IN gleeful anticipation of this glad day we last week clipped from the Rockville Tribune the following little section of an interview with Vory Brookshire: •'Our old congressman was warmly greeted by his former supporters in Parke county. He is firmly convinced that Mr. Bryan will receive 8,000,000 votes next Tuesday and will be elected by an ovor^ no tiling majority.

THK foliy r-cratchlng a ticket is shown in one precinctin Franklin township and one in I'nion. In the former twenty-six Republican voters attempted to vote for Or Peacock for coroner on the Democratic ticket and spoiled their tickets, which necessitated in throwing them out. In precinct. 10, Union township. sixteen llepublican voters attempted to tcratch in favor of Ira Snyder, for sheriff on the Democratic county ticket, and spoiled their tickets, causing them to be thrown out. In a close election such ini-informat'on would be verv disastrous.

HOW WE HAVE GKOWN. "A Century of International Commerce" is the title of an article contributed to the November number of the North American Review by Mr. O. P. Austin, chief of the United States bureau of statistics. Mr. Austin points out that, while the population ot the worldjhas increased during the past hundred years one hundred and fifty per cent., international trade has grown more than a thousand per cent. This svonderfull development of commerce Mr. Austin traces to five great causessteam, electricity, invention, finance and peace, The United States have well performed their part in this vast movement—their commerce having risen from $102,000,000 to $2,000,000,000. Referring to the influence of invention upon trade, Mr. Austin says: "The cotton gin, which has but begun to make itself felt at the beginning of the century, the reaping and threshing machines, by which labor of grain producing isr greatly reduced, the application of machinery in mining operations and the handling of the product of the mines, the engines—those powerful and intricate machines—which transport the merchandise to the seaboard, and the railways on which they run, the steamships, the* screw propeller, the iron and steel vessels and the thousands of articles from the factory which form an important part of the cargoes which they carry—all these are the inventions of the century, and all have contributed greatly to the producing and transporting power of man, and consequently to the mult plication of the commodities which he .produces and exchanges."

HOWL, YOU IlOW LKIW. Atchison Globe: Howl you Populist. Curse the blamed trusts and then the minute you get $10 ahead send in an order to Montgomery Ward, Sears, Roebuck, etc., and help support one of the greatest trusts in the country. What if you get your goods a trille cheaper—that is what the trusts claim to do. They crush out competition by their low prices, and if you take the benefit you simply sustain them in their contention. Every dollar sent to mail order houses is just that much toward building up trusts. Montgomery Ward is not a philanthrophist in any sense ot the word. lie is a shrewd business man who, by judicious advertising, hasbuilt up a trust that bids fair to wreck the majority of small towns. If you desire this send them your cash and get credit of your home merchants and denounce the trusts. Let your actions speak for you and preach what you practice.

Century in 1901 will liave'aseries

of articles on "Railroads and Railroad Men." The author, Major Charles DeLano Hine, is a graduate of West Point, who resigned as an officer of the army to become a freight brakeman, from which position he rose through various grades to that of general superintendent, besides finding time to serve as an officer of volunteers in the Santiago campaign. Major Hine is now in the service of the interstate commission as a railroad expert, and has exceptional opportunities for obtaining information.

THE loss of the board of township trustees is the only lly in the Republican ointmentin Montgomery county. in several towships the Democrats openly traded Bryan for the Democratic candidate for trustee and wore tickled when a trade could be found.

The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow, And what will "Doc" Hickman do then? He will like to a barn to keep himself warm. And hide his head under his wlnt l'oor thing!

Queen Margaret's Model. An Associated Press dispatch from London says:

Henry Labourchere says the model of Qu.en Margaret of Italy, when she was a young woman, was Mrs. G. P. Marsh, the wife of the then American minister at Turin, and she grew really to resemble Mrs. Marsh, 'and is a perfect copy of her in beaming graciouaness of manner and patient courtesy.' Queen Margaret, he adds, studied at the legation with a niece of Mrs. Marsh, Miss Caroline Crane, who invited the then princess to do so because she was so much neglected."

Miss Caroline Crane, the young lady mentioned in the article, has often visited here and her death by the wreck of the Schiller will be remembered by man v. I

Pretty Home Wedding.

