M'KINLEY PLEASED.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 3.-The train
bearing President Mckinley and party
arrived at 1115 o'clock this morning.
The arrival was signalled by salute
of forty-five guns, fired by detail of
battery r. National Guards of Penn
syIvania The Presidential party was
escorted to a carriage, and headed by
the Second Brigade of the National
Guard, under command of f. N. Wylie,
were escorted to the residence of f. n.
F'reem. All along the route the Presi-
dent was greeted with cheers, which
he acknowledged by frequently renlov-
ing his hat.
Mrs Mckinley and the ladies in the
party remained in the train, which was
taken to Shady Side, where they were
met by Mrs. Robert Pitcairn, whose
guests they were at luncheon.
4 am pleased with the result of the
election, as it indicates that fealty 20
the Republican party and the principles
it represents are as strong as ever
said President Mckinley to reporter
of the Associated Press in his car this
morning. In the car last night were
long distance telephone and a tele-
graph operator, and the President re-
ceived the news from the great battle
that was being waged over the land.
The President made no effort to dis
guise the fact that his interest was
centered in the Ohio fight and the fu-
ture of Senator Hanna In fact, Presi-
dent Mckinley was in constant COM
munication with Mr.. Hanna by tele-
phone up to / o'clock this morning,
when he was assured that all was well
by message telephoned by the Sena-
tor from the Union Club at Cleveland.
| President Mckinley, in spite of the
late hour at which he went to bed,
was up early this morning to obtain
election news He did not make any
comments on the situation beyond that
| quoted above.
Secretary Porter said that President
Mckinley was deeply interested in the
Ohio campaign. This is a peculiar
election all around he said. "You see,
there are so many local issues in the
different States that the national as
pect has been lost sight of. In many
4 States the election has resolved itself
into a fight against 'bossism,' ire
spectfve of party"
The first and only stop made by the
Presidents train was at Alliance, where
large bundle of newspapers We're
taken on board and President McKiE-
ley and his party read quietly until the
train pulled into the Union Station.
| RESULTED AS DEPEW FEARED.
NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Chauncey N.
Depew, who supported Tracy, said TO-
day that the election resulted just as
he feared it would.
I'VE made the best possible fight" he
said, but the hope of victory against
Tammany with the anti-Tammany
forces divided, is almost futile. The
wonderful showing made by Mr.. Low
is surprising, to say the least.
The election issue in New York has
| no national significance; but with an
| alarming falling off in the Republican
vote in the State, with heavy losses in
New Jersey, Ohio and other States, the
Republican party is confronted with
the incontrovertible truth that Bryan
and bimetallism are not dead. 1t warns
them that they must take steps at once
and emphatically settle this currency
question beyond any hope of reopening
| it,
FOREIGN PRESS COMMENT.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The elections in
the United States continue to over
shadow all other news in the newspa-
pers.
The Sun of this city, of which
newspaper Harry Marks has editorial
control, says: The dog returned to
his vomit' is the text we recommend
pious New York to hang on parlor
walls. The chief city of a great peo-
pie must see its municipal offices filled
with men who should be filling cells in
the penitentiary. New York has fall
len like rotten fruit in the hands of the
boodlers; but the New Workers may
console themselves with saying that
every city. as every land, has the gov
ernmeft it deserves
The Evening News remarks: "Crok-
er has brought off his tip and has won
the race, showing that he is more to be
feared in his natural arena of politics
/ than on the race course. The popula-
/ ton Of the second greatest city in the
world has elected its ruler, and the
morning after election the problems oc-
cupying his mind did not relate to the
government of the city, but the squar
ing regarding his supporters. The ex-
pertinent of Democracy as seen in full
growth in New York seems to have its
drawbacks as Well as it's advantages
The st James Gazette" says: THE
reason Americans allow themselves to
be dominated by clique whose mem
bers would on this side of the Allan
tic sooner or later find themselves in
the criminal docket is that American
politicians indulge in politics solely for
what they can make out of them. and
until America finds time to produce
class who will give their time to pub
lie affairs. shock without expectation
of pecuniary reward, Tammany will
continue its victories in New York
Commenting on the allegation that
the best classes" hold aloof from par
ties, the Globe says: 1T leaves the
government of one of the greatest coun-
tries in the world at the mercy of a
mob and unserupulous demogogue who
knows how to bend that mob to his
will. The effect upon the foreign poll
. icy Of the country is often deplorable.
