BEFORE THE BATTLE.
I
Aurora Republican : Alt h II can't do-
lea t Tom Majors.
M nden Gazette : Rosewater has made an
HSR of himself In the course he luu pursued
And Is pursuing.
Madison Chronicle : Rosey la for Judge
llolcrmb for governor. The judge should
devoutly pray , "Lord , save mo from my
friends. "
Alnsworth Star-Journal : Our adviceto E.
llotewatcr Is to get out of the woods himself
licforo trying to scare decent folks with his
licar stories.
Wahoo Wasp ; The next governor of Ne-
liraska wears a hickory shirt. Rosewater
forced the nomination ot Holcomb , but he
can't force his election.
Wahoo Wasp : The only thine under the
Bun that can defeat Tom Majors Is the un
qualified support of Rosewater and his black
mailing machine , The Omaha Bee.
Krlpnd Telegraph ; From the standpoint
of tli rePgiolis paper the best plan for The
Dee to defeat Tom Majors would bo to give
that gentleman Its undivided support.
Midlson Chronicle : Rosey says "Let us
rebuke Tom Majors now and In 1896 wo will
liove a glorious republican victory. " The
republican party has gone Into the rebuking
business all right , but his name Is not Tom
Majors. It Is one n. Rosewater.
Waco World : Rosewater's resignation and
the letter that accompanied It appear to
furnish pretty hot copy for pop papers.
Judge Maxwell's letter to The Bee last fall
did the same thing , but do you remember
the voice of the ballot box , my dear ?
Beatrice Express : It Is natural to sup-
pe30 that the editor of The Omaha Bee Is
carry enough by this time that he made
the bad break ot challenging Majors to a
church tr al. Thta unheard of and Insane
propo3ltl u has mi\Jo him the object of uni
versal rld'cule.
State Journal : Mr. E. Jonah Rosewater
Is getting a good deal more attention from
Bumlry republican editors than the occasion
Justifies , Rosey has got his dose at last , and
the Inscription over the hole he made In the
vaUr shr.uld bo "II. I. P. , " which being In
terpreted reads , "Let him rip. "
lleatrlca Express : We hear a great deal
obiut Mr. Rosewater during this campaign ,
liut we'll never hear much of him after this
year. With the election of Majors ho will
liavo rci-ched the end ot his rope for good
und all ; and the election ot Majors Is as
certain as the coming of the assessor.
Wahoo Wasp : Tom Majors Is the one man
In this ntato who can and will rid the re
publican party of Its greatest enemy. Rose-
watcrlsm , nnd the rallying cry that has Just
ticgun for him will sweep over the state and
lirlng &uch a grand republican victory
that the whole notion will rejoice as one
man.
iMifJocfc Tribune : The potentiality of
Colonel EiT Rosewater's pull will not be fully
Icnown until after the fall election , and we
will be In suspense- till then as to whether
wo will mlbs him or not. Wo have come
slight misgiving the demonstration at the
etato convention would never have been given
an inconsiderable factor.
Alnsworth Star-Journal : The Omaha Bee
lias opened Its batteries upon Tom Majors.
This would tie unbearable were It not for the
lucky fact that Majors Is able to fortify him
self behind the recent legislative Investigat
ing committee's olaclal report , which alleges
that , the person who does much ot the writ
ing tor The Bee Is Intellectually and morally
Irreponslbte for his uttcran.ce.
Sioux County -Journal : There is one thing
of which the readers ot The Omaha Bee are
certain , and that ts that Rosewatcr wantc
Tom Majors to bo the next governor ot Ne
braska. It Is about as certain as death and
taxoi that whoever The Bee fights will be
chosen and elected by the republicans. The
light of Rosewater Is making more friends
for Majors than anything else ,
Ojceola Record : Judge Holcomb is "hoo
dooed. " and the best kind of a rabbit's left
hlndfoot , killed In a graveyard at midnight ,
etc. , will not save him. First , he Is runnint
on the populist ticket. That would kill on ;
man politically. Second , ho was nominated
on Friday. Just think ot that. If he did
happen to survive the first this would catcl
him. Third , and this does settle it. Thi
Omaha Bee ts making a personal fight ot
Hotcomb'a opponent.
Kearney Hub : In Tom Majors' speech al
Omaha a few evenings since he assured hli
hearers that ho would be elected , und that hi
would make the best governor Nebraska hai
over had. Ho also reminded his hearen
that when they should call at the otllco o
the next governor they wouldn't have to sent
their cards In on a platter , but they couU
walk right In and address him as plain Tom
At nrat blush this may seem a trifle egotistic
tut there Is no doubt that ho means ever ]
word of lf.
State Journal : No nomination made to :
ten years has created more enthusiasm amonj
the rank and ( lie ot the republican party ti
this state than that of Thomas J. Majors fo
the governorship. His personal followlni
la so largo as to bo an element of tremcndoui
strength In every township In the wholi
state. The vote by which * he will ba electc <
will show that the guerilla fightingdoni
against him has only Increased the zeal o
his friends and swelled the number of hi
ballots by several thousand.
Fremont Tribune : The republicans of Ne
braska were warned In two columns of spaci
In The Bee to beware ot nominating si
corrupt a man as Majors , and this Inclden
was referred to In Rosewator's letter resign
Ing his position as national commltteeman a
ono of his reasons for burning the brldgi
behind him. After Tom Majors had beci
nominated and after the Rosewatcr reslgna
tlon had been accepted with howling en
thuslasm by the state convention , Mr. Major
took the. platform and cut every Inch o
ground from under the little bushwhacker.
Bhelton Clipper : Rosewater would hav
proved hlmcolt the prince of hypocrites If h
bad supported Majors after the latter wa
nominated. He personally despises Major :
and he exerted himself to prevent the nom
Illation by saying all the despicable thing
lie dared , thinking the republican party woul
not nominate the man It did with Rosewate
lighting him. But Rosewaier was mistaken
and ha had to go to supporting Holcomb edie
die no one for governor. And It will prov
the greatest mistake ot Rosewater's life , fo
lie has lost his Influence and is greatly In
jurlng his business ,
Ansley Chronicle : There Is altogether to
much Btlr being manifested over Mr. Rose
water and The Bee on the nomination o
Mr , Majors as governor. . It Is the prlvlleg
of Mr. Rosewater to vote and work as h
pleases , and as editor ot The Bee he haa th
absolute right to dictate the policy of hi
paper. Any course Mr. Rose-water sees fit t
pursue should not In the least dlsconccr
republicans In the state , as It will have n
more effect on the general result In Novom
her than the opposition of any other on
man. Mr. Rosewater was never a power I
this state from any real merit In himself a
a party worker or organizer.
To Edward Rosewater : If expe
rlence Is wcrth anything you ought to be rlc
In knowledge. You ought to know that you
continued opposition to Majors Is almost cei
tain to bring a great victory for that cand
date , and It would seem that Itshould b
perfectly clear to yu that the "best metho
ot defeating Thomas Majors" would be fc
your newtpaprr to support him. We at
firmly convinced that Mr. Majors will b
elected ; that Is , so long as present condition
are undisturbed ; but should you decide t
advocite thla candidate' ! election we woul
hot haiard an old Iron nail on his electlor
Assuring you ot our mwt poignant coir
ml ratlon In this the hour ot your anilctlot
we have the honor to subscribe ourselve ;
your * respectfully , THE LINCOLN CALL.
Orleans Progress : Near the caster

