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.

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.

The Oniahii .ttikery and Its Lincoln

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.

The Union Pacific sale , when the transac

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

To add to tlio dllllcultles of the situation
there Is a general belief that the Central
Pacific cast of Sacramento that being the
part on which the government has a llcn-
1s not worth $54,000,000. It Is asserted that
on the basis of present prlres the road could

Kalis City Journal ( rep ) ! The republican

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.

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. Wo an *
more anxious for trade and for factories than
wo wore before the- exposition came , and ,
wo know' more than we formerly did of pic
tures and of music. This spirit that the
exposition has Infused must be kept alive.
Wo must not relax Into the old ways , There
1s a tide In the affairs of cities as well as
of men that taken at Its flood leads on to
fortune. 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.

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.

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-

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.
