STRENGTH ADDED
THROUGH DEFEAT
Democratic Party Is More Unit
ed and Has Greater Power
of ReCuperatiOn.

New York. Nov. .4.-Decla-ing that
the Deniocratic party is more united
today than it has been in many years,
and Mr. Bryan was defeated by what
he claims was misrepresentation. 70 the
effect that his election would hurt bust
ness interests. Chairman Mack of the
Democratic national committee this
afternoon issued a statement in which
he announces extensive plans to adj
vance the party's interest during the
next four years
Mr. Mack's statement in full follows:
There is not much for me to say
and no apologies to make relative to
the victory of the Republican party.
Mr. Bryan made the most significant
fight ever waged by a candidate. The
party was made the victim OF misrep-
resentation. a misrepresentation that
Democratic success would retard the
business interests of the country That
was. of course, an argument without
foundation &,
Notwithstanding yesterdays defea I,
the Democratic party stands more unit
ed today than ii has in many years.
and in this union lies its future strength
and power of recuperation.
1T is my intention to continue head
quarters in Buffalo and Washington
for the next four years. to keep IL
touch with the leaders of all the states
and to promuIgate Democratic princi-
pIes and Democratic thought by the
printing of literature to aid the leaders
of the party in fighting the high tariff,
which in all -proba bility the Republic
cans will continue. Notwithstanding
their nroniSeS to revise it.

and which is close normally, though
inclined 10 be Democratic. Knight
made a better race than the Democrat
ic presidential nominee. He carried
Juab county with i29 to spare. Summit
with about 300. Washington with So
to the good land Utah with nearly 700
BY q curious coincidence Taft and Spry
have almost the same plurality in Salt
Lake county, though the total vote f0r
president is considerably less than for
governor, owing, it is supposed. to the
Republican America ns'' who declined
10 vote for president because they were
deprived of the Taft Liberal ticket
electors.
The present outlook is that the next
state senate will be soiidly Republican.
To date the Democrats have elected
representatives only in Washington
Ufntah. and Summit counties. with Il
chance in Wayne and Beaver.
Returns indicate the probable defeat
of Judge Erickson for judge in the
Seventh district by A H Christensen.
Carbon gave Erickson a majority of

Mr.. Bryan's victory in his home state

of Nebraska's six congressman will be

only eighteen Republicans seem to be
elected out of a total of 1873 senator's
