WHERE ARE THEY?

There is only Il grease spot left of the
Republican party.
And there wouldn't have been that if
il had not been for the leftover fat they
fried out of the monopolies TWO years
ago.
The moral of the grand Democratic
triumph is that all the people can't be
fooled all the time. The tariff barons
miscalculated on the Ignorance of the
masses and their blind devotion to party
when they passed the MCKINLEY in
fanny in the face of an approaching
election.
1t was Mr.. REEDS boast when in st.
Paul that the Republican party was the
only party in the world that had the
courage 10 do such thing. 1t is safe
to say, in the light of Tuesdays cleo
ton, that the Republican party will
never venture on such fool expert
ment again.
The impresSiveness of Tuesdays vic
tory lies in its universally. 1t was
broad and sweeping, no section of the
country escaping the force of the tidal
wave. New England and Pennsylvania
joined the South and the West in eX-
pressing condemnation of tile Repub-
lican tariff policy. 1t was Il grand up
rising of the honest and unbought
masses of every section in rebellion
against the dynasty of the tariff of rob-
hers. The old excuses for Republican de-
feat of local issues and gerrymandering
do not apply in this instance. They cut
no-figure in Tuesdays vote. All through
the campaign the people listened to
tariff discussion and studied the tax
question with ali earnestnesS and intel
Urgent consideration they had never
heretofore given it. They mastered the
subject in all its details, and then re-
corded popular verdict in opposition
to the Republican policy Of taxing the
many for the benefit of the few.
Ii is encouraging evidence of the per
petuity of American institutions when
the sovereign people assert their power
i'll tue manner they have done OF this
occasion. 1t is the evidence that the
people are not Indifferent to their rights,
nor are they unmindful of the danger
to the republic which comes from cen
tralization of great wealth in the hands
of few individuals.
There is great deal of cheer for pa
tri0tic Americans in these election re-
turns, for men who love their country
more than they love party. And what
inspiration there is for the Democratic
masses in the knowledge that their
party principles have been Endorsed so
overwhelmingly.

THE BUSINESS VIEW

When the political philosophers be-
fore elections become enthusiastic over
the value of the home market to farm
ers, IL is represented that the American
workman eats vastly more wheat than
the fellows over the water. This wculd
be little surprising if true. in view of
the general use of corn in this country
Recent computations, however, put the
per capita consumption of wheat in the
United States, for food and nianufact.
ureS, at AGA bushels. This is exceeded
in England, and more especially in
France, where they arc so out of date as
not to know that corn is one of the best
food articles. The home market is all
right, but 1t is sensible to supplement- if
With all other markets possible. This is
not view that should be taken in reIa-
ton to partisan needs, but as a business
proposition. The American farmer and
the American manufacturer ought to
nave the advantages of the markets of
the world.

HOW III LOOKS

The returns are full enough to show
that the race between WILSON and
MERRIAM is 4 neck and neck one. bat
they are not complete enough to justi-
fya statement as to which is elected.
There will probably not be difference
of 1000 votes between them, and in all
probability it will require an official
count to decide the contest.
The Democrats have elected three
congressman. and there is a strong
probability that the Alliance candidates
are elected in the other two districts.
The Democrats have elected the audi
tor and secretary of state.
The legislature is yetin doubt, with
the chances in favor of all anti-Repn Bill
can opposition consisting of Democrats
and Alliance members.
Without regard to whether WILSON or
MERRIAM shall be counted in, the fact
stands out with the distinctness of a
mountain on plain that the people of
Minnesota arc Overwhelmingly opposed
to the Republican tariff policy. and have
given an uneGuivoeal Endorsement of
Democratic principles. Taking the Pro-
hibition, the Alliance and the Demo
cratic vote combined, there is clear
anti-Republican majority in the state of

fame, is numbered among the slain in
last Tuesdays battle. This is a real
providence. 1t would have disturbed
the harmony of the great Democratic
triumph to have had MCKINLEY re-
elected. 1t vas eminently appropriate
that the author of the infamous robber
tariff law should perish in the ditch of
his own digging. The popular protest
against The iniquity could not have been
complete with MCKINLEY back in cou-
gress. The tariff barons poured money
into MckISLEY's district to accomplish
his election. Millions were spent in be-
half of the man who did so much to ell

chasable, and MCKINLEY is buried

EVERY TICKET SCRATCHED.
1llinoisans Used the Pencil Very
Freely.

