K The ceaseless clicking' of the operat ors' keys sounded all alike to us elec tion night. Let's sec ? A safe and sane demo crat. What sort of a looking critter is he anyway ? The onlv pebble on the political beach since Tuesday's tidal wave that the fusionists can see is Hilly Mitchell. The political prophet, "1 told you so," lies buried just back of Tiik IIiiij am) office. The sweeping republican victory of Tuesday brought his useful life to an untimely end. No tombstone marks his last resting place cither. As usual, Editor Kosewater of the Omaha Bee succeeded in having him self arrested for libel before' the elec tion passed off in Douglass county. Most politicians prefer to be interviewed on such occasions, but Kosewater de sires something more exciting. It will be unnecessary for our John Maher to send congratulations to Judge Parker on his large majority in Ne braska. John was an enthusiastic prophet, but a lack of Parker votes fatls to confirm the Nebraskan's pre dictions while a guest at Esonus. Even nature took a shot at the de feated forces laBt Tuesday by kicking up a row during the night and sending the mercury down t6 zero. Not satis fied with this, the weather mau sent a good sized snow storm to tantalize us with the horrors of lost bets and empty coal bins. Oh, these republicans arc cruel people. AITKU Till'. IIATTLi:. Now that one of the greatest political battles of recent years has been fought and the smoke of a long campaign rolled awav. leavimr in its wnkn tlnfnntl democracy which is simply apalling in us disaster, it is out natural to ask the question, "What was the cause of such an ignominious defeat ? " Even the much ridiculed western leader. William J. Hryan, who was branded an unsafe, visionary candidate tour years ago, won a signal victory in comparison to the strength shown by what was termed the safe and sane clement of the dnmn. cratic party, which this year had con trol ot tlie organization and with a candidate who was tetmed a conserva tive, slrouc man who would bv his hit. sonal standing and past record carry tne party to victory. What has been the result ? The sweenimr rnnnhlinmi triumph of last Tuesday is sufficient explanation, i lie element that swore, as on a stack of bibles, that if it wns given an opportunity to rule the party aim name me presidential candidate to victory. This was the same clement that declated Mr. Hryan in disfavor with eastern democrats. Tho returns from any eastern state fail to corrobor ate this boasted nrediction. On thn contrary, in every state and precinct judge 1'arker ran far behind the No braskan. In many instances he did not receive one-half the votes. It simply means that Mr. Hryan has proven himself the strongest leader in the democratic party, and the assertion that it was through his position on the silver issue the east was lost to him remains untrue. Mr. Parker in his famous telegram to the St. Louis con vention, declaring lus unalterable stand for the gold standard, is sufficient proof of this fact. Hence another cause for tho defeat of democracy must be found. The fact that the people have been and are at present in a state of partial pros perity may account for the defeat of democracy. It is the general concession that the American people are the most patient among the nations of the earth and arc not apt to make sudden changes in governmental affairs, but when they do act, it will be decisive and sweep ing. So it may bo said that tho con tinued triumph of the republican party rests solely by continued - prosperity and with good crops. Aside from these she has no claims. Her foreign policy is and will remain wrong. She is faulty on the tariff issue, and her position favoring trusts will yet be the mill stone that will drawn her down to the bottom of the oolitical oblivion. just as the old whig party disappeared. Then will the cause of Jefferson airain triumph.

Johnson, fusion Tot nl vol of Precincts In the county election there were a number of voters who saw merit in the candidates on the opposite ticket. For instance, it was plain to be seen by the ballots that A. C. Johnson received a number of republican votes, while his opponent, L. F. Smith, who was elect ed, received a sttong fusion support. It was a case of two good men pitted against each other. That Mr. Smith will make a capable member of the board there is no doubt, for he posses es the qualities that make a good official. While Robert Graham is defeated for representative yet he made a splen did race, running ahead of his ticket in every county in the district. Mr. Gra ham is especially pleased with the splendid vote he received in his home comity. Had this not been nresiden. tial year he would have been elected by an overwhelming majority. Roosevelt carries Nebraska by 75,000 and Mickey is elected governor by less than 10,000. Poor Mickey ought to feel too small to occupy the coventor's chair. Adams, democrat, is elected gover nor of Colorado over Peabody by 10,000.
