Grover Cleveland is defeated because he did
not deserve a reelection. From the beginning
his administration has been marked by insin-
cerity and incompetency. True, the Demo
I'll. +
| and the people have declared that no further
steps shall be taken in that direction. The re-
suit of the election is the utter Republication by

whole country has reason to rejoice.-Xenia

| We are especially proud that Indiana stood by
| it's candidate and gave him handsome plural
| ity. He is man whom Democrats and Re-
pubcans alike may be proud to honor He will
iii with high credit the exalted place to which
| he has been called, as he has filled every other

thing for Indiana to have one Of her citizens at
the Nations head AS State she is worthy Of
such honor, for che is ono Of the richest States

worth is not outranked by any other.-Terre

| The election of General Harrison il assurance
| that the civil service of the government will be
| honestly and efficiently administered. He has
| never posed as a sui-eling pretender as George
| William Curtis and his hypocriticsi followers
have, but he is none the less sensible TO the fact
| that no party can long survive that places bad
| men in responsible positions and uses the Offices
| solely for the purpose OF paying political re-
wards, regardless Of the character Of the
men who apply for them. We be-
lieve it to be entirely safe to as
sumo that General Harrison will prove to
| be reformer in the best sense of the term, and
that he will administer the affairs Of the gov
eminent with such conscientious regard for duty
| that even the chronic spiveers will discover and
| admit that he has advanced beyond their crude
| and impractical theories as TO what civ-service
reform really is.-Lsfayette Courier
The Republican party has won a glorious vic
tory and won il over the combined forces Of the
Democracy, the third party and the British.
| The Democracy have resorted to every method
known to political warfare, and they have
brought to their aid the third party Prohibition
lists and all the liars and criminals in the conn
try, and, despite the combined forces OF Democ-
racy, Prohihitionsts, British, frauds, crimes
and perjurers the Republican party has
triumphed most goriously. It is a
| victory Of which they may justly be
| proud. It was fought out distinctivey
on the national policy of protection to
American labor and American industries as
against the sectional policy outlined in the Mills
bill 1t settles definitely what the policy of
this country is TO be on the tariff question. Il
| gives black eye TO England. who hoped,
through Democratic success. to take possession
of our markets 1t is the erandest step in favor
of labor that has been taken for moro than q
quarter OF a century. It is more important
than the adoption Of the protective tariff in
to be temporary. But this victory settles the
policy of this country. We think for at least q
century, if not for all time.-Columbus Re-
| publican.
