THE ELECTION.

President McKinley's administration
is sustained. His Philippine policy is
approved. The effort 10 make imper-
ialism tine paramount issue failed. The
returns show that the money question
was the one the people were thinking
about while the orators and newspa-
pers were discussing militarism and the
trusts.
There is no other explanation of the
large vote for Mr.. Mckinley in all of
the Eastern states, the great states of
the Middle West and particularly in
New York city, where Mr.. Croker had
promised Democratic majority of at
least $4,000. There is no doubt that he
did the best he could for Mr. Bryan.
He could not, however, alIay the APP
prehensions of business disaster and in
dustrial depression aroused 10 that
great money center by MIR. Bryan's adj
herence to the IS to idea. Indeed,
that apprehension existed throughout
the entire country. 1t was as notice
able in the South as elsewhere. Thou
sands of Southern business men voted
for MIR. Mckinley for that reason and
other thousands did not vote at all.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Croker
did very well. He gave MIR. Bryan a
majority IN New York city, though Mr..
Mckinley carried it by large plurali-
ty in 1896.
1t is true that as compared with 1896
there was falling off in Mr.. MeKln-
ley's major1ties, particularly in Mass
lachusetts, but that state was the
headquarters of the Anti-Imper-
i4llstic League. Massachusetts is
so strongly Republican, however,
that there was no fear that its electoral
vote would be given to Mr.. Bryan, and,
therefore, many Republicans, doubt
less, voted their convictions on the
Philippine question. To the West, as
in the South, the question of imperial
ism made very little impression. The
American people are not willing appar
emily to admit their inability to sus-
tain their flag in the Philippines. Be-
sides, there is a very considerable SEN
timent in all parts of the country IN ia
vor of expansion.
The money question, however, was
the one that decided the contest. If
Mr.. Bryan had abandoned silver he
would have come nearer being elected.
Indeed, the probabilities are that he
would have been successful. There
is no doubt that he made remarkable
campaign. If he had dropped the silver
issue he might not have had the sup
port of the Populist party, but the loss
of its support would have been made
up from other sources. The Demo-
cratic party has gained nothing by it's
fusion with the Populists.
The Democratic party will never rely
upon silver again as an issue. It's mex
battle will be fought with different
issues and under different leaders,

PORTLAND MINE TO BE SOLD
Property VIII Be Purchased by an
English Syndicate.

English Syndicate.
DENVER, Nov. s.-Although the re-
ported sale of the Portland mine is de-
MED at the Office of the company in
Colorado Springs it is generally believed
in mining circles that this big Cripple
Greek mining property will pass into
the hands of an English syndicate, con-
sisting of the Venture corporation, the
Exploration company and Werner, Belt
& Co., the South African diamond mi
ners and investors in Mexican mines
and railroads. Tt is said that the price
paid is about SIS, 900, 900. 1t Is known
that experts for the concerns in the deal
have made thorough examination of the
property and from London comes the
report that the deal is practically closed.
The plan reported from London is to
consolidate the Portland with Stratton' s
independence and to form a new COM
pany to control both of the great gold
properties. Such a consolidation would
create not only the greatest gold mining
property in Colorado, but probably the
greatest in the world.

An armed collision was threatened
for a time, but the supreme Courl s de-
c.sion In favor of the Cabinet caused
the King to submit.
Those who had worked with Colonel
Ashford cast him aside later on account
II his being involved in revolutionary
conspiracies. Ashford knew of the
Wilcox outbreak in 1859 and 1t Is even
sald that he was the instigator of that
affair. Ashford and Wilcox were close
ly connected in various schemes and
were great friends.
In 1892 V. V. Ashford, Wilcox and
others were arrested for another con-
spiracy. Ashford was suspected of be-
Ing deeply concerned In the movement
against the Republic In 1895 and was
banished from the Hawaiian Islands.
He left Honolulu a physical wreck and
had lived in San Francisco up to the
time of his death.
AS commander of the Honolulu Rifles,
Colonel Ashford was exceedingly pop
ular with the boys, who would have
done anything for him and followed
wherever he might choose to lead
them. Ashford had the political situa-
ton entirely within his power; in the
opinion OF many kamaainas, as COM
mander OF the Rifles, he could have
even seized the throne with the force
at his command
1t is said that Ashford first came to
Honolulu as book agent; afterwards,
outside of the Honolulu Rifles, he was
deeply interested in the Reform
/ I oil n n
money and his ambition was to be
hand In glove with Rex. Once he want
ed to be Consul to San Francisco and
II is said that he was promised that po-
siton by some of the most influential
men In Honolulu. This position would
have meant at that time from $4,000 Ia
| 10000 per year.
The King once gave him $4,000. Some
claim that he took 1t as bride, but
the men in the League said this was moi
true; that he had made a statement OF
he matter himself, showing that the
$4,000 was paid him for some special
business he had had from the King.
After the revolution OF 1887 ASHFORD
was the great political boss" II is
said that while he coveted no high po-
sition for himself Just then, he secured
the position of Attorney General for
his brother and he also named the Mar
shall and the Port Surveyor.
The King, after the Revolution, be-
came very stiff and surly when he saw
that he could run things to suit him
self, and the Reform League began 10
see that they would have to use some
means to hold him down. 1t was at
that time that these parties met In a
place not far from the present Govern
