INDIANAPOLIS , Nov. 7. In response to
an Inquiry by the Asioclated press today for
an rfprcMlon of his vlowa regarding the re
sult of yesterday's election , ex-I'rcsldcnt Harrison
risen said : "It Is the most extraordinary
political revolution the country has ever
witnessed. Wherever there was a frco ballot
thf vote of confidence given In 1892 to the
Uemocratlc party , If one was given , has been
recalled and n vote of utter and final repudia
tion substituted , The Incoherence of the
democratic party was revealed the moment
pow r wan given to It to deal wltR national
affairs. The Insincerity of Its platform
makers was exposed when "Be It enacted"
took the placeof "Bo It resolved. " For
thirty years party expediency has been sub
stituted by the leaders for party principles
and expediency had as many faces as there
were congressional districts. Every eccen
tric cross-current of popular prejudice was
followad as If It were the gulf streams. No
Jiasalon was too wild or violent for a demo
crat mount. Classes were created and In-
llamcd to outbreak and disorder. In one
etato debauched currency and In another a
coclallim which was near to anarchy were
lven a bed.
"Property , especially mills and factories ,
wcrn Invested and assaulted In one section
and In another trusts wore sccretety coddled.
The old democratic doctrine that favored the
levying of customs duties tn the limit of an
adequate revenue was abandoned. A defi
ciency to IMS made good by bond Issue or by
Internal taxes was preferred to the 'Incl-
duiital protection' that adequate customs du-
tl"s would give. The silver question was
dealt with In the most vacillating and Ir
responsible manner.
"Mr. Cleveland described the situation per
fectly when ho said In his letter to Mr. Wll-
non. 'They ( the democrats ) arc downcast
under the assertion that their party falls In
ability to manage the government. ' A vast
majority of our people believe In a protective
tan ft never so many and never so strongly
sis now. They differ as to rates and sched
ules , but not as to the principle. They be
lieve In reciprocity as the first method of
getting foreign markets. They bcllovo In a
I > rrgresslvc and American foreign policy. The
worklngmcn voted their prejudices In 1892 ;
this year they showed their patriotism and
11 > clr love of home.
"Tho enormous falling oft In the demo-
ciallc vote everywhere Is not lees emphatic
In Its meaning than the majorities.
"Tho great victory secured by the reform
ers fit New York City ought to have been
mentioned In the Thanksgiving proclamation
perhaps It would If U had come earlier. It
slvcs the assurance so much needed that
thcro H nn adequate recuperative power In
the most ring-ridden communities ; that popu
lar government Is equal to Its severest test
the control of great cities.
"The lesson ? Trust the people ! The duty ?
Exercise the offices they have confided to us
\vlth the highest fidelity and patriotism.
"About Indiana ? Well , language falls roe.
I am proud of her. "

