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 it is impossible at the present time to analyze them to say what causes contributed most to the Republican victory. "We made our fight upon a plat form which embodied what we believ ed to be good for the American peo ple, but it is for the people themsel ves to decide what laws they desire and what methods of government they prefer. I have faith that the publicity which we asked for will yet commend itself to the American peo ple, that the election of Senators by -the people will be secured, that the in iquities of the trusts will arouse an opposition that will result in the elim ination of the principles of the pri vate monoply. I am confident that the people will see the necessity for the labor legislation and the tariff re duction which our platform demand ed. I am confident, too, that the ed ucational work done in this campaign will result in securing greater protec tion to bank depositors. "The above are the most prominent reforms for which we labored, and I believe that these reforms will yet come together with more effective re gulation of railroads and independ ence for the Filipinos. "I desire to commend the work of onr national committee: I am entire ly satisfied with Mr. Iack 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. 'T-he nomination came from the hands of the voters. I have obeyed 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 I able to ade quately express my appreciation for the kind words which have been spok en since election. If I could regard the defeat as purely a personal one I would consider it a blessing rather than a misfortune, for I am relievedI of the burdens and responsibilities of' an offie that is attractive only in proportion as it gives an opportunity to render a larger public service. But I shall serve as willingly in a private. capacity as in a public one. God does not require great things of us. He only requires that we improve the op portunities that are presented, and. I shall be glad to improve the op-.t portunities for service presented by private life.I ''In this hour of national defeat I find some consolation in the cordial support given by my neighbors, by the citizens of Lincoln and by the people1 of the State of Nebraska. With a' DemQcratie governor and a Democra tic legislature we shall be able to put into practico so much of the Denver platform as relates to State legisla tion, and I trust that our State will set an example that will be an in fluence for good in the nation." TAFT INVITED TO CHARLESTON President-Elect May Visit the City by the Sea-His Plan is to Come South. The State. Charleston. Nov. 5.--President elect W. H. Taft and Mrs. Taft may spend some time in Charleston this winter on their proposed trip to the South, and if ther come it is need less to say that the stay of the dis tinguished quests will be made very Splea:a:ut. Invitations h ave been sent to Mr. Taft from Charleston on learn ing of his pr:oposed stay in the South previous to his inauguration, and it is thought that Charleston will be se journ of the president-eleet and Mrs.I Taft. Tu no city of the South would the distinguished visitors be more cordialle ret-eived and entertained. Judge Taft has a number of vere strong personal friends anid admijrers in Charleston. He has visited this city on four different occasions in the past two years and he has spok en in very warm terms of the ple:asure of these visits and his interest in Charleston. so that it is very prob'a ble that he will accept the invitation and spend some time this winter in Charleston. The president-elect has announced that after a stay at HTot Springs. Va., he wvill com farther South. He will prolbably visit Ashe ville. but he fears that it will he too cold for him in the mountain city and he will nrobly move farther south wad He has several cities under -onsideration, it is said, and Char- a le- 'on is very probably one of the b places that he is thinking about mak ing his place of residence for some time. Mr. Taft would have such privacy as he would desire in the preparation of his inaugural and then he would be in the hands of friends and the stay of himself a:d wife and t children, should they also come South, would be made most agreeable 0 and pleasant. N1 BRYAN CONGRATULATES TAFT. 'n And His Successful Rival Thanks e Him for the Message. Cincinnati, Ohio, November 5. "Please accept congratulations and best wishes for the success of your ad- g ministration. "(Signed) W. J. Bryan. "I thank you sincerely for your cordial and courteous telegram of congratulation -and good wishes. "(Signed) Win. H. Taft. These messages were today ex changed between Lincoln, Neb., and Cincinnati. The messages from Mr. Bryan came while Judge Taft was ad dressing the general conference of the Women's Foreign Missionary society, of the Methodist Episcopal church. He received the message on his return to his residence and answered it at once. t In his address to the women Judge t Taft gave an enthusiastic commenda-. sl tion of foreign mission work. His ex- h perience in the far East, he said, had y taught him the value of this work in uplifting those people, and he com mented upon the elevating effect of r Christianity upon the heathen wo men. The Phillippines, Judge Taft asserted, the present degree of sue cess in civilization and government was made possible through the influ ence of Christianity. COL H. T. WARDLAW DEAD.
