ATTENDED SERVICES Major tomed Pew Yesterday SILVER LEAGUE TO THE PUBLIC. Republican* Are Confident They Have Carried Kentucky mid Claim a Majority of Two In the Legislature —No More Talk of Electing Carliale — Wyoming Still Claimed by Both Parties. Canton, 0., Nov. 9.—The opening of morni ig services-in the First M. E. church yesterday found Major McKinley in his accustomed pew, he with a number of friends having walked early to the house of worship. With him . were national committeeman Charles . W. Dawes of Chicago, Hon. and Mrs. Joseph P. Smith of Urbana, O. Mr. Dawes was a guest at the McKinley house all day, having arrived during the early morning. Rev. Dr. Manchester, Major McKinley’s pastor, in his prayer invoked divine blessings on the president of the . United States and those elevated to exalted positions, and referring to the president-elect in the congregation, in- . yoked the blessings of ii kind providence ’ upon him and upon those about to be ■ called to council with him. Mrs. McKinley was feeling much bet- |

ter yesterday and was able to go to dinner in the diningroom with her h usband and their guests. Among the callers at the McKinley house yesterday were Congressman Wilson of Broqklyn, Hon. Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago. Major W. F. Goodspeed of Columbus and Hon. Alexander Revell of Chicago. Congratulatory telegrams and letters continue to pour in upon the presidentelect. Among those received was the following: Joseph W. Pomfrey, Covington. Ky. —I am the editor of The Extra, the only Democratic paper in this ‘ s county supporting William J. Bryan. While I have no apology to make, 1 desire before packing liiy grip for passage up finlt river on rhe steamer “Governor ~ e Itoickborn captain, to . > i on. your election to the presidency.

BIMETALLIC LEAGUE. Address Issued by its President to the Silver Leagues. Washington. Nov. 9.—The campaign for the 'free coinage of silver will be waged with vigor during the next four

years, in preparation lor the-etotioii of * 1963, The directors of the American j Bimetallic union, who constitute the hulk of the silver leaders of the three r parties, have decided to maintain head- f quarters in this city, from which t<j send E out literature. The branch office at i Chicago will be consolidated with the 1 Washington office, but the San Fran- 1 cisco office is to be continued. At the ( request of the directors General A. J. ’ Warner, the president of the union, has , issued an address to the silver leagues and bimetallic unions ot the United States. It is in part: “Silver has lost in this election, but 1 the battle for the overthrow of the gold i standard has not ended. The disastrous consequences that must attend, upon the ; continuance of this standard make it ' impossible to relinquish the struggle against it ufitil it is finally overthrown. . "Xfee ■gold standard cannot be inaintaiued by increasing revenues, because revenues are not paid in gold. The attempt to maintain the gold standard by perpetual loans must also sooner or later fail. The only Other way is by contracting the (Currency and forcing down prices so low that gold will come here of itself’ in such quantities as to constitute, in part at least., the currency with which revenues are paid, and no debtor nation can long maintain such a policy. Either course leads to inevitable ruin; the one by bankrupting the government and the other by bankrupting the'pebple. ■• =---/ • ■, “The noble fight made by our intrepid leader in the campaign just ended en- r dears him tp. all who believe in the righteousness of our cause, and under his 1 leadership we believe victory will be won in 1900/’ No Longer Talk of Carlisle, Fbankfokt, Ky., Nov. 9.—There is no longer any talk of the Republicans uniting with the gold Democrats on Carlisle, Breckinridge or any other Demoorat to succeed Senator Blackburn. All negotiations and talk to this

