FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1899.

THE advocates of Bryan, of whom Bryan is the loudest, continue to shout for Bryan.

ME. BRYAN has not yet announced where he will hold his 1900 Chicago convention.

IOWA'S increased Republican majority does not look as though her people feared imperialism.

EVEN nature has turned against the silver orator. The leaveB of the forest have taken on a golden hue.

BRYAN carried Nebraska with his fusion ticket and doubtless feels that he iaB his renominatlon assured. The Republicans make no objection to this.

I

THE Kansas Oity Journal tritely says that President McKinley has not talked aB much during the last month AB haB Colonel Bryan, but that he has said a good deal more that will bear investigation.

COL. BRYAN, who enlisted as a private in the Nebraska regiment and suddenly became colonel of the Third Nebraska, without the slightest knowledge of military affairs, finally resigning as the regiment was ordered to Ouba, now states that he has re enlisted in the cause of free silver.

THE joke of the day here was the election headlines and editorial in the Indianapolis Sentinel which claimed Democratic gainB which the dispatches failed to show. These effusions were ievidently written and set up early in the evening and overlooked in the awful gloom which settled down on the office at midnight.

THE interviewing of soldiers returning from the Philippines has not proceeded so vigorously under yellow and flag-furling journalism, since it has "been made plain that the great majority of American soldiers are patriots vad believe in defending rather than hauling down the flag. This species lof new journalism got its quietus juBt as the Admiral Dewey interviews did upon the arrival ashore of the admiral.

THE New Haven Register calls attention to the principal large Democratic newspapers which are fighting Mr. Bryan's contraction policy, e., supporting the President's Philippine policy on the suppression of the rebellion at all hazards and suggests that with Buch an array of journals against the proposed anti-expansion plank of the Democratic platform, this plank would prove ft greater handicap than free silver did in 18^6, The paperB named are &s follows: Boston Qlobe, Boston Herald, Providence Journal, New Haven Register, New York Times, New York Journal, New York Herald, Brooklyn Eagle, Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia Times, Louisville Courier-Journal, Washington Times, Atlanta Constitution Chicago Chronicle, Galveston Hews, Lexington (Ky.) Herald, Richmond (Va.) Times, Savannah (Ga.) News, Mobile (Ala.) {Register, Cleveland Plaindealer, Albany (N. Y.) Times-Union, Dubuque (la.)iHerald, and the Springfield Daily News

THE EX.ECTJ ON S.

The Republicans have every reason to be pleased and gratified at the result of the election. Although an off year Eubstantial gains were made in many states and the only cause for disappointment is the result in Marylandi where warring Republican factions lost the state. In both Kentucky and Ohio, which states were the centers of interest, the Republicans not^only were successful but made fipl^cgdid gains. In Ohio the Outcome ''was a^surprising as it was gratifying. In thiib state millionaire McLean had /iou red out money like water and jitryan had poured out oratory like wind. A gang of traitorous Republicans, headed by Gov. Bushnell, openly knifed the ticket and an independent Republican candidate for governor, "Golden Rule Jones," drew after him 100,000 deluded sentimentalists.

It appeared that all forces had combined to prevent Republican success, but the result shows not only success but a tremendous gain in theRepublicanvote. There can be but one construction placed on thi6. It is a splendid tribute to the popularity of President McKinley, and a ringing endorsement of his policy arid administration. Gallus old Kentucky, through which Bryan traveled and implored, elects a Republican governor by a majority BO l« -fc that even the infamous Goebel law cnuuui wipe it out. In the other states re­

sults were aB expected, but everywhere the Republicans more tban held their own. Where the contest waxed warm they were signally victorious.

THE action of Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, in locating forest reservations at the headwaterB of the great rivers of the Btate is timely and could well be followed by every other state in the union. Forests are natural reservoirs and the flow of the rivers and water supply of Pennsylvania are threatened by the intensive destruction of the forests. The state authorities declare that a system of forest protection is the state's one hope of preserving its farming interests as well as its water supply. In the west large tracts of government land have been Bet aside as forest reserves and this action though antigonized at first, is now heartily commended by all. In fact the west, which is largely dependent upon irrigation, is vitally interested in forest preservation, since the river flows are directly dependant upon these natural reservoirs.

