Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 0. Bryan to day gave out the following: To biraetalllsts of the United States: "Conscious thattlio millionsol loyul h.urls are saddened by temporary defeat, I beg to offer a word of hoie and encouragement. No cause ever had supporters more bravo and de toted than those who have espoused the cause of bimetallism; They have fsmght from conviction, and have foiwut with itlL the zeal which con t ctiuii lusplic.'. Events will prove v.Ih'IIht t'ley were right or wrong. I ti J ( . f r done their duty us tiiey mi..' It, they liave noth ing to regret. The Ilepub litiin cuitli I "l to had been heralded as the ahance agent of prosperity, ir Ills p'tliuie bring real prosperity to t ic . Dietitian people those who op posed him will share In that prosper ity. If on the other hand, his polic ies proe an injury to the people gen erally, those supporters who do not belong to the office-holding class.or to tlie privileged class, will suffer in com mon with those who opposed him. The friends of bimetallism have not Wn vanquished; they have simply been overcome. They believe the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money chancers against the welfare of the human race, and until coninced of their error, they will continue the warfare against it. The contest has been waged this year un der great embarrassments and against great odds. But in spito of the ef forts of the administration and Its sapporters, in spite of the threats of money lenders at homo and abroad, In Snltn nf t.llA Onowlnn nrnntlnml Viir li -r .., wv.VU.U lUVUil, UJ UUOI corporations on employes, and In spit or consent of anyjother nation." paign rnnd, and In spite or the influences of the hostile daily Press, bimetallism h.-i nim,,ct triumphed in Its .flrst great fight, but bimetallism merges from the contest stronger than It was four motitnsoco. I desire to commend the wo.k of the three national committees, which have lolned in tlm ni!in;i.rm,inn this campaign. They have laid the foundation for the future success and they will bo remembered as pioneers wheu the victory Is nt, lust, n-nm No personal or political friend need grieve because or my defeat. My am bition has been to secure Immediate legislation, rather than enjoy the honors of olllcc. Therefore defeat brings to me no icenng or loss. Speaking or the wife who shared my labors, as well as for myself, I desire to say that wchae been amply repaid for all that we have done, In love, by millions of our feliow-cltlzens, so kindly expressed In the knowledge gained by penonal contact with the peo ple and In broadened sympathies we And full compensation for what ever efforts we have put forth. In the faceor the enemy rejoicing in Its vic tory, let the toll be called ror the en gagement, and uige all fi lends of bi metallism to renew their allegiance to the cause. If we are right, a-i 1 D3lleve we are, we shall yet triumph. The year 1000 is not far away. Before that year arrives, international bimetallism will cease to deceive. Before that year arrives those who have called themselves gold standard Democrats will become bi metallists and with our party to be come Republicans and thus open en emiesbefore that year arrlves,trusts will have convinced still more the people that a trust Is a men ace to private welfare and to public safety: before that year arrives, the evils of the gold standard will be even more evident than they are now and people will be ready to demand an American financial policy for American people and will join with us in the Immediate restoration of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid Interesting Special from the Big City. $50,000 IS LET LOOSE. Only a Drop in the Bucket of the Money .Spent. , SP. M? PouTLAND,Nov.5.-(Spec!aL) Hun dreds of repeaters were taken to Ore gon City, and voted there. Heavy repeating was done in the districts that elected Republican rep resentatives, In order to influence their vote In favor of gold man for senator. AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION. The polls were opened at the nsual hour, and quiet and order prevailed all along the line. The "Oregonlan" had claimed that tho police Intended to debauch the ballot, this made the police so fair tlr.it they even leaned on tho sides of "our friends, tho euemy," and they were so passive in the hands of the Republicans that one police captain permitted himself to be ar rested by a man who said 'I hate a warrant for ou, I am a deputy slisriff;" and this grout caatnl.i or police permitted himself tt. be led away without even asking to hear the warrant read. This so-called deputy, was neither deputy churl IF nor Inula warrant. Don't Be Deceived into buying anything tin the way of LOTH I NO until you have seen out line and got our prices. We know where' of we speak when we say Lthat Black Clay Worsted Out $10 is the cheapest suit tever offered in the city. A new line of overv coats and hats just arrived and are offering them at prices that defy ' competition, Remember the place 6. w. Johnson & 120 STATE STREET. son The yellow chrysanthemum was consplclous ut all the polls and. the wearers of the Multnomah "Law and Order" badges were peiultted inside the rope and to work with the voters while In line, and at some of the polls men were allowed to cuter at side doors. In some precincts, especially the 0th where it was believed that a large Bryan vote would be cast, the judges.absolutely refused to allow men to vote, and would neither permit them to prove they were entitled to vote or allow them to swear In their vote, and they evidently delayed the voters for the exact purpose, which they accomplished of shutting out a great many Bryan votes, estimated at 200 In this precinct alone. Judge Northup appointed some new Judges of election just a day or two beforo lection at the polls their apparent use was seen. The way the ballot was arranged In Multnomah county the judge taking the ballot could tell whether or not It was for McKlnley, hence by keeping a top or private mark they could tell the ballot of each elector, also a challenger could lookjln the booth and tell just how the voter cast his ballot. All the corporations and business houses In the city had given out that their employees must vote for McKinley or hunt a new job, and when it was seen the perfect sys tem of espionage had by their em ployers, they looked on the bread and butter side of their poor family and cast their vote for McKlnley. The night before election the Republicans turned loose $50,000 and these shiners had their effect. Even some of the Bryan "howlers" became tinctured with a desire to worship the "golden calf" and one county central com mitteeman, I have on good authority, recelyed 3100 for his perfidy, a few of these "Jusdasls" and 'Arnolds' helped on account of their position to destroy our own cohorts. The silver Repub licans worked hard and did their duty, but the power of coerion,boodlo,fraud, Interspersed with.treachery, was too 6trong to be withstood by our unor ganized voters and we were swept away by this "maelstrom" of political polutlon. THE SALEM J1&YAN CLUB Adopts, an Address arj fjome Resolu tions.5 A largely attended meeting of the Salem Bryan Clublas'Unlght adopted the following address and resolutions: THE ADDhfcSS.

