AS BRYAN SEES IT.
Democratic Candidate Thinks the Par
ty Made Good Fight.


William Jennings Bryan on yester-
Jay gave out the following statement
rom Lincoln, Nebraska:
THE election has gone against US by
a decisive majority. The returns are
not all in and it is impossible, at the
present time, to analyZe them or to
say what causes contributed most to
the Republican victory.
I'VE made our fight upon platform
which embodied what we believed to
Je good for the American people, but
it is for the people themselves to de-
eide what laws they desire and what
methods of government they prefer.
nave faith that the publicity which we
asked for will yet commend itself to
the American people, that the election
If senators by the people will be Sc
cured; that the iniquities Of the trusts
will arouse an opposition that Will re-
suit in the elimination of the princi-
Die of private monopoly. I am conf
dent that the people will see the neces-
sity for the labor legislation, and the
tariff reduction which our platform
demanded. 1 am confident, too, that
the educational work done In this cam
laign will result in securing greater
protection to bank depositors.
THE above are the most prominent
reforms for which we labored and l
believe that these reforms Will yet
come, together with more effective reg
ulation of railroads and independence
Of the Filipinos.
II desire to commend the work Of
our national committee. I am entirely
satisfied with Mr.. Mack as the chair
man and with the members Of the
committee. l do not see how they
could have done more than they did,
and as for myself, put forth every et-
fort in my power to secure victory for
our cause. The nomination came from
the hands of the voters. l have obeyed
their command and have led as best l
could. Words will not express my
gratitude for the willingness of the
Democrats during the past twelve
years. Neither am able to adequate
ly express my appreciation for the kind
words which have been spoken since
the election. If could regard the de-
feat as purely a personal one l would
consider it a blessing rather than a
misfortune, for l am relieved or the
burdens and responsibilities of an Of
flee that is attractive only In propor-
ton as it gives an opportunity to rem
der larger public service. But L shall
serve as willingly in private capacity
as in d public one. God does not re-
uuire great things of us; He only re-
uuires that we improve the opportunl-
ties that are presented and / shall be
glad to improve the opportunities for
service presented by private life.
In this hour of national defeat |
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my neighbors, by the
citizens of Lincoln and by the people
CT the state of Nebraska. With a
Democratic governor and Democratic
legislature we shall be able to put into
practice so much of the Denver plat
form as relates to state legislation and
trust our state will set an example
that will be an influence for good IN
the nation"

TAFT'S PLURALITY GROWS.
Further Returns Make Republican Vic
tory More Overwhelming.

New York, Nov. 5.-The member
ship of the electoral college winch
wlu choose the next presluent OF the
united states renamed in dispute
" men the omcial counters in Maryland
abandoned their task for the night
according to the best information op-
talnable, the proportionate NUMBERS OF
nepupncan and Democratic electors
will be determined by a division OF
u4aryIand elgnt votes. Half OF the
city Of Baltimore and two of the tWen-
ly-tnree counties outside or that city
are still to be counted, but there Is a
strong indication that the state vote
will be spit. In any event the margin
Of victory will be so small that the
state was claimed tonight by the lead
ers of both parties. In 1904 Maryland
elected one Republican and seven
democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
a plurality of 300, with the prospects
that the few final districts will double
Or triple these hgures.
COnceding Missouri to Taft and leav-
ing Maryland to be split between him
and Bryan, the figures show 319 Re
publican electors assured, and l5b
democratic.
Latest congressional returns Intricate
that the next house will be composed
of PIG Republicans and IT'S Democrats,
a majority for the Republicans OF Al.
The returns for the Socialist and
Prohibition parties are still far from
complete, but indicate that the hopes
# the Socialists have not been real
lied and that the Prohibitionists In
certain sections where gains have been
expected have been disappointed. The
figures for the independence party
vote are also insufficient to give an
accurate idea of what the party ac-
cnmnliShed.

and during the last few weeks Of the
could be used in bringing about his
defeat
while l was in doubt as to Mr..
Bryan's election I had strong hopes
that the Democrats would carry the
house of representatives, and appar-
emily the returns show that If Penn
sylvania, New York and eastern states
| had given the same proportionate In
crease in Democratic members Of con-
gress the result would have been In
our favor After all the people have
spoken and for four years the admin
!, istration Is committed to the hands OF
the Republican party.
THE Democratic party Is not dead
nor even badly crippled l think that
the party is stronger today than at
any time since 1892. AS to what the
Democrats will do in congress, we will
stand for Democratic principles and
make a fight for them. I for one do
not believe in a submissive minority.
LAS to what the Republican admins
tration will do during the next four
years, / am of the opinion that less
attention will be paid the negro in pol
itics, and no doubt an effort will be
made to split the solid south. I have
no fears along this line. Our people
have been through the fire and they
know what the result will certainly
| be. l am inclined to think that Mr..
Taft will pay more attention to the
business interests of the country than
| has Mr.. Roosevelt"

