THKYQUIT I'LAYIXU I'OPOC/MTS ? There Is no room in tlio world for such a p.uty as the silver republican party. The member * of this organization left the repub lican party bMU o of opprnttlon to Its llrltlsh financial policy. The only homo for silver republicans Is within the democratic ranks , where they can do the most Rood In fighting against the * yrup < ithlzcrs and nb- hcttvra of the HothsclilMs. And they nre coming home , Nine out of ten silver repub licans In Sarpy county have openly allied thcniRclvcs with the democratic party , and the other 1 per cent will bo with us before another year shall close. Wo welcome them , not as allies , but as .lull brothers In the holy cause. Papllllon Times , Why should the silver republicans al low themselves to be swallowed by the democratic rwhalo so long as they can get more blubber outaldo than Inside ? As brothers In the "holy" cause of re form spoils-grabbing the sliver repub licans have everything to gain nnd nothing to lose by keeping up their third party masquerade. AS full-blown democrats they would pass out of sight llko pebbles that drop Into the sea. As silver republicans they can spoilt and shout and march and countermarch like the supe soldiers on the stage. Like the valiant troop of Imllltla organized by Ai-ti-mus Ward , In which every man wa > a brigadier general , every silver repub lican can be a big Indian chief. lie can organize himself into a convention and elect himself chairman , delegate-at-large and member of the state committee , all lu one. He can pass fiery resolutions denouncing everything and everybody nnd lauding his own achievements nnd self-sacrificing devotion to principles for whlrh liu Is ready to fight , bleed and die. What Is more substantial and sat isfactory to the brothers allied In the holy cause Is the assurance that a hand ful of silver republican shontcrs can nominate the candidates for 100,000 pop ulists aud democrats and apportion one- third of the olllcea to themselves. With all due allowance for disinter ested devotion to the holy cause that distributes pie to thri faithful It is alto gether too much to ask the li > 00 silver republicans of Nebraska to forego their prerogative by disbanding their sllver- galvanlx.ed tin horn organization and enlisting - listing as high privates In the roar ranks of the democracy , llofore the silver re publicans quit playing popocrats they will want to know tha reason why. oinn sB It appears to bo settled that the re publicans will have a narrow majority In the Ohio legislature on joint ballot , so that the election of a republican to the United States senate is assured. Whether the choice will fall to Mr. M. A. llMiina , who received the nomination from the state convention , seems to be in doubt. There Is talk of combinations against him and of carrying the fac tional opposition which he encountered at the polls Into the legislature. The leading republican papers of the state , however , discredit such reports. The Cleveland Leader takes thu position that the republican members of the legisla ture are bound to conform to the action of the state convention. ItelVrring to the nomination of Foraker two years ago that paper says the present case Is exactly similar. "The .supremo author ity In the party , " says the Leader , "an authority which can't ; be Ignored , ques tioned or disobeyed , had given to the republican members of the legislature their orders. Those orders were carried out. Precisely the same condition exists today. By a unanimous vote the re publican state convention nominated Mr. Hanna for senator. Mr. llanna carried the general assembly. lie stands ex actly where Senator Foraker stood two years ago. lie Is the only republican candidate and can bo the only candidate for senator. The republican members of the next general assembly have no party authority to do anything but to elect Mr. Hanna. " This view of the matter certainly seems to be unassail able from the standpoint of party obe dience and loyalty , The republican factional contest in Ohio Is unfortunate and there will per haps never bo a better opportunity to terminate it than will bo afforded In the next election of a United States senator. The choice of Mr. Hanna without any contest would probably have this re sult. To this end Senator Foraker could exert his influence with advantage to himself and the party. Iflie were to pronounce squarely for Mr. Ilauna , as a matter of high political duty , It would elevate him In the regard of republicans everywhere and it would Increase his strength as a leader of his parly In his own state , while the harmonizing effect could not fall to bo most advantageous to the party. It is undoubtedly the hope of republicans generally that Mr. Hanna. will bo continued In the senate. Ho merits an election and It will be a reproach to the Ohio repub licans If he does not get It. ] > usn TIIK K The TransmlsslsHlppI Kxposltlon Is ad vertised to oiien Us gates on tins first day of June , 1S ! 