CLINTON
Continued from Page IA
Clinton appeared outside the Old
Statehouse in Little Rock around mid-
night to claim his victory and thank his
supporters, joined by Vice President
Gore and their families and cheered by
thousands of jubilant supporters.
The president declared that the results
proved that the "vital American center is
alive and well" and claimed that the
results of the election "affirmed our
course" politically. "Americans have told
every one of us - Democrats,
Republicans and independents - loud
and clear, it is time to put politics aside,
join together and get the job done for
America's future;" Clinton said.
Dole, appearing surprisingly upbeat
and refreshed despite a 96-hour
marathon that concluded his campaign,
conceded about 11:30 p.m. last night
before a cheering throng of supporters
at a Washington hotel. His appearance
came about an hour after placing a tele-
phone call of congratulations to the
president in Little Rock.
"I have said repeatedly in this cam-
paign that the president was my oppo-
nent, not my enemy," Dole said. "And I
wish him well and I pledge my support
in whatever advances the cause of a bet-

When Dole conceded, staffers were
visibly upset by the news.
"I guess I'm just disappointed," said
Dole/Kemp staffer Susan Schafer. "I
don't think the better man got elected."
Michigan Gov. John Engler said it
was easy to articulate what went wrong
with the Dole/Kemp campaign.
"Democrats got more votes is what
went wrong'" he said.
Engler said Clinton won by taking
credit for Republican successes.

Republicans gathered in Lansing said
they tried to focus on "the positives.'
Engler said the Republcian majority
.in the U.S. Senate also bodes well for
the party. "It positions us well," he said.-
"We'll have a tax-cutting majorityif
Congress."
Republicans must start looking ahead
to the 1998 elections, Engler said.
"We've got a lot of work to do," he said.
