ing the Returns.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived election returns at his residence
in this city. His house was fairly over
run with newspaper men and telegraph
operators. Not only was the first floor
of the house largely given up to them,
but two OF the rooms in the second
story also. Four telegraph wires were
run in the house. At 8 O'Clock when
the newspaper men congregated at Mr.
Rryan's house sought to secure a state
ment from him, they were told that he
had just gone to sleep and could not be
disturbed. When he retired to his own
room he glanced over the returns with
apparent interest and then expressing
a desire to make up some Of the rest he
had lost in the past few weeks, lay
down and was asleep in less than five
minutes.
Mr.. Bryan remained in his private
apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part of the time
re did not make his appearance in the
parlor of his house where the news
paper correspondents were congre-
gated, until IL o'clock and his coming
at that time was for the purpose of
notifying the press that he would have
nothing TO say for publication during
the night. He added that he might pos
sibly give out a statement today
After this assurance, the visitors
withdrew and soon afterwards the
lights were eXtinguished and the house
presented no signs of animation. Mrs.

Wilmington, Nov. Returns re-
ceived up to late hour indicate a Re-
publican majority in New Castle coun-
ty of 1000 to $500 This will give the
state to the Republicans by 1000 to
1900. The Democrats have carried Sus-
sex and Kent counties, according to
early reports, electlng two senators and
six out of ten Representatives in Kent
county and making gains in Sussex
county. This makes il certain that the
Democrats will have a majority Of the
next legislature.
In the First election district of New
Castle county ]. Prince Ford defeats
James Hitchins for representative, a
Democratic gain. In the Tenth Chaun-
cey p. Holcomb, Dem, defeats Harry
Husheback, Rep, another Democratic
gain. Gains are also reported. but not
officially, from Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, and the Democratic claim of the
legislature seems well founded

NOTHING IN RESERVE.

There is no doubt but that there
is an overwhelming drift Of public
sentiment in Bryan's direction.
The republicans are necessarily
on the defensive.
They cannot get away from the
record made BY this administration.
1t is Mckinley and not Bryan
who has furnished the issue Of im>
perialism which affects the basic
principles of free government.
1t is Mckinley who is keeping
100000 soldiers in the field in two
unauthorized wars.
1t is the Mckinley administra-
ton which has encouraged and
tostered trusts.
The conscience of the people has
been aroused. They feel that
Bryan meets these issues as a
statesman and patriot. There is
some hope of a return to the prin
ciples OF free government if Bryan
is elected.
The republicans have been un>
able to invent any new issue. They
have nothing in reserve with which
to make their campaign attractive.
They are using the paltry arts ol
the politician against the wisdom
and patriotism of statesman. No
wonder the people flock to the
standard Of Bryan.