An unusually pretty autumnal wedding was that of James W. Miller and Grace 10. Oppy, which was celebrated at 7:.'!0 o'clock last Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. anu Mrs. Geo. Oppy. The house was a veritable bower of beauty with decorations consisting of chrysanthemums, smilax and various shades \f autumn leaves. The chrysanthemums were of white and yellow shades and were displayed with pleasing elTect in vases and from wall baskets as unique as they were pretty. The corner of the parlor in front of which the ceremony was performed, was heavily banked with palms, evergreens and white chrysanthemums. Just above the altar were two hearts ^entwined together with smilax and dotted with small white chrysanthemums. Miss Gertrude Miller presided at the piano and at the hour appointed softly begun the wedding march from Mendelssohn to which the contracting parties entered the parlor attended by Mr. Charles Oppy and Miss Belle Watts. Rev. Postil, of Wingate, pronounced the wedding service in his usual p'e-.sant manner. The fair young bride was attired in a pretty gown of white brocaded silk with white satin yoke, gilt and lace trimmings. The witnesses to the ceremony included sixty of the relatives and nearest friends, and having received their congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Miller led the way to the dining room where a choice wedding supper was served. They received many beautiful presents.

November 1st Mr. and Mrs. James G. Miller tendered the bridal couple a reception, and about one hundred friends took advantage of the opportunity to pay their respects and extend congratulations and best wishes. The day was most pleasantly spent with a fine dinner, music and social talks. The crowd departed in the evening to their respective homes all wishing the bride and groom a lone- and peaceful life.

On Friday night a crowd of seventyfive young and old gave the bride and groom a charivari. They were entertained with music, games and plays.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller are now at home to their many friends with the groom's parents until spring when they will then commence housekeeping. Prosperity and happiness be their lot.

ELECTED

The Nation's Chief Indorsed By the Voice of the People.

A DECISIVE VICTORY

Bepublicaiis Gain the Contest at the Cost of Reduced Pluralities.

President McKinley Will Serve the Nation Four Years More In Its Highest Seat.

New York, Nov. 7.—It became evident at very early hour last evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was assured. At half past eight o'clock returns from nearly twothirds of the election districts of Greater New York had been received, Indicating beyond question that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30,000 plurality In this Democratic stronghold, and unless there was a landslide in the outside counties beyond all reasonable expectation, the pivotal state of New York had declared In unmistakable terms, although by a greatly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates. As the night progressed it only served to confirm this judgment. The returns from Illinois betrayed a like condition. The Republican plurality of 1890 was greatly reduced, but It was till far too large to be overcome.

On the other hand the rotunrs from Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska. seemed to Indicate strong Republican gains over 1S96. Delaware. Maryland and West Virginia had given decisive Republican pluralities.

The count in several of the far western states was naturally so delayed a^, to give little indication of the outcome theiv4 but they had ceased to have a determining effect and before 10 o'clock tho Democratic leaders had given up the contest, and it was announced lhat Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep.

The whole story was easily and briefly told. The Republican ticket would have a larger elcctural vote than four years ago. but in the larger states of the east, and middle west, the pluralities had been jrreatly reduced.

Massachusetts had fallen from 174,000 to r.O.nno: New York from 208.000 to 150.000 and Illinois from 142,000 to 00.000 or less.

MCKINLEY HEARS IT

The Executive Mansion the Scene of a Spirited GatheringCanton, 0., Nov. 7.—President McKinley received tho election returns last night at his home, surrounded by a large number of his old friends and neighbors including many ladles who came as the guests of Mrs. McKinley, to share with her the interest and excitement of this culminating event of the campaign. Direct wires connected the house with the Republican National headquarters at New York and at Chicago, with Senator Uanna at tho Union club in Cleveland, and with the home of Gov. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, so that the president was In constant. telegraphic touch with his associate on the ticket and with the campaign leaders. 1 ho president made his headquarters In his library where most of the gentlemen guests congregated while Mrs. McKinley entertained the ladies in the parlor. The president was in his usual good humor, showing no signs of anxietv over tho result and acceptin_ wnn unruffled composure the favorable reports which began to come In at an early hour. Secretary Cortelyou read most of tho 'dispatches, some of the more cheering announcements bein heartily applauded by the guests.

The responsible leaders made no early claims, however, although their dispatcher told of gains at many points and breathed the spirit of victory near at hand.

President McKinley received a tremendous ovation from his townspeople nt 12:30 and addressed them briefly from his porch.

HAILS HIS CHIEF

Gov. Roosevelt Sends Con{»ratula« lions to the President. New York, Nov. 7.—Governor Roosevelt, surrounded by his family, last night received tho returns at his homo on Sagamore Ilills. The governor at no time during the evening seemed anxious about the result. He did not make any special arrangements to receive the news and depended on messages to be brought from the telegraph office nearly three miles away.

