BRYAN DISCUSSES HIS DEFEAT. "It is for the People to Decide What They Want."?Has Faith That Democratic Principles Will Yet Prevail. Lincoln, Neb., November 5.?W. J. Bryan today gave out the following statement: "The election has gone against us by <a decisive majority. The returns are not all in and Lt is impossible atthe presout time to analyzo them to say what causes contributed most to the Republican victory. "We made our fight upon a platform which embodied what we believed to be good for the American people, but it is for the people themselves to decide what laws they desire and what methods of srovernmnnfc they prefer. I have faith that the publicity which we asked for will yet commend itself to the American people, that the election of Senators by the people will bo secured, that the iniquities of the trusts will arouse anopposition that will result in the elimination of the principles of the private monoply. I am confident that the people will see the necessity for the labor legislation and the tariff reduction which our platform demanded. I am confident, too, that the educational work done in tins campaign will result in securing greater protection to bank depositors. "The above arc the most prominent reforms for which we labored, and I believe that these reforms will yet oome together with more effective regulation of railroads and independence for the Filipinos. "I desire to commend the work of our national committee. 1 am entirely satisfied with Mr. Mack as the chairman and with the members of the committee. I do not see how they could have done more than they did, and as for myself, I put forth every effort in my power to secure victory for our cause. "The nomination came from the 1,n.~ ? T i - -t J \/i, iiiL* Yl/iur?** X UllYt? OlJUVCfl their command and have led as best I could. Words will not express my gratitude for the willingness of the Democrats during the past twelve years. Neither am T able to adequately express my appreciation for the kind words which have been spoken since election. If T could regard the defeat as purely a personal one T would consider it a blessing rather than a misfortune, for T am relieved of the burdens and responsibilities of an office that is attractive only iti proportion as it gives an opportunity to render a larger public service. But T shall serve as willingly in a private capacity as in a public one. God does I not require great things of us. ITe only requires that we improve the opportunities that are presented, and, T shall be glad to improve the opportunities for service presented by private life. "In this hour of national defeat I find some consolation in the cordial sup|>ort given by my neighbors, by the citizens of Lincoln and by the people of the State of Nebraska. With a Democratio governor and a Democratic legislature we shall be able to put into practice so much of the Denver platform as relates to State legislation, and T trust that our State will set an example that will he an in fluence for good in the nation."

The president-elect has i announced that after a slay al I lot i Springs, Va., he will come farther South, lie will prphahlv visit Asheville, but he fears that il will be too cold for him in the mountain city and he will nrohahlv move farther southward. lie has several cities under I 1 A consideration, it is said, and Char- J lesion is very probably one of the places that lie is thinking about making his place of residence for some limo. Mr. Taft would have such privacy as he would desire in the preparation of his inaugural and thou he would be in the hands of friends and the stay of himself and wife and children, should they also come Soutli, would be made most agreeable and pleasant. BRYAN CONGRATULATES TAFT. And His Successful Rival Thanks Him for the Message. Cincinnati, Ohio, November 5.? "Please accept congratulations and best wishes for the success of your administration. "(Signed) W.J.Bryan. "I thank you sincerely for your cordial and courteous telegram of congratulation and good wishes. "(Signed) Win. II. Tat't." These messages were today exchanged between Lincoln, Neb., and Cincinnati. The messages from Mr. Bryan came while Judge Taft was addressing the general conference of the Women's Foreign Missionary society of tlie Methodist Episcopal church. He received the message on his return to his residence and answered it at once. In his address to the women Judge Taft gave an enthusiastic commenda- I tion of foreign mission work, llis experience in the far East, he said, had taught him the value of this work in uplifting those people, and he commented upon the elevating effect of Christianity upon the heathen women. The Phillippines, Judge Taft asserted, the present degree of sue cess in civilization and government was made possible through the influence of Christianity. COL. H. T. WARDLAW DEAD.

"I'll be an elephant." "And you, lieggie, what are you going to he?" "I'm going to be a lion." "And what are von going to be, Hilda?" "I'm going to be a tiger." Then, crossing to the other side of the room, the hostess, noticing a youngster sitting all alone, asked: "And what are you going to bo, Tommy?" "P-pleaso " was -the halting reply, "p-please T?I'm going?to bo sick.''?Tit-Bits. Crosses of Honor.
