BRYAN ON THE ELECTIONS
Nebraskan Gives His Views and Sums Up
the Result.
REPUBLICANS NO WINNERS
“They Have No Room to Brag,
According to the Figures
Shown By the Vote.”
A Lincoln, Neb., special pays: W.J.
Bryan Saturday evening gave to the
press cu extended statement summing
up the results of the elections in dif
ferent states. In Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, where the Democrats
affirmed the Chicago platform, he finds
that they have made gains, while in
New York and New Jersey the re
publican vote shows a falling off.
Maryland, he declares, is now safely
Democratic. On the Kentucky elec
tion, he says:
‘‘The result in Kentucky does not
give any encouragement to the Repub
lican a. The latest returns show that
the contest between Mr. Goebel and
Mr. Taylor is very close. The Demo
crats claim the election of Goebel and
the entire state ticket by small plurali
ties. The legislature is safely Demo
cratic in both branches and the elec
tion of Blackburn to succeed Lindsay
is assured. No one who has watched
the contest will doubt that the De
mocracy, united ou national issues,
can be relied upon for a majority of
20,000 to 30,000.
Ohio is summed up as follows:
‘‘What consolation can republicans
draw from the Ohio election? Mr.
Hanna secured the nomination of his
candidate for governor upon a platform
indorsing the republican administra
tion. And while the returns indicate
that N;vsh has a plurality of about
fifty thousand over McLean, McLean
and Jones together have a majority of
something like fifty thousand over the
republican candidate.
“McLean ran upon a platform em
phatically indorsing the Chicago plat
form anti condemning the trusts, mili
tarism and imperialism, and he made
a gallant fight against great edds.
Ohio is the home of the president. It
is the home of Mr. Hanna, chairman
of the Republican national committee.
Postmasters all over tue United States
w ere uged to contribute money to save
Ohio.
“Mr. Hanna took the stump himself
ami culled upon Republicans to sup
port the ticket, and in dor ho the policies
of the administration. And yet in
spite of all that could- he done, Mr.
Hanna's own county was carried by
Mr. Jones, and the Republican party,
which had a majority of nearly fifty
thousand in 189(3, is now overwhelmed
by a majority approximating fifty
thousand. The Jones vote is anti-
Republiean. Mr. Jones himself lias
made an open fight against Mr. Hanna
ami his methods and tho Republican
party has turned its batteries against
Mr. Jones and his followers.”

lowa, !Bouth Dakota and Kansas re
sults are passed over with brief para
graphs as not of leading importance.
In Nebraska he says:
“The Nebraska campaign was
fought on national issues and the fu
sion candidate for judge received
about 14,01)0 this year as against
3,000 lust year for the fusion candi
date for governor and 13,000 for the
fusion electors in 1800 and the fusion
candidate for judge in 1890. Assist
ant Secretary of War Meiklejohn came
from Washington to plead with the
voters to uphold the president’s pol
icies. Senator Thurston and Senator
Hayward wer on the stump warning
the people not to repudiate the presi
dent.
“Senator Fairbanks and other prom
inent Republicans *Yom outside the
state lent their influence, but notwith
standing the efforts put forth by the
Republicans the fusion forces gained
a signal victory. Their candidate,
Judge Holcomb, carried live of the
congressional districts out of six and
lost the remaining district (the fifth)
by only a thousand. The fusiouists
FEVER AT PORT TAMPA.

A telegram was received at office of
state board of lu-alth in Jacksonville,
Saturday, from Dr. L. W. Weedon,
apreut of board for Hillsboro county,
announcing one death from yellow fe
ver and two cases of the disease at
Port Tampa City. Quarantine wan at

Dr. Porter states that the lateness of

made a net gain of three district judges
and a large gain in county officers.”
Mr. Bryan continues:
‘‘Taken as a whole, the election re
turns from all the states give encour
agement to those who hope for the
overthrow of the Republican party in
I'JOO. It is evident that those who
believed in the Chicago platform in
1890 still believe in it. It is also evi
dent that the hostility to the Chicago
platform among those who oppose it
is not as pronounced as it was in 1890.
“It is apparent that there is a grow
ing hostility to the monopolies which
have grown up under a Republican ad
ministration. It is safe to say that
the American people would by a large
majority pronounce against the at
tempt to raise the standing army to
one hundred thousand, and it is equal
ly certain that upon a direct vote up
on the issue a large majority of the
people would pronounce against an
imperialistic policy which would de
velop here a colonial system after the
patern of Enropean governments.
“If the rebuke administered to the
republicans at the polls had been more
severe, the prospect of remedial legis
lation at the hands of the republicans
would be brighter. While it was suf
ficient to indicate that the people are
not satisfied with the republican poli
cies, it may not have been sufficient to
stay the course of the republican party
toward plutocracy and toward the
European idea of a government built
upon force rather than upon the con
sent of the governed, a government
relying for its safety upon a large
standing army, rather than upon a
citizen soldiery. W. J. Bryan.”
VICE PRESIDENT IMPROVES.
r>lr. Hobart'* Condition I* Now More Fa
vorable.
A dispatch from Paterson, N. J.,
snys: Vice President Hobart passed a
favorable night and the improvement
that has been observed for several
days continued Sunday. He ate solid
food with relish and it was promptly
assimilated. With his meals he took
milk and between meals was given
milk punches.
This is a marked change from his
condition ten days ago. At that time
he was rapidly sinking and his stom
ach had refused food of all kinds. For
several days he lived on grapes and
the juice of grapefruit, but it soon ap
peared that his stomach was so con
gested that he could not even take
these.
Mr. Hobart now spends most of his
time in a reclining position and he
sleeps without the aid of opiates. The
most, painful and alarming feature of
his illness has been bis attacks of
nervousness at the approach of night.
These attacks have decreased.
GRAND NEPHEW OF BAYIS
And Great Grandson of Taylor Killed In

ment, reported fatally wounded at

great grandson of President Zachary
Taylor.
His father is Captain J. Taylor
Wood, who has resided in Halifax
since the close of war between the
north aud south.
Young Lieutenant Wood was born

of that college to die iu battle aud the

Exceed 9,500,000 Bales, Ac
cording to Department.
A Washington dispatch says: The
monthly report of the statistician of
the department of agriculture will
state that the most thorough investi
gation of the cotton situation that has
been made since 1895 has just been
completed. Special agents in the
Washington office have visited all the
prominent points in the cotton belt,
investigating both acreage and pro
duction.
Pending the receipt of the final re
ports as to picking, due December 1,
no detailed statement will be issued,

basis of the highest estimate of the
area under cultivation for which the
department can find any warrant
23,500,000 acres, the crop cannot ex
ceed 9,500,000 bales. This estimate
is based on the most complete and
trustworthy information.
