Sound Money Wins

The Republicana and Sound' Money Demócrata joined hands Monday and snowed under the Free Silver heresy so deep that it will not be heard of again for a generation at least. The Bryan men claimed victory up to the last minute. They even claimed states that went almost solidly for McKinley. But the people were in earnest and were determined to put an end to the populistic heresy and theydid it within a most thorough going manner. Here is how the electoral vote stands so far as deñmte reBUlts have been obtained : McKINLEY.- California 9, Conn. 6, Del. 2, 111. 24, Ind. 15, Ia. 13, Me. O, Md. 8, Mass. 15, Mich. 14, Minn. 9, N II. 4, N. J. 10, N. Y. 36, N. D. 3, ü. 23, Ore. 4, Pa. 32, R. I. 4, Vt. 4, W. Va. 6, Wis. 12. Total- 259. BRYAN.-Pla. 11, Ark. 8, Cal. 4, Del. 1, Fla. 4, Ga. 13, Idaho 3, Kan. 10, La. 8, Miss. 9, Mo. 17, Mont. 3, Neb. 8, ' Nev. 3, N. C. 11, S. C. 9, S. D. 4, Tenn. 12, Texafe-15, Utah 3, Va. 12, Wash. 4, Wy. 3.- Total 175. Doubtful, Ky. 17. This is the estímate of some of the leading Democratie politicians. It is possible tnát later returns may give McKinley a few more votes. In Michigan the state has gone strongly for McKinley and still more so for Pingree. The latest reports this forenoon give Pingree's majority for governor as 68,548. It is qnite certain that this will be quite iargely increased when the rural returns all come in. In Washtenaw county the result is not quite so satisfactory. However the entire Republican ticket was elected with two exceptions, tliat of Clerk and Pros. Atty., to which offices Democrats have been selected. The county offices elected are as follows: Judge of Probate, H. Wirt Newkirk, Sheriff, Wm. Judson; Clerk, Jacob F. Schub; Register of Deed, Geo. A. Cook; Treas., Wm. Rehfuss; Pros. Atty., J. P. Kirk; Circuit Court Commissioners, O. E. Buttertield, Frank Webb; Coroners, Harrison Ball, ' Dr. W. R. Barton; Surveyor, Jerome Allen; For State Representative, Hon. A. J. Sawyer carried the district by an overwhelming majority. For years the district bas been Democratie. Mr. Sawyer carried it Tuesday by 702 majority. In the southern district Mr. Campbell bas surely been elected though by a small majority. Mr. Andrew Campbell has been elected to the state senate fromthis district by about one hundred majority or more.