NASH AND M'LEAN

Unofficial Figures oi Vote for Governor in Ohio.

the

REPUBLICAN PLURALITY

Of Fifty Thousand Shown by the Returns—Goebel Claims His XHeotion in Kentucky by 5,000 and. the Taylorites Claim to Have Won by 8,000.

News From Other States. Columbus, O., Nov. 9.—The statisticians at the Republican headquarters have beeu busy endeavoring to secure some accurate figure on the plurality of Judge Nash, the Republican candidate for governor, ana an unofficial table of pluralities by counties has been completed. This shows that in 57 oounties Nash (Rep.) has 34,399 over McLean (Dem.), and in 31 counties MoLean has 84,035 over Nash. This gives Nash, over McLean, in the state 60,364. It is not believed the official returns will make any important change in these figures.

No figures are available on the total vote in the state, as the committee haa sought to. obtain only.pluralities. Notwithstanding efforts were made to get the vote for Jones, returns have been secured from only 40 of th6 88 counties. These include the counties ih which the heaviest Jones vote was polled and show a total of 84,000. The remaining counties will swell the Jones vote to 100,000.

KENTUCKY

Result Will Probably tend in Contest Whichever Party Wins. /J. Louisville, Nov. 0.—No matter what result the face of the returns of Tuesday's election show, a contest is very likely to occur. Additional returns received continue to show Republican gains, and basing an estimate upon the normal complexion of the precincts still unreported indicate a plurality of 6,000 or 8,000 for W. S. Taylor for governor. The belated returns are mostly from mountain counties, which are strongiy Republican. The Eleventh district, which iu 1896 gave McKinley a plurality of 19,000, is only about half reported. Eleven .out of nineteen counties in this district give Taylor pluralities aggregating 12,062, indicating'tliar the Republicans have carried the district by about the same figures as in 1890.

The Goebel people cling to their claim of a plurality of 5,000 in the state, these figures being the estimate made by the nominee himself last night.

At Republican heanquarters in this city Taylor's plurality is placed at 8,000. In neither case is it possible to get the figures upon which the claim is based, each side evidently fearing that giviug publicity to the reports of its agents throughout the state might work to the advantage of its opponent in the event of a contest.

Iu view of the probability of a contest over the vote for governor, this statement, made by Chairman Long of the Republican campaign committee at 11 o'clock last night, is significant: "The legislature is close, but I think we have lost both houses. From semiofficial returns from all oounties except 12, and careful estimates from these, we have carried the state by 8,000 plurality for Taylor,"

In the event of a contest it will como before the legislature.

BliADLKY BAYONETS

Have no Terror i'or Senator Goebel of Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 9. Senator Goebel arrived here at 8 o'clock last night and was met at the train by a crowd of 1,500 enthusiastlo followers. From the balcony of the Capital Hotel where his headquarters is located Mr. Goebel made a speech in which he said. "1 believe I have been elected, in fact I know I have. I see my friend, General Taylor says he will assume the office of governor. All I have to say is if I have been elected, as I believe, I will be inangurated|in spite of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and Bradley bayonets."

Ex-Senator Joe Blockburn also spoke1 claiming Goebel's election by a slender majority, and calling on the people to see to it that he is seated.

Chairman Edmiston, of the Fusion state central oommittee, insists that S. A. Holcomb is elected judge of the supreme court by 15,000, probably more. The Republican committee htvs gi^en up the fight.

THE DARKEST PAGE

OF The Transvaal'War Now Being Written Says The Vlillitary Experts.

THE DEFENSIYE WORKS

At Estcourt and Pietermartzburg Strengthened by the' British—Reinforcement Ready to March on Col-

Boers Withdraw, Leaving

Outposts Near Laaysmnn.

London, Nov. 9.—In the eyes of military experts the darkest page of the war is now being written. But even that is illuminated with bright passages, such as General White's victorious sorties. If he can keep the British flag flying over Ladysmith until he is relieved, the oampaign will turn a fresh page, and with the advance of Sir Redvers Buller's force the British publio is promised much cheerful reading.

This feeling of relief inspired by recent good tidings is nevertheless tinged by a certain arxiety lest General White should again make some fatal miscalculations involving a repetition of the Nicholson's Nek disaster.

