2s2, given MI. Mckinley in 1900
The result OF Tuesdays oalloting va
astounding even to the most sangulns
Of the Republican managers. Conn
dent as they were OF success, trey
were not prepared for the astonishing
fgu1es which followed the closing o.
the po!is, bringing into the Repuoii'
can column nos only all OF those
States they had claimed as safe foi
their candidates, but with the posi-.
BILE exca option OF Maryland, every State
cl3sse6 as doubtful.

AS a dramatic climax to tie sensa-
tt; nal majorjties given him, came
President RooseyelS's formal an
nouncenent that be would not be
candidate fer reelection, lending tee
only exciting aspect to an elecolon
night otherwise so cne,s ,sldeo thao IL
was impossible for even the vlctors 10
attain that degree Of enthusiasm that
usually marks the occasion. Late ID
the night came an announcement
from Melvin G.. Palliser, manager o.
the cam npaign for Thomas E. Watson
the candidate Of the Peoples pa "
that as q result Of the Overwhelming
Democratic defeat steps would oe
taken to form new party. 10 sniS
end, according to the announcement
given out, Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. WATSON
ard VIM. Randolph Hearst would ho!o
a conference in New York IN about
weeks time.
The pericd OF suspense that folio"
ed the closing Of the polls WAS not pro-
Ionqed. In no election in recent years
has the result been definitely known
50 soon. hardly had the sun gone
down when the results in New YORK
began to appear. By O'Clock it was
evident that the great Empire state
had given the r publican candidates
a msiority beyond the predictions o!
the party managers. So convincing
was the story OF the bulletins that at
80 August Belmont at Democratic
headquarters conceded RooseVelss
election by an overwhelming malofl'
ty. an half hour later the Democratic
leaders WHO had managed the cam
paipn freely admitted that the Repuo.
li,ans had carried every doubtful
State. There was no dlsl loSlJlon 70
hope against hope. AS State a1eer
State s. Mt in it's Republican majority
and the wires told the tale OF the oal-
lots. bringing even from the common
wealths upon which they bad biseo
their figures OF Democratic success re-
norts OF unprecedented & republican ma,
critics. they frankly conceded their de-
feat and offered no explanation. Soon
after MI. Belmont's admission Judge
Parker acknowlec ged the situation oy
telecraphing President Roosevelt his
congratulations.
The perfect weather conditions
which prevailed over practically the
entire eourtry, brought out vote
which experienced politicians pre1lct
will be a record breaker aud in tnlS
increase Of ballots the Republicans
gained more than their share.
