THE E RESULT.

No thanks to the democrats of the
Fifth congressional district OF Missouri
the new house of representatives will
have about twenty democratic MAORI
ty. There have been losses to the
democrats in Virginia, New York,
Ohio and Illinois, which have been
made up in Minnesota, where the
democrats gain three, in New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Tennessee.
New Mexico, Arizona and Montana re-
tn n democratic delegates. In rock
ribbed New Hampshire the democrats
elect the governor and legislature; as
they have done in New Jersey; also in
Colorado. In New Jersey a democrat
will thus succeed United States sena-
tor Sswell, who is a republican
In Indiana the democrats have elected
the legislature and will elect a U. s.
senator in place OF Senator Harrison,
republican. The grandest victory,
however, in its results as they effect
the presidential election, is the election
Of Hon. Abram s. Hewitt mayor of
New York over Messrs George and
Roosevelt. The high character of MIR.
Hewitt, his ~incorruptible integrity,
great experience and knowledge of
public affairs, insures a united County
aud Tammany democracy, which
meaus New York state for the demo-
Gratis in 1888. On the whole, therefore,
while there have been disappointments
here and there, the general results seem
to be favorable to the democrats.

THE CONGRESSIONAL ELEC-
TON.

The republicans in Kansas City
claim the election of Major Warner by
a majority GA. The democrats claim
that there have been gross frauds per-
petrated by the republicans in Kansas
City which will. if exposed, give
Judge Philips q majority OF at least five
hundred.
Our information regarding the
character and extent of the frauds
is meager and we can express no opin-
ion regarding them, except this, that
the Kansas City Times in its indentif-
cation of Judge Philips with Mr.. Cor
rigsn's personal interests, is insulting
every democrat worthy of the name i'll
the Fifth congressional district. Judge
| Philips was unanimously chosen as the
| standard bearer of the democratic par
ty. That he is a worthy n no man
will gainsay. He has made an active,
faithful, splendid canvass, in this county
at least against money and a whisky
and beer campaign that was so far as
we know unprecedented; and if the
Journal can say that thugs and plug
uglies have voted for Philips in Kansas
City, it can be truthfully said, that
the purchssable, corrupt, socialistic,
anarchist vote of this county was cast
for Warner. Not one dollar came into
Lafayette in Judge Philips interest.
Unless all signs are false there was
more money spent in Maj. Warmers
behalf than was ever before spent in a
canvass in this county.
Against the SANDERS of the republic
cal press as to his private character:
against the forgery of the Long decis-
ion published in the republican news
papers; against the attempt to drag the
judicial ermine in the mud by assalling
him for an honest opinion from the
bench, Judge Philips has made an hon
orable, a dignified and an honest can
vass; and for one we protest against
the attempt of an organ which has
betrayed the party to sully his record
as a candidate of the party by coupling
his candidacy with anything that is
disreputable.
We have no advice to give as to a
contest, but we are willing to trust the
honor of the party in the hands of John
F. Philips, to stand by it in any assault
upon it, whether perpetrated by frauds
the ballot box or from any other
direction.

