usual, in the hope of being able to
give our readers definite news from
\ the election. We have succeeded
The news is definite. 1t is a long
way too definite, for republicans. In
short we have met the enemy-and
we are their'n by large majority.
AS go New York, Indiana, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, and the solid South,
so goes the Union. They have gone,
foot and dragons, for the barefooted
democracy. It's sad, but it's true.
Our enemies have made us their foot
stool. At any rate they have set
down on us in a way that is unpless-
ant, if not absolutely painful. It's
bad. It's tough. And we may as
well admit that it hurts. We do not
mind the mere loss of power. But
that Blaines and Logan, statesman
and a patriot, should be beaten by
Cleveland and Hendricks, nobody
and copperhead That is humili-
ating. 1t is disgraceful. 1t is some
thing we cannot understand. The
"brutal majority" must have gone
clean daft.
1t is useless to speculate upon the
causes of the overthrow. After a
mans head is cut off it is a matter of
little moment to him whether the am
putation was performed with buzz
saw or jack knife. We may remark,
however, that if we had the votes in
New York that we would have re-
ceived had not st. John been candi-
didate, Blaine would have been elect
ed. The serpent that the republican
party warmed into life, has turned and
stung it.
In business way, the result will
unquestionably, in our opinion, be
hurtful for year at least. Capital is
always timid, and it will not take any
risks until the policy of the new ad-
ministration is definitely indicated.
This is too great country, though, to
have its progress stopped, or even
seriously retarded by single admins
tration of any kind. 1t will soon see
the error it has made, and by the time
four gears roll around, it will be ready
once more to hand things over to the
republicans. In the mean time We will
set back and enjoy the squabble
over the spoils and exercise the inal-
ienable right of the minority to quib-
BILE and find fault and '.kick" and
"howl" over the mistakes and corrup-
ton of the victorious majority.
We might add that, as we go to
press, the returns from New York are
still indefinite and it is barely possible
that the official count will give the
state to Blaine, in which event he will
be elected. But we have hardly a
breath of hope that such will be the
case. Cleveland's majority in New
York may be less than one thousand,
but we are convinced that he will get
it.
THE STATE TICKET.
Returns from the State are very slow
coming in and the result can only be
Appropriated. The best estimate
seems to place Martins majority at
near 10000. Judging from the vote of
Allen county, this would seem to be
fair estimate. At worst it is only a
question of majorities, and few humid
reds or thousands will cut little figure.
Two years of Click and Bourbonism
have satisfied the people of Kansas,
and they return contented and happy
to their old love. That "Triumphal
Progress" by special train last week,
proved to be the farewell tour of His
Majesty, Geo. w. Click, and the re-
mainder of his term of office may as
well be devoted to refitting his cave of
gloom.
THE COUNTY TICKET.
The following is the official vote in
Allen county:
We do not give full vote on commits
sioner, but J. w. Pines majority is
81. Neither do we give the vote on
any of the state ticket except COVER
nor, as it is just the sarae, with the ex-
ception of trifiing cut on McCabe.
Names of republican candidates are
set in italics.