effect wore based on the probabilities of another deadlock. Now that the Republicans are oonfindent of a majority on join ballot they state that, a Republican will be elected senator. Governor Bradley, Congressmen Hunter, St. John Boyle and others are mentioned for the place. CONTROLLER ECKEL3. He Think* the Country is Now Prepared For a Business Revival. | Washigton, Nov. 9. — Controller ' Eckels makes the following statement: The liquidation of the last three years j has prepared the way for a revival of business in tins- country upon a basis which ought to insure stability and continuance. The immediate effect of thgjiefoat of the free coinage propaganda and the issue connected with it is seen In the suggestions everywhere made of preparation for new undertakingsand a restarting of old ones Undoubtedly some of these will fall off. but the general tone I of hopefulness will continue and inves- : tors .will invest in those t hings which clearly promise a return of profit on the investment. I do not believe speculative enterprises will succeed for a long time to come. Agre.it amount of money will come out of hoarding, but it will be used cautiously. The amount which has been secreted in safety vaults and i elsewhere is larger than ever in the I country’s history. Much of it is in gold ' coin, but not a little is in the form of I credit currency, such as bank notes, silver certifi sites and legal tenders. The favorable conditions for tne people aside from the settlement of the' money question, rest in the abundant ' crops here and the shortage elsewhere, the reduct.on in the stock .of manufactured predicts and the facts that expenses have been brought to a minimum in every line of business. The banks have since 1893 been charging off bad and Letter securing doubtful paper, so that they will be able speedily to loan out such sums as business men need, Already deposits are returning to such an extent that the prospects of a strong showing under the next bank call is very flattering. With the restored confidence now manifest in our determination to maintain the single gold standard of value and therehabilimen. of American credit there is reason to believe that much foreign capital will come here. I do not see either why the banks should not soon resume furnishing any gold needed in business transactions, a thing they did without injury to themselves until the passage the Sherman act of 1890. I believe the national banks should issue all the paper currency of the country,.and with this power given them they should be obliged- to redeem the same in gold. This they could readily do if the legal tenders were removed and they were completely, freed from further silver agitation. I have no doubt that under such circumstances they would be willing to undertake it. KENTUCKY. Statement From the Republican State .Chairman. Louisville, Nov. 9. —The following signed Sam J. Roberts, chairman, was given out last night from the Republican headquarters: “Practically complete, official returns give McKinley 444 plurality in Kentucky, unofficial advices indicating that the four missing counties will increase rather than deci ease these figures. The Republicans elect four members of congress and a judge of the highest court of the state for an 8-year term, and by* the filling of vacancies have secured a majority of two in the general assembly on joint ballot, which insures a Republican successor to Senator Blackburn. > “The total vote in the state will approximate 425,000, an increase of 70,000 over last year’s vote and 25,000 more than the highest estimates before the election. The. Republican vote increased about 40,000 over Governor Bradley’s vote a year ago, which was 17,000 higher than ever before cast in a presidential election; afld the Democratic vote was 29,000 higher, These figures will give some idea of the intensity of the political struggle through which Kentucky has just, passed.” Mk Roberts also sent a telegram to M. A. Hanna making the same claim.

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE. More Thau Two-Thirds of the Members /\re Free S live rites. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 9. —The general assembly of Alabama will convene tomoirew. The first two weeks will be devoted chiefly to the election of a United States senator to succeed Senator Rugh. Governor Oates, Congressman Bankhead and General B. VV. Pettus are the candidates aud they are showing about equal strength. Fourfifth of the legislature were elected as Deiiioera’ s and more, thad two-thirds of them are silver advocates. Pugh’s successor will therefore probably be a silver num Oates entertains moderate silver views, and the other candidates are enthusiasts.

Wyoming Still Tn Doubt,

Wyd./Nov. 9. —It is estimated that returns from 1,200 voters are yet to be received from the Big Horn country. As this section is- almost exclusively devoted to sheep raising, it is claimed by the Republicans that its returns will give the state to McKinley without a doubt. ’ Cliairnutrf tftydenburgh of the Democratic state cqinniittee has received leturus from the Jackson Hole precincts, Unitali county, giving the Republican state electoral and congressional tickets 27 and the Democratic, ticket 61 votes. Completejet.qj;ns, were also received by the confiiiii.ee from Johnson county showing an average Democratic nilijor■ityof j,;- Rofurns were also received from one third of the precincts in Big Horn county, showing decided majorities tor the entire Democratic ticket. Chairman Blydeijbnrgh now is certain that flic ent ire Democratic electoral con. gressional end state ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 200 to 600. Stockmen W nit a Cabinet'Representation. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.—The livestock men of Omaha and Kansas City and the west generally have , inaugurated a campaign to secure for Farmer Samuel Allerton the position of secretary of agriculture, in Mr. McKinley’s cabinet. Harvey Ingerson has received a communication from Secretary Baker National Livestock Exchange, asking him to confer with the members er tfie executive committee of the local •xchange ou the subject.

HE TAKES AN OUTING President - Elect McKinlev Resting After His Weeks of Hard Labor. BRYAN WILL BOOM BIMETALLISM Senator Teller Talk* ou the Result of the Election — Harrlsou Suggested For Secretary of the Treasury — Additional Return* Show the Vote on Eleotor* Tied In South Dakota. Canton, 0., Nov. 7.—President-elect McKinley's outing yesterday included a drive to West Lawn cemetery. He went in the old familiar one horse surrey with several friends. He had with him a half dozen beautiful bunches of flowers. Ho left the carriage personally and placed one each upon the grave* of the late Mr. and Mrs. James A. Saxton, who were Mrs. McKinley’s father and mother. A short drive farther on throught the beautiful grounds brought him to the McKinley lot. Here he placed like tokens in memory of his two daughters. Katie and Ida, who passed away early in life, a score of years ago, aud similar remembrance upon the graves of his deceased sister Anna, and his late brother, James McKinley. Returning home lie found a special car load party of distinguished Cincinnatians.

