Bryan on the Election. Thinks Results Encouraging for the Future of Democracy?Why Hearst was Defeated. Lincoln, Neb., Commenting < on 'he re-ults ol Tuesday's eiec i tion William J. Bryan to-night i issued a statement in part as t N I lollow.s : ! 4,The elec'i'Ui of 11)06 indi- i ca'es a trend in favor of the De% moca'tc party. It proves that i the Democratic party is growing < stronger as the Republican policies are developed. In New York ] at. __ ...a.. i_ - i in- party nas won a signal victory in spite of the tremendous efforts put forth in behalf of the administration. The Republicans had all the money they wanted. They had the support of all the ( great corporations and at the j close they had whatever influence the administration could lend. ; The fact that the Democrats t elected every State officer ex | cepting the Governor shows that , in the Empire JSta'e the Rfpub- j lican party lias been repudiated. , The defeat ol Mr. Hearst, the j Democratic an l Independence j League candidate for Governor, t while a great disappointment toj j his friends, and to the party, is L explained by tacts which rob . Mr. Hughes' victory ot t?oth 11 glo.'.v and political significance. L Mr. McGarren, whom Mr. Hearst j | rJ i. i \ 11 11. 1 fie u Incw I hratv Iti^ I . in 11 uenee to Hughes and cut j down Mr. Hearst's vole in Brook- j, lyn. Mayor McClellen, the le- L gality oi whose election Mr. Hearst had denied, used his in j ll ience f >r 11 ughes and cut down ( the Hearst vo e in New York ( Mr. .Jerome, the prosecuting at- ^ ] t'irney ot New York, who had L also been attacked by Mr. Hearst, , supported the Republican ticket j | and his inlluence was felt in , Greater New York. Mr. Croker. t during the last days of the cam f paign made an attack upon Mr. Hearst which doubtless weakened 1 tlie Democratic candidate among ; i the Tammanvites. Mr. Murphy, ( tne head of Tammany, while i supporting the ticket, could not [ | put much enthusiasm into the t campaign owing to the personal i controversies which he had had | with Mr. Hearst. It is evident, j therefore, that Mr. Hughes owes t his victory not to Republican 1 votes, but to Democratic votes i brought to him by the very men J whom he and the Republican h leaders have been denouncing it tor years. I i I "The President cannot tiudjt much cause for rejoicing in the 11 Mew York elections. To have If his own S'ate tro Democratic t cannot he gratifying to him, and i to find that his personal attack ! i upon Mr. Hearst had little in-ji lluenee exerted by McC'arren, u Murphy and Crokor, will not s gladden his thanksgiving day. The President's personal attack !i on Mr. Hearst was in bad taste it to sav t be least. Mr. Hearst is of course disap J I pointed, and vet when alll< the facts are known .ie has much t to congratulate himself upon. He f made a tremendous fight against ( great o Ids and while he himself t failed of election his heroic strug- ( gle brought victory to the iest f of the ticket. His personal ene- ( rnies have contributed to his defeat, but ihe triumph of his ideas still leaves him in a position to continue the fight for the protection of the public against encroachments of predatory wealth. It the trend toward Democracy contii ues as strong for the next two years as has been for the last two years New York can be counted among the Democra'ic States in 1908, and Mr. Hearst is in a position to do valiant work in securing t a national triumph for progrt ssive, l)t me? ;rat ic ideas.
