Facts Cannot
Be Downedl
October the first we added to our
list of customers, a lady, who is re
paled to be one of the best cooks in
Rome and one who buys the best oi
everything for her table. We had
tried five years to get her account,
and though she has traded with us
only a month and tour dajs, we feel
fully repaid for our five years work
for her trade, not so much for the
dollars and cents profit on her pur
chases but for her kind words. This
is what she said to hs:—‘‘l want to
tell you that lam delighted with
the goods bought of you. I have
kept house 15 years and don’t think
during that time, I never bought
any ccffee that equals your Java and
Mocha blend in flavor and strength
and yoar flour makes the best bread
and pastry I every saw. It certain
ly must contain all the gluten there
was in the wheat or it would not be
so wholesome.
‘1 have had nothing from you
that was not of best qvality. besides
when I send an order it is quickly
delivered.”
We would like for you to think
O’er this matter and if you think
over this matter and if you
want the best goods that money can
buy at same prices that you are
paying for goods that have prob
ably set on shelves for months and
and were not of good quality when
bought, we would be glad for you to
try our goods and" we will prove all
that we have said are facts. We do
not give our trade to one or two
houses, but go to the largest man
ufactures and buy in large quanities
and thereby get the best prices,
which enables us to sell so cheap.
For imported goods and many other
fancy groceries we go into the largest
stores in the United States and se
lect the bargains from each one and
place them at your door, often times
for let-s than fifty per cent oi the
groceries could buy them where they
have to buv in small quanities
We believe we have the best pay
ing customers in Rome. During the
sx j ears we have sold groceries
here we have not lost or accumu
lated S6OO in bad accounts. Our
customers do not have to pay a high
price for goods to make good losses
by bad accounts
We want your trade and if yo i
have watched our ads you know
that our prices are lees than you
are paying for the same class of
goods.
Yours truly,

eouuty will probably Rive a Republican
majority of 7,000. and this is a big in
crease over the last vote.
The ratio of Republican gain in this
state has stood in the neighborhood of
ten to the precinct since the election re
turns began coming in. While not one
fourth of the state has been heard from,
the returns already in are sufficiently
scattered to indicate pretty definitely
that McKinley’s plurality will not fail
below 25.000. The heaviest gains were
in the cities and towns. It is impossi
ble to state just how many congressmen
the Republicans have elected, or just
how the legislature will stand, but there
is little or no doubt that the Republi
cans wiAl poll a big majority of both.
MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Nov. 4. Returns incom
plete as yet from the 83 counties of
Michigan, indicate McKinley’s plural
ity in Michigan to be 40,000. The same
returns give Pingree, for governor, an
estimated plurality of 58,000. That Pin
gree should have run decidedly ahe I
of his ticket generally through the stave
is regarded as something of a surprise,

in view of the combined interests allied
against him In Detroit Pingree got
more votes than he had ever received in
his candidacy for mayor. The Repub
lican state ticket ran considerably be
hind Pingree’s vote and several thous
and behind the McKinley vote.
The Republican members of congress
are elected in each of the 12 districts of
the state except the Third and Eighth;
in the Eighth the issue is still between
Congressman Linton and Brucker.
Wayne county elected her entire Re
publican delegation to the legislature,
ten rerepsentatives and four senators, al
though ex-Mayor William O. Thompson
for senator narrowly escaped defeat.
The legislature will be overwhelm
ingly Republican, but by what majority
is not yet determined.
CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco, Nov. 4.—California
has joined the east in the McKinley
landslide and its majority for the Re
publican standard bearer will pass 5,000
at least. Many of the counties have not
yet sent in returns, but the more popu
lous and those in which the fate of the
elections hinged have been heard from
and swell the R°publican majority to
a point where nothing to come later can
possibly disturb them.
LOS Angeles, which was the strong
hold in the southern tier of counties, is
estimated as giving from 1,200 to 2,000
majority for McKinley. Great interest
is centered on the congressional ticket.
