to be entirely lost in the glory ca of
the victory of bribery But the peo.

SO soon. They will get what thew

IRON the New York Journal:
beyond doubt Mr.. Bryan would
have been triumpnantly elected but
for two things. The first was the in
trusiOn of the silver issue. Free sill
yer was dead, and SO unpopular that
even it's corpse was enough to drag
any man down to defeat. The sec.

entirely from the Philippines. That
was not in accord with the spirit of

From the New York Herald:
The country is to be congratulated
on the vitality important fact that
there is to be henceforth no question
as to the stability OF the standard on
which it's mighty mercantile, indus
trial and commercial transactions are
based and by which the wages of
labor are adjusted. After thirty
years of disturbance and >.oubt that
fact is settled. Not less hearty are
our congratulations to the great dem.
ocratic party on the overthrow of the
faction which four and half years
stole it's standards under which to
fight for purposes Numerically op-
posed to true democratic principles.
From the New York World:
Doubtless the decisive idea in the
minds of tens of thousands of voters
who supported Mckinley unwillingly
was to doubly safeguard the currency,
the life blood of industry, and to pro-
tect prosperity from even the menace
of danger. They would rather bear
the ills we have than to fly to others
tnat we know not of.

juicy, and it has a flavor quite SINH.

Competition in Shpbui!ding.
The monopoly of constructing war.
ships of the largest type, hetherto
enjoyed by three concerns in this
country, promises to be invaded by
four or five firms which have en-
pressed great desire to make pro-
posals for the construction of the
vessels, bids for which will be opened
on Dec. 6.
The firms that have always bid
upon this work are the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco. the Cramp
Building and Dry Dock Company of
Philadelphia, and the Newport News
Shipbuilding company. 1t now APP
pears that these firms will have as
rivals the Fore River Shipbuilding
company of Weymouth, Mass;
Townsend & Downey of New York,
the New York Shipbuilding company
of New York city, the Trigg Engine
and Shipbuilding company of Rich
mond, Va, and the Risdon Iron Works |
of San Francisco.
The appearance of the Ri,don firm
in the list of competitors is some
thing of surprise. It will make it
interesting for the Union Iron Works
which has had no competitors in the |
race for naval contracts covering
large ships on the Pacific coast.

In early life she gave her heart to the
Saviour, uniting with the Nj. Z. Church
at Providence. She was devoted to
her church, faithful and consistent in
her profession Of faith, and charitable

III Tie Voters IF .lnderSon GDnniv:
The impression has gone out into the
County, that ! lad declined to make
the second race for Clerk of Court. On
the day after the election, consulted
some Of my friends on the subject Of
my withdrawal, but did not say posi-
lively that would do so. After nluture
dcliberatiOn, have concluded that it
would be unmanly in me, and an in
justice to the friends who supported
me in. the first race, to decline to run
again. | believe that my opponent
wants fair expression of the people,
and would not want the office without
q decided vote OH this question. AS to
myself, mad rather go down to defeat
with honor, than to show the wlite
feather at this juncturc. / have made
the race on principle, and whatever the
verdict OF the people may be it will be
satisfactory to me.
Very Respectfully,
