CHAUNCEY DEPEW takes a very
sensible view of the mutter. He
says : "The result could not be
attributed to any one person or
party of persons. New York
alone did not effect the result. It
was the whole country. The people
wanted n change of policy more
than of candidates and they will
have it. "
SHORTLY before the McKinley
bill went into effect the keen-eyed
merchant warned the people to
buy liberally and store goods away
for future use , as prices were
bound to ndviince when the new
tarriff law became effective. Now
the eastern brokers nre advising
their patrons to buy liberally be
cause of an inevitable advance in
prices incident to a reduction of
customs duties. With the keen-
eyed broker it is "heads , I win ;
tails , you lose. "
EDITOR MEDILL of the Chicago
Tribune who has always enter
tained a sincere admiration of
Mr. Elaine , admits that the nom
ination of the "man from Maine"
at Minneapolis would not have
changed the result of the recent
election. He thinks Elaine's popularity -
ularity might have somewhat
modified the democratic victory ,
but that it would not have altered
the general verdict. Mr. Medill
is persuaded that personal consid
erations have nothing to do with
the matter ; that it was a contest
of principles and policies , and that
the outcome clearly indicates the
dissatisfaction of the people with
the doctrine of protection. Mr.
Medill does noi venture this opin
ion as a tariff reformer , which he
is at heart , but merely as a
thoughtful and intelligent observer
of the ! situation.
SENATOR PERKINS of Kansas is
one of those who thinks that the
tariff did not have all to do with
the result of the national election.
He lays the responsibility for re
publican defeat largely . upon the
national committee , which he
charges with mismanagement in
neglecting the republican sections
of the country. "I believe our
defeat is .due to the rainbow chas
ing of the republican national
committee , " said Senator Perkins.
"Instead of giving their attention
to the republican sections of the
country , they neglected and over
looked the republican .states al
most entirely. They dissipated
and wasted their efforts where
there was no reason to expect
republican success. " This is in
line with the opinion expressed by
the Bee in discussing the causes of
republican defeat , and while criti
cism of those who had the manage
ment of the campaign is rf no
consequence now , it is well to have
it understood that democratic vic
tory was not due wholly or mainly
to popular dissatisfaction with the
< iriff policy of the republican
party. Bee.
E republican party is not
ti ! ived by defeat now any more
! mn it was in 1856 or 1881. It
iccepts occasional disaster as apart
of the fortunes of politics under a
popular form of government. The
democracy will now be put upon
trial. From 1885 to 1889 it was
iied ed in by a republican senate.
Zfow , with the aid of the populists
of the senate , it will have a major
ity , and after the 4th of March
next will be in power. It must do
oue of two things , eitner abandon
its hostility to protection or put
that hostility into practical effect.
The republican party as a political
organization can afford to await
witb equanimity the result , and as
to the effects upon the industrial
interest of the country of a return
to free trade , if such a return
should be made , in whole or in
part , they would be no worse for
republicans than for democrats.
Hard times , like good t mes , are
shared by the people , irrespective
of party. With the republicans
unfaltering in their loyalty to pro
tection that fundamental principle
. The
overthrow.
is in no dangerof
, but its fires
sun may be eclipsed
cannot be put out.

MB. EICHARD CROKER is very
frank in speaking about the feder
al patronage. "I am in favor of
the democrats taking the posses
sion of the offices , " he says :
"Now that we have won , I think
that the democrats should have
th& full results of their victory. "
The pious mugwamps who helped
elect Mr. Cleveland because they
beleived him to be a civil service
reformer can see no promise iu
this qniet but firm declaration of
Tammany principles. The price
for New York is all the federal
officers at the command of the in
coming administration. Journal.
THE London Specular is vigor
ously reproved by the New York
Sun for speaking of part of the
United States as the "eastern prov
inces. " As a rule the sun is very
good authority on everything out
side cf politics , but in this case
the reproof is not entirely a fair
one. The eastern states are in
many respects entirely provincial ,
and do not seem to be overcom
ing that youthful fault as they grow
older. The real center of the life
of this republic is now west of the
Alleghanies. Journal.
No matter who is president , in
dustry , honesty and economy will
give every American citizen a
good living , besides something to
lay by for a rainy day. There is
no danger that the dial of progress
which has been sweeping forward
so rapidly since the republicans
came into power will be turned
back by a single republican defeat.
Let us be cheerful. The democ
racy doesn't want free trade half
so badly as it wants the offices.
As soon as it fills its belly it will
go to sleep and the legislation . of
the republican congress will re
main practically undisturbed.
