II venture to say that the election is
settled by those who do not attend pub
lie meetings or read opposition news
papers. The great mass of the Rnpubii-
can constituency is misled by the press,
and it seeks no other source of informu-
ton"
Cleveland, Nov S.-Speaker Henderson
of the national house of representatives
was entertained at dinner at the Union
club by about 200 prominent RCpubli.
cans of Cleveland on the evening of Oct.
81, when he delivered a campaign speech
here. He greatly surprised some OF
his hosts during the talk by telling them
that Senator Hanna's campaign of tn.
northwest had SO stirred up that sec
tion of the country that the senator was
being talked about there as a presidential
possibility four years hence.
iivnntor Hanna war aal<.d yost.r.'ay
whether he had heard of any such scnti-
Hltul III tue HOIlnWfSt. 'S, ne an
swered II have heard rumols to that
effect. At some of the meetings | ad-
dressed in the northwest cries were raised
about the next president which | could
not help hearing. There has been some
talk of the chara ter you mention. But
don't want to be the next pre- sidpnt after
Mr. Mckinley. I have had enough OF
politics and public life to suit any one"
Cleveland, Nov. S.-Senator Hanna last
evering gave the following statement on
the result of the election: '''rhe result
is more than satisfactory. II expresses
a continued confidence in the adminisra-
ton OF the party. II assures the con
tinuance of present prosperous conditions
1t is a triumph Of the principles of go I'd
government over the heresies Of Bryan
ism, which is the product of a comb!na-
ton of elements of irresponsbilty and
inrompctcnCy. II strengthens the very
foundations of the government. 1t is
a rcbuke of the demasnguary Of the cam
paign Of the opposition, and clear cool
diagnosis of a situa ton which was for
q time Cloudcd by their methods of mis-.
represe ntation. Above all it gives to
every American absolute confidence in
the good judgment of the people"
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s. With the excep-
ton of drive in the early evening, Mr..
Bryan remained in his study during yes
terday, rising late in the morning and 70.
firing early at night. He said he had
no statement Of any kind to make at
~, ; &c Nfr ,'s. ,,,t,
remain in Lincoln until he is thoroughly
rested. To newspaper correspondents
he asked to be excused from outlining
his future action.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. S.-Senator
Pettigrew. speaking Of his defeat at his
nome. predicted the formation of a now
party. He says it will be made up of
persons discontented with the existing
elements in politics. He says he believes
the movement will defeat the Republican,
party in 1904.
London. Nov. S.-Most OF the morning
papers, in their comments upon the
American election, take the line followed
by The Daily News, which says: The
swing of the pendulum has ceased in the
tnited States as il has here. The Re
pupliCanS are as unshakabe as the con-
servatives arr in the United Kingdom
The elections marx the end of Organism
and an approval of the policy of cx-
pansiOn. There is no rea son to doubt
Mr. Eryan's honesty. No man with a
bad private character could face the un-
exampied publicity Of Il presidential
election. He is strai forward and
sincere, but he is the victim of Il hOpa-
less infatuation. and practical men felt
no confidence i'm him. Th" adho sion Of
rammany Hall is not Mr.. Riyan's fault,
but his misfortune.
Berlin, Nov. S.-German government
circles are all delighted at President Nc
I[inley's re election. The United States
Embassy received a number Of cvprcs-
,ions to that effect. Genera lily speaking,
the Germnn press and public took much
greater interest in the American Cl"c-
ton than heretofore. Every body is dis
,ussing the result.
Vienna, Nov. S.--'rhr Austrian press is
