LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 11.-On the re-
suits Of the election United States Sen
ator John NJ. Thurston says:
The sweeping victory in the West.
including Nebraska, means the uncon-
iitional Endorsement Of President Nc
kinley's administration. the conduct Of
the war and his foreign policy. The
battle was fought on the straight gold
standard platform, and the result. in
my Judgment. absolutely eliminates
free silver as a national issue in 1900.
The entire tendency Of independent
voters is to return TO old party allie
glance, with permanent gains TO the Re
publican party from the best element of
Democracy and Populists. This is
largely due to the prosperous conditions
Of agriculture and business generally.
The people are satisfied with present
conditions.
In Nebraska the fusionists early in
the campaign practically abandoned the
free silver issue and for a time at.
tempted to maintain themselves by crit
icism Of the conduct of the war. Driven
from this they fell back upon the Nc.
Cleary bill.
The Republican campaign was very
active and aggressive, and successfully
met the three issues in detail. Above
everything else, however, was the pa.
triouic determination to stand by an adj
ministration whose victories in war and
whose far-reaching and successful for.
eign policy has Won the admiration Of
Ihristendom."
