The President Makes = Brief speech to His
NetEhbors After Midnisht.

CANTON. Ohio. Nov. :. 1 A. VI. President
Mckinley received a tremendous ovation from
his townspeopie at 4? 40 o'clock this morning
and addressed them briefly from his porch. He
said
MY fellow citizans, I thank you for the very
great compliment OF this call on this In
clement night and at this lsta hour.
tLons continued applausel OF the many
gratifying reports from every part Of the
country none has given me more genuine and
sincere qualification than these which
come from my own city and my own
county OF Stark (Great applsusel and /

done OH 30 many former occasions--to thank
you once more for the warm and hearty In

record OF four years ago. McKinley's plu-
rality is about 10000. The Legislature is
Overwhelmingly Republican.
Nevada remained true to free silver and
gave Bryan a plurality Of from 500 to
1000
Bryan carried Missouri by a decreased
plurality. Both sides claim the Governor
ship. the Democrats for Dockery by 1000.
and the Republicans for Flory by 10000.
Arkansas gave a reduced Bryan plu-
rality. II will be about 5000. In some
places there was 50 little interest in the
voting that the polls were not opened until
"A. VI.
Oregon voted for Mckinley. giving plu-
rality estimated at 1900. This is big
gain over lses
Bryan has probably carried Montana. but
by a largely reduced plurality. The Repub-
leans have undoubtedly elected their State
ticket. the Legislature and Congressman.
This resul, is due to the split in the Demo-
cratic party Of the state.
Wyoming is Republican by from 100 TO
1900. A Republican Congressman is
elected and tie Legislature is strongly Re-
publican.
California returns come in slowly, but
early reports show Republican gains over
1895.
big vote was cast in Washington State.
and the count is being made very slowly.
The Republicans claim the State.
Kansas went Republican by about from
1900 to ?OooO
The Ohio plurality for Mckinley will be
not less than 5000. Congressman Lentz,
the Democratic anti-imperialIst, was de-
feated for reelection.
Republican gains in Utah indicate McKin-
Icy has carried the State by about 10000
and that the Republicans have elected their
State and Congress tickets,
NJ Bryan lost his own State TO the Re-
pubhcanS by cstin .tcs varying from 5000
to io"oc
Bryans plurality in the county of New
York is ?9o0o and IN the city OF New York
/, so,cN. S,acchhcld has 81 900 over Odell
in the county.
lowas Republican plurality is not less
than 100. eco. There WAS a clean sweep In
the Congress districts.
Delaware gives the national ticket from
/ 500 to 200 plurality. but the vote on the
State ticket is close and il is probable that
the Legislature will be Democratic and anti
Addcks
Pennsylvania again gives Mckinley about
3oO. 600 plurality. and the Republicans gain
from three to FIVE Congressman. TIE indi-
cations are that ex-senator Quay and his
friends have downed the Fusonists and |
that tho Legislature will be favorable to |

BIG GAINS IN CONGRESS-.
Bryan's Own State Repudiates
Him by a Big Vote.

Returns received in THE Sun Office up 10
O'Clock A. VI. increase rather than dimin-
ish the extent Of the Republican victory.
The pluralities for Mckinley as given In
various parts Of this edition Of THE
SUS all hold up. and In almost
every instance are considerably in
creased. The one State that appears to
be in doubt is Kentucky. Both sides arc
claiming II. but i. seems likely that its cleo
toral vote will 90 to Bryan. while the Re-
publican candidate for Governor will bs
elected
States like Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa. North Dakota. South Dakota, Kansa,
and Wyoming, as well Us the States on the
Pacific Coast, show much larger pluralities
for Mckinley than are recorded In other
parts OF this paper.
In Nebraska, Bryan's own State, the Re-
publicans hope to find the plurality finally
as high as cCoN.
Utah continues to show good account
Of itself. and is surely Republican. Mon
tana sends reaffirmation Of the election
Of the Republican State and Legislative
tickets. although the electoral vote will 60
to Bryan. The pluralitles in the Eastern
States are practically as given elsewhere.
II is Republican victory more sweeping
than even the most sanguine Republican
politicians had hoped for.

WHEELING W Va. Nov. e-The Democrats
have almost conceded the State The Republi.
can managers claim that President Mckinley
will have a plurality OF about 1900. In the
Third district the Republicans have gained
n Congressman. knocking out the Charleston
Democratic combine. The Republicans have
elected to Congress in the First district b. Is
Dovsner; Second Aston G. Dayton: Third.
Joseph II Gamer; Fourth. James z. Hughes.
The Legislature is in doubt. and the result
may not he determined for two days The
Democrats claim II. but the Republican mana
gers are confident Of a working ma jority.
Later returns give every reason for the belief
that McKinley's plurality will be about 1000
The four Congressman have undoubtedly
been elected by the Republicans The Lerls-
lature is claimed by both parties. but in view
Of the increased Republican plurality the
Republicans seem 10 have H. They have made

There IL no t.lephon. in his house and he de-
cned oNers from tle telegraph and telephone

to let him know what they heard.
The Governor was at dinner with his only

4 Happy Family Reunion.

EDITOR LEADER The celebration of
Mrs. A. d. joys I'D birthday was the
purpose of the meeting at her home on
the 18th inst. The gathering was in
tended by her children and grand
children-seven of the former and
thirty-two of the latter, with eight
great grand children being present
as a surprise to the old lady who lives
all alone but it failed to be great
surprise, as two similar surprises on
former dates had caused her to be on
her guard. However, the meeting was
an enjoyable affair and one long to be
remembered by the participants, who,
forty nine in all, partook of the de
lightful dinner At the table thanks
were returned by Mr.. j. NJ. johnson,
who has reached the extreme old age
of a. A SoN.

Kidney Troubles.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the health of
the body. If the liver becomes SO
torpid that it interferes with the work
of the kidneys the body suffers and
dropsy results. The most valuable
feature in the curative effect of Prick
ly Ash Bitters is it's stimulating infiu-
ence in the kidneys. 1t heals and
strengthens those organs so that they
resume their blood cleansing and urine
gathering functions, purifies and regu-
lates the liver, tones up the stomach
and digestion, and by mild yet thor
ough cathartic effect, all poisons and
bilious impurities in the bowels are
driven out. 1t quickly restores strength
and health. Sold by c. E. Grafton.

have offered them the opportunity to
settle at the scaled rate of sl.00 a year
instead of $3.50, which they really owe,
and yet have received no response
whatever. We are now engaged in
revising our subscription books for
another year, and have extended the
dollar rate one more month, hoping
many of the parties will still take adj
vantage of our liberal offer. Should
we fail to hear from them by February
lst we will erase their names and take
other steps to collect what they are due
us. We hope, however, this will not
become necessary.
