. That would not
cause European war. England could
then tell the porte that she meant to con-
slider means of enforcing her own just
demands. We should declare that we
would not turn any ensuing war to our
own advantage.
Mr.. Gladstone in the course of his pre-
roration said: Let us by loyalty promis-

them by word and deed to show their de-
testation of acts which may ever yet

clear to the end. The resolutions offered

Chicago, Sept. 24.--The firm of Darling
ton, Quick & Boyd, commission men at
the Stock Yards failed this morning and
almost simultaneous with the news of
the failure came the information from
Lincoln, ILL.,, that Frederick Boyden, a
member of the firm had committed sui

ing himself through the head.
MI. Boyden had been paying a visit to
his brother in Lincoln, and was leaving
to catch an early train for Chicago, when

he preferred death to life and shot HIM

An Hour at Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept 24--Bridgeport
had William ]. Bryan for an hour today.
He arrived here at IL 80 from New York
and was greeted at the station by great
crowd of cheerers Mr. Bryan, Josephus
Daniels, national committeeman from
North Carolina; H. w. Cornell of New
York, Willis ]. Abbott of New York, Hon,
Alex Trup of New Haven and the others
who are accompanying the candidate
were placed in carriages and taken to
Washington park. preceded by brass
band.
Washington park is spacious public
square, centrally located. Under its fine
old shade trees 5000 people gathered to
hear the young Nebraskan. They cheered
him as he assembled the stand in the GEN.
ter of the park, and pressed closer into
compact body to hear what he had to
say. The stand was Ella borately deco
rated with flags. Around the railing were
festoons of fiowered red silk, fringed
heavily in gold.
Judge d. B. Lockwood introduced Mr..
Bryan. The candidate made short
speech, and was frequently applauded.
When he had finished speaking he was
taken to the Windsor hotel, where he had
a small luncheon, and returning to the
station, accompanied by the band and
large crowd, boarded the special car that
had been chartered for his use by the
Connecticut committee, which had been
sidetracked during his stay In Bridge
train, and Mr.. Bryan left for New Haven
at 1890, followed by rousing cheers.
MIR. Bryan prefaced his remarks by de-
nyIng that the silverites. had raised a
sectional question. The restoration of
bimetallism was not only good for the
west and the south, but for the people
of Connecticut also.
Sometimes" he said, they had ac-
cused people who live in Connecticut of
making wooden nutmegs and selling
them for the real article. l want TO tell
you that man who puts off wooden nut
megs.as real nutmegs is a man of honesty
compared with the man who advocates
gold dollar and calls it an honest dollar"
cloud cheering followed this sentiment.)
Mr.. Bryan asserted that you cannot
have honest money and gold standard
at the same time, and a man in the crowd
Immediately asked why. Because gold
dollar said Mr.. Bryan, under gold
standard grows fatfer every day, and
that is not an honest dollar" (Great
cheering.)
Now, what would be an honest dollar?
Why, they say a dollar which, when you
melt it, loses nothing. According to that
the Mexican dollar Is an honest dollar,
because you can melt 1t and 1t does not
lose anything