CHICAGO. Nov. .. Never in the his
tory of Illinois politics have the
tickets of the respective parties been
scratched TO such an extent as in the
present election. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that to this
alone is due the twenty-four hours de-
lay which has ensued between the clos
ing of the polls and the time reliable
returns were obtainable. Even now
there is a possibility that the official re-
turns may modify radically the appar-
ent results on the state ticket The ele.
ments which have entered into the
present campaign and contributed
to great extent of the scratching are
the Farmers Mutual Benefit associa-
lion, the agitation of the compulsory
school law and the independent Citi-
ZenS' ticket IN Cook county. The results
also show that there has been an i'm
menSe amount of trading OH the local
and state tickets, not only in
Cook county, but throughout the
state where local contests were heated.
The indications tonight point toa much
larger Lutheran or anti-schooi-law vote
than was anticipated by either of the
parties. 1t is doubtless due to MIR.
Raab's expressed opposition to the law
IN its present form, and to Amberg's
acquiescence in its modification.
that these gentlemen, although OF
different political parties, but both OF
German nativity, received the immense
vote which they did in all localities
where these sectarian societies have
agitated the school question. In Chi
cogo alone, Raab appears to run no less
than 5000 ahead of Wilson. his
colleague OH the Democratic ticket.
As the greatest opposition to
the school law was confined to Chicago
and Cook county, this issue. coupled
with the immense f0reign-speaking ele-
nent i'll this city, fully explain Raab's
phenomenal strength for superintend-
cnt of public schools The fact that

Just at this time when the people wanted

Democrats in the house is blessing.

try and to the cause of honest govern

1.-THE GREAT FAILURE.

1t is to be regretted OH some accounts
that Ohio does not have law requiring
committees and candidates to make at
tested statements of the money eX-
pended in elections, with items in de-
tail. 1t would be interesting TO know
approximately. that is within a half
million or SO, the cost to the benefi-
Charles of Mr.. MCkINLEY'S tariff of his
attempted election over natural Dem
ocratic majority of near 1900. 1t would
probably disclose the painful fact that
there are few Democratic voters that
can be bought: but il would be found in
mitigation that they are not of the So
and ''blockS of FIVE" sort of cattle. If
they did not become generous partici-
pants i'll the prosperity protection is de-
signed to give those who secure it, they
fooled away their opportunity. No
tariff of rates is given, but the
$4,000 packages fiecked in that direc-
ton for weeks. II is quite prob
able that Mr. mckinley did not
personally have any directing agency
In the matter, but the protected manu-
facturerS could net afford 10 have their

from the use of money vastly i'll excess
of all legitimate possibilities, there
were local circumstances favoring Mr..

kINLEY on the theory that lie was a big
man, or people thought he was, which
does as well. There were some wool

that the tariff OIL wool would
in some way be OF advantage
to them. There were also DEM
Ocrats who voted for the high tariff
maker on the theory that it was sagacious

party to hold his timid fellows up to the
defense of that odious structure in the
great contest of 1892. The Impression,

quently in other states. Anything that
savors of the gerrymander meets
growing sensitHeness in the public
mind. 1t is wholesome tendency that
puts fairness before party advantages.
In view of the appointments soon to
be made IN all the states, it is well to
have conservative feeling possess the
public mind Oil this subject.
1t may be added that MCKINLEY was
not elected. He lacked few hundred
votes.