8. Iu order lliat the openIng - Ing of the gates may find the exposition ready for business the principal build ings should bo completed by April 1. It will take fully two months for the Installation of exhibits In their proper places aud the adjustment of mechanical appliances required for power and Illu mination. It goes without saying that the rigor of the ordinary winter will Interfere with outdoor work , ( 'specially with the covering of the buildings with staff. Manifestly It Is essential for the prompt opening of the exposition that the contracts for all buildings not al ready under way bo awarded without further delay and the construction of buildings now under contract bo pushed with vigor. The first structure contracted for , the Administration Arch , Is , under the con ditions of the contract , to bo completed on November 12. This condition will doubtless bo fulfilled. The Manufac tures building was to have been com. pleted November 1 , but the contractor for the carpenter work , who was to liavo turned It over to the staff men on October It ) , has not yet done his part of the work. The contractors for the Mines and Mining building are required by the terms of their contract to liavo the building ready for the staff workers on Wednesday next , but It Is doubtful whether they will bo ublo to do so. The same contractors were to complete the Agrlculturo building by November 25 , but It Is problematic whether their ngren- incut will bo carried out. While there are penalties provided to Indemnify the exposition for loss by failure to complete the work In time , It Is not Indemnity that the exposition wants , but the buildings. The enforce ment of contracts to HIP loiter as re gards time , ns well as material and workmanship. Is a matter of absolute necessity. The season so far has boon most favorable to the construction work and contractors have no excuse for de lay on the score of bad weather. Neither do the controversies with workIngmen - Ingmon furnish any valid excuse , be cause every contractor has assumed the responsibility of finding a sulllclent num ber of worklugmon and keeping on good terms with them until his obligations have been fulfilled. If the exposition makes concessions to nny ono set of contractors , either In changing plans , substituting Info/lor ma terial or extending time , nil contractors will ask the same privileges aud .Tune 1 will come with bulhllug.s uncompleted and exhibits shut out for lack ot accom modations. The assumption that the national ad ministration Is In some degree responsi ble for the decrease In the republican vote In the Into elections and that repub lican policy was discredited by the re sults will not stand the test of Intelli gent and fair-minded discussion. President McKlnley aud the repub licans In congress have kept faith with the people according to the pledges given In the platform upon which they were elected a year ago. One of these pledges was to give the country a tariff law that would revive the Industries of the country and supply the government with adequate revenue. The former of these conditions has been realized. Un der the operation of the new tariff there has been a very marked Industrial re vival , giving employment to hundreds of thousands of people who were Idle a year ago. The revenues have , It Is true , not yet been brought up to expen ditures , the reason for which every well informed person knows to be the heavy importations preceding the enact ment of the law , but there Is a steady gain In the receipts which gives promise that they will at least equal expendi tures before the close of the current tlscal year. The republican party was pledged to promote International bimetallism and it has fulfilled this promise faithfully. President McKlnley announced In his inaugural address that he thought some revision of the currency desirable aud ho sent a message to congress recom mending the creation of a currency commission. The republican party had given 110 pledge to revise tlio currency , but the house of representatives ap proved the executive recommendation. In the meantime the secretary of the treas ury has been giving earnest attention to the question of currency revision and has formulated a plan that will bo sub mitted for the consideration of con- gross. President MeKInlcy was known , when elected , to be an earnest friend of civil service reform. He has shown that he is In extending and strengthening that re form. In the management of our for eign relations the administration him been conservative without any sacrifice of American' rights ; or interests. Who , then , are the people dissatisfied with "McKinleyism and Dlngleylsm ? " Are they the manufacturers who have been enabled to start HP their mills and factories ? Are they the Idle wage earn ers of a year ago who have found steady and remunerative work ? Are they the agricultural producers for whose prod ucts the homo iremand has been materially - terially increased ? Are they even the currency reformers , whose importunate demand for a revision of the currency the president did his best to comply with ? Certainly none of these has any good reason to bo dissatisfied with the administration or with republican pol