Thinks Result of Election Shows
That Democracy is
?
GROWING STRONGER.
Says That McCarren, McClallan, Jerome
and Croker all Contributed to De?
feat of Hearst, Whose Heroic
Straggle Brought Victory
to Rest of Ticket.
Commenting on the results of Tuesday's
elect-Ion Williim J. Bryan
Thursday night Issued a statement,
in part rs follows: \
"The election of 1906/indloates a
trend in favor of the Democratic
pariy. It proves that the Da;nocrv
tic party is growing stronger as Ro
publican policies are developed. In

viotory id spite of the tremendous
efforts put forth in behalf of tho Administration.
The Republicans had
all the money they wauled. They
bad the support of all the great cor
porMions and at the olcso they had
whatever intluenoa the Admloistration
could lead. The fact that the
Demqcr&ta elected every State officer
excepting the G ivernor sho*s that iu
the Empire State the Ilapuolio&n
party ba .jeen repudiated.
The defeat of Mr, |?earst, the
Demoo^atio and Indepeuuenee League
candidate for Governor, while a grer
disappointment to his friends and to
the party, 1b explained by facts whiob
rob Mr. Hughe's viotory of both glory
and political significance. Mr. MoOarrcn,
whom Mr. Hearst denounced
as a boss, threw his inliu-too to
Hughes and cut down Mr. Hearst's
votes in Brooklyn. Mayer Nc01*N
lap, tht legality of whoso eleotlon Mr.
Hearst, hi>d denied, used his influence
for Mr. Hughes and out down the
Hearse vote in N^w York. Mr
Jerome, the prosecution attorney of
New York, who had also b?er> attackfid
hv Mr Hftarnt. Hiir?nnrf?d t.ho R
publican ticket and bis iLiiuencs wsu?
felt in Qreater New York. Mr.
Oroker, during the last days of the
campaign made an attack upon M \
Hearst which doubtless weakened
the Demooratlo candidate among the
Tamm&nyites. Mr. Murpby, the
head of Tammany, while supporting
the tioket, could not put much enthusiasm
into the campaign owing to
the personal controversies which he
had with Mr. Hearst. It Is evidert,
therefore, that Mr. Hughes owes his
viotory not to Republican votes, but
to Democratic vottB brought to him
by the very men wbom he and the
Republican leaders have been do
nounoing for years.
"Piesioent Roosevelt oannot tin/
very much oauso for rej doing in tin
New York returns. To have b\s o^r ,

The PifcsUieht'a porsok&l attack oMr.
H?art was iu bad taste, to s?j
the 1 ast.
"Mr. Hearst is, of course, dlsap
foi ilea, ana yes wnen &n ine ihcih
are known be baa muob to congratu
late himself upon. He made a tremendous
fight against great odds,
and while he himself failed of election
his berolo struggle brought ylotory to
the rest of the ticket. His personal
enemies have contributed to his de
feat, but the triumph of his Ideas
till leaves him In a position to con
tlnue the fight tor the protection of
the publio against the enoroach
ments of predatory wealth.
"If the trend toward ,Demooraoy
continues as strong for tfcfc next two 1
years as It had been for the last two
years, New York can be counted 1
among tbe Democratic States In 1908
and Mr. Hearst Is in a position to ao '
valiant woik In scouring a national 1
triumph for progressive, Democratic '
Ideas. 1
"The Republicans have had an effective
campaign cry In 'standing by
tbe President.' While the record
showed tbat the Demoorats In the
Senate and House stood by the Presi
dent better than the Ropublioans, the
admirers of the President very naturally
gave weight to his appeal for a J
Rjpublloan Congress, although in ;
making tbe appeal the President put

years from now that appeil will be cf *
no avail, for the President will not be *
In offioe after March 4, 1908. Even If
he were a candidate?wblon no friend
of his can assume after his repeated \
declarations?he would have to con ?
front the third term Issue, and who t
would say that that issue alone would ,

numbor of nmrricd people grew suddenly
in one day, early Suuoay mentug
Commissioner Watson marrying
no lcs* tbau twenty-nine 0 'uplas, reduoiDg
t/> bli extent the number of
el gl'olei for baohelnrs and maids at

Vary few of the immlgrmh;
8pc?al English. The religion
of the Immigrants is mostly (JaJvlto,
with, however, a goou number of Lutherris.
All the cabin pasKcngpra left Charleston
Sunday Kfv.eru..o;' for Columbia
and tho greater part of the steerage
paKsorger?? will also go to the oapitol,
and there be distributed by Commissioner
Watson's ( dice. The places to
wbiob immigrants are tloket^d are as
follows: Aiidorson, hester, D.Tllngton,
Columbia, Fort Mill, Glendale,
Gretnvllle, Harisvllle, Lxno^ter,
Greer?, Lockhart, Welford and Warrcnvlllc,
as far as can he now stated.
The departure of the passengers was
facilitated by the Southern railway
hr-vlng a lu nber of cars on the East
Shore terminal tracks under tho personal
direction of Division Superintendent
Hunt. The passengers are
generally of a fine class. Several of
the oabln passtuge.it> are particularly
well to do. one of the numbor being a
wealthy farmor of 40,000 fr%? c<, who
I is gclii i to prospect In thlssfcaie. V ry
j f"w of tho passer gors will remain in
Charleston, notwithstanding hit large
I dcm.rud for tho help.
Toe number of immigrants wc.uld
have fonen still larger but for the fact
th&t toe agricultural p -Ople aro uud r
;i>n tracts aud ecu Id not leave their
farms. These centric a will, however,
navo Japsod by the linue that the next
steamer doparbS. The present law
also f >rbld3 the cirrvlng of seoondoIkbb
ptuwengtrd from Denmark, which
1 will not bo In effect at the time of
I the next nailing. Tl e number of passengers
would have been still larger
from the northern part of Europe but
for a publication in a St. Nichols pa*
per of the moat exaggerated accounts
of the Atlanta riot.
It should bo stated to Col. Watson's
oredlt also that he has secured what
no other national or state representative
has ever been able to seoure?the
sanotlon of the Belgian government
for the emigration of the people from
that country. Baron de Favereu was
especially helpful and oooperatlve, as
was the Oommessalre D'Emigration
Ohapelle in assisting him to seoure the
sanction of the government. The Belgian
people are especially fine weavers,
and Ool. Watson stands committed
to return them to their country If
they rjre not tatisiled with their lot
here; but he Is oort&tn that they will
all be well plaoed and will not dc:lr*
to return.
