FORAKER LOTS IN OHIO ARE TOO
SMALL! CAMPBELL TOSSED 'EM

THE TARIFF LEAVEN WORKS JUST
LIKE A CHARM! PROTECTION (?)

Ger! And Grover Cleveland will
Go In Once More!
In Kansas Counties Barton's Not Alone
While "Old Virginny' Salivates
Malone!


great cause for rejoicing over the result
of elections this fall. The wonderful
democratic gains made in every locality
are good indications that the issue
started i'll last falls campaign, the
issue of taliff reform, is beginning to
be better understood by the voters of
the United States; they are good indi-
cations that the people can no longer
be bought by fat" fried from the
mOnopolistS Of the land; that they
want a government for the people and
not for favored few, that protection
should protect the weak and not the
strong, and that bossism, trusts, and
combinations of capital must go.
OHIO.
Hon. James E. Campbell is elected
governor of Ohio by rousing majority,
and Ben. Foraker, ''The Little Brass
God" has got an everlasting quietus.
And that is not all The entire state
ticket is elected, and beyond much
doubt both branches of the state legis-
lature are democratic. This means a
fair and just redistricting of the state
for congressional purpose, and a repeal
of various laws made for the sole pur-
pose OF making the state solid repub-
lcan. Three cheers and a tiger for
Ohio!
IOWA.
This grand western state is already
classed among the "doubtful" by re-
publican leaders, but there is nothing
doubtful about her democratic ma
jOrities for governor and her state
officers. Boies goes in with 10000 to
$4,000 majority.
VIRGINIA.
Mahoneism is busted. Virginia is
all right, with 10000 democratic
majority. Little Billy Malone worked
hard and pulled his party's leg for all
it was worth; he got assistance from
Washington, but he had to go. The
little political trickster is salivated.
NEW YORK.
This state is also straight democratic.
The County Democracy fused with
the republicans and attempted to
divide the democratic vote, but it was
no gO-nO flies on the straight New
York democrats.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The republicans elect their ticket by
a plurality Of 5,597. A republican loss
since 1888 of 26,440. The state voted
under the Australian system for the
first time, and us there is less op-
portunity to manipulate ballots at the
polls, to buy votes and all such crooked
work, in the Australian system than
the way of voting in 1883 it can plainly
be seen why there is such a falling off
of the republican majority.
KANSAS.
Dat happy land OBJ Kansas!" How
quickly she awakens to the cry of the
multitude! How proud we should be
of the brave men who flew in the face
OF the republican task masters, and
voted their honest sentiments! The
party lash went Kissing through the air
and threatened castigation to all who
did not toe the mark and stand by the
Eypocritical republican platform. But
it was all in vain. Democrats were
strong in the right and liberal minded
men of all parties refused to be badgered
into submission to the bosses. AS a
result We have democratic victories
In at least seventeen counties in the
state, with large democratic gains in
all the other counties. Barton, with a
Dig b, captures the entire bakery
don't leave the opposition smell.
In Cowley county the .'peoples
Ticket" composed of democrats and
liberal republicans, was elected over
the straight republican ticket.
Gray county elected democratic
officers throughout, with fair maiorities.
Nemaha county is all right. She
goes democratic for all she is worth.
Johnson county elects peoples