MR.. FINLEY is HOPEFUL
lumbia State, Thursday:

COlunDld state, lHuGSudy.
Congressman d. f. Finley, dean of
the South Carolina congressional dele
cation, was in the city yesterday en-
route to Newberry to attend the A. R.
+. synod. Mr. Finley Is vice chair
man Of the Democratic congressional
committee and has been in Washing
ton in charge of committee headquar-
tcrS. He has been closely connected
is watching the returns closely to see
the success Of the Democratic fight for
places in congress.
Mr. Finley had hoped To see a DEM
ocratic majority in the house Of repre-
spntatives. In reviewing the situation,
he said last night:
THE defeat Of Mr.. Bryan Is great
disappointment to the party generally,
and particularly to those directly con-
nected with the campaign. When in
Washington during the month of Oc-
tober, in charge Of the congressional
committee headquarters, as vice chair
man. had good opportunities to OBJ
serve the drift of political sentiment
and found that the principal argument
used against Mr. Bryan among busi-
ness men was the guarantee bank de-
pOsit proposition.
Il am satisfied the country did not
care to or did not have the time to
consider this proposition favorably.
After all. the fight was one based on
prejudice. twelve years old. While the
Democrats put up a splendid fight and
in a majority of the states was more
united than at any time since 1892, the
trusts and great corporations were
soidy opposed to Mr.. Bryan's election
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-11-06

been given to another candidate, but
that is conjectural. The fact remains
that the Democrats have met with the
usual fate of those who back a horse
that has often been run and has never
won. The nomination of Mr.. Bryan
for a third time was an idiotic proceed
ure; behind it was the passionate un-
reason of a class of politicians without
capacity for leadership or understand
ing of craftsmanship. The thinking
Democrats Of the country deliberately
concluded that the rehabilitation OF
the Democratic party would be hope
less until the Bryan mania could
spend itself, and so they fell in with
the Denver programme and followed
Mack, Haskell, Woodson and the rest
of their crew to inevitable disaster
Whether or not the people who believe
in the real principles Of Democracy
will be allowed to direct the partys
activities in the future remains to be
seen.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Bryan Is
an able and excellent man, is gentle
nan of high moral ideals and prac-
tice, and that he has conferred per-
manent benefit upon the republic by
impressing upon the people that right
oousneSs has a place in politics: but

keep for the purpose, and in giving a
sketch of Mr.. Schorb's life In connec-
ton with his death, 1t is necessary to
repeat some Of the facts stated in con-
nection with few others obtained
from the same source; but not pre-
viously printed.
Mr.. John R. Schorb was born in the
Grand Duchy Of Baden, Germany, on
October "a, 1918, and 'came to the
United States in 1884. He first took up
his residence in Buffalo, N. Y, but af-
ter two years went to Michigan City
Indiana. How he got to Canton, Ohio
Is not stated In the notes; but from
Canton, Ohio, he walked the entire dis
tance to Michigan City, over four hun
dred miles, in the snow" Michigan
City, Is across the lake from Chicago
Illinois, and Chicago, at that time
was no larger than the town Of York
Vile Is now" MAY 4, 1881. After
two years in Michigan City, Mr.. Schorb
returned to Buffalo, and in 1910, cast
his first presidential vote for William
Henry Harrison, the Whig candidate
Friends in Buffalo furnished the means
and he prepared himself for Hamilton

WE have heard of some complaint,
not from any Of the subscribers, by the
way, of the thousands of good dollars
the people of South Carolina have sent
out of the state with no return" From
the number Of times We have heard
this we are inclined to think the idea
s general But The Enquirer does not
see it that way. We do not remember
TO have urged anybody to contribute.
We have merely put ourselves in the
position of being willing to forward
such money as might be contributed,
eaving it to Democrats to exercise the
pption of contributing as they might
see proper. But still, it is not fair to
;ay that the contribution has been lost.
The man who is really interested in ac-
complishing a certain purpose must
Oend his efforts in that direction. That
these contributions have helped the
cause We do not doubt In fact, we
feel sure that Mr.. Bryan made bet
,er show with the contributions than
ne would have made without them, and
while the Democratic party has failed
to win, there is not much question Of
the fact that it has made good fight,
and neither is there any question of
The fact that it has exercised a very
considerable influence on the future
golicy of the administration that will
control the government during the
next four years. The ten thousand or
more dollars that were contributed by
south Carolina, speak more eloquently
and more forcibly than do even the
votes that were cast for this state.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET,

