time by the Democrats, is Republi-
can by plurality of 1900 to 1000.
All the other northern states are IN
the Republican line, all with good,
decisive pluralities and some with

Virginia and Missouri the Republi-
cans claim the election Of Governor,
and in Louisiana Republicans gain

that The insult should be resented.
Neither Cleveland nor his cabinet
are entitled to any credit for their
action, which was forced upon them
by the American people.
Many Democrats are clamoring
for the removal of Secretary Bayard
from the head of the State Depart

a gentleman that Dan Lamont told
a friend to-day that Cleveland would
dismiss Bayard from the Cabinet if
it were not for the nearness of the
election.
Under the present administration
American interests suffer abroad as

been received at the State Depart

vessel by the Haytian government
at Port.au-Prince. The few vessels
in our navy are scattered around the

As says the Milwaukee Sentinel,
the result is one over which the

a victory for principles and policies

1t is a rebuke to a party and an ad-

solid foundations, and that repre-
sents the best and most progressive
element Of the nation will, accord
ing to present indications, reasume
control Of national affairs on the 4th
of March next, under the leadership
of an accomplished statesman whose
qualities have been tested on the
battlefield and in the councils of the
nation. 1t is result for which
every patriotic American ought to
feel proud and grateful
The Republicans have fought a
gallant fight, and have won a great
and honorable victory. They have
had to contend with terrible odds,
with the solid south against them,
and the whole power and patronage
of the government In the hands OF
corrupt and unscrupulous politicians.
In this state we have a majority

THERE can be no doubt that con-
scientious and considerate women
will do well 20 re-examine the ground
upon which the w. G. T. u. has
been working. It's supposed object,
and doubtless its original principle,
was a moral and social effort 10 turn
individuals from incorporate TO
temperate living. Fifty years ago
temperance recorded It's triumphs in
the reformation of drunkards, the
reduction of the number of the
saloons by the voluntary withdrawal
of their keepers from their traffic,
and in the diffusion of i literature
which created a watchfulness against
the temptation of strong drink.
Next TO ihe direct influence Of
Christianity itself upon the hearts
of men, the movement begun by
Lyman Beeeher in his "six sermons"
probab,e has done the most to clear
the moral atmosphere of American
life. But now there is only here
and there "a man like Francis Muir