CHICAGO , Nov. 7. Congressman Wil
liam Springer wires the Associated press
as follows :
Sl'RINGFIELD , 111. , Nov. 7. Your re-
qucxt for my opinion on the result of the
election In Illinois and the country Is re
ceived. Thcro were many causes which
contributed to the defeat of the democratic
Iiarty. The dissatisfaction among demo
crats caused by the delay In passing a tariff
1)111 and the alleged Imperfections In that
iiH'nsuro had In a measure closed when the
election occurred. Intelligent members of
the party were satisfied that every possible
effort would bo put forth to secure prompt
action. The hard times of a year ago ,
-which had been attributed by republicans to
threatening tariff legislation , caused n feel
ing of doubt In the minds ot many as to the
wisdom of the democratic tariff policy. The
unemployed sought a change without stop
ping to Inquire whether such a change would
really benefit them or not. The manufac
turers of the country , who have been re
ceiving large benefits from a protective
tariff , were not disposed to give up any of
the privileges which they had enjoyed here
to fore. They naturally resented any ef
fort to curtail their rights to tax the toll
ing millions for their own benefit. The
business Interests of the country were ap-
licaled to by republican partisans to make
large contributions to their campaign funds.
There were many evidences In this part of
Illinois to prove that such appeals were
not made In vain. The republican managers
In this congressional district were supplied
more liberally with campaign funds than ever
before known tn this state. Never before
wore republican politicians so active and per
sistent In party affairs a during the cam
paign In this district. The managers of the
democratic party wore active and aggressive ,
and they never made n more gallant fight :
The stay-al-homo vote among the democratts
wiu very large , BO largo In some localities as
to raise the suspicion the voters had been
paid to remain away from the polls. The
tidal wave of democratic prosperity , which
sot In Immediately after the passage of the
democratic tariff bill , was attributed by re
publicans to prospective republican success.
They not only charged the democratic party
with responsibility for the republican hard
times , but they appropriated to themselves
the great prosperity which followed the pas-
eago of the measure. But notwithstanding-
the overwhelming defeat of the democratic
party the prosperity which came from the
adoption of Its policy of tariff reform will
continue right along and Increase In extent
from week to week and month to month un
til all men will find employment nt good
wages , and all the business Interests ot the
country arc In a healthy condition and placed
upon a permanent and enduring foundation.
Before the next presidential election occurs
the bad condition brought about by demo
cratic legislation will so satisfactory that the
country will reverse- the verdict of last Tues
day and elect a democratic president and con
gress. Democrats should not feel dltcour-
aged by this defeat. The tariff law cannot
1)0 repealed during this administration , and
tlmo will vindicate Its wisdom and the coun
try will never consent to Ha abrogation or
modification , except in the direction of
greater reforms.WILLIAM

Domocnitlo Journals Keek tn Tarry the
KrTxct of Tliolr Defeat ,
NEW YORK. Nov. 7. Of the result of
tho. voting yesterday the Evening Post saye :
That the republicans would carry the north
ern election this year was generally ex
pected , but the extent of the victory wad not
anticipated. The- financial panic of last year ,
although a prime factor In the case. Is not
sufllclent alone to account for It. Business
depression , whatever may bo Its cauie , al
ways lays against the parly In power. Hut
tn the. present case a deeper gloom was
added to tha scandals connected with tariff
legislation In congress. "
In another place the Post says ; "The
overwhelming defeat ot Hill s the political
death and burial of the worst man Hi Ameri
can politics. His ghont will lilt In and cut
ot the senata for the next two years , out his
power for mischief Is ended. For the first
tlmo In his career ho stood yesterday solely
upon bis character and record and secured a
YorJIct from the people which was not com
plicated with any other Issue. "
The Evening World says : "The demo
cratic parly In the nation today suffered a
somewhat unjust , but Inevitable punishment
for Its failure ( o carry out the mandate of
the people. H was put In power two years
ago to reform the tariff. It talked and
squabbled and wrangled about It. It par
alyzed business and disturbed Industry. U
made everybody uncomfortable and itself
unpopular , and then It surrendered lu prin
ciples at thi demand of a gam of bribed
blackmailers In th * srnala , and accepted n
compromise which the grtal man of tha people
pie considered perfldlou * aud dishonorable.
For Us mlidceds and mlitorlunei the people
barT wreaked vengeance upon It , "
The Commorc al Advertiser sayi : "Tha
battle Is over. The enemy U routed. Re
publicanism has triumphed. "
PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 7. The Bulletin
thin afternoon says : It Is not often a politi
cal revolution has been presaged to long In
advance and so conspicuously by the unmis
takable signs which have bean apparent this
> ear and to which even ( he dullest eye could
not bo blind. The condemnation ot the dem
ocratic party Is no sudden act of caprice ;
It Is I the deliberate and dispassionate judg
ment of the American people.

