THE Republicans are looking for
a scapegoat, for pair Of shoulders
broad and strong enough to bare the
blame and shame of the defeat of
Blaine. What that gentleman him
self says we have commented upon
in another paragraph. He blames
the rain, the Prohibitionists, the In
dependent Republicans and Brother
Burchard Of the three Rs, and the
Tribune attributes it to the spending
of too much money ON brass bands
and not enough on publications and
the circulation Of documents dixie
the Tribune, we suppose). Theo-
dore Roosevelt attributes it to "a
combination of untowardness. If"
he says, "the Coukling wing Of the
Stalwarts had been true; if Burch-
ards terrible ALTERATION had not
been sprung upon us so late in the
campaign: if that soap dinner at
Delmouico's had not come off, or if
the Prohibitionists had been as hon
est and conscientious as they claim
ed-in brief, if any one of these OPP
posing factors had been eliminated,
Mr.. Blaine would have won. Mr..
Mike Cregan, on the other hand, as
will be seen from our Washington
correspondents letter, says that
Jones and Elkins did the business,
and he denounces them as the "big-
gest chumps in politics" he ever
knew; and Gorham, the late Sccrc-
tary of the Senate, says Conklin Just
"withered Blaine by hot blast of
his silence" But Secretary Lin
coin beat them all, and hit the nail
on the head when he said it was due
to Cleveland getting the most votes.
That's the whole case in nut she'll.

THE next legislature should elect
Democrat to the United States
Senate. They should know the man
they elect is thoroughly sound on
the tariff question and sternly op-
posed to the cncroachment of mo-
nopolies. We want no political
trimmer. We want and demand a
Democratic leader who will fearless
" and boldly advocate Democratic
doctrines. We need no more shaky
politicians who are afraid to stand
by the true interest of the people
for fear of losing a chance to get an
Office. We believe that the Hon.
Poindexter Dunn is just the man
we need. We know by his public
record in congress that lie is true

ing the principles of his party. Let

Cleveland and Hendricks.
NEW XGfesS SOLID FOR
TEgsI DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.

After Il long delay, during which
the public mind was held in painful
suspense, the Board of Canvassers
for the State of New York got
through their work, and the joyful
tidings flashed over the wires an
nouncing the election OF Cleveland
and Hendricks, as President and
Vice President. The victory is ours;
+, hurrah for hurrah! \ strong and
abiding faith in the principles OF
democracy have at last been reward
ed, and the responsibilities thereby
devolved will be as bravely met and
faithfully discharged, by the stand
ard bearer Of reform and economical
government. The New Orleans
Times Democrat truly SAYS:
ave enter now upon new and
brighter chapter Of American history.
For the first time in a quarter of a
century, the destinies Of the nation
are conGded to the people them
selyes-to those who give the coun-
try all it possesses of yigor, of cour.
age and of honesty. For the first
time in twenty-five years the gov
eminent is truly representative-the
administration the direct creation of
the masses. For this result we have
striven long and patiently. Through
indescribable adversities, under dis
couragcments that would have APP
palled less devoted hearts and in the
face Of obstacles almost insurmount-
able, we have adhered to the prin-
ciples hallowed by every honorable
memory and observance, and at last
we have seen them triumphant. 1t
is a glad and glorious day which sees
the final announcement of the over
throw of Rcpublicanism and the
installation Of the party which cher
fishes the philosophy of the founders
of the Republic, We need not say
that the Democratic party takes up
its responsibility in reverent and
humble spirit. In these long years
i.of waiting and depression, we have
learned, not bitterness and ven
reance, but love of country and hon
est ambition to express that love III
useful and m emorable deeds. There
is no need to make promises any
more than to gloat over the vanquish-
ed. The victory is ours and duty
also. Let us show the world tina;
we can discharge the duty intelli-
gently and conscientIously as we won
the victory brayely. We WILL dc
that. 1t is sufficient for the present
to know that the long night of Re
publicanism is at an end, and that
the light has broken in our East
at last"
