BRYAN DISCUSSES THE ELECTION RESULTS
New York Journal
Lincoln Nob November 0 The elec-
tions of 1897 indicate dissatisfaction with
republican pollclea and presage tho over-
throw of tho republican party They aioo
Indlcmto that tho boiling democrats can-
not long maintain a separate organization
and must either go over to tho republicans
or return to the regular democratic party
and accept tho platform adopted at Chi-
cago in 1896
In Ohio tho homo of tho president as
well ax tho homo of Mrt Hanna chairman
of the republican National committee the
republican majority was almost reduced
onebait and tbo legislature Is closo Cer-
tainly In Ohio If anywhere republican
might bavo expected to hold their own but
Instead of doing no they have showed a
distinct loss in splto of tbo fact that they
bad an nibundanco of money for campaign
purposes and an organization ns complote
as last year tcRether with the Interested
aid wf tboso who havo received offico nt the
hands of tho administration or expect of-
fice
THn RESULT IN KENTUCKY
In Kentucky tho democrats carried tbo
Stato by tibout 20000 uud secutcd a good
Wotklng majority In tho legislature not
withstanding tho efforts put forth by the
republicans and tho gold democrats
In Iowa tho republican majority was cut
down almost onotolf nnd large demo-
cratic gilna wero made In tho legislature
now Ithstandlng tho fact that a heavy to
was polled for an off yeat In Iennsyl
ajila nnd Massachusetts the republican
majorities weto largely reduced In Vir-
ginia tho democrats made decided gains cu
tho Stato ticket and In tho legislature In
by
ebrAska l thc fusion plurality will exceed crats last year and tho republicans are not
my plmullty of last y ir notwithstanding
a eoikwldcmblo deoieafco lu tho total voto
Tho poroeutago or vote cast by tho sllvtr
fortm lit Nubiuwka la greater than ever
before
In the States abovo mentioned Uzs Ohio
Kentucky lovu Pennsylvania Massachu-
setts Virginia and Nebraska the democrats
reaffirm tho posltloh taken In tho Chlotgo
platform and In each of these Stntra tho
tepubllcins discussed National Issues and
pointed out that democratic gain was
strengthening tho Chicago platform Wo
huvo u tight therefore to claim tho politi-
cal advantage which thoy foicsaw and tried

rovonlWHAT
WHAT N13W YOKK DID
In New York tho democratic gains were
so great that tho democratic candldato for
Judgo of tho court of appeals ovetcamo
tho cnormoiH majority of kil t > car and was
elected by over C000U majority Tho dem-
ocrats nlKo made gains In Now ork City
and in tho Now York Now Jorsey and
Miryhtml legislatures I am not suffi-
ciently cicnuAlnted with tho local situation
In Now York City nnd In Now York New
Jersey and Maryland to bo ablo to Judge
how far tho galno havo strengthened the
Chicago platform
Tho small olo polled by tho gold dem
ocratn last year wua explained b > tho usser
tlcn that most of tho gold democrats otod
tho republican tlokil l it this year In Sev-
ern States a spiclal effort was inado b >
the gold ilemoeratji to poll a largo voto
In order to glvo theli party a mamllng I11
public estimation This was specially truo
In Nebraska Iowia Kentucky and Massa-
chusetts ExSeciuUry J Sterling Morton
mulo a hpecch at tho Stato convention of
tho gold doiniacrats 1n which ho asserted
that there had been a largo increase in his
paitya fctrcngth and that tho gold demo
eiats would K > I 25000 votes In Nebraska
this year In oider ta bring out a full vote
ho conscntcd to bo a candldato for regent
of tho Statu university and the chairman
of tho gold demttcrntia convention made
tho raco for supremo Judge
Tho returns aro not complete but suffl
clint Is ktiown to mako It ceitnln that tho
told democracy cundldato for supreme
Juilgo did not pjll olieluilt of 1 per cmt
of tbo voto of tho Stato leas than half as
many otm ns tho pait polled Hst car
ExSrcretary Morton notwuthstnndlng hla

COLD DEMOCRATS TAlLUItES
In Iown Congressman Pattcmou and
Bimm canvassed tho Stato ln tho Interest
or tho gold dcniciats and jet tho gold
dcmldoraia candhlnto tor governor only
polled about 2000 moro than the party
lulled last joir or a llttlo moro than 1
per cent of tho vote of tho State In Ken
tuck where perhaps tho hardest fight
was madu by tho gold democrats lu order
to vindicate Mr Carlisle and tho Courier
Journal tho candid tto of tho gold demo-
crats only polled about 10000 votes In
Massachusetts ko distinguished a man as
exCongressman Everett running for gov
ernor on tho gold ticket iiollod less than
onellflh ns many votes as Ooorgo Trod
WHltunis who mado an aggressive tight for
tha Chicago platfatm
Iho republicans fought their campaign
this cir under the most favorable clicum
stnuces Congretu was culled together ln
oxtrnordlnary session and tho Dlngley bill
wm passed Tnctorles which wero closed
during the perlcil of uncertainty as to the
anodules wero opcucd up when the law
was Anally passed and tho rates positively
bxed merchants who had pwtponed pur
oaasis for tho samo reason replenished
their Blocks nnd tho tnctropolltun news
Pipew uultol In heralding a return of
prospcrlt Slnco everybody was anxious
for prosperity to return no matter what
party brought It many were Inclined to
glvo tho republican party further tlmo to
demonstrate tho sueews or failure of Its
pollcllcs Ktpubllcans who bello > o In 4 high
tariff as vcll as ln tllvor wero waiting
to seo tho Dlngley law tested ltepuhll
cans who were ln favor of International bi
metallism raw In the sending of tho eom