The first definite Information of the Republican victory was conveyed to the governor about 10 o'clock. The governor was in the receptionroom with his wife and daughter. When he appeared at the door to meet the newspaper correspondent he was clad In full evening dress. He invited his visitor Into the parlor and closely scrutinized the returns and briefly commented on

the result. After reading the message he said: "Isn't that fine. It shows what the American people are. It shows that they want good times to continue and are In favor of honest money and for the flag."

The governor at ones dictated the following dispatch to President McKinley: To President William McKinley, Canton, O.:

I congratulate you and far more the nation. You have my heartfelt gratitude over the result.

REPUBLICANS FEAST

National Committee Rooms Thronged With Enthusiastic Partisans. New York, Nov. 7.—An enthusiastic crowd of Republicans thronged the Republican national lieadfluarters last night. Three hundred and forty had been asked to sit down to a feast which had been provided by the national committee.

By 10 o'clock all the rcioms and hallways were crowded with men who chattod and laughed and jostled each other and moved here and there Carrying tidings.

When it was anounped that National Committeeman P&yhe had telephoned from Chicago that Chairman ^Tones of the Democratic national committee had conceded Illinois and Indiana to McKinley a great shout went up.

Senator Scott of West Virginia sent the folio wins telegram to Senator Hanna: "Shake. Old Llmpy, shake/'

The reply was as follows: "Telegram received. I am not limping as much as I did. Congratulations to you all. HANNA."

At 10 o'clock both the national and state headquarters were crowded to their utmost capacity. The crowd staid for a while but about 11 o'clock commenced to go and by 11:30 had nearly all left, thinking it not necessary to fcear any more returns.

BRYAN TOOK A NAP

The Candidate Slept While Early Ke» turns Were Cominsr In. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.—Mr. Bryan received election returns at his resl* dence in this city. His house wae fairly overrun by newspaper men and telegraph operators. Not only

as the

first floor of his house largely given up to them, but two of the rooms in the second story, where four telegraph wires were run Into the house. Mr. Bryan took his dinner at a little after 6 o'clock, and after partaking of the meal, spent a few minutes in conversation with the newspaper men, referring to the bulletins received and asking some questions, but without venturing any opinion upon the figures. After receiving the earlier returns in his library, Mr. Bryan retired to his private apartments, which were provided with a special wire. Both he and Mrs. Bryan were in cheerful mood. At S:30, when the newspaper men sought to secure a statement from Mr. Bryan they were told that he had just gone to sleep and could not be disturbed. When he retired to his own room he glanced over the returns with apparent Interest, and then expressing a desire to make up some of the rest he had lost in the past few weeks, lay down and was asleep in less than five minutes. He had slept an hour in the afternoon, after which he went for a horseback ride to his farm. He did not, however, feel recuperated, and therefore sought additional rest, thus manifesting probably less concern than hundreds of thousands of his followers..

At 11 o'clock Mr. Bryan awoke. Ho then told the newspaper correspondents that he would have no statement to make before today.

After this assurance the visitors to the' house withdrew and soon afterward the lights 'were extinguished and tho house presented 'no signs of animation.

Iiondon Comments.

Loudon. Nov. 7.—The morning papers went to press too early to be In a position to comment on tho result but all published editorials and elaborate dispatches, depicting the progress of the contest. All are Impressed by the comparative fewness of disorders. The Daily Chronicle says: "Considering the excitement over the enormous electoral area the tranquility of this great contest is remarkable." The Standard says: "There can be no reasonable doubt that President McKinltey has been re-elected. The isolated cases of tumult should serve only to emphasize the admirable spirit and common citizenship with which the people of the republic play their part in the engrossing struggle for mastery. It is significant that racial animosity was the cause of the worst conflict." The Standard goes on to express the frankest satisfaction over the success of McKinley, adding: "This success ensures the continuance of stability in money matters and no change in the foreign policy of the

United States. Tho triumph of Mr. Bryan would have been felt everywhere as heralding a sharp reversal of policy, a policy which has made tha United States a powerful and energetic member of the great family of nations. Continuity of control at Washington Is a guarantee of peace and in this sense Republican victory will be welcome by every European state."

Strr-eter'R Unanimous Election. Chicago, Nov. 7.—An election was held yesterday in the so-called District of Lake Michigan, a portion of the lake front claimed by Capt. George W. S.treeter, over which there has been much contention with the city author!-
