The Freie Pre&Sc has this to say con-
ccrning the last election:
"The spirit of hatred for foreigners
and its own IDEAS of tyranny had be-
come so paramount in the Republican
party that we look upon the result with
certain degree of unalloyed pleasure.
president Harrison and Governor
tifcr in theirappointments, have ever
looked the Germans. The law against
German private and parochial schools;
the decision against the printing of city
matter in German; the movement
against the teaching of German in the
public schools did not find in the Re
publican press any opposition Added

the foreigner and dalliance with
temperance, it is no wonder that the
votes Of the German element have be-
come alcnated from the Republican
party.
"Perhaps this wholesale defeat may
become n lesson for the Republican
party Should it be so the party will
arise stronger than it was before the
crisis. If it does not, however, the
Republican party will not elect the
next President and Illinois will berep-
