canvas in front of the Lewiston National
Bank building last night brought out a
large crowd who waited in almost breath
less suspense for the returns to come.
Democrats and republicans mingled to-
gether. The crowd was most orderly, no
fights or mishaps occurring. The returns
from New York and Illinois coming as a
landslide for Mckinley showed fully the
sentiment OF the American people. Re-
publicans in the crowd were jubilant and
the democrats looked on in silence at the
one-sided affair, great many refusing to
believe that the reports which were
chronicling republican victories, were
true. The returns from Massachusetts,
which at first showed democratic gains,
and which lent enthusiasm to Bryanites,
rolled into line later with republican
majorities, freezing the countenances of
the Bryanites. Early returns from New
York City showed Mckinley to be run
ming we'll, but Bryan's increase from time
to time lightened the hearts of his ad-
mirers. The plurality of Bryan in the
city was much less than he had expected.
The state returns showed McKinley's
strength outside of New York City, but
the proportion of gains for Bryan were
largely in excess Of New York City
gains, which were cut from the estimates.
The crowd roared and cheered when the
Illinois returns were flashed and the
heavy gains by Mckinley in Cook county
and Chicago only tended to dampen the
spirits of the Bryanites. No returns from
the State of Idaho were received last night
but the county furnished two country
precincts giving majority of two. This
was some little consolation to the demo.
Gratis though by midnight the most of
them had gone home. The bulletins
were kept open until 4 p m, when they
were discontinued. This mornings re-
turns from country precincts were being
received at the board at 4th and 5th streets
the early returns received showed every
thing democratic. West Lewiston pre-
cinct showed total of about 7o2 votes
cast, Mckinley electors carrying the pre-
cinct by IS. The state ticket also went
about rs republican.
The republican county ticket was car
ried by about rs majority although Lydon
the democratic treasurer and Kroutinger
democratic sheriff both ran ahead of the
republican ticket. Leeper ran ahead of
Isaman while the other two republican
commissioners made safe majorities. East
Lewiston precint showed vote of little
over 400.
1t showed the republican ticket ahead
about the same proportion as in West
Lewiston, though Leachman, for sheriff,
ran ahead of Kroutinger. Outside of
Lewiston, returns received show strong
democratic gains, and Leland, a strong
republican precinct, gave a democratic
majority of as Returns from Spalding,
Reeman, Bedrock, Hatwai, Waha and
Tammany showed democratic gains with
fair show of carrying the county. At
the time of going to press, sixteen pre-
cincts heard from give Mckinley about
100 majority. Eight precincts yet to
hear from, however, it is generally con-
ceded that the democrats can now only
carry five of the Offices: Sheriff, treas
urer and commissioners, though heavy
majority in two precincts would give the
commissioners to the republicans.

me accusation goes on to tell how the
sheriff was engaged by Senator Folsom

dlsaffected ones came up and took our
men away from the property by force.
The sheriff came up and arrested them
in the act.

He had no more to do with the property

nat tHe STORY Dy means or which II is
sought to create a prejudice against
Senator Folsom is nothing but a lie as
far as it is made to apply to him.
1t is perhaps necessary to refer only
briefly to some of the other charges.
The statement hat Senator Folsom
made an effort to secure a packed Jury

equally untrue. He had no interest

one word as to Mr.. Folsom's true labor
record. In his own affairs he has ALWAYS
insisted on having the best men to be

month than the ''going wages" Other
employers of laborers in the vicinity who
may have believed that his action was
costing them money and who had at sum

will tell that this is true. It is a fact
that David E. Folsom has uniformly,

was also related that he interfered With
the ends of justice and so manipulated
the courts that the men were defeated,
and himself or his friends improperly
benefited. That was eight years ago.
Now, there is nothing worthy of remark
about this story, save the fact that there
Is not a particle of truth in it. Whoever
wrote it for the Miner deliberately or
ignorantly misrepresented the facts.

absolute truth about the matter, which
is, in a nutshell, that Mr.. Folsom at the
time OF the trouble described was not in
t@erested in the property, directly or in
directly, to tine extent of one cent; was
not responsible in the slightest degree
for the beginning or the outcome Of it,
and from that day to this had no more
to do with the property, or it's manage

a dastardly libel on an honest man:
Helena. Mont, Oct. 24.-My attention
has been called to al article in the Inde-
pendent of this morning, attacking SEN
ator David E. Folsom on account Of a
pretended connection the paper says he
had with certain labor troubles on the
Cumberland mine in Meagher county
several years ago. This story is a fabri-
cation from beginning to end, as far as
Senator FOLSOM is concerned. l canrGs
ma words too strong to sufficiently con-
uemn the spirit of unfairness that seeks
TO make 1t appear that Senator Folsom
was concerned in the trouble in question:.
1t is totally untrue. 1t is a lie made out
of whole cloth.
The facts are that Senator Folsom
originally had an interest in the Cum
bertrand. That was in 1890. In july Of
that year l myself took the management
of the property and l and Charles f..
severance bought outright the interest
OF Senator Folsom in the property. From
that time on Senator Folsom did not
own any of the stock and had no interest
Whatever in the mine. He had no more

interest in it than the veriest outsider
IN the world. His connection with the
cumberland absolutely ceased at the
Time we bought his interest. BY no turn
OF the imagination could anything that
was lone be laid at his door.
AS to the subsequent PROCEEDINGS. II,
the winter the company decided to build
a snlelter. There was a. miners union
IN the camp, but no laborers' union. T.
as manager of the company and as tbe
man IN control of the property. posted
d notice that we would on a certain Mon.
Gay following start work on the site
OF the proposed smelter. and announced
that we would pay 81 80 a dy for laborers
on the work. Plenty of men apneared
and work was begun. There were Soma
disa1fected ones M they prevailed upon
the men to quit work.
then set another day for the BEGIN
nlnS OF the work n made a similar
announcement as to wages. More men
appeared and work was begun, The
second time the men were prevailed an
to quit.
The third time I got men from the

in all the transactions of life has been
actuated by a most %scrupulous sense of
honor, that man is David +. Folsom.
The marvel is that any paper in the
state would dare attack tnhc.record ofsuch
a man. The result will be to rende
more conspicuous The fact that the ooject
of this attack is above and beyond in
jury in the estimation of the public.
Fortunately there is plenty of supple
mentary evidence forthcoming to give
weight to the statement, Of Mr.. Lsn
Lewis. Most Of it will he supplied in
affidavits from r,e miners who Were con-
cerned in the troubln and WHO as honest
