As 1t LOOKS To Us.

The great political battle of 1899 has
been fought IN most Of the States. aud
after the dead have been bnrried and
the wounded cared for 1t may be q pro-
fitable work to look the field over, and
If possible ascertain the influence the
contest may have upon the election Of
1900.
1t is evident that brothers Mckinley
and Bryan, the two possible leaders,
for 1900 were on trial during this year
not perhaps directly, but indirectly,
and the result considered in the light
of such leadership may be summarized
about IS follows: In Nebraska the
home of Bryan, the people have en-
dorsed him by an increased majority.
In Ohio the home of Mckinley, where
extraordinary effort was made to give
him majority to emphasize his pOpu-
larity. and to insure him renomination
In 1900, the people by large majority
CONDEMNED his administration. The
vote in Ohio was 9O8,159, of which
Nash, the Mckinley Hanna candida to
received All, 1899 while tie other candi-
date received 59l $50, thus showing q
majority against Mckinley Of 7415l
Nash had a plurality but not Q ma
] Jrity, .
If after the efforts in Ohio to secure
endorsement of the Mckinley admins
tration failed what may 1t be in 1900
when the whole power of the OPPOSE
ton In all the States are brought to
bear against the Mckinley Hanna
psrty2 If it took two millions Of
dollars expenditure to elect Nash in
1899 what will it take to carry Ohio
in 1900 for Mckinley?
This Is question that will interest
the politicians In the National Conven
ton 10 1900, and 1t may be thought
too expensive q luxury to indulge In
when the time srrtves for action.

Cheyenne Strike Ends.

Railroad officials in this city have re-
ceived official reports relative to the
elimination of the strike, which for
the past few weeks has been declared
BY the Union Pacific machin1sts at
Cheyenne.
The strike which has been in exls-
tence since November 6, has been
most determined one, the men previous
to yesterday refusing to consider any
notifications whatever of their origi-
nal demands of 215 cents an hour addi-
t1OnRl pay, while on the side of the
company, the Cheyenne officials vera
notified while the strike was vet in
embryo, to make no concessions of any
kind to the strikers When the strike
was first talked of, the more conserva-
tive employees suggested to the COM
mlttee that beforea formal declaration
of the strike be made, the company be
given an opportunity to answer the de-
mands of the machinists, but their adj.
vice was UNDECIDED, and consequently
the strike was from the start an ill-ad-
visey one. Last week the strikers cal
led meeting and upon majority
vote of those interested decided to
modify the demands and asked for
only one cent increase
Monday, an official uron receiving
the strikers modified demands, went
to Denver and there consulted with
President Burt concerning the advisa
bility of granting the raise requested
in the last ultimatum, but even this
was refused by President Burt.
