TALK OF REORGANIZATION.
what the democratic Leaders Are Saying
About the Matter.

hDOub the 4hattCNs
+. Chicago, Nov. 9.-The Democratic
party, with probably 6,500O00 voters,
perhaps more, having been defeated at
the polls the talk has now began ON
reorganization and below are given
some representative expressions;
James III. Eckels: Fortunately for
the country Mr.. Bryan has been re-
tired permanently, and now the Demo
cratic party has n future. Under his
leaderShipit had none. Here
tofore Democracy has not been dis
trusted by the country's business ele-
ments. On the other hand, it has
drawn many of them to its support.
This it must do again, and it will do so
by standing to real Democratic prin-
cinIes on finance"
Ex-Governor Altgeld: mo. The
second defeat of Bryan viii not re-
suit in the complete reorganization of
the Democratic party. Bryan is 3,
100000 votes stronger than any other
man in the party, and If we cannot
elect him we cannot elect anybody.
We do not want to win If we
must sell or mortgage the Democratic
party to eastern spectators for mon
ey-making purposes, as was done both
times when we elected Cleveland"
General Edward s. Bragg: Il hope
that the lesson will prove valuable
one to the Bryan party and that it will
profit by the experience, and /
thought that the experience of 1896
ought to have been sufficient. l have
no desire to talk on reorganization for
while, as l prefefSto let some Of the
so-called party managers have time to
cool off, and TO find out where they are
at Let those fellows do the talking
now"
The following is from New York:
Eek Governor William j. Stone said
of the proposed reorganization of the
Democratic party: This kind OF talk
always follows the defeat Of any par
~. Had the Republicans N defeated
they would be talking reorg- aization

to them for past support to stand in
their way, even if l desired seat in

Bryan said he has no other plans at
present than to remain at home until
he has recovered from the fatigue of
campaigning. He denied the report
that he would remove from Nebraska
and make Texas his home. One of the
first things Bryan did yesterday was
to send the following telegram to Pres
ident Mckinley:
"At the close of another presidential
campaign, it is my lot to congratulate
you upon a second victory"

Later Returns from Dis.
puted States.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 9.-W. J. Bryan
last night gave out statement cLn-
corning the election, of which the fol-
lowing is the pith: THE result was a
surprise to me, and the magnitude or
the Republican victory was a surprise
to our opponents, as well as to those
who voted our ticket. 1t is Impossible
to analyze the returns until they are
more complete, but speaking generally
we seem to have gained in the large
cities and TO have lost in the smaller
cities and in the country. The Repub-
licans were able to secure tickets or
passes for all their voters who were
away from home and this gave them
considerable advantage. We have no
way of knowing at this time how much
money was spent in the purchase OF
votes and in colonization.
Suggests Causes for the Eject.
''But while these would account for
some of the Republican gains they
could not account for the widespread
increase in the Republican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the Republic
ans The appeal stand by
the president while the war is on had
a great deal of influence among those
who did not realize that war against
q doctrine Of self-government in the
Philippines must react upon US in this
country.
Fight Must Go On, He Says.
'We are defeated, but not discour-
aged. The fight must go on. am sure
that Republican policies will be repu-
dated by the people when the ten
dency of these policies is fully under
stood. The contest between plutocracy
and Democracy cannot end until one
or the other is completely triumphant"
