Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1886-11-10
GREAT VICTORY.

HE election OF last week is great
victory for the Republican party, and
proves that the people distrust the
Democracy more than they did two,
three and four years ago. 1t has been
demonstrated to certainty that the
promise Of good times that the Dem
ocratic leaders held out to the cOun
try was only q bait to catch votes
with. Instead of the times growing
better, they have been growing worse,
and the country has settled down to
the belief that the general manage
ment Of the Democracy hes had a
great deal to do with the depression.
The Presidents indirect influence in
favor OF the single standard coin men,
and the inclination OF the Democrat
ic Congress to break the tariff laws,
has induced the people to forsake the
Democratic party in great numbers.
Incapacity never fails in breaking
men and parties. The incapacity OF
the Democracy destroyed them.
Hence the sweeping away Of the Pat
tison administration, and the reduc-
tion of the forty of a majority OF the
unterrifed in Congress to mere
handful OF five of a majority. Gen
eral Beaver with his forty odd thou
sand majority viii be inaugurated,
and with large majority ofthe Leg
islature in full sympathy with him
will give healthier tone of confidence
to the business affairs of the State, |
which Will have o wholesome re-ac-
tionery influence upon the affairs of
the nation. The Democracy will
doubtless try and SO modify their &C |
tion in Congress and elsewhere to re-
gain the confidence Of the people for
the contest in 1883. They will fail
in their effort, for it is becoming
clearer every day, that the head cen
fer of ihe influence that rules the
Democracy is in New York. That
foreign city of Free Trade on Amer
foam soil with such allies as Carlisle
and Morrison have shown their hand
10 be too largely in glove with foreign
interests scross the sea- Carlisle, the
speaker Of the House, is reelected by !
a very small majority. Morrison and {
Hurd, other great lights of the same
have been set aside. Scared q
as the administration is over the re- Il
buke that has been administered to 4
L by the people, they cannot retrieve
themselves between this and 1883.
when the great victory of 1856 Will '
bs followed by greater one in the v
election of President, who is not so q
much in accord with the American I
'oreign city of New York as is Mr.. b
Cleveland and his administration. e
The Republicans in Pennsylvania
will have a large working majority IN
the Legislature. The State will be t
and the liquor prohibi- P
tory amendment to the constitution S
viii be submitted to the people.
The one senator, and seven mem L
bers elected by Chicago TO the Hi !
nois Legislature are charged with be-
ing labor party members, another
charge is that they are communists
their presence in the Legislature rem
ders the political complexion of the
Illinois Assembly good deal mixed
New York sends twenty Republi-
cans and fifteen Democrats to Con
gress. The Democrats claim the
Legislature. New Jersey and Indi-
ana Legislatures are Democratic by
reduced majorities- The most re
marksble change has taken place IL
Virginia, four Republican, and one
Knight OF Labor congressman were
elected.
The loss of the Legislatures of New
Jersey and Indiana will give the
United States Senators to the Dem
ocracy. Nevada and California hav-
ing gone Republican the Senate will
still remain Republican
Beavers majority is between forty
two and fortyt three thousand.