medium through which Skunk Oil can vent
his spleen concerning all things outside of
Omaha which he cannot control. This fall
the republican party ot Nebraska , rightly
thinking It had a few rights of Its own In
which this gawed-off-and-hammered-down
little cusi could not dictate , nominated a
clean republican ticket , the head of which
Deems not to please the chunk of clay that
has been disgraced by the tenement within.
To obtain revenge for this "Insult" thrust
at the miniature jack , ho has turned his
head In an opposite direction and Is kicking
at that ticket like a bay mule. And the more
ho kicks the farther down and the less
effective are the Jars. His front feet are
on the sinking quicksands and a tow more
violent exertions will carry him beyond that
place where he could bo ot any benefit.

that The Omaha Bee Is more potential than

New York has gone for Morton ,

Cleveland's out of politics ,
And Dave Hill is mighty sore.
The wave has struck Virginia.
Wilson struggled witha will ,
And this Is on his monument :
"Gone to answer for his bill. "
And out In young Nebraska ,
Where the pops have been on deck ,
You cannot find a trace of them ;
They were beaten by old "Speck. "
And even Colorado

She's downed the dcmo-popull.
And beaten Governor Watte ,
It was a. famous victory.
From Maine to'Puget sound ,

And has run the pops aground.
And oh , thou poor old Rosey !
And thy little stlngless Bee ;
You surely made a blunder.
And you have our sympathy.

