WHAT WE MAY EXPECT.
The South to be Deprived of their

Tho Uto election hat given the Republican

The Sou'hern States did not oontributo
to tho Republican victory and thoroforo
ncod not expootany favors. On
tho contrary, there is reason to bilicvo
that a determined c ffort will bo
uiado to punish this sootion by roduoing
us political power. Vice Onairtnan
Paynoof tho National oommitteo, knows
what ho is talking about whon ho
throatons tho South with a reduction
of rei rcBcntation in tho llouso and iu
tho Kleotoral oollego. Wo (\ toto his

"Ihopotho oloction will open up a

not boliovo that Cougross should longor

its citizens by a Southern Stato with
out rtduoing tho representation of tho

"I know that tho Democratic Senators
might talk auch a bill to death at
tho coming short session, oapooially if
wo try to pass aa army bill at tho samo

Will bo impossible.
It must bo oonfesscd that tho proappot
is not ohccring for tho citizens of
this latitude. It will bo down to them
that birnp'o anarchy prevails in this
sootion. In Mr. l'ayno s vooabulary
anarchy simply moans opposition to
tho lljpublioan party. If ho desires
to build uj tho Republican party in
the Southern States ho should know
that his proposed method is not tho
way to aocomplish it, for it would only
revivo sectional animosity and oontirm
tho Southern Statos in opposition to
tho Uopublioau party whioh has boon
tho authorof all tho mcasuros that havo
proved so injurious to tho welfaro of
tho Smth. However, thoro is somo
comfort in tho thought that all Ropub
lioansaro not so hostilo to tho South
as Mr. Payno. It is to - bo hoped that
many of them will refuse to uuito with
him in plaoing tho ban of inferority on
thoso Southern States whioh havo hcon
driven by tho instinct of self proserva
tion to establish an oduoational qualifi

has dono, though not drivon to it
by tho same imperative necessity ?

CONWAY. S
NOT SO EASILY DONE
The Reorganization of the Dem
ocratic Party.
A SENSIBLE VIEW.
The Party Neither Moribund
Nor Crippled. Bryan a
Great Leader in the
Face of Defeat.
Tho Democratic) party has bcon
boatcu, badly bcaton on tho olcotoral
voto and in a lessor degree on tho popular
voto. Novcrtho'css it rouiains
truo, as in 18%, that a ohango of votes
in ocrtain Statos oiual to but 1 per
oont. of tho Demooratio total would
havo sufficed to give it a uiajnity of
tho electoral voto. Wo aro indobtod
to tho ultra Republican New York Sun
for this calculation: Tho Sun says:
If 75.0H0 citizens who voted for Mo
Kinley in cortain Sta'os of tho union
had voted instead for Bryan, Mi K'nlcy
would have been defeated and Bryan
eleetcd.
Tho tablo below montiona 12 States
with tho olcotoral votes belonging to
th? in and their sevoral pluralities tor
Mlvinloyaud Roosovolt, as unotli jially
ascertained or as estimated Thursday.
Changes in tho figures by later returns
will not greatly afreet tho goncral prop
osition:
Kleo- llepublioan
tr ral Voto Plurality.
Delaware 3 5,000
I ndiana 15 27 400
Kansas 10 25 out)
Maryland 8 14 300
Nebraska 8 5 000
North Dakota. 3 8 000
Oregon 4 14 00ft
South Dakota 4 10 000
Utah. 3 4,000
Washington 4 5,000
West Virginia (? 15,000
Wyoming 3 3 000
71 135 700
Thus leaving a margin of 14,000 for
possible increaso in tho aggregate Repulioan
plurality in thoso States, it is
ovidont that tho ohango of 75,000 votes
would havo rovorscd tho result in all 12
of thorn. That is to say, if 75 000 oiti
zona who votod for MeKinlnv bail
voted for Bryan, 71 olcotoral irotos now
in tho McKmloy column would havo
gitn" in tho Bryan oolumn, thus:
McKinley's olcotoral veto as it is . . 292
Eleotoral voto of thceo 12 Statos . . 71
McKinloy's olcotoral voto as it would
havo boon 221
Necessary to a ohoioo 224
On tho other hand:
Bryan'B electoral voto as it is 155
Eleotoral voto of theso 12 Statos.. . 71
Brayan'a olootoral vote as it would
havo been 220
Necessary to a otnioo 224
Tho ohango of 75,000 votes, therefore,
properly distributed in tho 12 States in
tho list, would havo given to Bryan
two moro than tho nccossary number
of eleotoral vote; his olcotoral ma
jority over McKinloy wouM havo
been 5.
It wouM seem that a party whioh oan
poll 7,000,000 votes and oomo as noar to
viotory as this is neither moribund nor
crippled, and is under no obligation to
aocopt tho diotation of tho small minority
of its formor numbers who oast
their votes against it and defeated it.
Tho Sun itself rcoogoizes tho strongth
of tho Domooratio demonstration and
voices a warning similar to that given
by Tho Stato on tho morning of tho
election. It says:
In tho fir-it plaoe, the power of tho
political revolution startod in 1890 by
Bryan and continued with little, if any
approoiablo diminution in tho campaign
of 1900, must not be minimizod. At
both olootions ho was dofoatod by a
majority of tho olcotoral votos of sreat
proportions, jot at both ho received of
popular votes a much larger volurno
than had over been oast for a Demo
oratio oandidato for president; and the
greater roroentago of them given to
Mr. Mi Kinloy on both occasions was
only about 5 per oont. Tho politioal
foroo represented by Bryanism is therefore
too tremendous to bo overlooked
in any consideration of tho politioal
future, more especially of tho future
of tho Deinooratio party.
Eitimating that tho wholo number of
votes pollod at this oleotion was 15 millions,
something liko soven millions of
them wore oast for Bryan. In tho
Siato of New York, out of an aggregate
for both MoKinley and Br>an of
about one milli. n and a ha f votes, the
plurality over Bryan was less than 10
per oont. and his plurality over MoKinley
in this city was moro than 27,000,
A oandidato who reoeivos support so
numerous, iu spito of a groat revolt
against him in his oWn party, oannot
bo removed from politioal consideration
simply beoause of his defeat, but mu9t
rather bo regarded seiiously as the
rcprcsontativo of a popular fooling of
ominous strength and pervasiveness.
* ? *
It is not improbable, it seems rather
to bo probablo, that if tho elements in
tho Democratic party whioh represent
its conservatism and its national spirit
should regain tho oontrol of its organisation,
the burning political eontiment
of which Bryanism has beon tho ex
pression would bo driven off in violent
revolt to aot by itself as an independ
entpolitioal movement. In truth, tho
genesis of Bryan as a political foioowas
the oonstqienoo of tho demonstration
of tho strength of such a political
movemont in the oampaign of 1892,

