TENNESSEE.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Nov. with
nearly complete returns from this, the
Third, congressional district, the Repub-
licans confidently believe that Evans,
Rep. is elected to congress by 800 or 400
majority. The Democrats, however, dc
not admit Bates defeat. The excite
ment is intense and business is practl-
caliy suspended. The attempts upon
colored men attempting to vote the
Democratic ticket in this city, by col
Ored Republicans. was bold. Men were
bodily carried away from the polls,
colored women taking conspicuous
part. Those supposed to be Democrats
were afraid to go to the polls. There
was no serious disturbance. however.

triet, reelected by OYER 1000 majority.

national and state tickets. The success
of the Democratic Legislative ticket in
this county insures the reelection of
Senator ISham C. Harris.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE Democratic
committee has complete and incomplete
returns from about 80 of the Ia counties
in this state, which indicate that Cleve-
land will have plurality of $4,000 in
the state. and that Francis, Dem, for
governor, will have plurality of 14,000.
These returns embrace the vote of ST.
Louis. Kansas City and all other large
cities in the state. Returns from 50
towns and precincts outside of st. Louis
and Kansas City, one county and two
wards of Moberly, give Cleveland 1904,

erner, 14,526; Kimball, Rep, for gov
nor, 12.0O2. Kimball seems to be run

Gratis claim the election of Tarnsey,

THE COUNTRY is SAVE.

The country is safe, no matter who is
elected. 1t was gratifying feature of
the late political campaign that it was
unusually free from bitterness. and was
conducted on plane of decency that
has not heretofore been characteristic
of American politics. 1t was also OBJ
seryable that business was less dis
turbed than is its wont in years when
national election is pending. These
conditions were partially due to the eX-
ceedingly clean administration which
President CLEVELAND had given the
country the last four years. Another
reason for it was in the confidence which
prevailed among the masses in the con-
servatism of latter day politics, and the
consequent impression that, whichever
party succeeded, the finances of the
country would remain on a stable basis,
and that its business interests would be
protected.
The GLOBE is not one of those who
believe that because their party meets
with reyerses wreck of worlds will be
sure to follow. While we believed

THE STATE.

EPHRAIM is joined to his idols, Not
withstanding the vital interest the
people OF Minnesota had in securing
tariff reform, partisan prejudice was
too strong to admit of thoughtful con-
sideration of the subject. AS result
HARRISON and MORTON have carried the
state by plurality in the neighborhood
of $1,000. The Republican candidate for
governor goes in by a less plurality,
but by one suffientiy large to
admit of no contest. The Repub-
licans have succeeded in regain
ing all the ground they lost in
the congressional elections two years
ago, as the returns indicate that Minnie
sofa will be represented in the next
house Of representatives by solid Re-
publican delegation. As matter Of
course, the legislature will be Republic
an, and Republican senator elected TO
succeed Mr.. SABIN. Thus it will be
seen that if there are mistakes made
during the next state administration,
the Democrats will not be held RESPONSE
ble for them.

TOGETHERONCE MORE.

1t is better to have fought and lost
than not to have fought at all, particu-
larly when principle was at stake.
We have met the enemy, and we are
theirs. 1t was a landslide all around,
and when there is no ground left to
stand on what is the use trying to
stand up?
Naturally, the first thing the general
public will inquire about will be
the causes which led to the re-
suit, when, as matter Of fact, eX-
plantations are not at all necessary.
There may have been one cause, there
may have been another, OF there may
have been a combination of causes; but
whatever may be the explanation, it
doesn't change the fact. The corpora
tions are mainly responsible for it.
Their vast power was concentrated in
the doubtful states. and the cause of
the people went down under it. That
is the long and short of If.
The thing to do now is to make the
best of what has happened. We have
been promised an unprecedented busi-
ness boom in case HARRISON were
elected and the high tariff pol
icy maintained. Now let us have
it. Let the Democrats go to work
and help our Republican friends to
bring it about. No good will be accom-
plished by sitting down to grieve over
defeat that can not be reversed. The
proper thing to do is to laugh at mis-
fortune, and, turning our attention from
politics to the material interests of the
country, endeayor to inaugurate that
era Of prosperity which was promised if
the manufacturing interests were to re-
main undisturbed. If we are to con-
tinue to pay high taxes on everything
we eat and wear, it behooveS us to give
an impetus to industrial life in order
that business may be set ADJOINING,
and we can have chance to make
enough to pay these high taxes.
The GLOBES advice oits Democratic
readers is to turn their faces to the
front and let the dead past bury its
dead. For the next four years we will
have no politics, except among the COM
paratively few who are scrambling for
the offices that drop from the lap of
patronage. The rest of us. Republicans
and Democrats, will be standing hand
to hand, shoulder to shoulder, in the
wiser and nobler struggle for national
prosperity and individual happiness.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-11-08
TIE AGONY Is OVER.

The jig is-up. The returns contained
in our news columns this morning leave
but little room to doubt the election OF
the national Republican ticket by such
decided electoral vote as to remove all
possibility of a contest. 1t will be con-
strued into popular Endorsement OF the
high tariff doctrine promulgated by the
Chicago platform, and the Republican
party will be entitled to credit for all
the benefits that may accrue to the
country from perpetuation of that pol
icy. On the other hand, ii the land
should fall prey to Fastening ills be-
cause of a continuation Of this policy,
the Republican party will be held re-
Sp0nsible, and will have to answer to
the people four years hence.
While it didn't go our way, still it is
a qualification that the popular verdict
has been so pronounced and so decisive.
If the majority Of the voters of the
states want Republican ideas put into
practice in the administration of the
government, it is better for all interests
that the Republican party should have
unobstructed control of all depart
ments of the government. Then there
can be no possible excuse for not full
filling to the letter all Republican
promises made in the campaign. Ii the
party fails to keep its promises, Or if
the promises when kept work disad-
vantageously to our national interests,
then il will be that much better for the
Democrats four years hence.

to Oak View. The president remained
in and received several callers. He
held his usual reception In the East
room. He was agreeable to about sixty
people there. Col. Lamont seemed to
regard the thing as settled. He was
not especially disposed to speculate on
the cause of the result. Money he men-
toned as one thing. He was surprised
at Kings county. He declared that
Gov. Hill had done all he could for the
Cleveland did not were from the Re-
publican liquor interests, and not to be
controlled by any one. He did not
think that the result in the city pointed
to much trading. In the departments
there is deep depression and keen
suppression. The Democrats are in
dumps. The Republican hoid-over
clerks are suppressing their feeling
lest it burst out too soon.
WoRKINGMEN WE'RE WHEEDLED.
Secretary Whitney, in an interview
to-day, said: 'Wen, we've nothing to
congratulate ourselves upon. The loss
of New York to the Democrats was
caused by the fact that the workingmen
had not been properly educated as to
the tariff. The question has not been
properly presented to them, and they
were made to believe that the Demo-
Gratis were free traders, instead of mere
tariff reductioniSts.''
NOT DUE TO THE TARIFF.

soon after leaving the White house to
day. The president, he said, admitted
that the news thus far received looked
very unfayorable. do you think the

The Old Roman went through the con-

years, and stands higher than ever in
popular estimation. He is younger than
GLADSTONE, and shows little abate-
ment of physical vigor and none of men-
tai strength. There is hardly more
pitiable sight than that of man dying
at the top. This is often the case where
those in advanced age give up the actiyi-
ties that have become second nature,
for the rest supposed to be desirable in
the fading years of life. 1t is better to
keep all the faculties in active exercise
until the break comes. than to rust out
by diSuse.
