ON HIS BICYCLE
Augusta Man Overtake* acd Stop* a Buna
away Ho’s».
Nearly everybody in Augusta knows
Mr. Theo. Foucber.
He is the young man who rides single
wagon wheels as well as the unathetic do
bicycles. He can balance himself in all
sorts of positions, and sets his spectators
nerves on edge by his bicycle riding,
which usually has the effect of possess
ing his audience with a horror lest the
next moment he break his neck in one of
his daring feats.
The fact is, daring feats are now an
Everyday business with Mr. Foucher,
and yesterday, when he did the most
drring act of his life, he seemed to re
gard it as a mere bit of exercise—nothing
dangerous at all.
It was about 4 o’clock yesterday after
noon that this young man was riding
Snietly down Broad street teaching a lit
e boy how to ride.
Looking behind him be saw ahorse
dashing furiously down the street to
wards him. The animal was a spirited
one and was hitched to a one-horse
dray.
The bicyclist left his young pupil on
the sidewalk in front of the Planters
Hotel, and then spurted out after the
horse on .his wheel. About twenty-five
yards he caught up with him, and rid
ing close up to the bridle, jerked it and
continued to jerk it, until the horse came
to a dead stop.
This jerking was done at high speed,
and had be lost hia balance on bis wheel
no doubt he would have been killed be
neath the frigbtened animal’s feet.
But he held on, and led the horse back
to its owner, a farmer, who came almost
breathless on the scene about a minute
later.
Then Mr. Foucher quitely instructed
his pupil how to mount his wheel, and
rode off down the street.
He said afterwards to an admirer:
“The horse actually jerked me upon my
front wheel.”
This leaves the presumption that stop
ping horses, and. especially furious run
aways like the one yesterday, is a very

day* lie Doe* Not Rejoice In McKinley’s
• Victory, but In Bryan** Defeat*
Chicago, Nov. 4.—“ We know,” say.-
John P. Hopkins, chairman of the gold
standard Democratic committee, “that
McKinley has received an overwhelm
ing majority in Illinois. This is not a
surprise to those who had an opportu
nity to observe the trend of public opin
ion in this state. The Palmer and
Buckner vote was insignificant, which
is a matter of no surprise to the mana
gers of the sound money campaign in
this state.
“Democracy and the Democratic par
tv still lives; its principles are eternal.
I do not rejoice at McKinley’s victory,
but Ido rejoice in Bryan’s defeat. Our
committee will meet this wedt and pro
claim to the people of this state and to
the United States that we are Demo
crats and claim to represent the Demo
cratic faith. We have no donbt that
the conservative element of the party
Will assert itself, and now that Altgeld
ism and all it represents has been ut
terly repudiated by our state, the sober
sense of the people will assert itself and
the Democracy will be re-established on
its ancient lines.
“I rejoice as an American citizen that
the capacity of the American people to
govern themselves iu peace as in war
has been demonstrated by the most cru
cial test to which the republic has been
subjected.”

IT’S ALL OYER NOW
[Continued From Fifth Page ]
that the contest was over, in order
that the Major and Mrs. McKinley
, might have rest. The members of the
I local Republican committee were on
hand to keep away visiting delegations
until later in the day.
A curious crowd filled the sidewalks
and the streets at the home, but no visi
' tors were admitted. Telegrams by the
hundred accumulated through the early
morning and were delivered in huge
bunches. They were mainly congratu
latory with some additional advices on
the situation. Word came that Oregon
had given McKinley a majority of 7,000
and that Louisville would give a major
ity of 13,500.
In a general way the returns led to
the conviction by Major McKinley’s
closest friends that 239 electoral votes
were assured beyond peradventure, 48
more were regarded probable for Mc-
Kinley, and 18 doubtful.
Those regarded as certain are: Con
necticut, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Min
nesota, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wis
consin.
Those counted ar probable for McKin
ley are: North Dakota, South Dakota,
Delaware, Kentucky, Montana, Wash
ington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
The doubtful are: Kansas and Ne
braska.
Joseph Smith, political secretary of
Major McKinley, says: “The electoral
vote of McKinley and Hobart will be
tomewhere between 289 and 354, leav
ing to Bryan and Sewall not more than
92 to 158. In my confident judgment,
McKinley and Hobart will receive
nearly, if not quite 1,500.000 plurality
of the popular vote.”
ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.
Cleveland and Hi* Cabinet Satisfied With
the Result of the Election.
Washington, Nov. 4.—There was an
air of unconcealed satisfaction in ad
ministration circles over the result of
the election, yet this was tempered in
many instances with pity. From the
president in the White House down to
the lowest official there was an indispo
sition to exult over the defeat of their
oldtime political associates, and the
members of the president's official fam
ily preserved a dignified silence in the
hope of thus making easier the task set
'for the futurejieal of the breaches in
the party.
All of the members of the cabinet who
were in Washington remained with the
president in the white house until S a.
m. listening to the reading of the re
turns from ths Associated press and
other sources by Private Secretary
Thurber. By that hour they had, satis
fied themselves completely as to the
general result.
The cabinet officers refused to make
any statement as to their views of the
election. As for the president, Private
Secretary Thurber said he had com
menced the preparation of his annual
message to the congress and, as has al
ways been the custom, he would bo
obliged to deny himself to the public
until it was completed. The month of
November is usually devoted to this
purpose.
PAYNE IS HIGHLY ELATED.
Think. th* Country I* to Be Congratulated
on the Result of the Election.
Chicago, Nov. 4 Mr. Henry B.
Payne of the gold standard Democratic
executive committee was highly elated
over the result and said:
“The country is to be congratulated
that the majority is so great that it will
inspire, confidence in business circus.
Too much praise cannot, in my opinion,

be given to patriotic men who have
broken away from their oldtime affina
tions to support our tickft.
“It is not to be forgotten that our
adopted citizens have contributed their
full share towards this splendid victory. ’ ’
ECKELS ON THE RESULT.
Th* Comptroller of lhe Currency la No*
Surprised at the Republican Victory.
Chicago, Nov. 4.—Comptroller Eck
els, who was at the national Demo
cratic headquarters, said:
“I think the result is just what might
have been expected. When the ques
tion was put to the voters: ‘Will the
American people pay their debts?' it has
always been decided that they would.
We pay our debts. The nation pays its
debts. The importance of the result in
the business world is that it means the
rehabilament of Ain<”- -i credit abroad.
That means investor a willing to put
their idle capital iu Ou- enterprise.
