THE ASHBURN ADVANCE.
VOL. VIII.
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 says: TV. J.
Biyau Saturday evening gave to the
press an extended statement summing
up the results of the elections in dif¬
ferent states. In Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, where llie Democrats
affirmed the Chicago platform, he finds
that they have made gains, while in
New York aud New Jersey the Re¬
publican vote shows a falling off.
Maryland, ho deeiures, is now safely
Democratic. Ou the Kentucky elec¬
tion, he Buys:
“The result in Kentucky does not
give any encouragement to the Repub¬
licans. 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 on 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 Nash 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 and condemning the trusts, mili¬
tarism and imperialism, aud he made
a gallant fight against great odds.
Ohio is the home of the president. It
is the home of Mr. Hanna, chairman
of the Republican national committee,
Postmasters all over the United States
were uged to contribute money to save
“Mr. Hanna took the stump himself
aud called upon Republicans to sup-
port the ticket and indorse the policies
of the administration. And yet in
sp.ite of all that could be done, Air.
Hanna’s own couuty was carried ), y
Mr. Jones, and tho Republican party,
which had a majority of nearly fiiiy
thousand in 1896, is now overwhelmed
by a majority approximating fifty
thousand. The Jones voto is anti-
Republican. Air. Jones himself has
made an open fight against Mr. Hanna
nnd his methods and fhe Republican
party has turned its batteries against
Air. Jones and his followers.”
Nebraska Means Much.
Iowa, South Dakota and Kansas re¬
sults are passed over with brief para¬
graphs as uot of leading importance.
In Nebraska he says:
i ; The Nebraska campaign was
fought on national issues and the fu¬
sion candidate for judge received
about 14,000 this year as against
3,000 last year for the fusion candi¬
date for governor aud 13,000 for tho
fusion electors in 1896 and tho fusion
candidate for judge in 1896. Assist¬
ant Secretary of War Meiklejohn came
from AVashington to plead with the
voters to uphold the president's pol¬
icies. Senator Thurston aud Senator
Hayward were on the stump warning
the people not to repudiate the presi¬
dent.
“Senator Fairbanks and other prom¬
inent Republicans from 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 five of the
congressional districts out of six and
lost the remaining district (the fifth)
by only a thousand. The fusionists
FEVER AT PORT TAMPA.
Three Case* Reported and Strict Quaran¬
tine Put On.
A telegram was received at office of
state board of health in Jacksonville,
Saturday, from Dr. L. W. Weedon,
agent of board for Hillsboro county,
announcing one death from yellow fe¬
ver and two cases of the disease at
Port Tampa City. Quarantine was at
once established.
Dr. Porter states that the lateness of
the season precludes any possilde ex¬
tended spread of the disease. No in-
formation wab obtained as to bow the

made a net gain of thres district judges
and a large gain in couuty officers.”
Mr. Bryan continues:
“Taken ns a whole, the election re¬
turns from all the states give encour¬
agement to those who hope for the
overthrow of the Republican party ill
1900. It is evident that those who
believed in the Chicago platform in
1896 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 array to
one hundred thousand, aud it is equal¬
ly certain that upon a direct voto up¬
on the issue a large majority of tho
peoplo would pronounce against H11
imperialistic policy which would de¬
velop here a colonial system after the
patern of European governments.
“If the rebuke administered to tho
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 iilwa 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. Bar an.”
VICE PRESIDENT IMPROVES.

