RESULT OF THE ELECTION

The battle of the ballots on Tuesday
last, resulted in the reelection of Will
liam Mckinley as President of the
United States. Notwithstanding the
fierce contest waged for the last six
months and the many contrasting
opinions held by the body polite of
this country, the election as a whole
passed into history with less reason
for either party to blush for any dis
order or violation Of the law, than any
ever known. Many statements have
been made on the stump by speakers
on the opposite side as to the arraya
Of class against class, and predictions
expressed that all would not 90 well
in certain parts of the Union on elec-
ton day, but happily these forebod-
ings did not materialize This is the
only country in the world where men
can hold opinions and express senti-
ments on national issues at absolute
variance with their friends and neigh.
bors before elections and then after the
decision bow to the will ofthe majority
In good faith and humor and be
friends and neighbors as before.
Whilst the election, as far as the
electoral vote is concerned, is COM
plete victory for Mckinley, there is
nothing to show that he has been vim
dicated in his many obnoxious poll
cies. There is marked falling off in
his popular vote of 1896 and in many
States where he got magnificent plu-
rality at his first election, the count
this year showed that many o. his
supporters gave him a well-merited
ebuke. A look over the figures will
show this:
In 1896 Mckinley carried Frederick
City by IA plurality. In 1900 Bryan
carried the city by 10 plurality, gain
of "a. In 1896 Mckinley carried the
county by !, lao plurality and in 1900
Mckinley carried it by 500, or a gain
for Bryan of $40 plurality. In many
of the districts of the county large
gains were made by Bryan, but not
sufficient to overcome the Republican
vote. In New York State in 1896 Nc
Kinley's plurality was 26S,469, in 1900
his plurality was 10000, Democratic
gain of las, 469. In Maryland the
Democratic gain was 10000 over the
Republican plurality in 1896 of 1924.
The same is true of many States in
New England, where Mr.. Bryan
gained many thousand votes. In
Delaware, New Jersey, Illinois and
Indiana, the Democratic gains were
large and the same is true all over the
country. From present indications it
looks as if the popular vote will be very
close. Mckinley has largely reduced
majorities in New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Indiana, where he gained |
SO much of his popular vote in 1896.
1t all goes to show that though the !
people evinced desire to rebuke Nc
Kinley for his weak and unpopular
government, they were restrained by a
fear of financial disruption and bust
ness depression in the event of Bryan's
election. Despite the able and I'M
answerable arguments presented by
the advocates OF Mr.. Bryan and by
himself on his campaign tour of the
country, there was spot in the peoples
hearts that they could not storm and
carry-the citadel of the money power
and its numberless tributaries and de-
Tendencies. 1t stood out against go

ANY proposition from the Rail
road naturally enough will BIZ drawn
In the interest of the Railroad Com
pany. There Is no necessity o" &C
casion for any propositions. The
Board OF Mayor aud Aldermen do
not have to ask the r ,ilroad's con
sent to pass the ordinance they
have under confederation. All the
Board has to do IS to command the
Railroad Company to do what thew
want done, and impose a penalty
upon them If they fail or refuse to
do it within given time The Rail
road has certain rights and privi-
leges that the municipal law cannot
take from them So has the Corpora
alton Of Columbia certain rights and
privileges that the Railroad Com
pany is bound to respect. When 1t
Comes to the exercise of their rights,
the Railroad Company waits not
upon the convenience or consent of
any man or sat Of men. When it
comes TO the exercise of the rights
of the citizen, the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen should not wait upon
the advise or consent or convenience
of any railroad or set of railroads.
Let the depot question take care of
itself. The Railroad Company will
build that when they please and
not until they please. For when
they cannot be compelled by the law
to do thing, all argument and en-
treaty is In vain; they take their
own time about it. The subiuc ct
under consideration now is the
blockade of High street, and the
danger at the crossings of High,
Garden and Main. Leave all side
issues out, and all sweet promises
for future consideration. The ques-
ton now up Is to remove the block
ade on High, and establish gates
tnere ana at the South Garden and
South Main street crossings. Are
these crossings dangerous, and are
the people entitled to the protection
they ask, and has the Board the
right under the law to compel the
Railroad Company to esta blish these
gates? Let the argument and the
proof be confined to these CUES
tions; for these questions make up
the issue. 1.-THE crossings are dan
gerous and the people are entitled to
the protection they ask, and the
Board has the right, under the law,
to compel the Railroad Company to
erect the gates, then the ordinance
ought to be drawn just that way and
no other way, and passed. Amend.
ments and delays will all be in the
interest of the Railroad, and not of
the people.

