Hon. William ] Bryan has made the
following statement in regard to the
election:
1.-The result was surprise to me,
and the magnitude of the Republican
victory was a surprise to our opponents
as well as to these who voted our tick
OF. 1t Is impossible to analyze the re-
turns until they ars more complete,
but, speaking generally, we seemed to
have gained in the large cities and to
have lost in the smaller cities and the
country. The Republicans were able
to secure tickets or passes for all of
their voters who were away from home,
and this afforded them considerable
advantage.
"We have no way of knowing at this
time how much money was spent in
the purchase Of votes and in colonial
ton. But, while these would account
for some of the repu blican gains, they
could not account for widepread in
crease in the Rep ublican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the republi-
cans. They compared conditions with
the panic times of '93 to '96, and this
argument had weight with those who
did not stop to consider the reasons
for the change.
1.-The appeal Stand by the President
while the war is on had a great deal
of influence among those who did not
realize that war against q doctrine of
of self-government in the Philippines
must react upon us in this country.
I'VE made an honest fight on an
honest platform, and we have done our
duty as we saw it. We have nothing
to regret. We are defeated but not
discouraged. The fight must 60 on. !
am sure that the republican policies
will be repudiated by the people when
the tendency of those policies are fully
understood. The contest between
plutocracy and Democracy cannot end
until one or the other is completely
triumphant"
In answer to inquiries concerning
himself he said:
Il have come out of the compaign
with perfect health and a clear consci.
ence. did my most to bring success
to the principles for which stood. Mr..
Stevenson did all that be could; Sena
tor Jones and the members of the
Democratic. Populist, Silver Republic
can, and anti-imperialists committees
did all they could. Mr.. Hearst and
his associates In the club organization
put forth their best efforts. Our news
papers, our campaign speakers and
our local organizations all did theil
part. l have no fault to find and nc
reproaches.
II expect to take an active interest
in politics as long as live. 1 believe
it to be the duty of the citizen to do SO
and in addition to my interest as q
citizen, feel that il will require a life
time of work to repay the political
friends who have done so much for me-
IL shall not be Senatorial candidate
before the Legislature, which have beer
elected. Senator Allen deserves the
Senatorship which goes to the popu
lists, Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. w. Fl.
Thompson are avOwed candidates for
the Democratic Senatorship. They
both deserve well of the party, and
am too grateful them for past support
to stand in their way, even if l desired
a seat in the Senate"

The Honest Money League and the

Mckinley. Some go 30 far as to claim
the lob for Grover. 1t will be sad

quality of the fuel supplied to her.

and it won't burn" well, missus."
was the reply. "coal is now at famine
prices, and we have to be satisfied
with what we can get. I gave 22s
a ton for that coal myself" Then
you've been robbed" retorted the

the price," II didn't know your hus-

cry Office In the village has new in
cumbent. The changes include the
chief of police and his men, the IRE
marshal and the members of his de-
partment, the street commissioner,
sewer inspector, water inspector, the
park police force, the paving inspec-
tor, the commissioner Of public works,
and the dog catcher. Never in the his
tory Of the suburb has there been such
a sweeping change. At the last meet
nicipal force marched to the town hall
In body and resigned. He said he
WIS overworked. The resignation
CT me as surprise, but was accepted.
Thomas Ketchum comprised the Of
ficials who resigned and Isaac Curtis
was elected to fill all the positions
Ketchum vacated. Ketchum was orig
inally appointed chief Of police and
constituted the entire police force.
Then he was appointed chief OF the
fire department, which he also COM
posed. When there was fire he
turned in an alarm as policeman
and ran to assume his position as the
fire department. A few months later
the Office of sewer inspector and the
other inspectorships were created and
again Ketchum was honored with the
appointments. And so on down the
list. But trouble was brewing. The
position OF dog catcher was created
and the same Thomas Ketchum gained
new official honors. Soon murmurings
of discomfort were heard from the
force. The chief of the fire depart
ment said he could not care for fire
when there was dog to catch. The
chief Of police said the same. The
climax came when the dog catcher
himself swore that he could not and
would not act as the police depart
ment, the fire department and the in
spector Of everything when he had his
official duties to perform. Then he all
resigned in a body. Isaac Curtis was
sworn in as the new chief Of police.
He spent the first day taking the oath
of the various positions in the depart
ment. The next day he assumed the
duties of the different inspectorships.
To-day he will be inaugurated dog
catcher and the list will be complete.
The village Is considering the sug-
gestion of creating several new official
positions and Curtiss is being favor
ably mentioned as the most likely can
didate.

While he lay In bed sleeping early

body was turning to stone and that
some horrible thing was clutching at
his throat, says the New York Press.
In agony he awoke and rolled out Of
bed to the floor, screaming for help.
Part of his dream was true. He is in
Gouverneur hospital, and the physi-
clans there say that his body is be-
coming ossifled. His screams when
he rolled out Of bed were heard by
persons in the street, and they tried
to get into the house. The door Of
the tenement house was locked and
John Muldoon climbed up the coping
on the front Of the building to Cock
lasski's rooms on the second floor. He
could not move either arm or foot.