Outside this city only one Democratic
representative seems to have been
chosen. The legislature has gone with
the general result and may safely be
classed as Republican and insures the
return of a Republican to the United
States senate.
WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 4.—The Popu
lists are claiming eastern Washington
by 5,000 majority, based on esitmates of
less than half of the count. The most
populous counties in western Washing
ton are giving McKinley small majori
ties. The Post Intelligencer returns in
dicates that Bryan has carried the state
by a majority of 3,000.
Sullivan, Republican candidate for
governor, concedes the election of Rog
ers, his fusion opponent. Bryan and
fusion state ticket apparently carried
the state by a majority of less than
5,000 and will control the legislature.
Complete returns from 59,precincts in
Washington outside Tacoma and Seat
tle give McKtnley 2,850; Bryan 3,320;
Sullivan, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, 7,819; Rogers, fusion. 3,413.
COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 4.—Scattering returns
•how that Bryan and Sewall carried Co -
orado by over 100,000 majority in a total
of about 175,000 votes. No effort has
yet been made to tabulate the returns.
The Democratic-Silver fusion state
ticket, headed by Adams, Democratic
candidate for governbr, apparently has
a plurality of 12,000 over the Populist-
Silver party fusion ticket.
Bailey, Populist candidate for gov
ernor. curried this (Arapahoe) county
by about 1,200 plurality, but most or thie
other populous counties give large ma
jorities for Adams. The McKinley state
ticket got fewer votes than the Rapub
lican electors and Waite, the ‘'middle
of-the-r.rad Populist, was a poor fourth
in the race.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 4 —There
is absolutely nothing received at Demo
cratic headquarters by which a major
ity can be based by either party. A few
telegrams received by Secretary Olney
announce gains, but not enough couu
ties have been heard from to form an
idea as to the result. The Democrats
claim the state by 8.000 and the Repub
licans by from 10.000 to I*<,ooo.
Returns from the state, which are
slow, show Republican gains over 1892,
and there is a strong probability that
the state has gone for McKinley. W> t

ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, Nov. '4.—The fusion
ticket in Arkansas was elected by a ma
jority of from 25,000 to 30,000 Returns
from over the state indicate that about
the usual vote was polled.
The Democratic candidates for con
gress were elected by good majorities.
Terry, in the Fourth, receiving about
8,000 over Watprs, Republican; Mcßae,
in the Third, carried one of the strong
est Republican precincts in Hempstead
county. It will be several days before
all the election returns are in from the
back counties, but from the figures at
hand, the Democratic majority is con
servatively estimated at 25,000.
The three Populists on the ticket ran
about 2,000 behind the Democratic,
which about represents thaz-gold stand
ard Democratic strength in the state.
KANSAS.
Topeka, Nov. 4.—lt seems practically
certain that Bryan has carried Kansas
by a small majority. Chairman Breiden
thal of the Democratic state committee
claims the state by 13,000. Chairman
Simpson, of the Republican state com
mittee, however, refuses to surrender
and declares that complete returns will
show a victory for the Republicans.
The Democrats claim the election of
congressmen in the Third, Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh districts by majorities from
2,500 to 6,000. The First district is con
ceded to Broderick (Rep.) and the
Fourth is classed doubtful. Returns
generally indicate Republican losses.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Nov. 4. —The election
was the most peaceable and quiet ever
held in this state. In the country par
ishes the Australian ballot had the effect
of keeping many negroes away from
the polls, restilting in a light vote.
With half a dozen polls missing Bryan’s
majority in the city was 10,000; his ma
jority in the state may exceed 30,000.
A full Democratic delegation is elected
to congress.
WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Wy., Nov. 4.—Thirty
nine Wyoming precincts give McKitdey
1,400; Bryan 1,462; Democratic gain of
284. Incomplete returns from two pre
cincts in Evanston and eight in Lara
mie give Democratic gain of 632. At
this ratio the entire state will give Bryan
1,300 plurality. Congressional and state
tickets are pretty nearly the same as the
electoral ticket.
NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 4.—New York state
approximated the most sanguine expec
tations of the Republican campaign
managers, the only crumb of comfort
remaining to the Democrats being five
congressmen elected in this city. The
closest estir ate it is possi. le to make
indicate that McKinley’s plurality in
the state over Bryan will exceed 250,-
000.
OREGON.
Portland, Or., Nov. 4. Nearly
three-fourths of the total vote of Ore
gon has been received. McKinley, 32.-
133; Bryan, 27,409; McKinley plurality
4, 724 Palmer’s vote in the state will
be about 100. It is estimated that the
precincts yet to be heard from will re
duce McKinley’s plurality 1,500, mak
ing his plurality in the state 3,200.
OHIO.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4. —Hamilton coun
ty, 0., complete gives McKinley 57,782;
Bryan, 38,003; Palmer, 186; McKinley’s
plurality, 19,779 Shattuc (Rep.), con
gressman First district, has a plurality
of 905; Bromwell, Second district, wul
be elected by 9,299. The pluralities for
Republicans on the state ticket are al
most the same as for McKinley.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Nov; 4.—Returns from 'he
state are coming in more slowly t* c an
usual. The party managers are ma j’ng
no effort to collect them, and vill
be allowed to drift in through 1 * 4ow
official sources. The Democratic ma
jority will probably be about 25,000, and
all of the 11 congressmen are
TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Nov. 4.—Returns from
the state are very meagre. The Demo
crats are claiming the state for Bryan,
and there is a probability that he will
get a srnah plurality. The Republicans
still claim the state by a small plurality
and are more confident of the election
of their candidate for governor.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Yankton, S. D., Nov. 4.—One hun
dred and fifty-six out of 1,097 precincts
in South Dakota give McKinley 10,682;
Bryan 9,411 On the same ratio the
state will go to McKinley by o iffy 200.
the country precincts may wipe this
out.
ALABAMA,
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 4—Full re
turns have not yet been received from
every county in this state and no esti
mate based on any actual count of votes
can be safely made. Bryan, however,
has carried the state.
NEW JERSEY.
Newark, N. J., Nov. 4.—Chairman
Murphy of the Republican state com
mittee claims the state "by 40,000 plural
ity for McKinley. Chairman Price of
the Democratic committee will not con
cede anything.
TEXAS.
Dallas, Nov. 4.—The count is slow,
nothing official can be obtained and it
is hard to ascertain the result in Dallas.
Bryan win carry me state' by nearly
50,000, with the Democratic state ticket.
MINNESOTA.
Minneapolis, Nov. 4. Congress:
Fifth district, Loren Flether, re-elected.
Hennepin county gives McKinley 4,000
majority, while for governor. Lind,
fusion, will get nearly 1,000 majority.
FLORIDA.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.—Bryan
gets 10,000 majority in Florida. The
first 23 precincts out of 632 give Bryan
and Sewall 1,262; Bryan and Watson,
77; McKinley, 570; Palmer, 107.
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Nov. 4.—While Bryan has
probably carried Nebraska by a small
plurality, Republicans are not conceding
that fact, since less than 300 of 1,554
precincts in the state have been heard
from. A definite result cannot be
known before night, but Bryan is
steadily gaining in most of the remote
rural districts yet to hear from His
majority, however, shows decreasing
majorities as the count progresses. It
is conceded that Bryan’s greatest
strength is there, and it will probably
overcome the 2,000 plurality McKinley
has ip Omaha. The feature of the con
test is the enormous vote polled, proba
bly 10 per cent heavier than at any
previous time.
This is attributed to the element
which has heretofore refused to partici
pate in elections, but which the final
issue of this campaign brought forth.
