REPUBLICANS NO WINNERS
"They Have No Room TO Brag,
According TO the Figures
Shown By the Vote"

A Lincoln, Neb., special says: WI.
Bryan Saturday evening gave TO the
press an extended statement summing
up the results of the elections in diff
ferent states. In Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania, where the Democrats
affirmed the Chicago platform, he finds
that they have made gains, while in
New York and New Jersey the Re-
publican vote shows a falling Off
Maryland, he declares, is now safely
Democratic. On the Kentucky cleo
ton, he says:
''The result in Kentucky does not
give any encouragement TO the Repub-
licans. The latest returns show that
the contest between Mr.. Goebel and
Mr.. Taylor is very close. The Demo
Gratis claim the election Of Goebel and
the entire state ticket by small plurai.
ties The legislature is safely Demo
cratic in both branches and the cleo
ton of Blackburn to succeed Lindsay
is assured. No one who has watched
the contest will doubt that the De-
mocracy, united on national issuea,
can be relied upon for majority Of
10000 to 10000.
Ohio is summed up as follows:
"What consolation can republicans
draw from the Ohio election? Mr..
Hanna secured the nomination of his
candidate for governor upon platform
indorsing the republican administra-
ton. And while the returns indicate
that Nash has a plurality of about
fifty thousand over Mclean, Mclean
and Jones together have majority Of
something like fifty thousand over the
republican candidate.
Mclean ran upon a platform en-
phatically indorsing the Chicago plat
form and copdemning the trusts, mill
tarism and Imperialism, and he made
gallant fight against great odds.
Ohio is the home of the president. 1t
is the home of Mr.. Hanna, chairman
of the Republican national committee.
Postmasters all over the United States
were uged to contribute money to save
Ohio.
''Mr. Hanna took the stump himself
and called upon Republicans to sup
port the ticket and indorse the policies
of the administration. And yet in
spite Of all that could be done, Mr..
Hanna's own county was carried by
Mr.. Jones. and the Republican party,
which had a majority of nearly fifty
thousand in 1896, is now overwhelmed
by a majority approximating fifty
thousand. The Jones vote is anti
Republican. Mr. Jones himself has
made an open fight against Mr. Hams
aud his methods and the Republican
party has turned its batteries agains
Mr.. Jones and his followers"

In Nebraska he says:
