the hard money doctrines of the Demo-

Ono Result or the Fiat Money
Move ment.

During the past summer and since the
opening OF the political campaign. a we'll
known gentleman OF this city went to New
York for the purpose OF, borrowing money
At low rate OF interest to re-loan here.
In New York be met a friend. a resident
OF that city, who informed him that he had
recently borrowed s35, 900 for four months
at per cent. a year. He said he could
have got the money for . longer time If he
had wanted II, and the broker VIII" loaned
Ii 70 him wanted him 10 take 800 900 At
the same rate. The Indianapolis man was
greatly encouraged by this information.
and NJ once made known his business TO
his friend. The latter heard him through.
aud said: Mr.. it is useless for
you or any other Western man TO try to
borrow money here to be used ia the Yves,
while the present financial agitation lasts.
There Is plenty Of money to loan on very
low Interest. but the owners will not lend
II except under circumstances OF the great
est security. The imitation movement in
the West has alarmed capitalists TO such
On extent that do not think that IL will
be possible for Western man to borrow
money here" This was discouraging.-
The next person approached was another
friend of the Indianapolis man. gentle
man who was known to have money to
lend himself. When the business was
opened TO him he said: "Mr. ~
have about $4,000 in bank which have
no use for. but do not propose to invest
il till the money question is settled, and es-
pecially could not think OF letting it go
West Other capitalists gave the same
reply. Oar informant says he talked with
1t least forty persons In the East who had
money to lend, but not one WAS willing to
invest while the infiat ion agitation contin-
ued. As n leading capitalist said. IL do
not propose to invest any money until |
know what kind Of money l shall get
back" The gentleman who relates these
facts says he could have obtained all the
money he wanted at a very low rate OF 10.

The Colorado election shows bet
ter result than even the most sanguine
Republicans dared to hope. Two years
ago that State went Republican by
about 1000 majority. This year the ma
ierity is about 5000. The Republicans
have elected their Governor. member of
Congress. and nearly threefourths of
the members Of the Legislature.
In Denver. they have elected their
mayor by about 100 majority. q gain Of
600 votes. and county which had 700
Democratic majority two years ago
shows only 800 majority this year.
Judge Belford. just elected to Con.
grsss, was clearly elected two years ago.
but . Democratic House while crying
fraud. unseated him and gave it to the
Democratic candidate who was not cleo
ted. The late election shows how that
action Of the House was regarded BY
the State. The people this year deter.
mined to make the Republican majority
80 large that the Democrats in Congress
would not dare to rufuse their member
his seat. and they have succeeded ad-
mirably. 1t also secures Republican
Senators In the U. S. Senate. and should
the election of our next President be

than 1900 Greenback votes having been

Elections of Tuesday

The returns from the States holding
tl.eir election on Tuesday last. are. as
vet. incomplete: but enough have been
received to indicate pretty clearly the
result in each State.
The Democratic guaranteeing oil
the Congressional Districts in Ohio has
been forcibly rebuked by the voice of
the people. Eleven. and probably
twelve. out OF the twenty Districts in
that State. have gone Republican, and
the State ticket is elected by about 5000
Republican majority.
Indiana is still Democratic. though
the Republicans made = grand fight and
are thoroughly united. Iowa is Repub-
licsn BY large majority, over the COM
bined Democrats and Greenbackers.
West Virginia has elected two Demo
cratic Congressman the third being still
in doubt. The most striking feature OF
these elections is the Insignificant vote
OF the soft money party.
In Ohio, where the question of soft
money had its earliest advocates, and
where the subject has been most thor
oughly discussed, the people have pro
nounced Overwhelmingly against it.
Communism, OF which Greenbsck ism Is
the advance guard, has been brought
too near the doors of the Ohio people
10 be any longer attractive.
The elections show conclusively the
wisdom of the Republican leaders in
refusing TO make any trades with the
soft money party. The principle OF
Honesty is as certain OF success in pub
lie as in private affairs. To this princi-
pie the Republican party is fully com
mitted. and no one need have doub, o.
its ultimate and complete success.
