4 CRAVE DlsAPP0I7MENT

n When our free trade friends COM
msnsed their brilliant and triumph
ant campaign in Congress, which re-.
suited in the election of Mr.. Car
Isle as Speaker, nothing was more
impressive than the serene conf
denes with which they declared that
the adoption of unqualified free trade
principles on the part of the Demo
cracy, which would probable rem
der it impossible te carry New York.
New Jersey, Connecticut, Psnnsyl-
vsnia, or Ohio, would certainly re-
suit in bringing into the Democratic
fold the great Western States of Ill
inois, Iowa, Kansas, and Wiscon-
sin, all hitherto Republican. There
was something exceedingly interest
ing in this proposition, and We have
since been looking for confirmation
of it. When tho necessity arose of
eleeting member of Congress
from the second district of Kansas,
by far the most important in the
State, in the place of the late Mr..
Haskell, there was every reason to
hope that the expected csnfrma-
ton was ut hand. Mr.. Haskell, who
was Republican, was elected by 3
plurality of about $500 votes over
the regular Democratic candidate,
while 8, zoo votes were cast for q
Greenback candidate. There was
thus in the district a majority of
more thar 200 votes against the
Republicans, and this seems to rem
der it easy to carry it now in the
interest of free trade. The canvass
was made with great energy and
determination, especially on the
side of the free trade Democrats.
The Kansas City Times, one of the
ablsst free trade Journals in the
country, and by far the most pow
erful organ of the Democracy in ali
that region, did its very best. and
the Governor of the State also ap,
piled rather sharp dodge in call
ing the special election for Satur'
day, since there is body of some
| 5000 Seventh Day Baptist voters
in that district who are mainly Re
publicans, and who, it was thought
would keep away from the polls i
if the election was held on the day
4 they reverence as the Sabbath.
| On the Republican side protec
tionist farmer named Funston wa
the candidate, and the contest turn
ed squarely upon the question o
protection or free trade. SD .aE
Ef Yet when the votes came to b
counted, the protectionist candidat
had majority of more than 5000
and in tho face of such fact, al
the illusions of carrying any one {
the great Western Republica
States for the Democracy on th
free trade platform-are scen to b
the veriest stuff that dreams ar
made of.