I3LOOMINGTON. Nov. 7.-Hon. Adlal E.
SIcvcnsgn spent the entire day In seclusion
In the homo of his brother , John , meditating
upon the political events ot yesterday and
preparing to attend the wedding ot a nephew
which takes place tonight. It was a dreary
day , with leaden skies and a cold drlzzlo
dimming the window panes. Mr. Steven
son , when asked to state his opinion as to
the causes leading up to the democratic
defeat of yesterday , said : "My opinion can
bo briefly stated. The result Is due In part
to the financial depression which came upon
the country soon after the Inauguration of Mr.
Cleveland. AVhllo the democrats were In no
way responsible for this , they were made the
scapegoats. It was also In part duo to
the delay ot congress In passing the tariff
bill. Had tlio bill become a law ninety dnys
earlier than It did , It Is probable that the
business conditions of the country would
hnvo so adjusted themselves that the politi
cal result would have been different. "
Mr. Stevenson will depart from Dloomlng-
ton this week for Ashevlllc , N. C. , where
ho will join his family , who are sojourning
there. He will remain In the south three
weeks , going thence to Washington.
Cleveland Didn't 8lio\r Up.
WASHINGTON , Nor. 7. The cabinet offi
cers were late In reporting to their desks
today. The president did not come Into the
city at all , but remained at Woodley , presum
ably at work on his annual message to con
gress.
Aa a general rule nobody occupying n
prominent place In the administration cared
to talk for publication today respecting the
election. The single exception was As
sistant Secretary Doe of the War depart
ment , who had been fully confident that his
party would hold Its own , at least In his
native state , Wisconsin. He said : "The
election In some respects reminds one very
much of that ot 1874. This election will
also bo claimed by the late calamity howlers
to bo a decisive verdict against the tariff re
form , but In fact It * Is nothing of the kind.
That Is one Issue which never will be set
tled until a tariff for revenue has been
given a fair trial. "
Senator Call of Florida , when asked about
the result of yesterday's election , said :
"Gone up ; gone up when a party has been
advocating a certain policy during all Its
experience , and when It goes Into power
fulls to carry out that policy , It Is sure to
suffer defeat. "

COLUMBUS , O. , Nov. 7. Governor Me- .
Kinlcy was In his office early , considering the
fact that he was out most of last night re
ceiving election returns. Doing asked what
ho thought about the situation he preferred
not to talk. Ho would only say : "The
sweeping republican victories Indicated at
this hour are Impressive. They need no
Interpretation. They express better than
words the revised and deliberate judgment
of the people upon the public questions In
volved in the political contest now closed. "

