candidate, Judge Holcomb, carried five
of the congressional districts out of the
six, and lost the remaining district, (the
First by only 1000. The fusionists
made a gain of three district judges
and a large gain in county officers"
Mr. Bryan continued: Taken as
whole, the election returns from all the
states give encouragement to those who
hope for the overthrow of the Repub-
lican party in 1900. 1t is evident that
those who believed in the Chicago plat
form in 1896 still believe in ii. 1t is
also evident that hostility to the Chi
cago platform among those who op-
posed it is not as pronounced as it was
in 1896. 1t is apparent also that there
is growing hostility to the .nonopolies
which have grown up under Repub-
lican administration.
Against Imperialism.
1T is safe to say that the American
people would. by a large majority, pro-
nounce against the attempt TO raise the
standing army to 100000 and it is equal
ly certain that upon a direct vote on
the issue, a large majority of the people
would pronounce against an imperial
istic policy which would develop here
colonial system after the pattern of
European governments.
IF the rebuke administered to the
Republicans at the polls had been more
severe, the prospect of remedial legis-
lation at the hands of the Republicans
would be brighter. While it was suffi-
cient to indicate that the people are
not satisfied with the Republican poll
cies, it may not have been sufficient
to stay the course of the Republican
party toward plutocracy and toward
the European idea, of a government
built upon force rather than upon the
consent of the governed-a government
relying for its safety upon a large
standing army rather than upon citi-
zen soldiery.'

appetite for beer is a result of the
craving of the system for the life-giv-
ing elements that are taken from wheat
by its manufacture into white flour.
Mr.. Hart said he would prohibit the
use of glucose in beer. and that he
would suggest a law compelling brew
ers TO tell on their bottle labels the
component parts of the liquor in the
Beetles
Mr. Thoman said the brewers OF the
United States are much opposed to any
adulteration of beer, and spoke of the
dissemination of the brewers to send
exhibits TO the forthcoming Paris ex-
position. They argued, he said, that
without using preservatives it would be
impossible for them to send beer that
would compete with the product of To-
cal breweries
Questioned by senator Mason. Mr..
Thoman said he believed that the for
eign beers imported here in bottles are
preserved by antiseptic, probably sali-
cylic acid. Mr.. Thoman said the sale
of beer so preserved is forbidden in
Bavaria, but there was no law pre-
venting the preservation of beer for
sale without the cGlntry.

stories are so contradictory that ii is
impossible to assert this absolutely. If
true, ii is pointed out that while it
cuts off Ladysmith, the risk to the
Beers is also great for it will give
General White a great chance to in
tercept their retreat when Lord Meth
uan's division advances from the south
ward, unless in the meanwhile General
Joubert succeeds in crushing the
beleaguered garrison. q
That the latter is completing prep
arations for a series of desperate at
tackS on General Whites position is
not doubted and heavy fighting may
be heard of at any moment. General
Whites forces, it is asserted. must be
enduring a daily ordeal which will
hardly improve their fighting efficiency.
and the danger of the shortnesS of am
munition looms up largely.
On the development of the situation
at Ladysmith in the immediate future
depends probably the duration of the
war. 1t is pointed out that if General
White can maintain his position. until
Nov. &c or 2S, the British authorities
will be fully satisfied that all danger
in Natal will be over. Should he fail
to do so and be compelled to

STILL WAIT FOR NEWS.
Interest is Directed at Operations at
Kimberley and Ladysmith.

London, Nov. 1.-THE day has
brought forth no great news and little
change has taken place either in Natal
or on the north and northeastern from
tiers of Cape Colony. The chief fea-
ture is the opening of the bombardment
of Kimberley on Tuesday by Free State
artillery. which proved, according to an
official statement, utterly Ineffective.
The Boer investment of the town,
however, is said to be tightening. Skir-
mishing between the Kimberley
mounted troops and the Beers early in
the week resulted in severe Boer losses,
the British force losing one killed and
one wounded.
Advices from Orange River confirm
the report of the Free State troops ad-
vance upon the north of Cape Colony,
but, owing to the retirement of the
British forces from the borderland, no
serious collision has yet occurred. The
coming week, however, is certain 10

An official dispatch regarding a
skirmish near Belmont, in which Colo

is far from clear. 1t is not known
whether Colonel Falconer was prepar-
ing for British advance or was mere
1y endeaVoring TO ascertain the num-
berS of the Beers. 1t is considered
somewhat remarkable that four out of
the six casualties should have hap

need some explanation.

was fifty killed. The british loss was

PUT MONEY QUESTION BACK.
Croker's Opinion Regarding the Is
sues of Democratic PARTY.

New York, Nov. 11.-Richard Croker
declares that, in his opinion, anti-im-
perialism will be the chief plank in the
Democratic platform of 1900; that a
declaration against trusts will be sec
ond in Importance. and that the money
question will be forced into the back
ground. He made these statements in
reply TO questions submitted to him by
the Herald.
First he was asked what effect Re
thought the recent election would have
on Bryan's chances for denomination
next year.
Il do not care to answer that uues-
ton now he replied. 1T is too early
to talk of candidates. Mr.. Bryan, as l
have frequently said is splendid rep
resentative of the plain people. and
stands for their welfare. but as to him
or anybody else as a candidate. it would
be foolish to talk so far ahead of the
convention"
Next Mr.. Croker was asked what he
thinks the battle cry of the Democratic
party will be next year.
Anti-imDerialism will be heard
palmer than all Others" he answered.
1T will be the biggest issue and the
most help to the party. After it. be-
lieve. will come opposition to trusts.

consolation can Republicans draw from
the Ohio election? Mr.. Hanna secured
the nomina ton of his candidate for
governor upon platform endorsing the
Republican administration, and while
the returns indicate that Nash has a
plurality of about $4,000 over Mclean.
Mclean and Jones together have a ma
jority of something like $4,000 over the
Republican candidate.
Hanna Is Repudiated.
Mclean ran upon a platform en-
phatically endorsing the Chicago plat
form and condemning the trusts, mill
tariSm and Imperialism. and he made a
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. Post
masters all over the United States were
urged to contribute money to save
Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna took the stump himself
and called upon Republicans to spport
the ticket and endorse 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 $4,000 in 1896. is
now overwhelmed by a majority ap-
proximately $4,000. The Jones vote is
anti-Republican. Mr.. Jones himself has
made an open fight against Mr.. Hanna
and his methods. and the Republican
party has turned its batteries against
Mr.. Jones and his followers"

fusion candidate for judge in 1897.
Assistant Secretary of War Meikel-
john came from Washington to plead
with the voters to uphold the presi-
dents policies. Senators Thurston and
Hayward were on the stump warning
the people not to repudiate the presi-
dent. Senator Fairbanks and other
prominent Republicans from outside the
state lent their influence.

forth by the Republicans the fusion
forces gained signal victory. Their
