anywhere.
The count at the various polling
places was only partially completed
last night and many OF the outlying
precincts could not be heard from last
night. The clerks at the second ward
worked all night. finishing their task
about 10 o'clock this morning.
Last night the reports from the ma
tional election overshadowed every
thing else. Bulletins were received at
various places in the city and the
shouts OF the multitude rent the night
air. The Herald's bulletins on the
little plaza were "A complete success.
The crowd there was large and demon
strative and the fine pictures by artist
A V Barber afforded plenty of amuse-
ment
The Sheldon parlor. the use OF which
had been courteously rendered by Man
ager Fisher. was filed with ladies
while the bulletins were being received
and their enthusiasm over the result
was quite evident. The Sheldon bal
cony afforded an excellent place for
the exhibition OF the bulletins and four
sets were exhibited at one time.
Not later than . o'clock it became
evident that Bryan had been hope
lessly showed under and republicans
as well as many democratic supporters
OF Mckinley in this city. were congrat-
ulating one another on the result.
One remarked that it looked like a
land slide. The other replied yes. and
Il mountain was behind it.
Election night was not so quiet as
the day had been for there were sew
erai disturbances at various places
last night and some talk of bloodshed.
In the main. however. the town was
quiet and the police had little or moth
ing to do.
Comment on the result of the cleo
ton is rife this morning and Il told
you so" is heard on every side.
There are many of the Bryan dem
ocrats. however. who refuse to be re-
conciled and cry out their denuncia-
ton of the alleged scheme that replac-
ed Mckinley in the white house for an
other four years. They assert that
money was the balance OF power and
that it was used freely in every doubt

1t was Bryan that was defea ted and
not the party" said \. p. Coles. who
is one of the many Mckinley demo-
Gratis Il noticed yesterday one dem
ocrat after another come up to the
polls and cast their vote for the Nc
kinley electors. then vote the entire
state and county democrat ticket. This
means something and il can only mean
that the democrats are not willing to
support a man and a platform. no mat
ter how poisonous. just because il was
the product of a democratic convention
Yes. Bryan's day is done and that of
his followers but the democratic party
the party that was the pride of the
country until few years ago. is more
alive than ever. The next democratic
platform Will be n real democratic do
cument and will be headed by a man of
different type to that of Bryan
Major Fewel contends that there is
no democratic party now and he voted
the Mckinley ticket as it was the next
best thing to do. He contends that he
is a democrat but not n populist and
when democratic platform with n
true democrat at the head of it is put
in the field he will be found in the
ranks again.
Doc Albers. who recently denounced
the so-called democrats platform and
candidate on account of its populistic
principles. said this morning that he
was proud of the fact that he voted the
republican national ticket and would
continue to do so as long as n popuiist
was al the head of the democratic
party.

Gratis over the result yesterday. but a

they voted the republican ticket. ITS
nobody's business" was a frequent re-
ply when the question was asked by a
Herald reporter. but the fact that they
are delighted with the result is suf-
hcient evidence that they are not Bry-
an men.
II is generally understood that G r
Morehead. the boss of the local democ-
racy. voted for Mckinley but no con-
hrmation can be had. When seen bv n
reporter this morning he said: II
have nothing TO say about voting the
republican ticket and in fact IL is no
body's business. man has a right to
vote as he pleases. at least I always
do
