part OF the scheme. Carlisle, in my opinion,

ELECTIONS AND THE POLITICAL PROSPECT.
representative Boyle, of Pennsylvania, is in
the City today. He said to STAR reporter that
the result in his district shows that there is
some honesty left. Rafferty,, he said, got q very
insignificant vote, but just enough to prevent
the regular democratic nominee from being
elected He came pretty near it anyhow. II
the party had not been thus divided the demo-
Gratis would have carried it, as they had before
for him.
The democratic losses throughout the coun-
try, Wherever they occurred, he said were due
TO personal disappointments and party spats,
just as 1t occurred in his district, and there was
no political significance to it, except possibly in
Virginia, where the defeat was the result of op-

The Political Outlook.
VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVE JAMES ON THE
SHIFTING OF POLITICAL CENTERS AND THE
CHANCES IN 'SS.
A STAR reporter met Representative Darwin
r. James, OF New York, on the avenue yester-
day. The election, he says teaches him sew
erai lessons, among them that the political
centers are shifting. The free trade sentiment,
he says, is getting around to the east, and pro-
Sfr in f,oo n

Mr.. Cleveland. 1t looks that way. don't
knuw just how 1t Is, but there is something about
his bulldog way of taking hold of things that is
popular. There is no use denying it, he has got
a hold on the people somehow

votes than he did before, but he will make big
gains among the Irish. don't know what the
