CLOSE IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Central Falls, RI, November 3.-The
mayoralty election hangs in the balance
tonight, so close was the vote cast yester.
day and which is now in progress of
count On the face of the returns, Hen
ry 6. Thresher, Republican, was elected
by a plurality of II votes over Mayor
Gottschalk, the Democratic and Citizens
candidate. But this result came after
Is votes in the third ward had been
thrown out by the wardens because they
had been twice marked for Mayor Colts
chalk, one each as Democrats and Citi-
zens candidate. A decision of the su.
preme court last year, however, deter
mined that these ballots must be counted.

adjourn the count until tomorrow, but
the Democrats are anxious to complete
it at once. A contest ovor this question
has arisen, and undoubtedly the election

BRYAN SAYS SILVER STILL LIVES.
Lincoln, Neb., November 3.-Mr. Bryan
gave out the following statement to the
Associated Press:
The returns are SO incomplete that it
is impossible to discuss yesterdays
election in detail The Republicans every
where endorsed the Republican admins
tration and in view of losses sustained by
them In almost every state, it would seem
that Republican politics are not being
endorsed at the polls. The sentiment in
favor of the Chicago platform shows
healthy growth throughout the country.
Perhaps our opponents will now admit
that silver Is not dead. The attempt to
secure international bi-metallism has
proved failure, and it is now more ap-
parent than ever that the people of the
United States must legislate for them
selves on the financial question. Free and
unlimited coinage at Is to / is nearer
now than it was year ago. High tariff
Republicans who looked to it for relief
think voice the sentiments of Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver Republicans
when | say the fight will be continued
with even more earnestness until the gold
monopoly is broken and the money trust
overthrown. The fusion forces increase
their percentage in Nebraska and probably
their actual majority.