And won't kick against the pricks.
THAT IN CUB ABED VOTE.
Some Light Thrown on Unturns from West
ern Nebraska CounMct.
Congressman W. A. McKclghan and an
other prominent populist who was a candidate
for the legislature arrived In the city yester
day and brought with them the solution of an
election puzzle that has been the source ol
much work and worry on the part of political
'
statisticians. .
In all of the ante-election estimates It was
generally conceded that there would be a
falling off. In the number of votes In' some ol
the western counties of the state owing to the
exodus of drouth-stricken farmers from the
state. The returns , however , were a sur
prise to every one , except the manipulators
who were responsible for the result. In the
counties , where the biggestslump In vote !
was expected the returns showed a largo In
crease in the vote over last year. In the
town of. McCook , tor instance , more votat
were polled this year for Tom Majors than
were cast last year by the voters of all par
ties. In absence of any report ot a boom In
McCook or Red Willow county this vote wet
something of a puzzler to politicians whc
claimed to be well posted on the situation in
the state , but the explanation ot Mr. Me-
Kelghan's friend makes the matter plain r.i
day.
day.That
That gentleman says that shortly before
election his party made a poll ot Willow
Qrovo precinct , which Includes the town ol
McCook , and verified the poll In sevsra
ways. The result ot the canvass was tin
listing ot 437 voters. The election return !
show , however , that 613 votes were polled It
that precinct. Speaking ot the cause for thi
remarkable Increase In the vote , he said :
"There are settlements all along the mail
line ot the B. & M. ot Russians and otlici
foreigners who live In dugouts on the Town
site company's lands. These people wen
colonized by the Burlington pluggora and vote.

but little English and answered all ot thi
questions ot the- election officials with , "Yaw

wore all brought back from all parts of tin
country to vote for Majors. Down at Indian

men took him to the polls and voted him. Tin
judges asked him If he had lived In the pre
clnct the required number of days and he re
piled that he had not. They asked if he ha <
come Into the precinct with the Intention o
remaining and making It his permanent rest
dence. He replied that ho had not. but tha
he Intended to get out ot Indlanola Just a :
soon as he could get out of Jail , but the ]
swore , him In and voted him for Majors jus
the same.
"There waj another peculiar condition o
affairs at McCook. Some ot the B. & M

candidate for county treasurer. They hai

tlons to vote for only the republican stat

stop when they reached the precinct ticket
but they had ben so well drilled on the lin
portanco ot 'voting for everything markei
'republican' that many of them voted th
entire ticket , and came very near defeatlni
the railroad candidate for county treasurer. '
Congresiman McKelghan stated that he hai
a larger vote In every county In his dlstrlc
than ho had two years ago , and yet his opponent
ponont had a majority over him. He wa
certain that frauds had been practiced , bu