icy. There Ls some defection , undoubt edly , of spoils seekers , but ilijs Is not of very great Importance. The truth is that the results of the late elections were In no sense an ex pression of dissatisfaction with the ad ministration or with the national policy of the republican party. To assume otherwise is to impugn the common sense of American voters to say that what : majority of them voted for and expected a year ago they are now pre pared to reject , notwithstanding the fact that the improved conditions which were promised have for the most part been attained and there Is favorable prospect of their complete realization. Immigration statistics show that the number of Immigrants coming to ( he United States continues to show n marked falling off as compared with a year ago. While It Is not vasy to ex plain the change , It Is due partially at least to the fact that while wo are doIng - Ing much with our immigration restric tion agitation to discourage immigra tion , Knropeaii ountrle.s are doing their best to divert the movement of popula tion to their own colonies. With our vast undeveloped resources waiting for people to develop them there ought to bo no dllliculty to attract the better class of Immigrants to this country If we were but a little moro liberal In our attitude to the incomers and exerted some systematic activity to Invite in tending Kuropi'an emigrants to turn this way. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The possibilities ot machine rule through the leverage of the patronage of Greater New York can bo appreciated only by pondering over the figures given out on the number of appointive ofliccx under the now municipal government. It Is slated that there will be II.'I.OOO names on the Greater New York pay roll , while. 122,000 moro will bo employed indirectly - directly through various city contractors. These 5. > ,000 employes might bo forged Into a political machine whose power would be practically Irresistible. If each of them could bo depended on to control four votes besides their own they would represent nn absolute majority of tlio votes cast in the area of Greater Now York aud could carry elections one way or another at the beck of a leader. Even rl l y tliciiisGlrav3ttthnttt counting on any other voles iHllunnccd l y them , the nnny of municipal * employes could trnnsfer enough votes Wmn one side to the other In nny contfjstw election to determine ' the result. TJhu'only protection the people ple of the ni6tVopolls can have lies In the unwleldliu'l of such nn organlza- lion and the , certainty that It could not hold togctherttmtler a severe strain. _ tf. y The Oniahii .ttikery and Its Lincoln annex clnhn to hitve made the startling discovery thll'f. the Lincoln correspond- out In the Chicago-Tribune is none other than K. Koscwnter nnd that they feel sure that ho wrote the letter In which the Thurston succession to the United States senate wns foretold last nummer with prophetic precision. It will bo re membered , that according to the Trib une's correspondent Thurston's successor ser was to bo either iTohn L. Webster , , T. II. MncColl or R. Hoscwntcr. Such n forecast bears the unmistakable earmarks - marks of the last named candidate , who bus n eonlldcntlal agreement with Mac- Cell to get out of bis road and knows that Webster Is to be governor-general of Hawaii as soon as the annexation treaty Is ratllled. There Is nothing like tin X-niy mind reader at the head of a Knkery. One of the loading applicants for ap pointment to the vacancy on the district bench to be created by the promotion of Judge Sullivan to the supreme court Is a man who rests his claims on the fact that he was once'an appointee of ( .1 rover Cleveland's and" ran for congivss In 1SO-I In opposition to Devlne , the populist candidate , and resisted all appeals to get off the track to make way for his popu list competitor. Hut this , of course , will not stand In his way to favor with the fusion state house machine , whose only test of f-i-alty Is present loyalty to the spoils program. PoK | > cratlc efforts will now be renewed to stir up anew the former factional dif ferences between funding Ohio repub licans. This may be good popocratle politics , but they may find 11' dltliciilt to persuade republicans to play Into their hands when the game is so apparent. niiMi to 'Win. Chicago Tlmcu-llcrnlil.

The Union Pacific sale , when the transac tion Is completed , will net the government about $20,090,000. The original subsidy was extended , not in cash but In bonds. These- the government now has to pay off. The Interest has been paid out In cash and this Is now returned to the treasury. It will amount to about half the deficit of the cur rent year and comes Into play at a time when 'tho treasury nceda all It can get. The Union Pacific subsidy was roundly con demned once as extravagant. It would have been Justified byi national advantages gained If nothing had been repaid. As It Is , the government has got back principal and Inter est at G per cent. ' How many other private Investments of thirty yearn ago liavo done better ?

