THE PASSING THRONG,

''The election returns" said Houston
politician, show that while apathy made
a light vote in Houston those who voted
aligned themselves almost to a man on ale
side Of one or the other of the old parties.
The vote for the social democratic popu-
/ list and prohibition tickets was an IN
/ Hnitesimal portion OF the whole vote, and |
in the county it was even smaller por-
ticn than in the city

MIR. f. R. SPOTS returned yesterday |
morning from St. Louis, where he went
a week ago on legal business. He was
in the Missouri metropolis on election
day and he says that. while ne found
many supporters Of Bryan, very few of
them had any real hope that their can
didate would be elected in the face OF the
terrible odds brought 10 bear against him
by Hanna and his campaign FUND.
Mr. SPOTS was struck by the remark
able weather conditions prevailing in st.
Louis. He went North expecting 10 eX-
perience all kinds OF disagreeahle
weather, and be- says that the tempera-
/ ture in st. Louis is about the same as
1t is here.