At Estcourt and Pietermaritzburg the defensive works have been greatly strengthened within the last few days, and they are now believed capable of holding their own against any Boer force which General Joubert would at the present juncture risk sending against either town. Both are likely to be strengthened before the week is out by a further naval force and even by the first detachmont of General Buller's army corps.

None of the troopships*has arrived. The one which it was predicted might reach Cape Town at the earliest on Monday is as yet unannounced, and even when it does arrive there, it will have three days' steaming to reach Durban. As many as six transports, with 4,500 troops, were expected to be in Cape Town harbor by this time, but the war office has issued a statement to the effect that the only arrivals at Cape Town were the Sumatra from Durban, with wounded the Southern Cross from Gibraltar, with mules, and the collier Wenvoe.

Most Interesting News..

The most interesting news is a dispatch from Estoourt announcing the departure of a strong force of mounted troops and artillery for destination not given in the advices, Another message announces the arrival at Estcourt and Piertemaritzburg within the last few days of reinforcements from Durban and that 8,500 troops are assembled ready for an advance to Colenso when the opportune moment arrives. The latter dispatch throws light upon the former, and the force which left Estcourt Monday has doubtless re-occupied Colenso and possibly is now advancing cautiously up the railroad toward Ladysmith, General White's sortie of Friday, almost to the banks of Tugela river, encouraging its commander in the hope of joining hands with him.

General Joubert, Jho latest advices would indicate, drew in his horns after Friday's engagement, and lias since withdrawn the southern Boer contingents, leaving only outposts on the line from Ladysmith to Colenso. The Boers who oooupied Colenso about the middle of last week retired without damaging Buhver bridge over the .Tuguia river or the railroad as far north as the village of Nelthrope, seven miles south of Ladysmith. Evidently they nurse a hope of eventually utilizing both in their descent on Pietermaritzburg.

Situation Brighter at Mafeking. The situation looks brighter at Mafeking, where the Boers are apparently disheartened at the unexpected resistance, a large body of their force having been detached to the south to assist iu the investment of Kimbcrley, around which the cordon is drawing tighter. Evidently the Boers intend to make a concentrated effort to capture Kimberley and that arch enemy, CoHl Rhodes.

The reported departure of a Boer contingent from Pretoria, with German artillery gunners moving in southerly direction is taken to mean co-operation in the invasion of the northern part oi Cape Colony, an undertaking which, thus far, has not progressed very rapidly.

Reports of a treacherous iise of the white flag by the Boers, comiug from native sources, are not received with complete credulity, but at the same time their reiteration is making an unfavorable impression. One paper asks sarcastically whether President Kruger's reference iu his message to America to "staggering humanity" meant the Boer use of the white flag.

May Be Extended to the Gulf. Chicago, N9V. 9.—Farther progress in the movement to extend the deep waterway from the terminus of the new Chicago drainage canal to the Gulf of Mexico was made yesterday at a session of the executive committee of the Illinois River Valley association. Organization was completed for influencing congress to make appropriations for the engineering accomplishments necessary by the appointment of an legislative oommittee, which will have charge of the active work' before the rivers and harbor committee in congress this winter.

FOUR DAYS

Without Food, Lashed to the Rigffinj of a Wrecked Schooner. Gloucester, Mass., Nov. S.—The Italian bark Salvatore. which arrived here' yesterday from Traparii, Italy, had on board Captain A. T. Dyer and{the shipwrecked crew of seven men of the sohooner William E. Downes of New Haven, bpuna from Savannah to New Haven with lumber.

Captain Dyer reported leaving Savannah Oct. 26 and meeting a gale Oot. 80, during which the vessel began to show signs of leaking. The shifting of the deckload opened the seams and that night she was full of water with deoks awash, compelling the men to tak« to the rigging, where they lodged themselves. For four days lashed to the rigging and exposed to the elements and practically without food, the men passed a harrowing existence. The storm raged for two days and in that tune al} they had to eat was a few cans of condensed milk and b§ef.

At the end of the fourth day the bark Salvatore was sighted and signals of distress were hoisted. The bark mada down for the distressed vessels and effected their rescue, it being a dangerous piece of work, as another easterly gale had just begun blowing.