They came to ejfterd a personal invitation’to attend a Commercial club dinner Nov. 10. Major McKinley explained to them his plans, which were to take a rest quietly at Cleveland next week and then return to Canton, where he would probably remain arranging for the duties before him. Under the circumstances he was forced to decline, but he accepted an invitation for the next annual dinner He likewise extended regrets to invitations from Chicago, Columbus and various other points. Mrs. McKinley was only able to sit up part of the day, and her physician thinks it more important each day that she get away for a change and a rest from the exciting scenes she has witnessed for many wegks past. Mr. McKinley forwarded this telegraphic greeting to the Chicago ratification meeting last night: “Hon. Ferdinand W Peck, Chicago—Your message received. The cause of country is always above that of party and it is significant and gratifying that so decisive a verdict for our national honor and law and order. Let us rejoice that the pe ■ pie have so splendidly vindicated t. i strength and beneficency of our matchless institutions. ” WILLIAM J. BRYAN. He Declines the High Salaried Positions Tendered Him. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7. —Mr. Bryan has received the following reply to his telegram of congratulation to Presidentelect McKinley: Canton. 0., Nov. 6. Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nob.: I acknowledge the receipt of your courteous mo-u.- of congratulation* with thanks, and beg you will receive my best wishes lor your health aud happiness. William McKinley. Mr. Bryan has replied to some of the offers of employment at high salaries which he has received since election day, declining them on the ground that he (lesires to be free to devote a large portion of his time in tho future to the advocacy of bimetallism. He said, in reply to questions, that he had not arranged the details of his plans, but that he would enter upon no line of work which would interfere with his main purpose. He has agreed to address a public meeting in Denver at an early day, but beyond this has made no engagements for the immediate future. Mr. Bryan yesterday seat the following reply to a telegram from Messrs. Siegel, Cooper & Co. of New York, offering him $25,000 a year to attend to the law businesß of the firm: “Daring the next four years I expect to devote as much time as possible io the advocacy of bimetallism and therefore cannot consider ’the proposition made by yWu. I appreciate the confidence which your offer implies.” Mr. Bryan last night issued an address to the public in which he said in

part: “The year 1900 is not far awky.. Before that year arrives internatioal bimetallism will cease to decoive before that year arrives those who have called themselvesguldsfandardßemocrats will become bimetallists and be with us. or I ythe will become Republicans and thus open enemies;‘before that year arrives trusts will have convinced still more poo- j pie that a trust is a menace to their wel- ; fare and to public safety ;before that year , arrives the evil of a gold standard will be ■ even more evident than they are now , and the people thou be ready to demand ■ an American financial policy for the j American people, and will join with us , in the immediate restoration of tho free ■ and unlimited coinage of gold and silver : at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 with- ( out waiting for the aid or consent of > any other nation.” • ' UNITED STATES ’SENATE. _' FopulHta and Independent# Will Control the Highest Lawmaking Power. Washington, Nov. 7.—The next sen- : ate it is believed, will stand Republic- , ans, 44: lleniocrats, 33; Populists and independents, 13. • This table takes all states out of the doubtful column. This , will prevent tho Republicans from taking control of the senate unless some of ’ those who bolted tho Republican plat- I form at St. I/niis should return. It is difficult to ektimato the exact, standing ■ of the noxt senate on tho money ques- . tion, owing to the new aliginncut of parties in the recent campaign, Perkinspf California, Wolcott of o<wrado, Shoup of Idaho, Carter of M-oin-tana, Mitchell of Oregon, Wilson of Washiwzlou and dark -aud W.Mxau of Wyoming nave alj supported Buyer lesislation, and what course they will now take in the senate “is altogether problematical.