AFTKUMATII OP TIII3 UUBOTIO.V , Kalis City Journal ( rep ) ! The republican party may bo beaten temporarily , but AS heretofore she stands squarely on hr prin ciples , asks help of no mnn and Is fighting now as fearlessly for the principles ot honest money ami honest government as eho was In the beginning. Fremont Tribune ( rep. ) ! The fuslonlsta have carried Nebraska .by n majority ap proximating 10,000 , which is a foiling oft of about 12,000 from that received toy Gov ernor Holcomb a year ago , and Is A reduction of more than 10,000 of the early estimates of the popocratle campaign managers. At this rate victory Is In sight next year anil there Is no reason for republicans' to bo dln- couraged. They have made a great fight , all things considered , Wayne Herald ( rep. ) : Every time Hartley's name was thrown up to us during the cam paign wo became afflicted with & chill , and It occurred several times during the last week of the campaign , Wo had no excuse. The republican party In Nebraska must 'begin ' anew by putting new men at "tho helm , and next year nominate candidates who can go before the people free of taint ; honorable aud honest , and men whose qualifications and fitness for the positions ot governor , treas urer and all other state olllccs , cannot bo questioned. York Times ( rep. ) : It Is a pity and a misfortune to the state to retire- Jurist like Judge Post from a position so responsible and Important , and one that ho haa filled with such credit to himself and the state. It will be very many years before his place will bo entirely filled. It Is fortunate , how- ovcrj that In removing him for another the man who takes his place Is not a cheap demagogue- whoso only claim to distinction is based upon incendiary and unpatriotic pro fessions ot animosity against any ot the great and Important Interests of the com monwealth , Judge Sullivan did , unfortu nately , stoop to one or two expressions bet tor adapted to the demagogue than the Jurist , but they were madl > under extraordinary pressure and no one who knows him aud his record believes for a minute that he meant It , or will be- swerved from hlu usual course by them. Grand Island Independent ( rep. ) : There Is not much news a'bout ' the election , only n confirmation 'that ' 'Sullivan Is elected su preme Judge by about 10,000 majority. The vote of the state Is about 1C per cent smaller than last year , which Is not surpris ing as the comparison Is between an oft year and n year of a presidential election. The assertion that the 'republicans ' have galrrd about 11,000 In reducing the majority of the fusion Is of a rather doubtful char acter , as there was no real contest about republican and anti-republican principles , but only n trial and a decision about 'he qualifications of two -men for a Judicial po sition , which place has no Influence on. . the essential principles of 'the ' parties and sliould not be Influenced by them. There was really not much difference between the two men as both are good lawyers and both were reported to > be under the control of the corporations. 'Mr. Post's reputation. In this respect 'was more widely known nnij 'that 'prdbably ' explains his defeat. Neither the one nor the other party can make much capital out ot the election of Judge Sullivan. South Omaha Sun ( rep. ) : There Is no doubt but that Judge Sullivan , the popociatlc Judgo. has been elected to the supreme bench of Nebraska by at loist 10,000 majority. An unusual effort was put forth by the fusion element to secure the Judgeshlp , every speaker of national and local reputa tion being put at work on the stump to carry the ticket and save the state for Uryanlsm. Notwithstanding the desperate effort , the majority of a year ago was re duced pnc-half. The republicans had to con test with the fact that embezzling and rec reant state officials had looted the treasury , and this the fuslontsts took great advantage ot In the campaign. Besides this there arc irjiny who evidently believe that the supreme premo court should be a nonpolltlcal body and cast their vote accordingly. While JtrJge Sullivan Is a campaigner of unusual energy the reverse Is true of Post , who , while a courteous , capible and dignified Judge , lacked , the rustling qualities of his suc