NEWSPAPER OPINION.


London Times
Upon the whole Il cannot be denied
that the Democrats have met with dis
astrous defeat; and though we believe
that President Cleveland internal policy
and administration were more remarka-
BE for capacity and uprigbtpess than any
thing to which the Republicans can point
in recent years. we cannot profess par
ticularly TO regret an event which
may be regarded as the appropriate pen
atty for discredtable subservienee 10
the meanest influences in American poll
ties and a culpable neglect to the deeen
cies of international intercourse. Il is
not improbable that hr Cleveland's hasty
change of front on the fisheries question,
when his opponents in the Senate had re-
jected the draft treaty and when it be-
came necessary to outbid them In buster
against this country, as well as Mr.. Bay
ards extraordinary behavior IN
the case Of Lord Sackvills, may
have alienaied or, at least, cooled the zeal
Of many among the friends Of purity. re

CORRUPT and demagogic rule Of the Re

cal corruption than TO attempt to traffic

Mr. Cleveland raised the Issue fairly

was deliberately obscured by the exigeu-
cies Of political wire pullers, aud while
the Democrats had 20 bear the full force
of the Protectionist attack their conduct
was not such as to elicit the enthusiasm
Of free-traders. If, however, we must
look upon the Democratic defeat as not
undeserved by the President, his Secre-
tary Of State, and the managers Of the
party, who We're ready to pay any

One In March last. caused by broken