Brum's scheme was to prevent this
political division by fusing Populism
with Democracy, and ho Bueoocdcd in
it so far that in tbo canvass o( 18%
Populism disappeared practically as an

Tho Birmingham correspondent of tho
Manufacturers' Record says that tho
advanoo of 50 oents a ton on Novembor
7th was promptly aooeptod without interruption
of tho buying, that it was
not oonfinod to tho small order trado,
but that interests of evory dcgroo woro
aotivo in tho rnovo. By Friday tho
interests that had led tho Boiling wcro
in a very ocmforlablo oondition as to,
stocks. Thoir surplus was absorbod
and sales of oomfor.ablo amounts had
been booked for tho first half of the
coming year. A seoond advanoo of 25
ojnts a ton did not deter buyers. Ho
adds that the feeling is ono of confidenoo
in the maintonanee of prioes and
that tho market will romain const rvalive.

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT
A Charleston Fossil Tickles the
Republicans.
Tho Washington oorrospondont of tho
Charloston Post says among Southern
gentlemen in Washington is lion. A
B Kaufman of South Carolina. Mr.
Kaufman is well known throughout
tho South and takes uiuoh interest in
all matters tending to tho dovolopmcnt
of tho South and esj ooiallyof his homo
oity of Charleston. Ho is in Washing
ton at preacnt to attoud a meeting of
tho Bod Cross Sooicty, of which he is
an aotivo member. Although Mr.
Kaufman, in politics, differs front the
largo maj nity of tho pooplo of Charles
ton, having advooatod tho reelection of
President MoKioloy, it is safo to say
that there is no man in Charloston who
has more friends or who is more highly
regarded than himself. Mr. Ksufman
in speaking on diifcront topics ? hilo
in Washington stated, that al' tgh
ho was gratified at tho reelotton of
President McKbilcy, ho deplored the
faot thai tho solid north and West was
arrtyed against tho solid South.
t .Nevertheless, ho says that thoro is a
largo elomcut in tlio South, as ho
judges from tho voto in South Carolina
who woro uot in favor of Col. Bryan,
but who oould not ho brought to tho
point of voting for I'rasidout MoKinloy.
This olouicnt, ho s?>s, refrained
from going to the polls. 1 -i substantia
lion of this ho points to tho faot that
tho registered voto in S^uth Carolina
in about 100 000 and loss than one half,
or about 10 000 ju rsons voted at tho
j recont olcotion. Tho vote at tho primary
election in Charleston, ho fays,
was 1 500, whilo at tho,national olcotion
it was only 2,000 Ln Columbia
tho registered white voto was 3,000,
while only 300 votes wero ca-tt. lie