ICvcrytliltiR Wont Koputillcnn Even In tlio
Democratic Stronghold * .
ST. PAUL , Nov. 7. The returns from all
but nine precincts In the city ot St. Paul give
Nelson , republican , 5,116 plurality , the vote
standing : Nelson , 11,530 ; Becker , 5,483 ; Owen ,
6,414. This tremendous republican vote In
the banner democratic county of the state Is
simply a sample of the "way things went yes
terday. Early In the night It became a ques
tion of plurality and by today the figure had
reached 40,000 republican plurality and the
end did not yet seem to have come.
But meager returns have- been received
from congressional districts , but all the re
publican candidates seem to have won by
pluralities ranging In the thousands. Colonel
A. H. Klefcr of the St. Paul district has
G.OOO plurality ; Congressman Tawney ot the
First district la ro-elected by an equal figure
and the vote for C. A. Towne In the Duluth
district has thus far been placed higher , but
may be reduced. The Seventh district is the
populist stronghold , but seems to have gone
the way ot the rest of the world , although
the election ot F. M. Eddy , republican , Is not
yet conceded. Nor do the democrats yet ac
knowledge the defeat of Congressman Hall
In the Third , although the republicans claim
the election of Heatwole In that district by
over 1,000 plurality. The re-election of Con
gressman McCleary In the Second and Fletcher
In the Fifth Is conceded by large figures.
How large the republican majority will be.
In the legislature does not yet appear , but
It Is very great. The democrats seem to have
deserted their candidates largely for the
other parties , many of them seeming to vote
for Nelson , republican , to prevent the elec
tion of Owen , populist.
MINNEAPOLIS , Nor. 7 , The republicans
swept Hennepln county , giving Nelson for
governor 6,000 plurality , electing Loren
Fletcher to congress by 7,000. electing Uobert
Pratt mayor of Minneapolis by 3,000 and
winning on the county and city tickets.
Minnesota elects six republican congressmen ,
with the result In the Third still doubtful.
The legislature will be heavily republican ,
sending u republican senator to succeed
Washburn.
Hcatwolo Is elected to congress from the
Third Minnesota district. This makes Min
nesota's delegation solid republican.
ST. PAUL , Nov. 7. At first there was a
doubt ot the re-election ot Judge Collins as
Judge of the supreme bench , Judge John
Willis , democratic-populist , having made an
active canvass for the place , but returns re
ceived th I a afternoon caused the Dis
patch to claim Judge Collins' election by
10,000 plurality. The republican state com
mittee claims at least 30,000 plurality for
Governor Nelson. Close estimates on the
legislature give the republicans thirty-two
majority on joint ballot. Frank M. Eddy ,
republican , for congress , la running ahead of
his ticket In the Seventh district , his vote
being much heavier than two years ago ,
when Boon , popuflst , defeated Ferg , repub
lican , by eighty-six votes. Joel P. Heatwole ,
republican , claims 2,500 plurality over Con
gressman Hall In the Third district.
WEST VIRGINIA.
Wlliou'a Defeat Acknowledged by the
Democrat * TlioiiiMlvrft.
CHAItLESTON , W. Va. , Nov. 7. Last
nlsht the democrats conceded the First and
Fourth districts to the republican candi
dates , Dovencr and Howard. Today's ad
vices from Logan county , the democratic
stronghold , showed such a falling off In the
democratic vote that Alderson. democratic
candidate for congress , barely carried the
county. The democratic managers then con
ceded the election of Hullng , republican. In
the Third district by a decisive plurality.
Although doubt has been expressed as to the
result In the Second district , yet tbo defeat
of Wilson was not conceded by the demo
cratic managers until today noon. When It
was learned that Marlon county , a demo
cratic stronghold , hail been carried by Dayton -
ton by 400 over Wilson , the latter's defeat
was conceded but no figures were given. The
republicans today claim that Dayton's plural
ity over Wilson will bo not less than 1,600
and It the basis of gains since morning Is
maintained Dayton's plurality will i > o con
siderably over 2,000. The returns from the
counties In Wilson's district show that the
republicans did not cast much more than
thilr usual vote , but that the democratic
veto falls far short on account ot those not
voting.

While the democratic state committee con
cedes the elections of republicans In all four

growing surprise Is on the loss of the legis

Stephen R. Elklns to succeed J. N. Camdcn

ceded. Blklns managed the campaign against

ties yet to count otnclally , most ot which will

CHICAGO , Nov. 7. The returns today
hewed continued gains for the republican
Icket. Every man on the republican con
gressional and county ticket Is elected by
iluralltles ranging from 14,000 to 25,000 , and
ha state legislature will be republican by a
generous lead , perhaps twenty , Insuring a
epubllcan successor to United States Sena-
or Cullom. The surprising republican gains
ndlcated that each of the seven congressional
llstricts In the city are republican , with the
osslble exception of Congressman McGinn's
. ( strict , though some democratic leaders con
ed D his defeat today. Ex-Congressman
'rank ' Lawler , Independent , In the Fourth
district was badly beaten , and Congressman
Goldsicr , although leading his ticket In the
Sixth , has apparently lost.
Chairman Tanner , at 12:30 : p. m. today , saya
ho republicans have a pluralty in Illinois ot
over 125,000 , a gain over 1892 of more than
50,000 ; have elected nineteen congressmen
out of twenty-two , with two of the remain-
n three still in doubt. These are In the

With s'x precincts to hear from Congresa-
nan McGonn was 900 votes bahlnd Belknap ,

cial count will be necessary to decide the re
sult. The heaviest vote polled on a populist
congressional candidate In the city was that
ot White , In the Second district , who re
ceived close to 7,000 votes. Lloyd , populist ,

votes than the democratic candidate.
The attempt by a gang of toughs to steal
