WHEELER ON THE ELECTION
Had Warned Party Leaders and Knew
Defeat Was Inevitable.


DECATUR, Ala, Nov. 9.-In an in
terview General Wheeler made the fol-
lowing statement relative to the result
of the election: 4
at was only what l more than ex-
pected; in fact, almost knew. / did not
come up to Decatur to hear any of the
returns Tuesday night. ] do not like to
go to funerals, and felt that the Dem
ocratic party's funeral was being held.
I felt it and knew that Mckinley would
be overwhelmingly reelected. I could
have told our people so six months ago,
but what would have been the use.
When l received the telegram calling
me to the Eighth district, | told my
family that I felt like I had received
orders to go to the rescue of sinking
ship, but that / must obey the call of
my party, which had honored me with
ten terms in congress and must go
aboard the old ship and go down with
her. l told our party leaders IN 1898
that if one word was inserted in our
platform against the honor of our coun-
try's flag it would result in the Demo
cratic partys utter humiliation at the
polls was opposed by Bailey of Texas
and he prevailed.
Continuing in this strain, the general
said:
"There are two things the American
people reverence; first, is their God, and
second, is their flag. A word against
either will bring down their condemna-
ton. There never was president de-
feated for reelection who had conduct
ed a successful war. Wars are popular
in this country and are growing more SO
with the masses, and any party that OPP
poses a successful war president will
meet with defeat"

Republicans Claim Yerkes Was De-
feated by Fraud.
LOUISVILLE, Nov 8. - Democratic
and Republican headquarters here are
practically deserted, only clerk or two
being left in each to receive any belated
returns that may come in. Those Of the
party leaders still in the city refuse to
alter their claims, the Democrats plac-
ing Beckham's plurality close to 5000
and the Republicans pinning their faith
on the official count which began in
each county today.
This official count, the Republicans
assert, will bring to the front hundreds
of ballots not yet reported. The unre-
ported vote of Casey county, which is
practically conceded to the Republi-
cans, and one missing precinct in Met
calfe county, claimed by the Republ-
cans by 53 plurality, are expected by
headquarters clerks at almost any mo-
ment, but they can have no effect on
the result as the the figures now stand.
Briefly the Democrats say their cam
didate for governor stands elected. The
Republicans say if their candidate,
Yerkes, is beaten, it was done by unfair
means

Mr.. BRYAN ON THE RESULT
He Is Surprised at the Magnitude of

ne IS surprised at the Magnitude OF
the Republican Victory.
LINCOLN, Neb Nov. civilian ].
Bryan has given out the following state
ment concerning the election:
"The result was surprise to me and
the magnitude Of the Republican VIC
tory was surprise to our opponents as
we'll as to those who voted our ticket.
1t is impossible to analyze the returns
until they are more complete, but speak
ing generally we seem TO have gained
in the large cities and to have lost in
the smaller cities and in the country.
"The Republicans were able to secure
tickets or passes for all their voters who
were away from home and this gave
them considerable advantage. We have
no way of knowing at this time how
much money was spent in the purchase
of votes and in colinization.
"But while these would account for
some of the Republican gains, they
could not account for the widespread in
crease in the Republican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the Republi-
cans.
"They compared present conditions

this argument had weight with those
who did not stop to consider the reasons
for the change. 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
a doctrine of self government in the
Philippines must react upon us in this
country. We made an honest fight
upon an honest platform, and, having
done our duty as we saw it, we have
nothing to regret.
eve were defeated, but are not dis
couraged. The fight must go on. am
sure that Republican policies will be re-
pudiated by the people when the ten
dency of these policies are fully under
stood. The contest between plutocracy
and Democracy cannot end until one or
the other Is completely triumphant.
Concerning himself, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 have come out of the campaign
with perfect health and clear con-
science. I did my utmost to bring sue
cess to the principles for which I stood.
Mr.. Stevenson did all that he could;
Senator Jones and the members of the
Democratic, Populist, Silver Republican
and anti-imperialist committees did all
they could. Mr.. Hearst and his associ-
ates in the club organization put forth
their best efforts +"

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 9. = The
continued critical illness of Governor
elect Sanford is exciting the tenderest
sympathy and the question of who would
succeed him in case of his death, at this

throughout the state. Lawyers differ
widely as to this. Some contend that
Governor johnson would hold over for
two years longer. Other insist that the