platform nnd were loath to glvo up hoim
riven when Just beforo tho elcotlon Eng
Hnd tctuscd to coopernto Tho short crop
abrud brought a sudden rise In wheat
and tho republicans seized upon It and
paraded It beforo tho public as If It wore
Uio result of republican policies or refuta
tion cf tho arguments against Uio gold
standard
In aplto of theso advantages tho republt
can part has failed to hold Its own and
the sentiment in favor of tho Chicago plat
farm cc ntlnucs to grow
Tho Dlngley law was the only nftlrmttlvo
remedy offered by tho republican party to
relieve existing conditions The republi
can platform of last year said We renew
and cmphjalzo our allegiance tA tho policy
e rrotcc ton ru n bulwark of American In

leaders and republican papers are contin-

the voters do not seem to havo received

of last Tuesday
Tho price of sugar rose because tho Su-
gar Trust was allowed to dictate tho augar
schedule of tho Dlngley bill but tho con-
sumers of sugar havo not been able to
obtain any of the edantagcs which the
bill brought to tho trust The commercial
reports point to an advancement of woolen

Since 1881 wo have alternated presidents

thliteen and onohnlf millions declaud
themselves against tho gold atnndaid and
in favoi of a doublo standard lly sending
a commlwlon to Europe Mr McKinle ad-
mitted the gold standard to be unsatisfac
tory I appropriating 100000 to pay the
expenses of tho commission the republican
congrctB confessed itself desirous of get
ting rid of tho gold standard
The commission found Trance willing to
abandon tho gold standard conclusive
proof that tho gold standard has not been
aatlBfactoiy to Trance In England tho
capitalistic classes wero opposed to making
any concessions to bimetallism thus prov
ing that Independent blmetalllsts wero
right Inst fall In asserting that tho contest
between gold monometallism and bimetal
llfcm In a eontii between tho money power

shall n well known advocato of the gold
standard will n hi weekly financial ar
ticle In tho Sun tomorrow say
What a clearsighted
observer suapect
ed and feared has become a certainty
Th6 vlct6ry of tho gold atandaril in 18DS
has shown Itself to havo bocn Indeclslvo
not only In form but also ln tho number
of votes it received Nos till the last mo-
ment Indeed did the republican leaders
consent In 1896 to admit tho mention of
gold into tho party plaUfown and they
explicitly avowed thelt willingness 10 ac
cept silver as a monetary standard Jointly
with gold provided tho other commercial
nations of the world would do the fcamo
Fortunaitcly tbo democrats came out
squarely for silver without tho aid or con
sent of any nation and thus forced tho
voters to choose between the Immediate
addition of silver and a future adoption
of It under hypothetical conditions
By what strenuous efforts tho Imme-
diate free colnago of sliver at the ratio of
16 to 1 was defeaiod ln 1800 will bj re-
membered by all and tbo loso voto of
7100000 against it to 6500000 for It Is a
matter of record That the stlvcrltw were
fully justified by tho result ln continu-
ing their fight Tuesdays elections also
ptovc Now York City has by an enor-
mous majority declaied itself at lcatt
ludlftirtnt In tho controversy wocroas
a car ago It voted by almost as lirgu a
majority against silver New York State
has though less decisively also exhibited
a change lu Its tamper Ohio which a
car ago went overwhelmingly against tho
ttllvcr candidate Is this year ln doubt
nnd may posulbl mod a silver senator to
Washington on next March Kentucky has

same territory was nalnat It In ISil Mr
liiynu exults nnd p diets tUccss for sil-
ver In 1000 H6w many voles wero paired
for tho republican candidate In 1896 by
the exprcse promise of tho party to main-
tain the gold standard only until an inter-
national bimetallic agreement could bo ob-
tained and by the obligation It appar
ently assumed to accept silver as soon as
the effort to redeh such an agreement defi-
nitely failed it is Impossible to say but
their number must havo been considerable
now that the event ln view has happened
and Europe under tho lead of Great
Ilritnln has refused to make tho agree-
ment to tbo promotion of which the St
Louis convention pledged Itself the re-
publicans must como out unequivocally
either for sliver or for gold and lfaa Is
moit probable they come out for gold the
question whether tho majority of the vot-
ers will sustain them ln doing so Is one
which will be answered It not by the
elections of lSHS then by thoso of 1900
After discussing tho prospects of cur
rency reform and changes affecting tho
revenue of the country at the noxt ses-
sion of congress the article continues
Underlying thcto financial problems Is
that of quieting tho everlasting discontent
of mankind with Its lot and its inerndlcnl
propensity to throw tho blamo of tho
hardships of which It complains upon de
fects In tho existing social order Iho
speeches mado to tho thousands who gath
ered a week ago to do honor to tho mem-
ory of Henry Georgo had this ono burden
It was Uio wrongfulness of tbo present
unequal allotment of tho good things of
this world nnd the need of correcting it
b legislation Henry George was charac
torbed as a hero a patriot and a mar
tyr becauso ho had earnestly and eloquent
ly advocated tho confiscation of land val-
ues nnd their appropriation to tho use of
the people Tho speakers wero encouraged
not only by tbo loudly expressed applauso
of tho crowd they addressed but b tho
presenco of eminent clergmen lawyers
and politicians showing that tho senti-
ments they uttercd wero not those of the
poor nnd Ignorant only but of Intelligent
and well educated As yet these senti-
ments have Inspired nothing more aggres
sho than laws aimed agalnst trusts mm
blnntlons and other machinery supposed
to bo contrived for the robbery of the
pcor but how far thoy will carry those
who entertain them In their war against
tho possessors of wealth is a problem
which some futuro will solve
