II confess to a very great disappointment at the
result of the election with regard to both Mr.
Bryan and Mr. Chanler. l have no details or the
vote which would justify my expression OF an
opinion as to the particular influences which may
have operated upon the voters. Every indication
before the election convinced me that MI Bryan
would prove much more popular candidate than
he to have been. but when judged by the
vote poed when taking into account the DIS
tracing candidacy of Mr.. Hsgen and the Hearst
ticket. Governor Hughes can find but little com
fort anc Endorsement of his policies In the re-
suit.
There be question that with the same
elements OF opposition in any other year tnan tha'
OF a Presidential campaign. and with political con
,ditions at all normal, he would have been buried
under an adverse vote OF at least 10000.
