MR.. BRYAN ON THE RESULT.
STILL HAS FAITH IN PRINCIPLES
WHICH HE PROMULGATED.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-Mr. Bryan
today gave out the following statement:
ave made our fight" upon platform
which embodied what we believed to
be good for the American people but it
is for the people themselves to decide
what laws they desire and what meth
DDS of government they prefer.
81 have faith that the publicity
which we asked for will yet commend
itself TO the American people that the
election of senators by the people will
be secured, that the iniquities of the
trusts will arouse an opposition that
will result in the elimination of the
principle of private monopoly. [ am
confident that the people will see the
necessity for the labor legislation and
the tariff reduction which our plat
form demanded. | am confident, too,
| that the educational work in this cam
paign will result in securing greater
protection to bank depositors.
Mr.. Bryan continued: "The above are
the most prominent reforms for which
we labored and | believe that these re-
forms will yet come together with more
effective regulation of railroads and in
dependence for the Filipinos.
81 desire to commend the work of
our national committee. l am entirely
satisfied with Mr.. Mack as the chair
man and with the members of the COM
mittee. | do not see how they could
have done more than they did and as
for myself, put forth every effort in
my power to secure victory for our
cause. The nomination came from the
hands of the voters, | have obeyed
their command and have led as best |
could.
Words will not express my gratitude
for the willingness of the democrats
during the past twelve years. Neither
am | able to adequately express my APP
probation for the kind words which
have been spoken since the election. If
| could regard the defeat as purely a
personal one, | would consider it bless
ing rather than misfortune, for | am |
relieved of the burdens and response
bilities of an office that is attractive |
only in proportion, as it gives an OPP
portunity to render larger public SER
vice.
But l shall serve as willingly in a
private capacity as in public one.
God does not require great things of
US. He only requires that we improve
the opportunities that are presented,
and | shall be glad to improve the OPP
portunities for service presented by pri-
waite life. In this hour of national de- |
feat find some consolation in the cor
dial support given by my neighbors,
by the citizens of Lincoln and by the |
people of the State of Nebraska.
With democratic governor and |
democratic Legislature we shall be able
to yN,rf ,,,fo IL r l.

JUDGE GRAY'S. PLEA
NO. NEED FOR REVISION or TEE CONSTITUTION.
Distinguished Delaware Jurlst gaym the Organic Law of This Coun-

Philadelphia. Feb. a1.--In an address at the anp=al dinner of the Pennayl- vania Scotch-Irish Society here to- night United States Circuit Court Judge. George Gray of Delaware. de- cIared that the constitution of the United States needs no revision.
 The speaker launched into an appeal against what he describes as the pres ent tendency for Increasing the powers of the Federal government to the det- riment of the powers of the separate States. Expressing the opinion that wealth had perhaps increased too rap- Idly and the dangeP-of immigration presented compilations nevertheless he said:
 ''We could get along with less gov ernmental aid to stimulate activity. We don't need protection nor subsidy and we don't need proclamation of the Responsibility of the trresponslbles.
 The constitution of the United States was good enough for cur fath- CTS. 1t made our country what it ia and it is now strong enough without addition. The powers of the govern ment are strong enough. and neither by legislation nor construction do we need more capitalization of power"

 Tn the arrest of the men, the police believe they have the gang who have stolen many thousand dollars worth of goods from freight cars during the past fe wmonths. The men were at work on a ear door when a brakeman on train, which had just drawn in from Albany, saw them and called out to them to get away from the cars. Their reply. which was enforced by three leyeiied revolvers, was that if the brakeman at- tempted to come down from tne car on which he' was standing, he would be "shot as full of holes as screen door, Then, while one of their num- her remained on guard Nover the brake Yffan. the others returned to their work. After they had. removed quantity or valuable goods from the car, the thieves carefully locked the door with a eoun- terfeit seal.

WILL FIGHT
 A REDUCTION Locomotive Engineers to
 Stand Pat. z STATEMENT OF GRAND CHIEF Says That Threatened Reduction of
 Wages is Unjust. Aszistant Grand Master of Brotherhood of Railroad rrsinmen Declares That Employees wim Flight
 to Bitter End.

Cleveland. O., Feb. 2f.--warren S.. Stone, Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. today made the following statement in connection with the reported purpose of some railway companies to order a general reduction of the wages of employees:
 The threatened reduction of wages of employees in train service is abso- lutely unjustified from any point of view. Their pay is based on mileage basis, practically piece work, and they are only paid when there are services to be performed Wages of employees in tra.n service fall parallel with the shrinkage in business. plus increased living expenses away from home. When their earnings are S1s0 per month, their expense of living away from home ts about 15 per cent, while at the present reduced rate of s70. which has to be met by hundreds under present condi- tons, that expense will increase ft to at least 20 per cent of earnings. because they are held away from the home terminal until there is full tonnage train to be handled. making a total automatic reduction already in wages from 50 to 70 per cent.
 "Ths roads are getting the same re- turn in freight receipts from the ser vice rendered as they did when the business was good. and there .s no con. sistency iu asking men to accept fur ther reductions than result from the present business shrinkage and the full power of the Brotherhood of Locomo. five Engineers w4ll be used, if neces- aary. in an effcrt to prevent any further reduction, because it would be abso- lutely unjust"
 william c. Lee, Assistant Grand Mas ter of the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen, speaking for his organization on the same subject, dictated the fois lowing:
 "Tha workers have not had q thing to do with this panic and loss of businesa. except to suffer from the mis. management cf some employers and specuIatofs, If he werka he produces suas as much per hour as he eyer did. xxlss living expenaep are just as hiHh, As
 ssAfi classes of trainmen are pad bY the mile or trip; and reduction Of miles run. or trips made. means . re, duction of the amount paid by the eFH- pIoyeF.
 There can be no good argument pre- scented why tratnmen should receive lower trip, or mileage. rates for miles run. Freight trains are not run un-s less business requires 1t. Corporations never carry an overload of labor. but labor is usually compelled to carry an overload of capitalization.
 ''Our personal business now Is to maintain the present standard of living which means to hold to the present standard of wages, and unless all signs fall, railroad employees will op- pose to the bitter end any attempt to reduce wages"