Among the Democrats. Gorman of Maryland, Smith oT New Jersey. Murphy of. New York, Faulkner of West Virginia and Mitchell of Wisconsin all have voted against silver. The pro! lability is that on a free coinage amendment to a tariff bill all of the 44 Republicans would vot® against itiand possibly some Democrats, such as Cattery, Gray and Lindsay. It also is not unlikely that some of the senators who

bolted the Republican platform would permit a tariff bill in winch their constituents are largely interested, because of wool, lumber and lead ores, to become « law. Senator Faulkner (Dein., W. Va. )eaid yesterday that the silver men, by stand- ' ing solidly with the Democrats, could • prevent tariff legislation. Senator Butler, on the other hand, said that he and others of the Populists would support the right kind of a tariff bill, but not a measure like the McKinley bill. Mr. Butler wants adequate protection on rfcw materials. SENATOR TELLER. ■l* View* on the Outlook For Sliver Legislation. Denver, Nov. 7.—Senator Henry M. Teller arrived here from the east yesterday. In an interview he said: “I don’t think the Republican party will do-anything for silver during the coming four years. Tho declaration of the St. Louis platform amounts to nothing with a limitation put upon it. Besides that, the men who dictated the St. Louis platform are opposed to bimetallism, internationally or otherwise. McKinley,s it seems to mb, has shown by his speeches that he would be the advocate at d supporter of the gold standard on the ground that it is a better standard than bimetallism. “During the four years to come I expect to see the Republican party abandon all pretense to a desire to secure international bimetallism, and the contest will hereafter bo made between the gold standard and the organized hosts of bimetallism. I think that four years from now people will be sufficiently educated to understand the danger of the gold standard and the party that stands for bimetallism in "1900 by the United States alone will be sue- 1 cessful.

“There is no reason why we should be discouraged. Our candidate was all we could desire and performed his part to perfection. We must not look backward, but forward. The silver forces have a magnificent organization, and now, for the first time, the fight is transferred from the silver states to the whole country. ” GENERAL HARRISON. His Name i» Suggested For Secretary of the Treasury. I Indianapolis, Nov. 7.—W. A. Ketcham Indiana’s attorney general, in talking of cabinet possibilities said: “The people of the country have so much faith in Ben Harrison, that if McKinley should invite him into the cabinet as the secretary of the treasury, it would be hailed as a wise and happy selection. There is no one better equipped, and. . perhaps, none so well equipped for the : great responsibilities of the place as, I General Harrison. Indiana wouid be ' proud to find herself so well represented in the cabinet.” LATE ELECTTON~NEWS. i Returns From Various States--Offl-cial Count Necessary to Determine Result. INDIANA. Indianapolis, Nov. 7.—The Indiana legislature from the official returns received give the Republicans 20 on joint ballot, in the senate there are 18 holdover Republicans and six Democrats. In the election last Tuesday the RepubI licaus were successful in 15 senatorial districts aud the Democrats in 11. The Republicans have elected 51 members of i the house and the Democrats 48. There i is a tie in Fulton county, and notice of contest has been filed by the Democratic ; candidate. This reduces the number of RepubI lioanj in the senate, according to prei vions reports, to 33. The Republicans have lost a representative in Clark county, which leaves them 51 in the house, and makes the the general assembly Republican by 20 on joint ballot. The latest returns show that the have elected four and the Republicans nine congressmen. i The official and unofficial with three counties to hear from— Brown, Martin and Newton—place McKinley’s plurality at 18,960. KANSAS.

Topeka, Nov. 7.—The Republicans have finally given up Kansas complete, not only conceding the election of Bryan electors, by about 6,000, but giving up the whole state ticket, headed by Leedy (Pon.), for governor, by something near 4,000. The Populists also gain the legislature and five (probably six) of the eight congressmen. The Second congressional district is in doubt and being claimed by both parties. It is the most disastrous defeat the Republicans of Kansas huve ever suffered. In 1890 they saved the governor i and had a holdover senate. In 1892 they saved the house, losing the governor and the senate, and a Populist took a seat on the supreme bench. In 1894 they wou the governor and the house and had a majority on joint ballot, which retired Martin from the United States senate. This year everything is gone—the governor, both branches of the legislature and consequently the United States senator, five of tho six judges of the appellate court and the election of Doster to be chief justice gives the Populists a majority on the supreme bench. In addition, all the judicial candidates in the districts which elected this year have been carried by the fusionists, as have also nearly all of the county officers. T CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, Nov. 7.—Complete returns from all but 111 precincts in California give McKinley a majority of 4,548. The missing precincts in 1892 gave Harrison 1,501, Cleveland 1,778, Weaver 29u. The Democrats have elected two congressmen, Republicans three and the Populists two. Ihe lat ure is Republican by 26 on joint ballot. - Nebraska. Omaha, Nov. 7. —Complete returns in the state gives the following results: Bryan, 79,714; McKinley, 72,205; 1894, Republicans, 65,988; fusion of Populists and Democrats, 67,819.

