MINORITY IN OHIO
ADMINISTRATION CANDIDATE GOT LESS
THAN HALF OF VOTES.
Senator CockceII Does Not See that the Pres-
dent Has Any Particular Cause for Rejoic-
ing Over the Result.
washington Post.)

According to Senator Cockrell, of
Mississippi, the elections have not set
tied definitely any of the questions at
issue except in Nebraska.
1.-THE administration has certainly not
been sustained in Ohio" he said, "by a
majority of the voters. The combined
vote for Mclean and Jones is about
$4,000 greater than the vote for Nash,
and to this extent, the administration
candidate is in the minority in Ohio.
Jones stood for principles opposed to the
Republican party. He was against the
Philippine policy and against Hanna,
the administration chief representative
i'll the State. Mclean, of course, was
hostile to the Republican party. The
people who voted for Jones and Mclean
voted against the ideas represented by
the Republicans, and 1T seems said the
Senator, '.that the voters who were thus
antagonistic outnumbered by $4,000 those
who favored the President.
Il believe that there would have been
a still larger anti-Republican vote
against the subjugation of the Filipmos
and the forcible annexation of the ISL
and if it had not been stated by the
President in his Western speeches, and
repeated by Republican orators in Ohio
that the President proposed to leave the
Philippine question to Congress. Upon
this representation of the case the Re-
publicans were asked not to desert the
President at this time, and the appeal

PROF. MINIS AT CHAPEL HILL.
Newman, Arnold and Browning--a
Comparative Study was His Subject.

Chapel Hill, n. c., Nov. 10.-(Special.)
Professor Edwin Minis, of the chair of
English of Trinity College, delivered the
regular fortnightly lecture before the
University tonight to a large audience.
For over an hour Professor Minis held
the attention of the audience in his pleas
amt wa-
'.Newman, Arnold, and Browning
COMPANION Study" was the subject OF
his MOST Interesting lecture. The foun-
dation and personnel of the London
Metaphysical Society and its effect ON
the men of literature of that age formed
the basis of the Speakers first thought.
The Nineteenth century literature rs the
product of the previous subjective ltera-
tuhre. The tendency of the times was
shown in the conflict between the con-
servatism following the French Revolu-
tion and scientific liberalism. John
Henry Newman was strong conseTy'a-
tive and an insDirer of the Oxford mo-
ment. His conversion to Romanism was
a logical outcome of his ultra -conserva
tism. Higher criticism was a product
of German scientific research, and Mat
thew Arnold lis a product of that spirit
which attempts to solve the problems of
life from the standpoint of agnosticism.
But he was not satisfied in that spirit.
He craved something more soul-insDlr-
ing.
Browning represents the mean school
of thought between the conservatism IF
the church and the radical agnostlcisHl.
His school accepts the conclusions Of
science. but sees God above all. He was
a prodWct of the romantic movement e.
pressed through the spirit of scholarship
and Christianity.
Prof. Minis, am unusually pleasant
speaker at all times, was seen at his best
tonight in his special line-hterature.
His lecture was delightfully."- entertain
ing and Instructive MOST scholarly
production. His visit to the University
has been source off pleasure and profit
