WHAT THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE SAID.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 8.-Mr. Bryan
to-day gave out statement ex-
planning his views on last Tuesdays
election. The statement 10 as fol.
lows:
THE result is surprise to me,
and the magnitude Of the victory 10
a surprise to our opponents as we'll
as to those who voted our ticket. l
will not anslyze the votes 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 Republicans were
able TO secure tickets or passes for
all Of their voters who were away
from home, and this gave them .
considerable advantage. We have
no way of telling at this time how
much money was spent in the pur-
chase of votes and in colonization,
but while these would account for
some OF the Republican gains, they
could not account for the wide
spread increase in the Republican
vote. The prosperity argument
was probably the most potent one
used by the Republicans. They
compared present conditions with
the panic times OF 1898 to 1896, and
this argument had weight with
those who did not stop 10 consider
reasons for the change. The appeal,
Stand by the President while tho

having done our duty as We saw it,
we have nothing to regret. We are

Griygs promptly said that industrial
trusts were "entirely matters OF state
control. !" and added: IL would b. super
o,,icious to attempt crusade against
affairs with which have no concern.
OF course the antitrust laws have not
been enforced against the campaign con-
tributors. and no honest attempt has
been made to enforce them.
The republican congress could nave
broken NJ one half or more OF the mo"'p'
olics 10y repeating the duties that promote
and protect them. But no such thing
has been even attempted.
In addition tn all this is the concrete
