The expense of the maintenance of
the federal government falls almost
entirely upon the poor people of the
country, as customs and excise taxes
are laid on all alike, and there are a
thousand poor, to one rich man. That
expense in 1910, under democratic rule,
was less than dollar and half
year; now, under republican rule, it is
seven dollars. But as the poor people
imposed the burden on themselves, by
their votes, they should bear it without
grumbling.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Elections.

CINCINNATI, April 6.-The result OF
the municipal elections in Ohio yester-
day shows democratic gains. The large
cities which gave Mckinley such enor'
NOUS pluralities last November have
gone democratic. Mckinley had only
fifty thousand in the State and ..all OF
this plurality came from the cities
which to-day went democratic. Out
side of these cities the State was car
ried by Bryan last November on the
free silver issue and the friends of John
RI Mclean, who is the democratic
candidate for Senator, claim that Nc
Lean will carry the legislature and pos
sibly the State ticket, next November
on the free oliver issue.
In Cincinnati, the home of Senator
Foraker, republican plurality last year
of 10000 is displaced by a democratic
plurality of over 1000.
In Cleveland, the home of Senator
Hanna, the democrats made large
gains, and even the home of President
Mckinley, at Canton, went democratic.
The home of Governor Bushnell, at
Springfield, is strongly republican, and
that city elected democratic mayor
by over GOO.
The metropolis and the capital of the
State went democratic, while the re-
suit in the smaller places was still
more decisive.
The result in the State generally is
accredited to disafectioD, which is
largely based on the continuation OF
the hard times. There are many who
are suffering in business and many
more who are out of work who expect
ed relief the first month under the new
administration and some express the
opinion that the free silver sentiment
is growing among these people. The
democratic gains were general.
At Hamilton, the entire democratic
city ticket is elected by 1900 majority.
At GAINESVILLE, the democrats simply
swept the city, electing their entire
ticket by majorities ranging from $50
to 700. This city gave Mckinley a
plurality last November of $50.
At Springfield the democrats carried
the home of Governor Bushnell by 600
majority.
At Fostoria for the first time in
twenty years the democrats elected a
mayor.

MIR. BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.


Mr.. w. ]. Bryan, who is in Washing
ton on legal business, went over to the
Senate side of the Capitol yesterday
evening on invitation. He called on
Vice President Hobart, with whom he
had friendly and social chat, and later
his appearance in the marble room
caused to be gathered around him a
great many of the Senators.
Upon leaving the Capitol, Mr.. Bryan
boarded q westbound avenue cable
train, occupying seat in an open car.
He had not gone far on his way uptown
when he saw approaching the White
House carriage, in which were seated
President Mckinley and Secretary Por-
ter. AS the carriage drew near, Mr..
BRYAN raised his hat again and again to
the man who defeated him at the polls.
The Presidents attention was attracted
to the passenger on the car who was
sautiug him so enthusiastically, but
failed to recognize him until Mr.. Porter
whispered Nebraska's name. Then
Mr.. Mckinley flashed look of recog-
milton at his late opponent, lifted his
hat, and bowed digni6edly. Mr.. Bryan
went to his hotel, the Metropolitan.
After dinner he received number Of
callers, aud from to s in the evening
the parlors of the Metropolitan were
again crowded, Senator Jones and Mrs.
Jones being among those present. Near
ly all of the Representatives and Sena-
tors who stood with Mr.. Bryan in the
campaign called.

THE DINGLEY tariff bill is not only
unconstitutional, but was pronounced
so by its very authors when they en-
titled it bill "to encourage the indus

the Constitution. But neither laws nor
constitutions are allowed by the repub-