8CIENCE VERSUS MAMMON
A Revolt Among tho Professors of
8tauford University.
Dr. Edward Ross, hoad professor in
tho department of economies and sociology
at Stanford University, has resigned.
Tho resignation caused quito
a sensation in university oirolcs, where
Dr. R >hs was extremely popular. In
his formal letter of resignation ho inintimated
that ho was bomg forocd out
of tho university by Mrs. Stanford,
who had taken cxoc|Hion to statomonts
mado by him in bis public address on
sooiologioal and coonmio questions,
llo further said that Mrs. Stanf.^r.l ???
prompted by certain powerful porsons
and commercial intorosts in San Franoi-co?
Sovcral of tho faculty have takon
sides wiih Dr. Ross.
I)r. Jordan, president of the university,
said today:
"In regard to tho resignation of Dr. 1
Rosa it is right that 1 should mtko a
further statemont. There is not tho
slightest evidenoo that ho is a 'martyr
to freedom of spoeoh.' Nor is thoro
any reason to bolieve that his withdrawal
has boon duo to any prossure
of capital or an v other einistor infl tonco.
I know that Mrs. Stanford's decision
was rcaohed only after long and earnest
consideration, and that its motivo was
tho wolfaro of tho university and that
alono."
Supplementing his former uttoranoos
upon tho subj rot of i'rof. Ross's dismissal,
Dr. Howard addrossod his
class in history today upon tho matter.
Tho entiro hour of tho class was givon
up to tho discussion of "froo speech."
Dr. Howard arraigood tho iofluonoos
that brought about tho dismissal of tho
professor.
i'ror. 11 ward oonoludod his gpocoh
wilh this sonsa'ional utterance:
"I do not how down to Saint Market

Six Corapanioa; noither am I afraid of

MASK THROWN OFF.
Tha Republican Party and the
Trusts.
TO BE GIVEN FREE REIN.
One of the Organs Comet Out
and Boldly Oacl ires the Republican
Position as
to Tiusts.
ThomoiL unblushing repudiation of
oarapaiga promises and oonfossion of
party hypocrisy is undo by tho Now
York Sun, tho metropolitan organ of tho
Kcpuhlioan party, in tho following:
It has boon made ovidont by tho
oleotion that tho pooplo of this oountry,
besides beiug determined to maintain
their tinano al honor in good times and
in had, aro very tired of tho howla
of cranks against oorporato enterprise
and of visionary crying of oommunistio
Utopias. Such was not tho oaso four
years ago. Dospito tho senso of relief
that was experienced ovor tho dofeat
of Bryan at that time, thoughtful men
rcaliz :d perfectly well that praotioalljr
tho same contest would havo to be
wag'd four years later, and that not
until it could bo dem instratod to poliI

appeal to tho hearts of thopcoplo could
Bryan's hold bo looped upon tho great
political party that ho had soizod. Heptthlloans
knew this as well as Democrats,
and over since tho last election
tho leaders of tho Republican party
havo tuado all sorta of efforts to plaeato
and allay what thoy feared wan
the liryanism latent in tho country by
various antitrust laws and other logialativo
measures which would havo
tho appearance of mocting half way
that hostility tooorporato and buiinosa
entcrpriao which it was fcaroi Mr.
Hryau had evoked. Nov this is
changed. There is little fear that there
will bo more anti-trust la vs at tho coming
session of Congress or at tho one
uixt after it, and it is probablo, so far
as our own Legislature is concerned,
that not only will no suoh laws bo passed
or oven introduced, but that some
hasty measures of tho sort that have
found their way to the statuto booka
will ho amended, if not ropcaled. The
net result of it all is a goooral confidence
in the health and Bolidity of
business conditions in this oountry
suoh as has not boon known in many,
many yoars. It is of a doopor and
stronger naturo than the wild buoyanoa
of tho oponing days of 1893; it is tha
settled and sercno oonviotion that, for
a timo in tho futuro beyond whioh merchants
oan not forsoo (hero is to bo aa
end to doinagocio attaok upon business."
Tho Charleston Post, whioh supported
McKinloy in tho lato olootion, says:
"Horo is an opon acknowledgment that
tho anti trust legislation promoted by
tho Hopublioans was moro sham, onaot
ed for oampaign purposos, not for
roincding an ovil, and also a declaration
that the promises of tho Republican
platform regarding the restriction of
tho trusts will not bo kopt. Tho sub*
stanoo of the statomont ia not at all a
matter of surpriao to thoae who understand
tho Kopublioan party's oharaotor,
but tho oonfoasion ia in a way a
picoo of honoHty that wo soarooly had
ezpcotcd.