KENTUCKY. Louisville, Nov. 7.—Leslie county and the missing precincts of Perry county were heardj fiom at a late hour last night. The Changes rendered by these returns have brought tho Republican claims down to 845, while the Democrats have increased their claims to 1,000. Official figures will undoubtedly be required t 6 decide whether Kentucky was carried by McKinley or Bryan. Louiß”ili.e. Nov. 7.—Chairman Roberts of tho Republican state central committee issued the following bulletin late last night: Official returns from 100 counties show that McKinley has carried Kentucky by between 400 and 500 plurality. The official returns on the counties yet to bo heard from will not materially change these figures. We shall be able to announce the final figures tomorrow. ” Chairman Johnson of the Democratic committee said he was not yet ready to congratulate Chairman Roberts. He believed errors had been made against Bryan in returns, which were sufficient to turn the scale in his favor on official count. NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, Nov. 7.—Neither of tho three parties in this state will have nia- ! jority in tho next state legislature ■ which elects a successor to senator i Pritchard. It will be nearly equally I divided between the Democrats, Rei publicans and Populists and a lively fight on the senatoral question is ex- ■ pected. Speaking of the situation j Chairman Holton, of the Republican state committee, said: “We will have 175 members of the legislature on joint ballot or 11 short of a majority. Enough Popubsts are elected to insure the return of Senator Pritchard to the senate.” SOUTH DAKOTA. Yankton, Nov. 7.—South Dakota’s vote on the presidential electors is tied and an official count will be required to. determine the result. The Republican managers have closed their office with the above declaration. Any claim of the Populists that this state is for Bryan is not justified by the returns. TENNESSEE. Nashville, Nov. 7.—Seventy-seven out of 96 counties heard from, officially i and semi-ofilcialLv. give Bryan 15J.65 | over'McKinley. The remaining coun- : ties will probably increase th<? figures to I 20,000. It a nut believed they can reduce this lead. OREGON. Portland, Nov. 7.—Complete returns from every county in Oregon give McKinley, 46.792; Bryan, 44,262. McKinley’s majority, 2,530. Official returns may change these figures slightly. FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA. Heavy Kaiu* Have Done Great Damage and Thrown Thousands Out of Work. Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—Reports received from various sections of eastern Pennsylvania indicate that considerable damage has been done by the heavy rains of Wednesday and Thursday of this week. This is . specially true in regard to the ininning regions where ; many mines have been flooded and I number or conlleries forced to susI pena and in some places tile prospects for an early resumption is not very encouraging. ® At Ashland the water became so high that the mules had to W, hoisted from the mines. From Shenandoah oomes news that all the collieries in that region except the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company and the Lehigh Valley collieries have been forced to close, and as a consequence *IB,OOO men and boys are thrown out of work for some days and in some instances for a longer period. » The Susquehanna river at Columbia was a raging torrent last night. It was five feet above low water mark and was steadily rising at the .nite of five inches an hour.

Canadian Batiks and American Money. Nov. 7.—Until the Canada banks raised the discount on American money it had been accepted at almost par value and now financial men differ as to what policy should be adopted in regard to American money. While none of them handle American coin, they disagree as to what policy is advisable in the case of United States notes. The Standard bank, which was one of the first institutions to raise the discount rate, refuses to lower it. How many banks will follow this example it is impossible to say, but it is fairly certain that the most important banking institutions will continue to accept American money as they did before the free silver agitation. Resuming Work at Anderson. Anderson, Ind., Nov. 7. —The Arcade File company will resume on Monday. The Anderson Iron and Bolt company put all its i. if to work yesterday. The window and plateglass companies are preparing to resume work. The American Wire Nail company will resume work next week'in its immense mill. Weather. Indiana — Threatening weather and possibly occasional light rains; cooler. Illinois — Threatening weather and possibly rain or snow; Cooler." Ohio—Fair, wanner. TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS. The Central Ohio Teachers’ association is holding its annual session at Springfield, 0., today. •' ; Silver certificates were in demand in New York yesterday and rose X per cent on transactions of $70,000. Yesterday’s statement of the condition of the United States treasury shows: Available cash balances, $232,015,841; gold reserve. 1117.530.316. . At'Chicago Bello Thornton, a milliner, was shot and killed by Charles Carison, a jealous lover, who was arrested. The United States treasury yesterday lost $25,700 in gold coin and «4L,7(X) in bars, which leaves the true amount of the reserve $118,414,514.
