London Papers Voice the Sentiment
Regarding Election Here.
REJOICE IN CROKER'S UNDOING
They Attribute Bryan's Defeat to
His Financial Ideas.
ALLUSION TO THE BOERS

LONDON November THE afternoon
papers voice the general sentiment of Eng
land with the result of the presidential
election in the United States. The Even
ing News says:
"Anti-imperialsm. the attempt to stir up
Jealousy against England, the champion
ship of the Beers and pandering to the
Fenians all awaited Bryan nothing. His
defeat is even more defeat for Croker
and Tammany. and that is its happ.est fea-
ture. 1t really looks as though Ameri-
cans are tired of the gang of corrupt Irish
Americans who have degraded American
politics so long
The Star says:
Had Bryan kept to the issues of anti
imperialism anti-trusts and social reform
he might conceivably have won. Sound
money proved his undoing. He has been
been very much of a voluntary crucitixion.
The most remarkable feature is the per-
sunal defeat of Boss Croker
Views of the Thunderer.
The Times in special edition says:
.'McKinley's victory is no ordinary party
triumph. 1t is victory for common hon
esty. sound sense and sober, enlightened
political Judgment.
After reference to Bryans endeavor to
make imperialism the paramount issue the
Times says: Free silver and Its attend
ant heresieS are the real matters upon
which the electors have given judgment.
After commenting upon organs adVo-
cacy of unsound principles and unconstl-
tutional methods and his appeals to class
hatred, which stirred the passions OF all
the worst elements of the population. the
Times expresses the opinion that mad Bfyan
been elected even all the checks OF the
Constitution could not have restrained him
from experiments fatal to social order and
material prosperity, and it concludes:
From that danger the country is merci-
fully delivered certainly for the present,
and we may hope, for all time
Pail Mall Gazette's Views.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
1.-THE result is most welcome from every
viewpoint In Mckinley and Roosevelt
Great Britain has just the sort of friends
We want Not effuSive ranterS, who sicken
everybody by their excessive pretense OF
cousinly unity, but quite benevolent neu-
trails As business nation, the final de-
feat of unsound money is most acceptable
to US AS believers in a pure ana hoheSt
administration. We rejoice at the defeat of
Tammany. AS a member of the communl-
" of nations and feeling pecullafly AKIN
to the United States. Great Britain is glad
to acclaim the defeat of the man whose
tenure of office would have meant anarchlc
tendencies of all kinds
The Globe, basing its comments on the
idea that imperialism was the HILL point
at issue, says:
"Henceforth the United States will take
it's pace as a world power. To the whole
world the result of the election is of SUI
preme Importance and frauGht with mo-
mentous consequences to all nations. In
this country it will be hailed with unal-
Logged satisfaction. We gladly welcome the
entry of the young giant of the west into
the councils of the world
The St. James Gazette remarks:
lit would have been always unworthy of
America had the corruption and jobbery
of Tammany Hall carried the day, but es-
peciaiIy it would have been little short of
disastrous to the world at large if Mr.
Bryan had received the mandate to re-
verse the only policy the United States can
possibly pursue in Cuba and the Philip
pines, which is the policy of MIR. Mckinley.
We may look forward with confidence to
Mr.. Mckinley's line in the far east, now
that he feels his policy has thus far COM
Inended itself to the sound views of his
countrymen. -'
The Westminster Gazette says: ~
Mr.. Bryan spoke for millions conscious
| of the tyranny of money in the United
States. but he fatally handicapped himself
| with the free silver craze. HIS close asso-
| citation with Boss Croker also blighted
| their hopes in him as cleanser of admin
| istratiOnS.
