TRIUMPHANT DEMOCRACY.


great triumph of Tuesday last. In
that magnificent Democratic victory,
old Virginia, that gave to the world a
Jefferson, that Liberty might have an
apostle, led the way, and by the I'M
precedented majority of $4,000, cal
led upon Mckinney, her noble, true
and gifted son, to preside over her
destinies, and perpetuate the liberty
that Jefferson had enunciated. This
victory is most significant. One year
ago Cleveland's plurality was but
$50. Malone, the example of all
that is unworthy in American poll
tics, stepped into the arena as the
standard bearer of the Republican
party, expecting to overcome this
small plurality. He was backed by
the whole power of the Federal Ad-
ministration, and the President belied
his civil service declarations by turn
ing over to him the appointing power
for the entire State; while the Re-
publican committee supplied him
abundantly with the "sinews of war"
But Harrison's administration had
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting, and although he had
sprung from her loins, she desired
to rebuke a grand. child who endeav-
ored to force the cup Of humiliation
to her lips, while allowing the Fede
raj judiciary to be used as means Of
intimidating public opinion. Nlr-
ginia's response to such an outrage is
written in her glorious Democratic
victory, and the handwriting she
places upon the wall might be read
with profit by other pigmies who are
playing tyrants while pretending to
administer Justice.

Ohio, the rich and jewel-bedecked
daughter of Virginia, and by her
given to the Union, after following
false gods, has told her mother, in un-
mistakable language, "whither thou
goest, will go, thy people shall be
my people, thy God my Cod
Harrison carried Ohio by a plu-
rality of 10000 only year ago, and
now Campbell is elected Governor
by over 5000 majority, and a Demo
cratic Legislature secured, thus in
surfing the continuance of a Demo
cratic U. S. Senator from that State.
Foraker, the blatant traducer and
hater OF the South, has been called
upon to fold the ensanguined gar
ment and retire from public view,
while the people have enunciated the
Democratic principle, that legislation
should be for the benefit of the masses
and not for classes.
New jersey stands strongly by the
tenets Of true Democracy, and the
" Grubb y of Rpublicanism has been
swallowed by the Democratic roos-
ter, and Albeit elected Governor by
$4,000 majority.
Iowa, one of the greatest agricul-
tural States of the great Northwest
the home Of Clarkson, who runs
Wanamaker's political gulllotine-a
State that has an unbroken record of
Republican successes, has for the first
time in it's history, given expression
TO the realization that its vast agri-
cultural interest is being sacrificed to
the moloch of Radical monopoly.
Yes, even Iowa has wheeled into
line and elected Democratic Gov
ernor
Maryland is Democratic, anu the
great empire State Of the North,
New York, has risen in the majesty
of her power, and by $4,000 Demo
cratic majority, indicated the prin,
ciples 50 ably championed by her
noble sor, Grover Cleveland.
Throw, then, the cap of liberty
high, and shout the glad tidings,
for the principles of Jefferson are
''marching on and 1892 will wit
ness the triumph of the people
against sordid monopoly.
