VIE WP0INT Of BRYAN
Given in a Statement He Makes
Regarding the Recent Pc.
litical Climax.
NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE ToeA.
Congrntulates President Mckinley,
but Says the Fight Will Go On
Later Returns from Dis.
puted States.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-W. ]. Bryan
last night gave out statement con-
corning the election, of which the fol
lowing is the pith: 1.-THE result was
surprise to me, and the magnitude Of
the Republican victory was surprise
to our opponents, as we'll as to those
who voted cur ticket. Ii is impossible
to analyze the returns 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 Repub-
licans were able to secure tickets or
passes for all their voters who were
away from home and this gave them
considerable advantage. We have no
way of knowing at this time how much
money was spent in the purchase of
votes and in colonization.
Suggests Causes for the Effect.
But while these would account for
some of the Republican gains they
could not account for the widespread
increase in the Republican Vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the Republic
ans. The appeal stand by
the president while the war is on had
great deal of influence among those
who did not realize that war against
a doctrine of self-goyernment in the
Philippines must react upon us in this
country.
Fight Must Go On, He Says.
I'VE are defeated, but not discour-
aged. The fight must go on. am sure
that Republican policies will be repu-
dated by the people when the ten
dency of these policies is fully under
stood. The contest plutocracy
and Democracy cannot end until one
or the other is completely triumphant"

ticcllo Are Recovered.
Yarmouth, N. S., Nov. 12.-The
shore of this country for ten miles east
and west is strewn With the wreckage
of the hull and cargo of the steamer
City of Monticello, which foundered
Saturday morning, and twenty-five
bodies of yictimes of the disaster have
been recovered from the sea, which is
still raging with terrific fury.
Thirty-two persons are now known
to have lost their lives in the disaster.
Many persons have assembled at
Rockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives
of members of the crew, who nearly
have arrived to identify the dead. The
public hall. All are terribly battered.
These victims evidently had come
ashore in the lifeboat and were killed
on striking the beach, not one escap-
ing.
A revised list of members of the
crew prepared tn the head office of the
Yarmouth Steamship company here
shows that the officers and crew num-
bered twenty-eight. The total number
of people who were on board is now
placed at thirty-siX, and only four
were saved. These survivors agree
that the cause of the disaster was
briefly as follows: The steamer was
pounded for hours by sea and gale,
sprang a leak and filed, became I'M
manageable, broke apart and foun-
dered.

TALK OF REORGANIZATION.
What tho Democratic Leaders Are Saying
About the Natter.

what tho democratic LeauerB are SuyAnS
About the Matter.
Chicago, Nov. 9.-The Democratic
party, with probably 6,50O,OOO voters,
perhaps more, having been defeated at
the polls the talk has now began on
reorganization and below are given
some representative expressions:
James Ii. Eckels: FORTUNATELY for
the country Mr.. Bryan has been re-
tired permanently, and now the Demo-
cratic party has future. Under his
leadershipit hadnone. Here
tofore Democracy has not been dis
trusted by the country's business ele-
ments. On the other hand, it has
drawn many of them to its support.
This 1t must do again. and it will do so
by standing to real Democratic prin-
ciples on finance"
Ex-Governor Altgeld: mo. The
second defeat Of Bryan will not re-
suit in the complete reorganization of
the Democratic party. Bryan is q
100000 votes stronger than any other
man in the party, and if we cannot
elect him we cannot elect anybody.
We do not want to win IL we
must sell or mortgage the Democratic
party to eastern spectators for mon
ey-making purposes, as was done both
times when we elected Cleveland"
General Edward S. Bragg: 81 hope
that the lesson will prove Il valuable
one to the Bryan party and that it will
profit by the experience, and
thought that the experience of 1896
ought to have been sufficient. l have
no desire to talk on reorganization for
a while, as l prefer to let some f the
so-called party managers have time to
cool off, and to find out where they are
at. Let those fellows do the talking
now"
The following is from New York:
Ex-Governor William j. Stone said
Of the proposed reorganization of the
Democratic party: This Kind of talk
always follows the defeat CT any par
ty. Had the Republicans been defeated
they would be talking reorganization
today. Those who have most to say
about the reorganization are generally
the ones who contributed most to the
defeat of their party"
A special from Detroit says that
Don NJ Dickinson is authority for the
statement that within three weeks a
meeting will be held in New York city
to outline plan of reorganization for
the Democratic party. He says the
call for the meeting will have the sig
natures of prominent Democrats. The
meeting. Dickinson says, will be at
tended by Democrat of both gold and
silver leanings.

Post A1ortem Spite.

Brooches, rings, medallion portraits
and other similar articles, mostly val
ued for old associations sake, are con-
stantly being consigned to the grave,
even among the poorer classes of the
community. Indeed in G large east end
cemetery not long ago a body was bur-
led with large sum-several hundred
pounds-in Bank of England notes, the
valuable roll being placed inside the
little hollow wooden pillow which sup
ported the head. 1t is difficult to sur
mise the object of this strange pro-
ceeding, as the only result would be, of
course, to present the institution in
question with the face value of the
notes. 1t may have been, however,
that the intention was to try and dis
appoint some expectant heir at law, q
species of ostentatious post mortem
spite which is far more common than
most people suppose.-London Express.

Concerning himself Bryan said: 81
have come cut of the campaign with
perfect health and as clear a con-
science. did my utmost to bring sue
cess to the principles for which l
stood. Mr.. Stevenson did all that he
could; Senator Jones and the members
of the Democratic, Populist, Silver Re-
publican and anti-imperlalist commit
tees did all they could. Mr.. Hearst
and his associates in the club organ
izatlon put forth their best efforts. Our
newspapers, our campaign speakers
and our local organizations all did
their part. l have no fault to find, and
no reDroaches. shall continue to take
an active interest in politics as long
as live. believe it to be the duty
Of the citizens to do so, and in addi-
ton to my interest as a citizen feel
that it will require life time of work
to repay the political friends who have
one SO much for me.
shall not be n senatorial candidate
before the legislature, which has been
elected. Senator Allen deserves the
senatorship, which goes to ths Popu-
lists. Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. w. Il.
Thompson are avowed candidates for
the senatorship. They both deserve
well Of the party, and am too grateful
to them for past, support to stand in
their way, even If desired a seat in
the senate"
Bryan said he has no other plans at
present than to remain at home until
he has recovered from the fatigue of
campaigning. He denied the report
that he would remove from Nebraska
and make Texas his home. One of the
first things Bryan did yesterday was
to send the following telegram to Pres
ident Mckinley:
"At the close of another presidential
campaign, it is my lot to congratulate
you upon a second victory"
