Republican Victory

To he Leader
Washington, D. c.. Nov. 3.-Elev-
enth hour reports received in Wash
ngton from all sections have added to
the certainty that Mckinley and
Roosevelt and Republican House will
De elected next Tuesday. Many u N
ocla ats admit this, and some of then
dc not hesitate to say that they are
glad of it. because they do not wish
any change in the present prosperous
condition of the country. The rabid
Br-anites practically admit their de-
feat by resorting to desperate tactics,
such as the advice of Boss Croker, who
has been in charge of Brydn's cam
paign for some weeks, Jones and the
heads, to his followers, to attack and
throw out the election judges if the
announcement of the vote shows dem
ocratic defeat, and the rowdyism of
breaking up Republican meetings
which the Democrats have been en-.
gagged in during the last few days.
They see that the people are over
whelmingly against them, and it has
made them lose their heads.

where he will remain until after cleo

taken since assuming office. The
growth of the United States, which is
now fourth in population among the

ten years has been nearly 81 per cent

AT THE POLLS

/ Treasurer Of the Interstate National
Guard Association, is in Washington
arranging for the n. n.aeting OF that AS
sociation in convention, December II,
said of the political situation in his
State: Some Republicans out our way
are predicting that the State will give
Mckinley 100000 or 125000 majority.
am not counting so many, but I think
there will be majority of $4,000 for
him, and that 10000 of it will come
from Cook county"
X ~~
The most remarkable odds ever Of
fered on an election have been posted
in New York by responsible Boston
man, and a telegram has been received
in Washington inviting acceptance by
responsible parties of any of them up
to any amount The offers are 100000
to $4,000 that Mckinley will carry
Illinois by $4,000 majority, 100000 to
100000 that Mckinley will be elected;
100000 to $4,000 that Mckinley car
ries New York, and even money that
Mckinley gets a majority of the popu-
lar vote in the Southern States.
A G. A. R. man who called at the
headquarters of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee to get
a voters certificate, in order to get
railroad ticket to his home at the re-
duced rates, gave an additional reason
why all ex-Union soldiers should vote
for President Mckinley. Said he: do
you know what this Presidential cleo
tion means to the soldiers of the war
of the rebellion? 1t is their last op-
portunity to vote to make one of their
comrades the executive ruler of the
land they fought to save. In all hum
an probability, after the second term
of President Mckinley, no other can
didate for this high Office will be TAX
en- from the ranks of the Grand Army
They will be too far along in years for
the severe and eXacting strain required
in that position. Honors and high of
fees in many instances will continue
to be given them while they live, but
this is the last time they may reason
ably expect to elect a comrade to the
chief magistracy. Veterans, sons of
Veterans, and all first voters should
think of this. We are making his
tory, and this is probably the only op-
portunity remaining to vote for a
soldier of the war of the rebellion for
President"

The Boston Herald, which once char
actsrized Mr.. Bryan as 'open, frank and
courageous. now admits that he has
"badIy detsriorated. 80 The Herald s dag
nosis Of deterioration is not, we think,
altogether correct. The trouble with
Mr.. Bryan is that he never possessed both
frankness and courage. 1t is true that
be has appeared to, and actually has,
spoken out with frankness at times, but
II one viii examine the circumstances
under which he thus spoke it will be
found that they were Of such q character
as not to call for the possession Of
much courage. 1t is easy enough
to be frank when frankness ap-
pears to be the polite thing, but it
Is quite another thing to be so when
the @poliey Of frankness is doubtful
Four years ago Mr.. Bryan thought and
had good reason to think that free silver
was a popular measure With this belief
IN his mind it required no courage to be
frank as regards silver. To be outspoken
then vas in his estimation the best way
to commend himself to the voters. This
year the situation has been different. 1t
could not have escaped Mr.. Bryan that
there was q very large element IN his own
parry that had no sympathy with frae
silver, and that to be frank about that
doctrine was liable to ALLEVIATE this
element. 70 be open this year required
courage -Four years ago no test was
applied which could determine whether
Mr. Bryan was q man who really had
the courage OF his convictions or not.
This year it has been applied, and the
result shows that the estimate that cred
tied him with courageous frankness was
wrong. If he bad been a courageously
frank man, when he was asked If he
would pay the deb5 in silver he would
have answered either yes or no, and not
have said simply that the Republicans
placed tbs dollar before the man; when
he was asked If he still stood by his
financial doctrines he " ould have replied
categorically and not resOrtsd to
clumsy evasion by declaring that the Re
pubiicaDs Wers once in favor of bimetal-
ism. So, too, when he was asked about
the wholesale acknowledgements at the
South he would have given his real opin-
ion about them if be had been a courage
ously frank man, instead of resorting to
subterfuge to escape direct answer, The
truth about Bryan IS that he IS not and
never has been a really frank and oour-
ageous man. He says now that he is
more interested to improve the lot of the
hHmblest citizen than to be President,
but when he evades questions pertinent
to the pending issues lest the answers
might ALLEVIATE votes, the people viii
suspect with good reason that he Is not
ingenious in that declaration.

1t has been assumed IN the discussion
Of the Marginal way question that the
Boston s. Maine was free to build
trestIe OF. road bed outside of the Margi
nal way. 1t appears, however, that that
freedom is not absolute. The charter
of the road gives it the right to build
outside or inside the way, but this
right is subject to all the statutes in re-
gard to Portland Harbor. One of those
statutes is that mo erection, incumbrance
or material shall hereafter be placed or
or deposited In those waters (Fore
River and Back Cove), which will OBJ
Etruot the flow and ebb of those waters,
or diminish the volume thereof without
written permission Of said (harbor) COM
missioners." 1t seems to be clear there
fore that no road bed OF trsstle can be
built without the permission OF the har-
Dor commissioners. The general govern
ments permission may also have to be
obtained, for By a statute passed By Con-
grsss in 1899, It is provided 'that the
creation Of any obstruction not affir.
mati7ely authorized by Congress, to the

SIZING UP BRYAN.
(BOstOn HeFald.l

One of the best estimates OF William J.
Bryan that we have seen recently comes
from Franklin MacVeagh of Chicago.
Mr.. MacVeagh is a Democrat, with In
dependent tendencies, and he is deoid-
edly able man. He has been the project
ed candidate Of his partly fer United
States Senator, ana would have strength
enad Illinois in the Senate could he have
been chosen to that body. Like many
others, he is debarred from Democratic
usefulness now, however. He says OF
Bryan:
He is man of half-truths-the most
dangerous sort of man for great RESPONSE
bili5ies. And, as might be expected OF
such man, he is responsive to any radi-
calism under the sun. He has a bright,
lively intellect. but no power Of profound
thought, no capacity for deep study, and
no taste for wide reading or experience,
He is unsafe, having no serious gift of
statesmanship. He was at first frank
and open and courageous; he now has
deteriOrated, and resorts to campaign
tricks, uDfairn6ss and disguise
This diagnoses Bryan alike as he was
and as he is. The Herald at one time
commended him for being "open, frank
and courageous, " but it now fully agrees
with Mr.. MacVeRgh that he has badly
deteriOrated.
