result of the presidential elec-
tion in the United States. The
Evening News says: "Anti-
Imperialism, the attempt to stir
up jealousy against England, the
championship of the Beers and
pandering to the Fenisns, all
availed Bryan nothing. His de-
feat is even more a defeat for
Croker and Tammany, and that
is the happiest feature. It real
ly looks as though Americans
are tired of the gang of corrupt
Irish-Americans who haye de-
graded American politics so
long"
The Star says: "Had Bryan
kept to the issues of anti-imperi-
alism, anti-trusts and social re-
form, he might conceivablY have
won. Sound money proved his
undoing. He has been 'cruclfied
on q cross of gold, but it has
been very much of a voluntary
crucifixion. The most remark
able feature is the personal de-
feat of Boss Croker.
The Times, in a special edi-
ton, says: "McKinley's victory
is no ordinary party triumph.
1t is a victory of common hon.
esty, sound sense and sober, en-
lightened political judgment"
"Free silver and it's attendant
heresies are the real matters
upon which the electors have
given judgment"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"The result is most welcome
from every point of view. In
Mckinley and Roosevelt Great
Britain has just the sort of
friends we want. Not ELUSIVE
ranters, who sicken every body
by their excessive pretense of
cousinly unity, but quiet benev-
olent neutrals. AS a business ma
ton, the final defeat of unsound
money is most acceptable to us.
AS believers in pure and honest
administration, we rejoice at the
defeat Of Tammany. AS a mem
Der of the community of nations
and feeling peculiarly akin to the
United States, Great Britain is
glad to acclaim the defeat of a
man whose tenure of Office
would have meant anarchial ten
denotes of all kinds"
The Globe, baslng Its com.
ments on the idea that 'imperi
alism" was the main point al
issue, says: 'Henceforth the
United States will take it's place
as world power. To the whole
world the r. 3ult of the election
is of supreme Importance. and
fraught with momeutous conse
quences to all nations. In thi:
country it will be hailed with un
altered satisfaction. We gladly
welcome the entry of the youns
giant of the west into the coun
cils of the world.

There is no reason to doubt Mr.
