A PARTY TRIUMPH.-The election is
a party triumph-purely SO. There are
no outlying contIngenis Of mugwump
mercenaries and adventures claiming TO
represen, foreign votes" to be paid.
That is a gain in the interest Of whole
some administration. If The Republican
party is in power let the Republican
party have the responsibility and be
Judged when the day comes. The EN-
ecutiye is Republican, the Senate and the
House are Republican. This is best for
the public welfare 4 Jumping, one
legged Administration is sure to be help
less when most needed. The Senate
against Cleveland was a distinct disad-
vantage, for it was a perpetual cabal
against him. Y Herald.

HARRIsOS's CHARAcTER-lt is a miti-
CATION of the defeat to know that the
successful candidate is man of the
highest personal character and of re-
spectacle qualifications for the office.
General Harrison is a better man for
President than any candidate who has
been selected by the Republicans since
Lincoln. Ii is a matter Of grave doubt,
however, whether he has the force OF
character to enable him to conduct his
Administration free from the demoralz-
ing influences of the degenerate polti.
clans who have succeeded for the most
part to the former statesmelike leaders Of
the Republican party.
We have full faith that the Democratic
defeat is only temporary. The party is
right, and in government of the peo-
pie the right viii preyail.-N. /. World.

PUBLIC OPIN oS.-Much will depend,
however. upon the manner and extent to
which public opinion may be expressed
before the meeting Of the Fifty-frst Con

to any intelligent observer that the result
Of the election is not to be taken as pop

THE GRAND OLD MAN" - The
speeches which Mr. Gladstone has de-
liyered at Birmingham, ard particularly
his browning declaration OF answering
devotion to home rule, have put an end
to the reports that lie contemplated re-
tirement from public life, and that his
withdrawal would entail decided changes
in the programme of the British Liberals.
In his unriyalled powers Of oratory and
of craftsmanship there is as yet no sign
of decadence, and the Unionists must sp-
parently resign themselves TO seeing those
tremendous factors in British politics
arrayed against them for some years to
come II Is no less certain that, while
he lives, the home rule question will be
kept In the focus of public attention, al
though, of course, no opportunity of
upsetting the Tory Government on In