The developments in the speculative
market yesterday were summarized In
an Associated Press dispatch from
New York last night as follows:
The cotton market showed a further
reactionary tendency today, closing
steady at a net decline of to points.
Sales were estimated at 225,000 bales.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to an advance or
points and after some irregularity sold
; to points net higher as a result of
better cables than due, covering, and
some fresh buying promoted by opti-
mistic reports concerning the prospects
for a settlement Of Manchester labor
troubles within the next week. Offer
ings increased at the advance and dur
ing the afternoon the market worked of
under realizing and local selling for a
turn based to some extent on the talk
CT a less active spot demand from do
mestic mills and exporters. The mar
ket closed within a point or two OF the
lowest. Weather reports were consid.
cred favorable. Receipts were large
and the into sight movement for the
week is expected to establish another
high record.
Receipts at the ports today 62,632
bales against 64,SS9 last week and A.
13O last year For the week 425,OOO
bales against 447,652 last week and
266,777 last year. Today's receipts at
New Orleans 16,367 bales against 81
1926 last year, and at Houston 1888
bales against 1854 last year.

.ESTRAY STOCK.

The estray stock problem is still a
vexing one in many parts Of the coun-
ty, and the people who are most incon-
venienced do not seem to know how
to correct it; but really it is a simple
matter.
When Mr. C. C. Hughes first moved
from the vicinity of Grover, N. c., to
his plantation on Fishing creek he
found that it was the practice of the
neighborhood to leave stock to run at
large after crops were laid by, and
feeling that he could not afford to sub
nit to such conditions, he proceeded
to put a stop to them.
The first step was to put out a
warning to the effect that all stock
found running at large on the Hughes
property would be taken up. This had
but little effect The custom of the
country had been free range for so long
that many Of the people were unable
to see how it could be otherwise.
Stock continued to stray on the place.
and at great trouble and expense Mr..
Hughes put them in an enclosure.
When the owners came, they were told
that they could have the stock with
out charge that time; but the next
time they would have to pay. There
was next time" in the case Of two
or three and they were required to
pay. There was no third time in the
ca CO of anyhOdy
At the present time the whole neigh
borhood in which Mr.. Hughes lives Is
free from roaming stock, and every
body is delighted with the change,
which was brought about by Mr.
Hughes, Mr.. jackson and two or three
others. A proposition to return to the
old. open range basis would find but
few advocates.
The stock law should be strictly en-
forced all over the county. 1t should
be enforced because it is law. There
are people in different neighborhoods
who allow themselves to be imposed
upon because they do not care to make
a fuss. Generous people will not i'm
pose on other people in violation of law
lust because they can and the other
people are willing to submit.

THE Fort Mill Times makes the
statement that The Enquirer has put
itself on record as condoning perjury
in elections. This statement, like many
others the Times has seen proper tc
make about The Enquirer is without
warrant Of fact. 1t is fact, that ev-
cry voter in the primary takes an oath
to support the nominee in the general
election. and we think he should do it
But how he can do it if he is not reg
istered, we are unable to see. Under
the conditions that now obtain, the
primary oath is binding only on those
who have registration certificates
The Enquirer is not on record as con-
ioning perjury or any other crime.

A we'll known and successful farmer
Of York county claims that any rea-
sonably intelligent laborer of fair en-
ergy can rent land on the prevailing
half and half basis, and with one hun
1red and fifty days work. make more
money than he can make in a year as
day laborer at $3.50 a day. The far
mer says it is not matter Of theory;
but he can cite individual cases where
the thing has been done.
It will be remembered that shortly
after the rebuilding of the York coun-
ty court house, Mr.. J. Wylie Roddey,
who was then foreman Of the grand
Jury, sought to establish an anti-spit-
ling rule. He received some little sup
port. and improved the situation lit
tie: but he was ahead Of the times,
md the court house was soon messed
up with tobacco spit. The enforce5
ment of rule like that adopted over
IN Cherokee would yield a considerable
revenue for York.
