A Victory for All.


Now that the smoke of the political battle ia
fairly cleared away We can view the field dis
passionately, and certainly there is good cause
for congratulation that the issue between the
two great parties-the tariff question-has
been squarely met and as squarely decided,
and while the eleven million of voters have
cast their ballots amid the widest excitement,
not riot has occurred or a drop of blood
been spilled throughout the length and
breadth Of this broad land. We have also to
be thankful for the example of its freedom
from personalities. for not u word has been
spoken or printed that could bring a blush to
the cheek Of the most fastidious. That alone
Is a memory which reflects honor upon the
victors as well as upon the vanquished and is
brilliant victory for both. History will
record the 9th of November, 1888, as q ..red
letter day" Of republican free government
and will place the great American nation fore
most among the people of the earth.
