The unusual demonstration of 5000
business men of the stock exchanges
in New York, e McKinley's vic
tory, shows to what an extent the
business interests of the country are
affected by the election. These men
have been i'm fear and dread, lest
Bryan might be elected and trade and
commerce be paralyzed. Now, that
the suspense is ended and the breads
and fears are dispelled. their joys
know no bounds, and their ecstacy
overfiowed in the form of a wild and
hilarious demonstration such as calm,
dignified business men only indulge
in on occasions of most momentuOus
concern.

inauguration Mckinley has proved
himself equal 10 every emergency and
has been able to grasp every situation

more than even his friends hoped foI
and he has won the confidence of the
nation as few other men have done,
He has strengthened the credit Of
the country and has made the word
American mean more than it ever
meant before and has made the nations
Of the world feel q greater respect for
the American flag than ever before.
Under Mex inley's administration the
mills, factories and shops have been
running full time and the opportunities

greater than ever before,

ONE OF THE

One of the surprising things of thu
Montana election is the smallness Of
the independent democratic vote
throughout the state. The indepen.
dent ticket was fathered by that
wing of the democracy which waf
supposed to have Mr.. Marcus DAILY az
its leader. True, Mr.. DAILY has not
been in the state since last spring, but
the management of the independent
campaign was in the hands of his
most faithful and trusted lieutenants
at Anaconda. These were the men who
had defeated the ambitions of. Mr..
Clark time and again, and who adj
ministered the most crushing defeat
Mr.. Clark ever encountered when they
prevented that gentleman from en-
tering the senate last winter. With
the record the DAILY lieutenants had
for defeating Mr.. Clark it is great
surprise for the Montana people to
learn that the Butte copper king S 70
completely out managed his Old-time
enemies in the democratic party. And
the greatest surprise of all in this
connection is the triumph of Clark in
Deer Lodge county, the home of Mr..
DAILY and the county which brought
forth the independent state ticket as
a means of defeating the Clark fusion
crowd.
Either the enforced absence of Mr..
DAILY from the state during the most
exciting campaign the state has ever
witnessed had much to do with the
failure of the DAILY forces to make "A
showing or there were some awful
blnnders made by those who were at
the head of the column in the man
agement OF the independent demo-
cratic campaign. 1t must be acknowl-
edged that Clark for once has fri
umphed, and that too in what was
generally supposed to be impregnable
DAILY strongholds.
But the question whether Mr..
Clark will ever take a seat lii lie sem
ate at Washington, il elected next
winter by the Montana legislature. is
already under discussion in the ranks
of those who sailed under the indie
pendent democratic banner in the late
campaign. II is declared that the
victory of Mr.. Clark last Tuesday, by |
which ie secures a Legislature fayora-
BILE to his election as one of the sena-
tors from the state, is but temporary.
II is said, and ii not from re-
publican authority, that the same
aso which prevented Mr.. Clark
from taking his seat last winter at
Washington will be presented and
that the fight will be fought to a
final finish before the senate commit
tee which passes upon the credentials
OF newly elected members. 1t is APP
parent that the end is not In sight.

Bryan's congratulations to Mckinley
upon his second victory, was a pretty
piece of courtesy and consideration
that the nation will appreciate. Bryan
accepts the situation like a thorough

