CLEvELAND's election is now an es-
tablished and declared fact. The Off
cial count of New York is completed
and resulted in a plurality of l,O7S
for the democratic candidate. This
victory is one of the most important
events of the late history of this coun-
try. The Democracy succeeded in
routing the greatest political money
machine and the most unscrupulous
politicians in the Union. 1t has elect.
ed and will inaugorate a president
who is an honest, cautious and con-
servative man and who will be con-
scientous exponent of the principles
of real and healthy reform. When the
Republicans depart from their Offices
they can do so with the assurance
that the affairs of the country will be
in competent and safe hands.
Therefore we can lay aside all fear
and anxiety and be assured that
Democratic government will be more
wholesome than the Republican party
made it for the last ten years.

The Real Cause Of Defeat.

The Blaine newspapers, now that
they have been compelled to admit
the election of Grover Cleveland, find
an interesting if not a pleasurable
pastime in explaining the cause of
republican defeat. By some it is as
cribed to Logan, by others to Blaine
but by none to the realscause. 1t is
of course very obvious that the nom
ination of Blaine at Chicago arrayed
considerable portion of his party a
gainst him. 1t is plain, too, that the
prohibitionist contributed largely to
the cause of the republican rout.
But it was not so much Logan nor
Blaine nor the temperance movement
which brought about the result. The
great reason of this defeat is to be
found among the people themselves.
Successive presidential campaigns
have demonstrated the truth that the
country is tired of and
disgusted with the glaring iniquities
OF republican rule. Under its deter
iorating influences public credit is de-
pressed, governmental practices are a
disgrace and the honor of the republic
crushed.
These distressing facts aroused a
widespread desire upon the part of
the people to get rid of such iniquities.
There was popular confidence in
Grover Cleveland and his elevation to
the presidency is due to the fact that
the belief was and is general that un-
der democratic administration salu-
tary changes would be made and that
there would be a return to the honor
able mode of conducting the govern.
ment which prevailed in. earlier DAYS.
In this belief the people will not be
disappointed.-Patriot
