Mi !. Howard Cowperthwait, n
prominent New York business man,
writes as follows to the New York
Times: 1T is not necessary to prove
that Bryan if elected, would he able
to put us on a silver basis. The clear
headed man of affairs does not place
in a position of trust an untrustworthy
person. thus relying solely upon the
safeguards surrounding the position
On the contrary, it is usual TO select
trustworthy persons, no matter how
safely guarded the position may be,
and it Is hardly reasonable to suppose
that practical men will vote to put into
the position of very highest trust the
man who most certainly desires to dis
honor the position and the country.
when certain of our professional
friends tell us that Bryan could do no
harm, we are reminded of the old
story of the man who had to insist that
he actually was arrested, his profess
sional adviser insisting that he could
not be. But business men who recall

enough for them TO know now that the
election of Mr.. Bryan would be the
signal for a renewal Of doubt and dis

Guiding Pittsburg, nearly 10000. Bryan
carried Is of the 81 counties in the
state.
In this city the fusion of the Demo-
Gratis with the Municipal League cut
down the Republican county majority,
but j. Hampton Moore, for city treas
urer, and Jacob Singer, for register of
wills, are elected by about $4,000 plu-
rality.
The result of former Senator Quay's
effort to secure control of sufficient
number of members of the incoming
legislature to insure his return to the
United States senate is as yet in doubt.
There is no disputing the fact that the
attempts of his opponents to defeat
him in certain counties by fusion with
the Democrats are practically failure.
The ex-Senator's friends claim the leg
islature on joint ballot Senator Quay
himself declares his reelection a GER
tainty. The indications are that he will
have 145 votes in joint ballot, II more
than necessary TO elect. The anti-Quay
Republicans will probably not muster
over so votes of the 256 on joint ballot.

Despite the Proposed Anti-Tammany
Democratic GrganixatiOn-Ex-Sen
mtor Quay's Victory-Sebrnskaa and
Kentucky in Doubt.
New York, Nov. S.-Political head
quarters in this city and state are being
abandoned. and the campaign on 1900
is now history. Ex-Governor Stone, who
has had charge of the Democratic ma
tionaI headquarters here, is preparing
to return to Missouri. Republican lead
ers of national reputation who have
made their headquarters here in this
city for a number of weeks past are
also scattering to their homes in diff
ferent sections of the country. The
large plurality received for Mckinley
in the electoral college and the GER
tainty that the next congress will be
Republican has taken the keen edge of
popular interest here. Richard Croker
despite the fact that the newspapers
of the city are discussing the possi-
bilities of an anti-Tammany Demo
cratic organization, is prepared TO
leave for England in the near future.
Governor Roosevelt is stpl resting at
Oyster Bay and State Chairman and
Governor-elect Odell vibrates between
his home at Newburg ahd the now
practically deserted RMp4blican peat
quarters in this city.
The official returns as received are
not materially changing the results,
and Mckinley's plurality remains APP
proXimately 145 900 in the state. John
B. Stanchfield, the Democratic nominee
for governor, ran ahead of his party'S
presidential electors, but OdelPs plu-
rality still remains about 100000. 1t
seems probable that the congressional
delegation from New York state will
remain as indicated in the earlier re-
ports. Long Island, Brooklyn included,
divides it's congressional delegation
evenly, three Republicans and three
Democrats Republican gain Of three.
On Manhattan the Republicans elected
only one member of congress, William
II. II. Douglass defeating j. S. Hill,
Captain William A. Storchan, who de-
feated Lemuel e. Quigg two years ago,
having declined denomination in this
district this year. Two Democrats are
elected up the state, W. II. Ryan haV-
ing been returned from one of the Buff
falO districts, and G.. A. Pugsley, OF
Westminster county, succeeding John
Q. Underhill, who is also Democrat.
This makes the congressional delega-
ton stand q Republican and ~ Demo
cratic, Republican gain OF five. Both
houses of the state legislature are Re-
publican by a large plurality, but a
number of the districts are close and it
may require the official count TO de-
eide in several cases.
