Presidential contest it plainly ap-
pears that no infationist or re-
pudiator can be elected. Resump-
tion of specie payments will not be him
dered by any action of Congress this win
ter. Had the Democrats taken a positive
ground in favor of sound and honest cur
rency, as manp of their most prominent
men, Senator Bayard, Gov. Seymour Sena-
tors Herman, Randolph and others wished
and urged, all the signs show that they
would have made large gains in the late
elections, besides securing the confidence of
the country for the future. ..
The Times says: The Union Democrats
of the war time are succeeded by the honest
money Democrats of to-day, and the Re-
publican party has once more profted by
their assistance. The advantages secured
in this State, in Connecticut, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, might, perchance, so far as
the financial issue is concerned, have been
acquired by the unaided Republican voe
but their moral value is enhanced by the
fact that in all of these States the bulk of
the money partisan vote and votes of an in
fuential class of moderate Democrats have
contributed to the Republican achieve
ments and rendered more certain their
wholesome effect upon National politics.
OF course, in spite of these achievements,
the next Congress will be Democratic, but
the Democratic majority in the House is
reduced not increased, while in the Senate
it will be subject to restraints within its
own party that will prevent serious harm.
CHICAGO, Nov THE Tribune this NOR
ming, commenting on the election, says:
The special significance of the election
is that the American people
have made a bold, definite and
final protest against the heresy
that the Government can create money by
fiat. The intelligence of the country re-
volted at the folly of the Democratic party.
AS usual under the estimated
intelligence of the people, its
leaders and managers seized upon the first
craze in violation of all their party tradi-
tion simply because they regarded it as a
wave TO ride upon. 1t has proved to be a
breaker.