cessor. All things considered , the repub licans put up a much better fight this year on their state ticket than a year ago , and Congressman Mercer Is to be congratulated over the result , although the enemy was victorious. Wahoo Wisp ( rep. ) : The fuslonists have carried the state , but by a much smaller ma. Jority than was given either to Governor Ho'.comb ' or Mr. Bryan last year. The only question In this campaign that was effective In.making votes tor the fuslonists was Dart- ley , Moore and the supreme court. Had It not ibcen for the rascality of Hartley end Mocre the republicans would have- had an easy victory. In allowing the matter to be hung up for so long a time , by the. supreme court was one of the leading factors In bring ing defeat to Judge Poet. It would have made no difference whether a valid reason was given or not , the populist orators on all occasions have harped on these things and there Is no question but It was this condi tion of Effairs that caused the- defeat of the republican state ticket and the county ticket In this county. To illustrate this mat ter we will c''ite a conversation had with an old gentleman the day after election. Ho said ho went to the foils to cast his ballot. Ho looked the ticket over , but he could not satisfy himself as to what to do and finally left the voting place without voting. He paid he could not approve of the thieving of Hartley and Moore , neither could he vote the populist ticket , as ho considered tint party was doing much to hurt the prosperity of the state of Nebraska , hencehe did not vote. THIS NASIIVII.I.i : KXI'OSITIOV. linn I'MlK-il tin * Oily wlllieir lfe ! nnd lli-iifllti-il III.South. . Nnehvllle American. The Centennial exposition Is a thing cf the past , a delightful 'memory ' , and a glorious rp-tnnpoct ; yet In some sense It still lives. Tlio spirit that It infused Into the people of Nashville survives anl will lead thorn to greater achievements In the future. The expedition served not only to Introduce Naahvlllo to the outside world , but made it better known to itself. The people of Nash ville were not beloro conscious of their power and the real Importance of their city. The exposition period has been a renals- sanco perlcd , a revival of energy and prog ress. Nashville was always a solid city In.a business acnie , pursuing quietly thu even tenor cf Ha way ; tout now It Is as a strong man aroused. It has discovered Its latent force ; It has come in pro Into touch wit ! ) the great world beyond Its limits ; It 'has ' cist off provincialism ; It Is Imbued with a spirit cosmopolitan and progressive1 ; It Is pleased with the admiration It has won ; It U aglow with a now 'hope ' , and' Its wtlrrlnu ambition points to a future rich In potentialities. Hut the exposition Itself It can never fade from the -memory of those who ( have thronged Its delightful walks during the six summer months that are past. It was a dream of loveliness , yet n delectable reality. It hail the beauty and splendor of fairy land , 'but the enchantment was not Illusion. Beneath Its inyrlad cf mellow lights , wher , music vibrated In the soft night air. wo cculd dream of poetry and the iiast. Within its many buildings by day the wideawake and progressive present stirredus to energy and spoke of the Immense possibilities of the future It presaged. The pediments of the Parthenon carried us Uick to thu beautiful mythology of the an cients , when the driads were In every grove , the naluda In every stream ; when Iris was the beauty of the rainbow and the trident bearing Neptune was Kitting upon the waves of the eon. The display of exhibits spoke of the quickening energy of today , the marvel ous progress of the nineteenth century , when the wonders of scienqo liavo revealed the secrets of nature , annihilated distance end chained the very thunderbolts of Jupiter for the use of man , The Centennial has gone , but more than Its memory lives. Its spirit has filled Nash ville with a now life. It has been a great educator of the people , not of this city alone , but to those of the state , and , In some respects , of the entire south. It has served both to quicken the Industrial spirit nnd to sharpen the artistic Bcneo.

This spirit that the exposition has Infused must be kept alive.