Hour In Lincoln.
LJNCOLN , Nov. U. ( Special. ) The scna-
orlal fight Is now wide open. Church Howe
eems to have a fairly well equipped scn-
torlal machine south ot the Plattc. That
: Is being most energetically worked for all
t U worth goes without saying. John M.
'hurston's forces In this locality are rallying
n good shape- . The bitter statement that he
acrlflced gubernatorial Interests north of the
latte In favor of the legislature Is now being
Igorously dented and combatted. Alt things
onsldcred , the senatorial situation up to
ate Is moat complicated. The B. & M.
rowd has started In to name the next sen-
tor , and propose to leave no means untried
o succeed. It la evident that there' must bo
largo number of concessions bcforo any
real headway can be made In the way of
omblnatlon.
For the position of warden of the penltcn-
lary there are at least two candidates fre-
, uently mentioned , James O'Shee , ono of the
Mermen ot the Lincoln council , and J. V.
Volfe , treasurer of the Independent executive
ommtttee. A person named Sheridan Is said
o have an eye on "the pen , " but his chances
ro considered decidedly microscopical.
A large number of early birds seeking some
me of the thirty odd petitions In the gift of
lovernor-elect Holcomb have discovered that
Iroken Bow is the place toward which they
hould wing their flight Instead of Lincoln ,
udge Holcomb has said that ho will proceed
o close up much of his legal buslnosa In the
arlous counties In his judicial district before
he resigns. H Is also reported that he will
'eslgn as soon as he can accomplish this and
xmrtcously penult Governor Crounsa to name
ils successor.
Mr. Henry C. Russell , newly elected commls-
loner of public lands and buildings , Is here
ooklng up a residence in which to move at
an early day. He , too , Is being dally sub-
ected to Importunities of a horde of petty
ilaco hunters. The story that ho proposes to
males a clean sweep In his office has , doubt-
ess , greatly accelerated this onslaught.
Returns from counties known to be favor-
iblo to Judge Holcomb are very slow In coni
ng Into the ofllca of the secretary of state.
This evening there had been received returns
.om but sixty-seven counties , leaving twen'y-
hreo to hear from. Most of these counties
ire north of the Platte , and ore known to
iave given Holcomb good pluralities. The
rounty clerk of Phelps county has corrected
ils error and forwarded a new return to the
secretory of state. The vote Is now tabu-
ated : Holcomb , 1,136 ; Majors , 840.
There Is now considerable talk wafted Into
republican headquarters , now centralized at
the capltol , concerning a probable election
contest to be brought by Dougherty against
< em In the Sixth district. It Is claimed by
3augherty that Kern's name was on the
: lcket twice , and that the name was marked
.wlco with crosses on a sufficient number of
ilckets to have turned the scale In favor of
Daugherty.
At Independent headquarters they have
been figuring on the present strength of the
pops In this state. They claim United States
Senator William V , Allen. Governor Silas A.
Holcomb , congressman from the Sixth Dis
trict O. M. Kem , Supreme Court Commis
sioner John M. Regan , Mayor II. W. Weir ,
Lincoln , 350 county offices , nine state senators
and twenty-one members of the 'home.

KANSAS CITY , Nov. 14. Tho. Star , inde
pendent , and the Journal , republican , continue
today the publication ot sensational articles ,
charging the election of J. H. Bremmerman ,
democrat , for prosecuting attorney , and J.
B. Keshlear , democrat , for county marshal ,
ia been stolen. To Mr. Bremmerman's re-
ily that he could' not question the honor ol
its party by declining the office , and that the
charges , were , general , the Star submits seven
specific charges.
Seven precincts of the city are named , In
: ach ot which , the paper alleges , that a num
ber of votes , sufficient to change the result ,
were deliberately transferred from the col
umn occupied by Jainteson , republican , to
that of Bremmerman. Attention is called
to 1lio fact that for all candidates , excepting
Sloan , republican , for county marshal , the
official vote tallies exactly with the vote an
nounced by precincts by the recorder of votes.
It Is pointed out as a remarkable fact that the
official count changes Sloane's vote only In
two precincts , and that these changes , like
Bremmerman , are also just sufficient to over
come Sloane's announced plurality and to
elect Keshlear , democrat. Citizens of Kan
sas City recently raised a fund to prosecute
men for alleged crookedness at the polls elec
tion day In several wards. The newspapers
that are now taking up this fight make the
charge that members of a .so-called political
gang have stolen the offlcoi of prosecutor
and marshal , believing that this move might
protect them from arrest or Imprisonment ,

BROKEN BOW , Neb , , Nov. 14. ( Special
Telegram. ) A large audience gathered at the
North Side opera house tonight In honor ol
the city's highly honored citizen , Judge Hoi-
comb , governor-elect , and Congressman Kem.
Political difference vras obliterated in the
gathering. Butter politicians who but recently
wera arrayed against the successful candi
dates 'had laid aside their differences and
were vicing with each other In their efforts
to make the occasion pleasant for all. Aa
friends and neighbors they met to manifest
their high affection for the governor-elect ,
who Is held In the highest esteem of the
whole community , irrespective of party af
filiations , position or condition In life.
At the reception Governor Holcomb wat
accompanied by his wife and mother. After
the ordeal ot a general handshaking , which
was extended to the governor-elect and Con-
gretsnian Kem , the program of the evening ,
consisting of music and toasts , was rendered ,
The toasts were responded to by C. W. Beal ,

