Homo Conclusions
Enough returns havo now been re
ceived from tho rocont election to indi
cate dofluitoly tho trend of Houtlmout
in tho country That Rontlinent scorns
to bo practically unanimous in support
of tho present national administration
and its mothod of dealing with uow
questions of unwonted moment
Iyery effort has been mado by tho
opposition to discredit President Mo-
Kinloy and the government in the minds
of tho pooplo Every Haw 1ms boon
picked and oxposod Tho molo hlll hns
been persistently nnd skilfully enlarged
into the mountain Mans prejudices
and greed and sympathy havo been
spurred into tho urona and mado to
play an important part No posBlblo
chanco for tho formation of political
capital has boon allowed to pass unob
served by tho fusionists with a party
aud a favorito at stako
As a conseqtionco tho campaign has
been of unusual interest and marked
with oxtraordinnry activity by both
parties in tho Hold While this hns been
genorally truo throughout tho United
States it has boon especially truo in No
braska and Ohio whoro tho storm
conters wero
Naturally tho republicans havo been
on tho defensive and tho fusionists havo
boon tho aggressors Tho record of tho
formor party and its actions and achieve
ments during tho past threo yours aro
not only matters of history but aro bo
foro tho oyes of tho world and tho solo
offort of tho fusionists has beon to tarn
ish thoir splendor to discredit tho
achievements
Havo thoir efforts boon satisfactory
Look at tho roturns from Ohio Iowa
Now Jorsoy Kansas South Dakota
Pennsylvania and othor states in which
elootiouH wero hold
These conclusively and uuequivocnlly
stato that tho administrations policy
has boJn satisfactory that its business
mothods dosorvo backing that In fact
tho pooplo aro satisllod and happy
Nebraska is tho ono stato in which
tho majority of its votors havo appar
ently said tho administration is uot
what we dosiro its efforts to please
us havo beon in vain
Still thoro aro mitigating circum
stances ovon in Nebraska In tho first
placo tho ropublicau rauks havo not
beon disrupted tho party voto was
almost as strong as two yoars ago Nor
aro tho mombors of that party dismayed
they aro already buckling ou tho
armor preparatory to tho battle of 1 100
with a courapo and enthusiasm that
brooks uo permanont dofeat
Another reason for the result iu Ne
braska is thut many of us nro homo
worshipors and whoever conies from our
stato is all right They deemed
tho fact of tho 6tato having had a cau
didato for tho presidouoy through the
grace of ono of tho groat national parties
iu 1801 aud tho possibility of hisrenoini
nation a sufllciont iucoutivo uot only to
accord him and his party thoir voto but
to work for thorn with might and maiu
This fooling nlouo was respousiblo for
thousands of votes Aud it was persist-
outly worked by tho fusionists Mr
Bryans pesonnlity and his ambitions
having beon thrust to tho frout contin
ually
Another and it is boliaved a vital
consideration wos that tho natiounl
loaders of tho ropublicnu party did not
fear Bryan as much ns other members
of his party aud thoy woro willing that
he should havo all tho prestigo ho could
gain by tho showing of a fusion victory
iu Nebraska thus giving him a stopping
stono to tho nomination next year
The fight thoreforo was loft almost
wholly to stato politicians whilo tho
fusionists had tho pick of tlieir men of
natioual fnmo to assist them iu keep
ing Nebraska iu lino

havo tho result of placiug Mr Bryan iu

Thoro nro two essentials to successful