nounced that the Kansas City Times,

nounced that the Kansas City Times
q Taper that has grown wealthy on
Democratic patronage, would not sup
port the nominee. The Democrat
knowing John F. Philips intimately
and recognizing in him a candidate OF
whom the people of any congressional
district might feel proud, was not pre-
pared to believe that the Times would
bolt the nomination of the distinguished
candidate, but alas it proved only too
true. During the entire campaign the
Times not only failed to indOrse Col.
Philips but secretly worked forthe sue
cess of his Republican competitor, to
the disgust of every honorable Demo-
crat in the state.
While the Times did not openly de-
nounce Col. Philips, its silence led many
to believe that the outrageous and false
charges preferred by the Journal and
other radical papers were true, aud the
result was the defeat of the Demo-
cratic nominee by Major VIM. Warner
by a majority of 738 votes.
Now that 1t has accomplished its pur-
pose. the Times, like many of the boiling
Democrats OF Pettis county, Is coming
forward with excuses for its conduct, as
will be seen by the following extract
from an editorial which appeared in
that paper yesterday:
"The Fifth district was not redeemed.
Judge Philips, an able and honest man,
was defeated by a large majority. This
deplora6le result is not a defeat of the
Democratic party nor of Judge Philips.
1t is the rebuke administered by Kan
sas City to the wors elements of the
party within her limits. Unfortunately
for the candidate, who was strong
enough in himself to have carried the
district almost without q canvass, the
management Of the canvass was assum.
ed by Mr.. Thomas Corrigan and u set
composed chiefly of boilers and of men
OF the Corrigan stamp. The issue was not
Judge Philips and Major Warner, but
Corrigan and the people Of Kansas
City. The people won, and inflicted
upon the bad part of the Democratic
party a blow which true Democrats
can not say was nndeserved. Judge
Philips, capable and honest though he
is, was the victim selected by what was
alter all for the Democratic party a
kind destiny, as the sacrifice necessary
to purge the party of it's disc sses. The
Times mourns owe the failure to re-
deem the district and over the chagrin
OF so fine a man as Judge Philips, but
it does not shed u tear over the slaugh-
ter of COrriganism. The Fifth district
is still Democratic. Two years hence
the redemption will come"
"Tne Times MOURN over the defeat
of Judge Philips" Off with such bosh.
In the election of Major Warner the
Times accomplished its purpose, and in
future its u%tterances in behalf of the
Democracy will be taken with many
grains of allowance.
For Thomas Corrigan and the thou.
sands OF other staunch Democrats who
labored for the success OF Col. Philips,
the Democrat has only words of un-
stinted praise. You did your duty
did it nobly, did it manfully-and the
responsibility of defeat rests on other
shoulders than yours.

THE COURIER JOURNALS LESSON,

from the Courier Journal, November Al
The defeat of Hurd and Morrison
and the narrow escape of Carlisle
should awaken the democracy from its
slnmbers and destroy its false sense OF
security. In the result of Tuesday we
hear a trumpet call to battle. There
are traitors within the camp; there are
spies everywhere; there are dangers
that hem us i'll that can only be con.
quered by relentless, by unremitting
by n~nwavering warfare.
The house is Saved to us, but if lost
it should only impress on us the neces
sity OF putting on the whole armor of
democracy. The gigantic power ofthe
concentrated and ill-gotton wealth OF
the north is arrayed against US. 1t was
this wealth that made Hurd's victory
impossible; it was this wealth that was
poured out like water in Morrison's
district it was this blood money that
organized the labor societies of Coving.
ton and Newport againt Carlisle. The
danger OF this is something more than
political; it is more than social. This
money is debauching the voters. To
these public plunderers bribery is a vir-
tue. They stop at nothing and will
buy the constituents of representatives

In the light of these reflections there

THE EIGHTEENTH ILLINOIS DIS.
TRIOT.
From the St. Louis Republican,

AAoW ~ Os kOuiS htpuDlICtu.l
The defeat of Hon. VIM r. Morri.
sonf tor congress in the Eighteenth dis
trict, Illinois, is a misfortune which We
have no disposition to underrate, Nc
success or gains made in other parts OF
the national field a u the lively
regret it brings. Somehow or other,
Morrison with his plain, blunt, open
and direct manner and ways at Wash
lngtOn, has come to represent the dem.
ocracy of the west, and the eastern
monopolists and creditor classes, dem.
ocratic and republican, will rejoice
over his discontinue for this very rea-
son. He has faithfully and fearlessly
represented his constituency, an agri
cultural and mining district, in five
successive congresses and has done no
one thing to forfeit in the smallest de-
gree the popular confidence which
these successive reflections implied.
The explanation of the present defeat
must be sought, not in any mistake OF
his, but In the contribution OF eastern
money to the desperate work OF get
ting rid of q man whose persistent ct.
forts at tariff reform marked him for
the vengeance OF the p~rotectlonists.
We believe that VIM. r. Morrison is to.
day the tavorite Of the people of the
Eighteenth district, and that a free aud
fair popular expression would demon
strate it. But this contributes nothing
to repair a defeat which will deprive
tue house of the Fiftieth congress UT
Morrison's wise counse and the west
ern interests of one of their fairest and
ablest champions. We recognize and
admit the effects of the defeat to the
full, even including the possibility of
altered relations between the western
democracy and the administration.
Democrats now recall that Morrison
was nj q favorite with the administra
ton, and that Mr.. Randall, the fornid-
able opponent of his tarlfi-reduction
policy, was; and II would not be un-
natura! IT the sympathy they feel for
the distinguished Illinois democrat
should be mixed with some feeling of
resentment toward his democratic op-
ponents.