AFTER- THE BATTLE.
II ( > ' !
Geneva Republican ; , , Jf Rosewater and The
DM didn't do It , what , dJd ?
Tender Times : t'jiufaton ' count- owed Tom
Majors nothing he/ got his pay , too.
Hralimrd Tribune : Majors , but lie Is the
only republican on earth that didn't get
elected ,
Lincoln News : In the matter ot governors
: t would seem that the republican party nom-
nates and Mr , Rosewater preaomlnates.
Lincoln Call : Judge Holcomb seems to
have received the votes , and the Call Is pre
pared to officially recognize him as the gov
ernor-elect ,
Fremont Herald : Who said Rosewater
was not a republican ? Guess he will be
cordially Invited to take part In the arrange
ment of the ticket In the ( uturc.
Genoa Banner : In spite of the strenuous
efforts made by the railroads and bankers'
association of Omaha to defeat him , Mr. Hol
comb will be Nebraska's next governor.
Randolph Reporter ! Rosewater Is certainly
entitled to a long and loud crow. He has at
least convinced the people that It Isnoi ,
necessary that everything The Bee supports
Is doomed to defeat.
Strong Reporter : Judge Silas A. Holcomb
Is elected for Nebraska's next governor by
about 2,000 plurality In splto ot the state
house ring and the great railroad corpora
tions , which have spent money BO lavishly.
Greeley Citizen : The election of Holcomb
Is due to the persistent efforts of the unfet
tered republicans , who were able to rise above
party and make an effort to save the state
from Us plunderers , and they have again put
a man on guard who will do all In his power
to save the people from bring robbed.
Falrflcld Tribune : Where , 0 where Is
Tom Majors , his striped shirt , his 20,000 ma
jority , his sale ambition to bo governor ot
Nebraska ? The Tribune gave you notice
last week that he would be snowed under.
It was correct , for Silas A. Holcomb Is elected
governor of Nebraska by over 2,000 majority.
Geneva Republican : Perhaps the astonish
ing thing about the vote of Flllmore county
Is that outside of governor every republican
candidate got pluralities ranging from 162 to
299 , while the republican candidate for gov
ernor had a plurality against htm of 13 votes.
This will give the politicians something to
ftguro on for the next year or two.
Nlobrara Pioneer : It Is a remarkable
victory for Judge Holcomb when It Is con
sidered that he comes out against 10,000
plurality cast for Governor Crounso two
years ago , and In the face of the Influence of
gigantic corporations and their army of paid
emissaries. To Edward Rosewater and his
Omaha Hoc must bo given a large share of
credit for thla victory ,
Kearney Sun : While the .election of Hol
comb Is a republican-defeat. It Is In no sense
a populist victory , 'because ho was the candi
date of two parties , neither of whom have
had the hardihood ito claim his election as a
party victory , for the reason that Rosewater
stands on the banks' pt the muddy Missouri
and _ appropriates tljo laurels of triumph as a
just tribute to the seU-constltuted conquer
ing hero. T
Wayne Forumi Tlnfs ever be It to cor-
ruptlonlsts. What jwe say of Thomas J.
Majors , , pplltlcallyllwp. should like to say of
every man of every parjy who has attempted
jpr may attempt tjje same corrupt method ! )
In politics. Against- the man , personally , we
have no words -reproach to hurl. He Is
the representative "wf" " a class who are to be
ouncl Ih , each of the. p6lltlcal parties. Upon
this class ' ( he eaglq , cyes of Justice and right
should over bo kept. q
Central City Democrat : Holcomb's elec
tion Is alRosewataiwlotory , and no one else
can claimany ! glory.wvThe' democrats cannot
elect anybody In Nebraska. Neither can the
pops. Both of , thesd together could not elect
a statp officer. Mr. Rosqwater stepped Intc
the breach and gave us a governor and
allowed us to win a few thousand dollars from
enthusiastic republicans. Blessings on The
Bee. What will the politicians do with
Roseniter ? They had better take his ad
vice hereafter , but they won't.
Wlsner Chronicle ( rep. ) : The Chronicle ,
at the close of- the recent hotly contested
campaign , desires to express Its acknowl
edgement of the many congratulations ant ]
words of endorsement and encouragement
which It has received all through the canvass
from 1U friends. Stalwart republicans , whc
have grown gray In the service of the party
no less than the members of other parties
have commended its course. It waa a ills-
agreeable duty imposed upon us by the Ae-