As a result of the generous manner in
which the state ticket was scratched,
little can be definitely determined be
fore night as to the result. Holcombe,
Democratic-Populist gubernatorial can
didate, is probably elected, as he rau
ahead of Bryan in many sections. The
probabilities are that the state ticket is
divided between two parties and will
be close on all results. The legislature,
however, is largely Republican.
In the congressional districts, while
little is definitely known except in the
Second, where Mercer is re-elected,
there is_ little doubt that the Republi
cans have elected four of the remaining
five congressmen. Maxwell, silver
Democrat in the Third, is probably
elected, The complete white vote will
probably exceed 230,000. The heaviest
vote previously polled in Nebraska was
in 1894, 210,000. In view of the intense
excitement in Nebraska, it is considered
remarkable that no disturbances of im
portance occurred election day.
Chairman Post, of the Republican
state committee, at 10 o’clock, conceded
Nebraska to the fusion ticket on presi
dential electors and governor, but he
says that neither Bryan nor Holcomb
—the latter being the fusion candidate
for governor—will have anything like
the plurality claimed by Dahlman
and Ediston, Democratic and Populist
chairmen. He says the representative
and congressional tickets are in doubt.
It appears quite certain, however, that
the Populists will get four of the six
congressmen, and they may have five if
not the entire-six.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, Nov. 4.—Missouri rerurns
are very incomplete, but it is known,
without a doubt that St. Louis has
given McKinley from 12,000 to 25,000
plura'ity, the former being conceded by
the Democrats and the latter claimed by
the Republicans. There seems to be no
doubt that .two of the three congress
men in St. Louis will be Republican;
Bartholt in the Seventeenth district and
Pearce in the Twelfth district. Con
gressman Joy, (Rep.) appears to have
been defeated by Hunt (Dem.) accord
ing to the latest returns.
The lateness of the returns from the
city and the state is due to the compli
cations in the election law, recently en
acted and put into force for the first
time at this election, added to this the
cutting out of the vote on' the four con
stitutional amendments causing a loss
of time, each having to be taken up
separately. Indications are that all
these amendments are defeated.
Less than one-half of the election pre
cincts in Missouri have been heard from.
They show a lead for Bryan, which
Chairman Cook claims give him the
state by 7,009 majority. He also claims
the elect on of 12 Democratic congress
men outside ot St. Louis and the full
state ticket, with Evans for governor.
In the state, the only definite returns as
to congressmen are the Third and
Fourth districts, the Democratic caudi
datebeum»elected in each. Dockery
■■JPWted in the Third and Ooeh-
in the Fourth. Ou the
other hand, the Republicans claim that
the state is in doubt.
The returns thus far received show a
large increase in the vote for both par
ties as compared with the vote of 1892
and the Republicans assert that the ad
vantage is largely with them. Lewis,
the Republican candidate for governor,
rau ahead of the national ticket in most
of the country districts.
CANTON GREATLY EXCITED.
McKinley*® Home City Goes Wild Over the
lies'llt of the Election.
Canton, 0., Nov. 4 —Canton is in a
fever of excitement. On all sides there
is an uninterrupted din of screeching
steam whistles pulled open to their fu.l
capacity and tooting a savage cheer;
bands and drum corps marching and
counter-marching, uninformed and uu
uniformed clubs parading, and artillery
companies shaking the town with can
non salute. The town people enmasse
joined in the demonstration of rejoicing
over the result of the election. What
ever doubt there may be as to the result
of the election, Canton is convinced that
their townsman, Mr. McKinley, is the
president-elect of the United States. ’
Major McKinley was about the house
by 8 a. m. after a three hours’ nap
broken by the demonstration made
areuud him. At 4 o’clock he stood on
roof, of the porch reviewing the Tippe
canoe club. It was a stirring scene in
the gray of the morning. Major Mc-
Kinley took a final survey of the esti
mates up to 4:15. There had been
marked fluctuations after midnight.
But in any view of the situation, the
feeling about the McKinley home wag