A dispatch from Paterson, N. J.,

ment, reported fatally wounded at
Kimberley, and whoso death was

nephew of Jefferson Davis, president
of the southern confederacy, and a

MAGAZINE BLOWS UP.
Man, Wagon and Horses Reduced
to Atoms, While People a Mile
Off Were Knocked Down.
A magazine used by tbo Bradford
nitro-glycerin factory to store the ex¬
plosive, looatod two and a half mile*
east of Gibsonburg, Ohio, explodod
Mouday afternoon, The shook was
board in towns within a radius of forty
miles and the effects of the oxplositin
in the immediate neighborhood were
territie.
The magazine was. located in the
woods a quarter of a mile from any
dwelling, and this alone prevented
greater loss of life,
Benjamin Card, driver of a stock
wagon, had brought a load of 720
quarts of nitro-glycerin from the fac¬
tory at Bradford and was unloading it
wdieu the explosion occurred. Just
how it happened will never be learned.
Card and the two horses driven by him
received tlio full force of the explosion.
He was blown almost to atoms, only a
few shreds of bis body being found
and pieces of horse flesh were hurled
several miles.
It is supposed thnt Card bad a com¬
panion, but this is not positively
known. The explosion made a hole
seven feet deep in the solid rock and
trees in the vicinity were torn to
splinters. People within a mile of the
place were knocked down, pictures
torn from tbo walls, dishes thrown out
of cupboards, windows shattered and
houses moved from their foundations.
All tlie windows in Oibsonburg were
broken. There were about 1,500
<iuai ts of glycerin on the wagon aud
in the magazine. Card lived in Brad¬
ford, O., and left a family. The shock
was distinctly felt at Tiflin, forty miles
away.

In the Georgia house of representa¬
tives, Thursday, confusion reigned
throughout the entire session over an
ostensible effort to secure the recon¬
sideration of the bill which was de¬
feated Wednesday to move the county
seat of Wilcox county from Abbeville
to Rochelle, but the moving cause in
the disturbance was the general pro¬
hibition bill which lnrked in the im¬
mediate background and menaced tlie
opposition with the threat of coming
into notice, ouoe the other question
was disposed of.
DEWEY WEDDED.

o’clock Thursday morning, The cer¬
emony was performed by the Uev.
James P. Mackiti, pastor of the church,
The ceremony was of the simplest
character, according to the rites of the

Wednesday, Lieutenant Caldwell call¬
ed on Rev. Mackiu, of 8t. Paul’s, of
which church Mrs. Huzeu is a commu¬
nicant, and urrauged for tho wedding
Thursday morning. As Admiral Dew¬
ey is not a Catholic, a special dispen¬
sation was required for the perform¬
ance of tho ceremony and this was
procured from Bishop Curtis, vicar
general of the diocese of Baltimore.
The ceremony consumed less than
five minutes. Congratulations and
felicitation followed and the wedding
party drove directly from tho rectory
to the residence of the mother, Mrs.
McLean, where a wedding breakfast
was served.
After arriving at the McLean resi¬
dence Admiral Dewey was driven to
his own house. There he chnngud his

THE CANDIDATES SATISFIED
Goebel and Taylor Still Confidently Claim
the Victory In Kentucky.
RESIT! IS YET IN DOUBT
The Count of Ballots Proceeds
With Agrnvating Dilatori-

A Louisville special says: The tan¬
gle growing out of last week’s eleotiou
grows worse with each day. This was
the third day of the official count, but
llie work of (ho county boards of can¬
vassers disclosed little information to
clear tho situation. Chairman Long,
of tlie Republican campaign commit-
toe, today repeated his claim of a plu¬
rality of 3,111 for Taylor, based on
official returns from III) and unofficial
returns from the remaining nine. Tho
Democratic papers mid papers here
have ceased to give figures, hut, spe¬
cials from Frankfort quote Candidate
Goebel and other, party leaders as
saying they are confident of tlie suc¬
cess of the Kenton oounty man.
The complexion of the returns to lie
presented to the state board of elec¬
tion commissioners when it meets in
Frankfort next month still depends
upon the determination of the contests

Island Navy Yard.
A goneral reduction of tho force of
the department of construction and
repair at the League Island navy yard
at Philadelphia has been made. Of
the 380 employes 102 have been dis-
charged, and it is believed that more
will follow. Tbo discharged men in-
elude shipwrights, ship fitters, paint-
ers, shipsmiths, joiners, plumbers,
boat builders aud laborers.
Naval Constructor Linnard says the
reason for the cut down is a lack of
funds to keep ail the men employed,
although there is plenty of work for
the full force.
