BRYAN's VIEWS on THE ELECTION.
Figures Out Fusion Gain in
Nebraska.


LINCOLN, Nov. 29.-Today in an inter-
view w. ]. Bryan gave, for the first time,
his analysis of the vote In his own state:
1t shows, so he asserts, that the fusion cam
didate for judge polled a larger plurality
than MIR. Bryan himself did last year. al
though the vote was smaller. Mr.. Bryan
explains the progress made since the presi-
dental contest by pointing out that the
anti-republican majority is greater in Ne
braska this year than ever before. Mr..
Bryan says:
"In 1896 the fusion electors, representing
the democrats, populists and silver repub-
llcans of Nebraska, received an average plu-
rality OF IS 060 over the republican electors,
and a majority of SLAB over all. This year
the fusion candidate for supteme judge re-
ceived a plurality of 13S19 over the repub-
lican candidate and majority of II ,376 over
all. This gain of 759 In plurality and 3,293
in majority was secured in spite of a de-
crease Of about 80 900 of the'total vote polled.
The gold democrats poled less than half as
many votes this year as last"

Mondell Discusses Railroads.

Ex-Congressman Frank Mondell, of
Wyoming. in a recent interview, with a
Cheyenne newspaper reporter relating
TO the proposed new roads of the Bur
lington and Homestake, said, in sub
stance, the following: Early in the
summer the Homestake company bad u
corps Of engineers in the field surveying
in the direction of Cambria. In my
opinion, there will be a line Of railway
built between Cambria and Deadwood
and that within a few months. The b.
& NJ; has had Q large corps Of engineers
sgy S::ssza2z.SSs-%s
which is IS miles south or Deadwood,
on the present Desdwood q Edgemont
line. The present Black Hills lin OF
the B. e. NJ. is 107 miles long. The
distance from Edgemont to Deadwood,
via. Newcastle and Cambria over the
proposed line, which will connect with
the Black Hills line at Dumont, is 10
miles. The saving in,.distance on freight
in and out Of the Black Hills is not a
very great item, but the present Blacks
Hills line has a 4 per cent grade each
way, making it an exceedingly expen.
sive road to operate. The maximum
number Of freight cars TO a train on this
line is eight. The maximum grade on
the proposed line will not exceed 2 per
cent, over which seventeen cars o!
freight can be hauled with the same
motive power that hauls eight cars on
the present Black Hills line. This is @
big item when you consider that tie

creasing and is already considerable,
Another important reason why a road
SHOULD be built from the DeSdwood
mines to the Cambria coal fields is that
the timber, which has been relied upon
for fuel in the Black Hills, is being
rapidly exhausted. The Homestakc
company is reaching out for new tim
Der belts from which mining timber can
be cut, and all the mills in the Black
Hills region areincreasing their demand
for fuel, which now comes from the
Cambria mines, including all coke used
at the Deodwood smelters. All Of this
coal and coke would be hauled over the
new line, which would not be more
than fifty miles long. AS the distance
over the present line is 100 miles, there
would be a saving in haul of about 10
miles"
