THE BRYAN LEADERS.
The belief prevails at the Democratic ma
tional headquarters that the battle is lost
and that Mckinley has been reelected by
Il larger plurality than he received four
years ago. Senator Jones. near whom was
seated ex-Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, and
eX-Gov. HoGg, of Texas, was busy reading
bulletins from various states and COM
menting upon the figures. AS he read a
bulletin. he said This shows heavy
ing off for Mckinney" but when asked to
express his opinion as to The result he
said: II do rot know yet the returns are
too meager to make a prediction"
1--WE are going to win yet said ex-Gov;
Hogg. These figures are doctored and
| are the work of Wall street gamblers.
They do not represent The will of the
! people"
Il 40 gOt Know now lne result VIII

While conversing with the two ex-Tov-
| errors. Senator Jones was shown tele-
gram from New York stating that W. J.
Stone had conceded that state by over
100000. His only comment was:
well that may be right. but l am not
going to concede anything now"
The returns received at the headquar-
terS from Nebraska We're not very encour-
aging, and by midnight tho crowd at the
headquarters had thinned out so that

room.
