The expected las happened, and VIII
liam Mckinley Is reelected president OF
the United States BY a lzrger electoral
vote than that given him four years ago.
The detailed results Of the election sre
given on the first page OF this issue OF
the Democrat.
The only state Bryan has gained over
1886 ia Keutucky, which is his by
small margin. On the other hand he has
lost sll but four of the northern states
which he carried IN 1896, giving him
ONLY thirteen electoral votes outside OF
the solid South.
IL Is true, as pointed out by Demo
cratic journals, that Brysn has made
gains ard reduced the Republican ms
jority in some Of the strongest Repuoli-
can states; on the other hand, IL Is also
true that Brysn's majority has been re-
duced from that Of four years ago In all
but two OF the states which he carried.
The result Of the election Is trium-
plant endorsement OF the principles OF
the Republican party, aud OF the wise,
patriotic and able administration OF Will
liam Mckinley.
