The Journal, commenting on the resalt,
ssys:-'' Ii Is significant OVerthTOS in mtnv
senses, but IL does not mean that the Old dsm-
Ocratic party has taken even a temporary lease
Of power in Massachusetts. 1sbousants Of re-
publlcans voted yesterday with the democrats
because they were dissatisfied with grievances
which are mainly the outgrOwth Of Baterism
This feeling in itself = sufficient 10 account Tor
the change that has taken place. When we
couple with this special objections which thou
sands urge against all sumptuRTy laws, We have
the leading causes Of the rOut. That the result
is disastrous 10 the republican org2nizatiOn a. a
party IL would be folly 10 deny. The loss of
Congressman. from whatever cause IL NAV have
arisen, Is most damaging, especially in view OF
victories accomplished by the opponents OF the
administration in other states. That it denotes
important changes IN the political future of the
country is certain" The Advertiser says: "But
part CT the falling OF, and not q small part, was
directly owing to causes for which the admins
trstion is responsible, Outside OF al considers-
tlOns or popularity or fitness OF candidates the
republicans would not vote in a way that could
be construed ae an endorsement of the means
by which the administration had made it's
power felt in Massachusetts. They have had
severe experience Of what it costs to be loyal
TO the party during the past twelve months.
They have seen the power OF organt alton PASS
ing into the control of men for whom the people
have no respect. They have seen important
federal Offices in this state manipulated for pri-
vate ends, in violation of the rules of the civil
service and studied contempt OF their advice
and Judgment. They have seen the party ma.
chinery taken possession OF by recipients OF ex-
ecutive favor and used TO purify themselves in
their positions and to intimidate ali candidates

with the temperance question has been tried
and it has failed disastrousiy. VOt-
ers thought that the time had come
longer. A reduction OF the aggregate republi-
can vote for CoDgressmen by 200 or j0,OOl,
and the loss OF majority OF the delegation, is
the only answer it was in their power 70 make
TO what they have long looked upon a. grave
misuse of executive patronage. The defeat of
some Of our members OF Congress is to be deepIy
regretted, but 1t Is the price we have 10 paw for
what we deyoutly trust VIII result in the politi-
cal regeneration OF the commonwealth.