coming good grace that cannot but
raise him i'm the estimation of the

M'KINLEY

AAC COuutIy - HBeuT0u OH IOuT IuOT
years of prosperity, four more years O
good government, four more years o
republican administration. William
Mckinley has been reelected presi
dent of the United States and thu
country is saved from four years OF
Organism. A good fight has beer
made and won.
The people have spoken at the polls
and their decision is that republican.
ism shall be sustained and democracy
consigned to the background.
1t was one of the greatest political
struggles within the history of the
country and the results are SO decisive
that 1T is safe to assume there will be
no more efforts to foist upon the coun-
try a platform of anarchy, fiat money,
Altgeldism, Crokerism, Organism and
populism. These dangerous expri-
ments and threatening evils have been
swept aside and the country breathes
free once more.
By their ballots the people have de-
clared in favor of expanding and ex
tending their commerce, of keeping
the American flag aioat and maintain
ing an army and navy to uphold the
honor of the nation.
They have spoken for protection of
the American wage Garner, for a full
dinner pail for the working man, for
prosperity toall.
The result of this election means
continued good times, good wages for
the miner, the mechanic and the la
b0rer in every line of work; good
prices for the farmers products,
good business for the merchant and
of all the world in America
and American institutions.
By their ballots the American
rebuked the evils of democ-
lacy and ~populism and asserted the
of law and justice to reign in
the land where the people rule.
1t was a bitter blow to William J. |
an honorable and ambitious
but upon such a platform and in
such company he could expect nothing
else but ignominioua defeat. Under
the circumstances his election was
deemed dangerous to the country and
his retirement was considered neces-
for the nations welfare.
William Mckinley has been tried
and found worthy of all of the conf
denee which the people reposed in
him. He has proven himself a safe,
and sagacious leader,
equal to all emergencies and all occa-
He has served the country in
peace and in war and has done his
duty well and faithfully. He has
n good term and the people
declared that one good term de-
serves another.

: ABDUCTED FROM SCHOOL,


Elsie Pearl Jones Stolen by Two Men and a
Woman.
| Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
! Dover, Oct. 9.-Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Pleasanton,, who reside on farm near
Denney's Corner, four miles from Dove,
are mourning the loss of Elsie prar
Jones. aged 8 years, who was abducted
last Friday from the school at Denney's 3
Corner by two men and a woman.
Two years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Pieasaa.
| ton decided to adopt the girl, as all
their children were grown and away
from home. They took her from a Viii
mington orphanage. In time, sh I,
became greatly attached to them, call
ing them father" and mother. !" She
was sent to school, and was receiving
good education.
Eight weeks ago, woman, who
claimed to be the girls mother, visited
the Pleasantons' homoy and demanded
possession of the child. This was re-
fused, and the stranger left, saying she
would return in two weeks with
authority to take the girl away.
Last Friday, while Mr.. and Mrs.
Pleasanton were in Dover and the child
was at school. the woman, accompanied
by two men, went to Denney's Corner,
and requested an interview with the
girl, which Miss Moore, the teacher,
granted. When the child reached the
door and recognized the woman, she
screamed and started to retrace her
steps, but the woman seized her. Miss
Moore then went to the door, and, after
demonstrating with the woman, took
the girl from the strangers grasp The
woman declared that she was the
child's mother, and the girl clung to
the teacher, weeping Finally, after
giving her money and promising to
take her to the Pleasantons' home, the
woman and her companions persuaded
the child to go with them. Instead of
taking the girl home. the trio drove
to Dover, Cheswold or Smyrna, where,
it is supposed, they boarded train
bound for Wilmington. The abduction
was accomplished when the farmers of
the neighborhood were attending the
State fair.
The Wilmington police authorities
have been requested to search for the
child,

Washington, Oct s. s.--William Zobel,
an inmate of ST. Elizabeth's Asylum
for the Insane. fled from that institu-
tion several days ago while out on
parole. Shortly afterward the district
commissioners received a letter from
him, dated Olney, Md, in which he
stated that the surgeons would not per-
nit him to go free, that his only
chance to escape lay in flight and that
he hoped the commissioners would not
have him rearrested. At the asylum,
he said, he had left some tools and
about SIT, which he desired forwarded
to him by express to Baltimore, A
se"ond letter oamo the other day, dated
Wilmington, repeating the statements
made in the Olney communication and
assuring the commissioners that the
writer was not ''loolsing for trouble"
but only desired the chance to earn a
living. 1t has been agreed among the
authorities that unless Zobel returns
to the district he may as well lie free
and his supplies are to be ssnt him at
Wilmington,