ONEof the worst bills OF it's kind
ever proposed is now pending in
Congress. By its provisions all
Federal soldiers of the civil war
whether disabled or not, are to have
preference for appointment and pro
motion in the government service
II the bill passes, it will mean that
the entire government service will
be put into the hands of the Army OF
the Republic, to the exclusion of
all civilians who had the misfortune
to be born too late. What the grand
old party of pension grabbers don't
cabbage these next four years, won't
be worth having.

THERE is no sort of doubt about q
very large majority of the best p-o.
pie OF Nashville being in favor OF
the Baxter railroad proposition.
But to carry, it must receive three
tourths of the votes cast; and a
fourth of the votes in almost any
election are easy to bay. Some of
them are bought outright with
money; some with jobs, and some
with fair promises that are never
fulfilled. 1t will be glad surprise
to US therefore, If the proposition
carries. The election will be held
Saturday.

RAISED THE NOTES.
Thomas F. Hart, of Nashville, is in
Trouble. Sensation Sprung.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 12.-Auothe,
sensation was sprung in the com
mercial circles of the city yesterday
when 1t was alleged that Thomas RI.
Hart, of the firm OF Hunter & Hart.
had raised notes to the extent OF
$4,000 The notes were in favor
of the firm and were indorsed bv
various persons, the majority of
them bearing the name Of DIR r. A.
Young, step father of Alex Hunter.
member of the firm.
Hart has acknowledged the charge
as to the several notes, but there ia
no way OF ascertaining the amount
involved until the various banks are
shown that the notes they hold are
not genuine. Most Of them claim
the paper is all right, and are hold
ing it for collection.
AS vet no criminal prosecution
has been begun against Hart, and
no effort has been made by him to
leave the city.
The discovery may force the firm
OF Hunter d Hart into liquidation.
The friends of Mr.. Hart say that he
will be able to pay out, and that
everything will be settled salts
factorily.
Alex Hunter, the other member of
the tirm, is exonerated from all
blame, both by the facts of the case
and the confession of Hart.
1t Is said the practice of raising
notes has been kept up by Hart for
year or more, which accounts for
so much OF the firms paper being on
the market. He had full charge of
the books and financial affairs of
the company and confined himself
to the office. The matter was
brought to light by a note endorsed
Monday by DR.. Young. which had
been raised from $3.50 to $3.50.

SEVERAL years ago, about the
time PERHAPS that some one was
killed at one Of the railroad cross
ings, an ordinance was drawn and
up for passage before the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen requiring the
railroad company to erect gates al
the South Main, South Garden and
South High crossings; but the rail
road begged off, with the promise to
use danger signals, and not to run
their trains faster than at the rate of
Eve miles an hour when passing
these crossings. They will doubt
less try something Of the sort on this
Board, as their "intentIOh" Is to
build a new depot anyhow, don't
you-know. But we believe this
Board has made up Its mind not TO
be fed and fooled any longer on fair
promises, bat to "do something," as
Capt. White says. No one will deny
or can deny that these are danger
GUS crossings. They are so danger.
Gus as even to depreciate the valve
of property south of the railroad.
The railroad company ought to have
enough regard for human life to
be willing to go to this CON-
paratively small expense to pro-
tect the public from the danger of
their trains; but as they have not,
thy shonld be compelled to do it,
and to do it quick. And, lest they
should take notion to be rebellious
about 1t, gentlemen, be careful how
you drawyou ordinance make it i'm
perative, plain and simple make the
penalty for its violation sufficiently
high, and require the officers to
make arrests upon the complaint of
any citizen. Require that these
gates shall be used as protection,
not an obstI uction to travel. Pro.
vide in your ordinance that they
shall not be lowered longer than
two or three minutes at a time, and
that no train shall obstruct these
crossings or any one of them longe
than time to uncouple and divide.
