Bryan Wires McKinley. -Thursday immediately .after re ceiving Senator Jones' telegram Mr. Bryan wrote the following' dispatch: "Hon. William , McKinley,- Canton, O. : Senator .Toues has just informed m that tho returns indicate your electioi and I hasten to extend my congratula tions. We have submitted the issui to the American people and their w is law. Signedl , "Wilmam J. Bktam." McKinley Hears the News. At Canton, O., Major McKinley re ceived tbe returns in various narta of the house. Early in tho eveuing he sat in bis study where, he heard the news of his nomination. : After dinnt 1 he moved into the dining - room ano in an arm chair near the , head of. the .auie Mbicli Lad Leen converted into Jei-k for tbe filing of returns. Major McKinley heard the news with his usu al calm demeanor. 'He sat quietly while the first news of the great battle came in and smoKed bis arter-dmner cigar. He became interested as thd news became more copious aud definite and kept up a running comment on tbe subject of the report. His study was given o7er to the newspaper correspon dents and tho returns were read aloud to them after they had been scanned ly the Major. Congratulations begau early to be showered upou him, but he refused to take anything for granted and said be would not assume that he was elected until the actual retnrn were all in. He declined to let tele grams of congratulation bo sent out by the newspapers, though he felt abso lutely certain of his election, for the reason that b? did atvrsntthe senders of the congratulatory messages d feel embarrassed in case he happened to be defeated " " At midnight, as the bells sounded, all-of the marching clubs, of Canton, headed by a firing squad from one ol the militia companies, and followed by 5,000 yelling citizens withdiums,' and pistols descended like an invading army on Major McKinley s residence. Several volleys were fired aud. the noise from the shouting enthusiast almost drowned tbe report of the rifles. At midnight, and not a second be fore, Maj. McKinley admitted publicly that he fell assured of his election. He made no announcement of the fact that he believed he Lad been chosen by the American people to the highest office within their gift, bnt he allowed his friend to congratulate bim -when they passed about him. They offered him congratulations early in the eve uiug but he gently put aside the pleas ant words and insisted that be could not accept the congratulations until it was more decisive. Mr. McKinley made no declaration of any tort. He merely said a few words to his friends. v - The cheering was deafening. The surrounding country poured its in habitants into Canton and .they came by rail- from nearby cities. At 1 o;clock it wss estimated that there was 25,000 people gathered in the, vicinity of McKinley's home. How Bryan Heard the News. At Lincoln. Neb., Mr. Bryan re ceived the returns at his residence. H? bad slept well most of the afternoon and felt much refr shed when tho news began coming in. Two Postal tele graph wires had been run into Mr. Bry au'a residence, one connecting with Democratio national headquarters in Chicago and the other for regular bul letins. Both instruments, an operator at each, were placed in the ; library, m hile in the adjoining dining room, a nvtoro Union operator received tbe bulletins furnished by that company. It had been understood among the friends of tbe Democratic candidate that be was to be left alone on election niffht. and as a consequence none of the local supporters or neighbors of Mr. Bryan gathered at the little D street residence. Alter , supper jut. rryau pit on a velvet house .jacket and wrnt up stairs to the private office he bad tablished since his nomination. Mrs. Br van remained with bim there during - a a i ? the evening. husDana ana wne receiv ing tbe bulletins fresh- from the wire and reading and comparing . them to gether. The wire connecting with Democratio headquarters was idle nearly all the time. A few dispatches tor Mr. Brvan came from Ctiairmau Jonea earlv in tbe evening. Their purport was not made ; known by Mr. Bryan. .- - 1 At 15 minutes after midnight Mr. Brvan fell asleep and it was decided not to awaken bim till morning. - " The Next Congress.

I; ssy the Legislature is I fear, against us In many counties where there wm fa niou letween the Republicans, and Populists in the connty tbe fusion ticket for the Legislature is elected.

South Carolina has done"her dnty to herself and given tbe Bryan-Sewall ticket a handsome vote The rote ow iug to the rainy weather, the counter part of what waa experienced four years ago, and the knowledge that a ith three other .electoral tickets iu the field nothing could defeat tht Brysn electors, was small in this State. It was expected to be about 65,000. The indications are that it will fall possibly 15,000 short of that figure Up . to; midnight returns received from over ; ona hnddred precincts in the Stai e , gave . Bryan 1 0, 761, McKinley 3,174 and Palmei 627. These reports come from points in all portions of tbe btate, and indi cate that . the ratio - given will be pre served.
