HR. BRYAh'S OPINION
RECENT REPUBLICAN VICTORY
WAS NOT so SWEEPING AS
is CLAIMED
WAR ISSUES THE CAUSE
Democrats Favored independence

Defeat at the Polls That the Gu
ban People Might Be Free-Mr.
Bryan's Belief Is That the Recent
Election Decides Nothing.

LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 15.-Col. " J..
Bryan tonight gave to the Associated
Press the following interview relative
to the late election:

ice in the volunteer army prevents a

the Republicans have gained in some
pHces and lost in others. 1t was not
a sweeping Republican victory. On
the other hand, the result is not sur
prising when il is remembered that
the administration is just concluding a
successful war. While a majority of
the soldiers are probably anti-Repub-
lican, the management Of the war has
been entirely in Republican hands and
the strongest argument used during
the campaign was that a Republican
defeat would discredit the president in
the eyes of foreign nations while his
commissioners were engaged in mixing
a treaty. 1t was not trial upon the

United States armories have progressed
with the manufacture of Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifles to a point where he could I'M
dertake to arm the entire army with
this weapon. At the outbreak of the
war only the regular soldiers had the
small-bore rifle, and the volunteers
were necessarily armed with the
Springfield, except in a few cases, such
as that of the rough riders. The ar
mories have been running steadily ever
since, turning out the small-bore rife
at the rate OF 1900 per month, until the
stock on hand warrants the undertake
ing which the secretary has ordered.
AS fast as the guns can be packed and
sent forward the Springflelds in the
