BRYAN ELECTION COMMENT
COCkreII's Defeat Aimed at Re-

braska Man.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20-Comment.
ing on election results Mr.. Bryan
says:
THE defeat OF Senator Cockrell is
an excellent illustration OF the man
ner in which the innocent are made
TO suffer with the guilty in this cam
paign. On every question that has
come before the senate during his
services be has been the champion Of
the people. He has the confidence Of
all Democrats, and the respect OF
Republicans everywhere.
The Democratic party In Missouri
was uuyielding in its devotion to
Democratic principles, and it loved
Cockrell, and yet so great was the
apathy caused by the partv's action
at St. Louis, and so deel vas the
indignation felt by the ra;.k and file
OF the party that Senator Co"er"l'
received the shaft thatwas aimed al
the reorgsniz'rs.
II the Missouri Democrats, who
Il .lected 60 vote; had thought ~
Senator in danger, they would have
been present at the polls, hut they
did not carry the process of reason
Ing far enough to estimate the full
effect OF their course.
Folk OF Missouri had lead enough
to escape, but his majority is woe
fully short OF what it should have
been, and he, too, would have suffer
cd defeat, but for thenumber OF votes
which he drew from the Republican
party"