Mrs. Marvin was working In the kitchen when her husband came home from town, and she eagerly rushed into the rrontroom to ask him whether Bryan had been elected or not. Mr. Marvin shook his head nega tively, in response to his wife's in quiry, and she Immediately started to fall, Mr. Marvin catching her. She was placed in a chair and it was believed she had fainted.

' Jones' Statement. Chicago, Nov. 0. Chairman Jones Issued the following statement last night: 'The result of the presidential elec tion Is apparently no longer In doubt. It has been one of tho closest contests that the people havo been called on to determine In years. Wc have claimed tho election on our advices from states that wcro admittedly in doubt, In which wc knew there had been many frauds, and from which there wcro evidences of tampering with the re turns. It scorns now to bo apparent that Mr. Bryan, after making the most brilliant campaign in tho his tory of our country, and having car ried most of the states claimed to bo doubtful, has not carried onough to assure his success in tho electoral col lego. "Bryan electors havo been chosen from all the states south of the Poto mao and Ohio, except West Virginia, and all or those west of tho Missouri river, .except California and Oregon. Ho has 100 electoral votes and this number may bo increased by tho final returns from the states yet in ques tion, no has not obtained enough votes to carry the electoral college. Tho remarkable campaign closes at the election of Wm. McKlnley. Tho result was brought about by overy kind of coercion and intimidation on tho part of the money power, Includ Ing threats of lockouts and dismissals and emptying starvations; by tho em ployment of far tho largest campaign fund every used In this country and by the subornation of a largo portion of American principles. "Tho president-elect and his party aro under obligations to tho American peoplo to cpntlnue tho gold standard and by its operation to restore pros perity to this country. As chief ex ecutive Mr. McKlnley will have the cordial support of millions of jfiatrlotlo Americans who have cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan. Thoy bow to the majesty of the ofllco and abldo by tho result with none- of tho mutteriugs that would havo come from tho monlcd power, had It been unsuccessful. They aro confident the gold standard cannot movo prosperity but will be glad to welcomo It If It comes. They will continue tho great strugglo for the upllftlngof humanity and tho maintenance of tho dignity of the country in the establishment of an American monetary system, and the Democratic party, aided by Its present allies, will uplift tho bimetal lic standard and bear It on to victory.

Havana, Nov. 0.Accordlng to in surgent statements tho frequency of engagements recently fought in the province or Havana 'are evidences ,pf tho truth of thereport that Antohto Macco and Maximo Gomez aro direct ing tho forces under their "command upon tho city of Havana itself, with the Intention of laying siege to It.