Wood River Interests : Because Majors
tlia republican candidate for governor , was
defeated Is no Indication that Nebraska is no
solidly republican. The manner In w.lilch hi
received his nomination , and the number ol
corporation cappers and railroad heeler :
with which he keeps himself surrounded , wai
very distasteful to a large number ot the rani
and ( lie of the republicans. The return !
prove that there was a strong disaffection Ir
the republican ranks. The balance of tin
state ticket was elected by 10,000 , he wai
defeated by 3,000. Besides , It Is a wel
known fact that a large body of the admlnls
tratlon straight democrats voted for him
Front Interests' standpoint. Instead of repub
llcana being downcast over the defeat o
Majors , we believe they should rather be thi
reverse , for It Is our belle
that It Is one ot the best things Urn
could ever happen to the republican party
for It Is an emphatic setting down upon thi
leaders ot a pernicious element of the party
Lincoln Call : Several times In the cam
pain just ended wo stated that the republlcai
party Itself -was to blame for the populls
uprising in Nebraska ; that had It not bcoi

publican ofllce holders and the indlfferenci

characterized many ot the leaders ot thi
party the farmers' alliance would not' havi
entered politics and there would have beei
no formidable populist movement as an out
growth ot this organization. This , as even
Intelligent resident of this state knows , I :
the truth. In the Interim now between tin
election and the assumption of power In thi
legislature It would be well for the legls
lators and state offlctrs-elect. as well as thi
leaders of the part/f-gi nerally , to reflect 01

Kearney Hub : T n't re Is sufficient In th
Increased rcpubllcan.aiajorltlea in Nebraska-
an overwhelming majority In the leglslaturi
a gain ot two republican congressmen , an
the election of all the state ticket gave th
head to connote republicans In the losa ot th
governor , True , In these days of generi
republican rejoicing , when populism In th
west and democracy In the east have bee
put to rout and a new star of republlcanUt
ms risen In the south , Nebraska republicans
would prefer to point with pride to n com-
ilete victory In this state , but the mischief
las been done and there Is no use to grieve
about It. It Is just as well , however , to
ook the cause of defeat squarely In the face
and extract from the result a lesson that will
> c of use to the republican party ot this
state In the years to come. Every one knows
.hat there wcra many good men
n the the state whoso nomi
nation for governor would have called out
.he united vote ot the party. But none of
: heso were chosen. There are thousands ot
republicans In Nebraska who deemed the
nomination of Majors the very height of
unwisdom , but who , nevertheless , gave him
a loyal support and did their best to elect
lilm In the face of the bitter opposition
Ills nomination created. There were thous
ands of other republicans not swayed by
political considerations who could not be
licld In line oven In the face of the menace
of populism , mul It Is this latter class whose
votes elected Judge Holcomb governor. The
unnecessary Interference of the B. & M.
llullroad company In recurlng his nomination ,
and a widespread belief that Mr. Majors'
rotations with that corporation were alto
gether too close , along with a general feel
ing that he had been honored to the limit
of his personal deserts , caused a strong re
action In the republican party. The result Is
known , and defeat and humiliation are the
price that has been paid for folly. It Is not
probable , however.that the party will over
repeat the folly. It IB not probable that the
party will ever again go Into the vindicating
business , or bo Influenced by dislike for any
man or newspaper , or fall Into the trap of
the railroad Influence , to make a nomination
that will destroy harmony , offend the pro
prieties and Invite defeat at the outset.
Had It not been that thousands of republi
cans felt called upon to choose between two
evils , viz. , corporation manipulation on one
hand and the danger of populist administra
tion on the other , the revolt would have
been so general that Majors would have been
defeated by ten or fifteen thousand. Fortu
nately the republican victory otherwise Is
so complete that Holcomb will be powerless ,
oven It Inclined to carry out a populist
policy , and viewed In this light It certainly
to Impossible for Mr. Majors or his friends
to lay up any Just grievance against his
party or any member of It. The fact Is
that what has happened must have happened
some time. In no other way could the party
be freed from the Incubus of the old factions
and railroad domination. Nebraska railroads
will have to go out of politics or go out of
business. But they will take the hint and
keep their hands off. Two years from now
the west will name the republican candidate
for governor and the people will elect him.
The blunder of the late election * will be
atoned for and the lesson of today will bo
sufficient for years to come.
