BRUNSWICK, GA. THURSDAYuMORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1900. BRANTLEY ON THE ELECTION When asked for an expression on the result of the national election Con gressman Brantley dictated the following to a Tihus-Cail representative last night: "The result of the presidential election it a distinct and decided disappoint ment. The startling faot is before us that a majority of the people have voted to retain in power a party that staods for government outside of the Constitution, for a grsat standing army, and under whose administration the trusts have grown stronger and more powerful than in any period of the worid’f hhjfeory. This vote must be constraed by the party in ppwor as,.endorsing the things for which it stands. It seems to me, therefore, that thoughtful citizens, when they look upon what has been done, and the approval, giwu To it, must view th**future with ap prehension, lam not a pessimist and I hope for the txsit: My confidence in patriotismof the people when that patriotTgjh'u aroused is supreme. There is nothing for us to do except continue the fight against imperialism, againstllin tarism and against renewed and increasing vigor. It may he that a determined sod aggrtsslA warfare against these, evils, continued without in termission, wj!l result in changing the policy of the administration, and, If not. it thihipr vro have sought to point out this year will have been seen, the conscience of the peoplo will have been quickened, their patriotism will have asserted the resulfctkatHhe republican party tof power by an outraUd people. To believe is to is doomed. % -T •'ln this campaign, the dangers panted out by the democraf||party been 8 seeming upon Mr: Bryan’s election. The .lingers we have potaigS out have evidently not seemed immediate to UM(iiy of the people, and no Inquiry has been made mas to or net the Hor false. Time will demonstrate the or non-exi ß tencfc-oi>;|e dangers, and the stability or unetabitity of the seeming jjrqaperity.’i The work of the democratic party has not ended; upon the contrary, its mission te urgent than nm We should aocept the M look with confidence lo%e *hd popular governaea*.- VM. de mocracy has this year made. f “* "I am Loth flattere! and pleased the vote given me in the Eleventh Dis trict. The msjority here is rsfreshlng and encouraging when we turn from the disaster that has befallen democracy throughout the country at large. "But for the vigilance of the democratic leaders in the several counties of the district and the active campaign that has been conducted and . the earnest effort* of our newspapers, we would have been caught napping in some of our counties. The opposition made no show of a fight, and yet their organization was well per fected, and they polled thdlr full strength. They came near catching ns out in more than one county by their silent and secret methods, which lured many of onr people into the bflief that no opposition existed, and they did thus succeed in cut -lng down ouv vote in these counties. “The voth in Glynn county is exceedingly gratifying. Almost the fuji white vote was polled, and less than half a dozen white votes were cast against me.’’ BRYAN bTy GO TQ THE uIteIsTM ell Linooln, Neb , Nov. 7.—The Bryan state managers this afternoon in formed him that the Nebraska legielstuie was safely fusion and now they propose to have the legislature eieot him to the United States senate to suc ceed Senator Thurston. THAT SECRET WORK. Some of tbe Underhanded Methods of tbe Republicans. The silent, secret workings of tbe republican candidate against Con gressman Brantley threw thousands of demoorats in this distriot off their guard, and caused them to believe that there was no opposition to democracy’s brainy standard bearer. Below is given tbe contents of s postal oard received by Congressman Brantley from Coffee county, wbioh demonstrates the seoretness with which tbe republicans worked, and tbe result-in Coffee, 142 majority for the republican oendidate, shows bow effectively this quiet work threw the democrats off their guard. The oard reads: Hon. W. G. Brantley, Brunswick Ga.: Dear Sir—Lookout! There is a man running against you for Congress up here. I think be lives at Fitzgerald; don’t remamber his name. I thought I would tell yon about it as you would not be likely to find it out unless some of your friends put yon “on to’’ it. I tbink we will bring out a good vote np here. 10 PAY HEIRS, Washington, Nov. 7. —Honduras has agreed to comply immediately with the United States’ demands for pay ment of SIO,OOO indemnity for the death of Frank Pears of Pittsbrug, who was murdered by a soldier of tbe HoDdurian army in cold blood.

SILVER ISSUE NOW DEAD AND BURIED JONEBGRUSHED OVER DEFIAI Ho Will Go Homo—The Question Now Is, Who Will bo Loader of the Party in 1904 ? Cbioago, Nov. 7.—The talk of a re organization of the demooratl party in this oity is rife, and the mutteriogs against Jones and Bryan arebeooming pronounced even at tbii early date. The oity of Chicago waa last night turned into a bedlam. Before mid night men and women, blowing horns and shouting for McKinley, paraded the streets in hordes. Many ot both saxes were hilariously drunk, end the * demoastrstioa was unprecedented even in tha Windy City. It continued until daylight. His defeat has oost Mr. Bryan many friends already, and they are now seeking another leader. The “I-told you-ao” individual made his appear* anee at headquarters early, and the rebellion agalnet the Nebraskan is pronounoed. The diseatisfled are cry ing “Silver, silver I" in earcsstlo and unpleasant tone*. Chairman Jones, who has given up earlier this year than in 1890, ii broken in spirit, and feels tbe defeat keenly. He will seek the seclusion of his Arkansas home be foro venturing to Washington. Mr.. Bryan is bearing up well, but be thor oughly realizes that be oac never be president. He may be prevailed npon to go to the senate, but his mind now is evidently turned toward for a time at least, though be may have several offers of a business nature within tbe next day or ao. Senator Jones la thoroughly tired and wornout, and will surely give up the leadership of the party to make way for reorganization. Tbe leaders at democratio headquarters declare the silver Issue defeated Mr. Bryan, The people, they say, rejected the free silver in 1890 with emphasis, and re sented tbe effort to keep up the agita tion of a question considered settled. Chairman l’ayne, of the republican committee at Chicago, says that tbe victory is oomplete, and that Bryanism and silver are dead. The South is alone firm lor them, and the people of tbe country stand for MoKinley, sound money, and expansion. If tho demo cratio party can be reorganized on pa triotic lines, we msy have a reunited oountry. The loss of tbe house of rep- Continued on Fonrth Page.