The crest waveof such a tide now comes to Nashville ; let us ride upon It to success. COLD COMFOllT FOft imYATf. Olobu Democrats Mr. Bryan's route ot itrfttel In Ohio Is marked by republican Rains. The majority lu Cleveland Is about the ame as McKtnlcy's , Minneapolis Journal : Down In Iowa whore nryan spoke his little silver plcco scores of times the republican candidate for governor got the largest vote over cast tor a republican nubcrnntorlal candidate. There wasn't any apathy In Iowa. Iowa emphatically con demns the revolutionary and repudiating Chicago platform and IJryan. Chicago Tribune : As was tohave been ox- peeled the places In Ohio wherellryan labored show republican gains almost - without out exception. If the democrats were wise they would try to keep llryan hid from view , for In splto of his ready wit and glib tongue a sight of him Is morally certain to awaken distrust and make republican In stead of democratic votes. There Is some thing In the man's face -that gives the Im- prceslon of a kind of sneering Insincerity. If ever a politician looked the demagogue he does. Chicago Inter Ocean : William J. llryan telegraphs Senator Jones of Arkansas that the election returns "vindicate the Chicago platform , " In Greater New York the demo cratic candidate who utterly Ignored the Chicago platform got over 235,000 votes and won the day ; and the democratic candidate who thoroughly endorsed the Chicago plat form received but about 15,000 voles , or only 3 per cent ot the entire vote cast. It Mr. Uryan considers these results a vindication ot the Chicago platform ho must bn even moro nighty than has generally been Imagined , Detroit Journal : The fatuous blindness ot one W. J. Bryan is something transcending what has ever been noticed In the leader of a one-Idea movement.He sees In the results of yesterday's elections great encourage ment for the frco silver cifuse. A more Ignorautly obstinate Interpretation of the election returns could not be conceived even by the famous Jlmralo Duck or the Ilcn. Tony Wcllcr. Now York iCIty Is normally democratic. The opposition was split Into three 'parties. nd Tammany , -with Its splen did organization , hope ot spoils , and fifty years of power , had nn easy victory. The hand ot death took away the only leader who made fierce attacks on Croker , and who seemed able to dram- Tammany votes. The triumphant party In the metropolis studi ously aud almost Insultingly Ignored Mr. Uryan'a hobby. The party that did Indorse It put up a man for mayor who acknowl edged , with truthfulness that always char acterized the great 'Henry ' George , that he took no stock In the free silver theory. 1'ASSING OF OIIMA\ . Minneapolis Journal : Arthur Pue Gorman lj now so dead , politically that the people of Maryland feel Justified In placing emphasis on his middle name. Indianapolis Journal : The defeat of Boss Gorman In Maryland Is one of the best fea tures of the late elections. With a repub lican governor , legislature nnd United States senator , and carried two years In succession , Maryland may fairly bo classed as a repub lican state. Chicago Posf No one familiar with the selfish and vicious Influence of Arthur Pue Gorman In state and national politics will send one regret after iilm to the retirement to which ho has been doomed. The pity of It Is that he will cumber the senate with his presence for moro than a year to come. Minneapolis Tribune : It the republicans have a majority on joint ballot In the Mary land legislature they will bo able to snuff out Gorman , ono of the most astute nnd re sourceful of American politicians. He and his friend Raisin have played the role of dictators In Maryland for some time and tdey have coratructed a machine very much like that ot Tammany. In 1SB5 the machine was disabled , but the bosses repaired It and worked It In the recent campaign , but the Maryland people seem , to have smashed It pretty badly this time. Sioux City Tribune : Few tears will be shed on the part ot western democrats over thu defeat of Senator Gorman ot Maryland. Ho had been so long In olllce , and by his ef forts to maintain himself he 'had ' become so familiar with the vices surrounding public men , that ho had ceased for years to repre sent the democracy. Ho was against Its plat forms and against Its leaders , but ha lacked the courage to make his fight against thorn within party lines , and depended upon his cunning and his personal following to trade himself Into ofilco by associating with repub licans. When too finally , upon the assump tion that Grover Cleveland was already broken down and a declining power In poli tics , aswlled him publicly In the senate , ho overstepped the limit , and ho will receive his reward at the meeting of the next -Maryland legislature. 