THE MURDER BELT.

In southern Maine and the adjoining
portions of New Hampshire there is
strip of country which has been called the

crimes committed there in the last ten

and reformer. Some things about this

STATEMENT BY HANNA.
Declares That the Result of the Election
Is More Than Satisfactory.

Declares That the Result of the Election
Is More Than Satisfactory.
Senator Hanna at Cleveland made
the following statement regarding the
result of the election:
THE result Is more than satisfac-
tory. 1t expresses continued conf
dence in the administration Of the
party, which is certainly gratifying to
all Republicans and friends of this adj
ministration. 1t assures the continu-
ance Of present prosperous conditions.
1t is triumph of the principles of
good government over the heresies of
Organism, which is the product of
combination of elements of irresponsi-
bility, instability and incompetency.
1t strengthens the very foundation of
the government. 1t Is a rebuke of the
demagogy Of the campaign Of the OPP
position. and is clear, cool diagnosis
of situation which was for a time
clouded by their methods of evasion
and Misrepresentation. Above all, it
gives to every American absolute con-
people, and their readiness and ability
to protect their own interests by de-
Gliding Alright those great questions
which, Of necessity, come UP in a gov
eminent by the people. While in the
main our predictions have been full
filed, | may say that in many cases
our expectations have been exceeded.

The Omaha Bee prints a table on the
national ticket, giving complete returns
from IS counties, and on 10 other coun-
ties with one precinct missing from each,
out of a total of 80 counties. which gives
Mckinley 9O,22S. Bryan S5,l96. The same
counties in 1886 gave Mckinley S5,4T6,
Bryan 96,5i7 This is a net gain for Nc
kinley of 1883. Bryan's plurality in
1886 was 1880. With this ratio of in
crease throughout the missing counties
Mckinley will have a plurality of about
5000 in the state, says the Bee, which
is Republican paper. There were H.
600 to $1,000 more votes polled in the state
than in 1876, and the fusionists claim
these are mostly from the cities and
towns, which have already been heard
from, and that,the counties yet unreport-
ed will give Bryan a small plurality in
the state. The state ticket Is running
chose to the vote on president. and it
may require the official count to decide
on governor and other state offices. Both
sides claim four out of the six congress-
men. The legislative is closer than any
other ticket. The Douglas county dele
cation will be split about in half be-
tween fusionists and Republicans. The
latest returns indicate that neither side
will have more than five or six majority
on joint ballot.

MAJORITY AGAINST QUAY.
Legislature of Pennsylvania Said to be
Against the Ex-senator.

Harrisburg (Pa.) dispatch: 1t Is fig
ured here by those who have kept close
watch of the contest for the control OF
the next Legislature that the two branches
will line up as follows: House of Rep
resentatives-Quay Republicans, 1o6; anti
Quay Republicans and fUsionists, SO;
Democrats, 49, Total, 2W. According TO
these figures the Quay Republicans have
only three votes above the lG necessary
to organize the house.
Senate-Quay Republicans, 25; anti-Quay
Republicans IL; Democrats, -. Total 50.
This would make the senate tie as
between Quay and anti-Quay, and cree
ates an interesting situation as regards
the organization of the body and the dis
position of what may consider to be parti-
san legislation and gubernatortal appoint
ments.
On joint ballot, according to these fig
ures Mr.. Quay, IL he Is candidate for
United States senator, will have lSl
votes three more than the number nee
essary to a choice. Mr.. Quay has de-
clared he will be a candidate, and his
friends say he will stick to his determi-
nation. The legislature ballots for SEN
ator Jan. Is.
The leaders of the Business Mems
League, which organization has handled
the fight against Mr.. Quay in many of
the counties for several years. assert that
they have enough votes to prevent Mr..
Ouay's reelection. They further de-
clare that Mr.. Quay's friends cannot or
ganize either branch Of the legislature.

EXPLAINING THE RESULT.
Leading Democrats Offer Explanations
Tor the Defeat.
j. G.. Johuson's Opinion.

Chicago telegram: Manager Johnson
of the Democratic national committee
said:
HAD Bryan run on gold platform the
result would have been the same The
bankers and the big financial men of
the country who defeated us this year
would have regarded Mckinley as the
safer man for them in any case. Silver
was scarcely an issue this year"
Asked il 1t was not so that he, Senator
Jones, Richard Croker, Senator German,
and others favored a mere reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform at Kansas City
and no specific Endorsement of free silver
he said: .....
Yes, we thought that would be the
best course to follow. But then there
are two sides to that question. Had we
followed that course the Democrats of
the west who favor free coinage of sill
That's what you get for abandoning
silver They would have said that Just
as surely as the Democrats of the east
now say. See what you get for sticking
to silver
1.-THE moneyed interests of the country
preferred Mckinley to Bryan, that is all
there was to ii. No, certainly do not
not regard 1t as a mistake to have nom
mated Bryan. He was the only man
under whom we had show. 1t Is early
now to talk of a reorganization of the
party. That is a question for the fu-
ture. Wait until the smoke OF this battle
clears away"

Croker Blames Silver.

Croker said today at the Democratic
club that the result of the election
was great disappointment to him.
Il sincerely believed" he said, that
Bryan would be elected. The election
is over and he has been defeated.
There is no use now denying the fact
that 16 to l had a good deal to do
with the big vote against Bryan in
this state. What the causes were for
his defeat in the west cannot be ex-
planned by me.
The money scare frightened many
in New York. Still, think the dem
ocrats of Greater New York did we'll
under the circumstances. The regular
organization in this county gave Mr.
Bryan nearly $4,000 more votes than
he got in 1896. Mckinley polled 5000
less votes in the county than he did
four years ago"

The butcher and his customer often
indulge in joint debate.
David S. Sage and wife of Lebanon,
H., were killed in storm four years
ago. In a suit for settlement of the
estate of $4,000 the question arose
which had died first. If Sage, then
his wife's relatives would be entitled
to her award, consisting of dover
and homestead. If his wife died first.
then her relatives would be entitled
TO nothing. There was no way of
proving which had died first. and the
court held that since woman is weak

died first.

In the general movement toward re-
publican success in Congress Illinois
has been strangely remiss. The state
shows positive loss of two republican
seats. Congressman Lorimer of Chi
cago and Rodenberg at East st. Louis
failed of election, so that the state
shows reduction of two in its repub-
lican congressional strength. Owing
to factional differences at st. Louis
there is republican loss of one seat
from Missouri, but these two states are
the only exceptions to the uniform re-
publican success