1'OhlTIOAIj S.VAl' SHOTS. Globo-Democrat : Air. McLean , temporarily of Ohio , will shortly return to his homo In Washington , D. C. , to look after his gas works and syndicate operations. It is his Impression that the November metcoiu were ahead of time In the Buckeye state. Cedar Rapids Republican : Iowa will In crease her credit by the result of this clec- tloa. It Is proof that her reople stand "pat" and aronot driven from side to side by every wind of doctrine. Iowa Is a good place to be born In and a good place to live In after birth. St. Louis Republic : Colonel Wattcrson promises that If he Is permitted to take his pace ! far back In the rear rank ho will say nothing , even I ! ho doesn't approve every thing that Is done. That penance Is more than enough. The party would not care 1o Impose what to the colonel would be a cruel and unusual punishment. Ottumwa Courier : The Iowa legislature , which meets in Des Molncs In January , dora not elect a United States senator , as some people have ecmo to understand. The only way the Honatorahlp was Involved In the election last Tuesday was because of the fact that stite senators elected this year hold office lor four years , and hence will vote for United Statca senator two years from now. Indianapolis Journal : The total vote of tiow , Tracy und George was 2CSL'SS , while tlMt of Tamtr.any's candidate was 228,4115 , This meios that If these who voted against the tlKor and voted for one ticket Tammany would have been beaten. The total vote In 70,000 less than the registration , which In dicates that many who would have voted for anti-Tammany did not because they thought It to bo of no use. Buffalo Express : One of the results of the election Is the probable disappearance .of George Fred Williams of Massachusetts from the number of active loaders of Ilryan- IGIU. A candidate who , after a hard stumpIng - Ing campaign , Is snowed under by the op position by a plurality well on to 100,000 , and with hardly a pretense at effort. Is not likely to command much further Influence In his own state. Davenport Republican : The fuslonists In Iowa suffered a loss of cnly about 10 per cent of the vote Tor Bryan , The republican eatr.palgn managers of the state argue from this that a good many gold democrats fol lowed the advlco of their -chairman and voted with the regular democratic party. But In spite of this , and the great advantage - tago for the trlplo alliance , tlio rcptibllcatm rolled up about as big a plurality as they did In the state election two yrars ago , Chicago Tribune : Ono of the encouraging slgiiB of the times' IB tin- evidence of returnIng - Ing reason among the silver republicans of Kansas. In the face of a majority of 10,000 for Bryan In 1S9G the republicans madn large gains on Tuesday lest. They claim the elec tion of ten out of thirteen Judges , and1 make a clean sweep ID the election of county offi cers In half the counties ot the Btato , with an equal division In about half the remainder. This Is regarded aa Indicating a republican victory on the state ticket next fall. A aim. liar revolution I ? Indicated In South Dakota , whore , on a somewhat diminished vote , the republicans carried five out of eight Judicial districts , leaving two to the poulUts and ono to the democratic fustonlsts , Indianapolis News : Ono does not need to allow for the natural reaction to MIOW that silver had llttlo to do with Tuesday's re sult. But If wo db allow for the reaction , a otrong case Is made only the stronger. Wo do not eeo that any friend of sound money IMS the least reason to 'bo discouraged by the result of Tuesday's elections. The people - plo ere Mill opposed to tlio 1C to 1 folly. Now 'York , Pennsylvania , Massachusetts , Maryland , Ohio and Iowa are as nifo for sound money as they over were. The situa tion has probably Improved In Kansas and South Dakota , and It Is no worse In Ne braska. Even In Kentucky It Is still powl- ble , under proper minagement , to maku a good fight with a ( air chance tor success. VOICR Of TIIK STATIS VHI'.SS.

The governor has known for months that the state treasurer's bond Is worthless : that two- thirds ot the amount signed Id signed by pro- plo who < ire bankrupts , entirely BO , aud that tlio bond Is rottrn , and that If It wore ncccs- rary to collect upon It the state would Ret practically nothing , U Is business anl not politics that Hie slate treasurer be made to give a bond worth something. H Is the gov ernor's business to sec that ho docs. It has been the governor's business for mouths buck" to have a good and safe bond , and ho IMS neg lected his business to campaign up and down the fitiUo. Ho has rcfrnlncd from asking that a good bond be substituted for the rotten ono. presumably because ho thought taking action before election would bo an acknowl edgement of weakness. There Is no excuse for further delay. Tlio campaign and cam paign speaking Is over. The bond stands out notoriously weak and worthless. It Is the old Burtloy boivl over again , and the prin cipal signers on the treasurer's bond werti already pledged for nil they were worth on the Hartley bond. They were worthless on either bond , and yet the governor tor months has loft the state unprotected and without any adequate security. I'KUSO.VAI. AM ) OTHKHU'ISK.
