Minneapolis Tribune: If there is
anything else that the Democracy
would like to have just let them name
it. The whole shop is at their dispo-
sal at the present writing. Let
us now return to thoughtful consid-
Grafton of the Mormon problem, the
home rule question, the Chinese puz-
zle. Ward McAllister's book and the
Stanley scandal. They are soothing
subjects and will not remind us of the
painful experiences of the past few
days. At any rate the Demo
cratic congress can be trusted to make
a big enough fool of itself to insure
the election of a Republican president
two years from now.
st. Paul Dispatch: Those who have
faith in the national policy of the Re
publican party may be the victims of
disheartenment at the outcome of the
election results in several states, and
indeed throughout the entire country.
There is some consolation, however,
to be derived from the recollection that
the situation is not as bad in this state
as it was four years ago. The cleo
tions of 1886 resulted in the return of
the entire Democratic delegation in
congress, excepting Lind and Nelson,
and in the practical defeat of the Re
publican candidate for governor in a
straight contest between him and a.
Democrat. This year the Republican
party have secured the election of Gov.
Merriam and the return of one Repub-
lican to congress.
Pioneer Press: No Democratic can
didate who succeeded in being elected
to his coveted Office should make the
mistake of imagining that his person
atty had anything to do with the case.
1t was the issue of the campaign that
set the pace of the election, and per
sonal merit was nowhere recognized ex-
cept in the scattered cases where Re-
publican officeholders were able, by
strong hold on the respect of both par
ties and spotless record behind them,
to hold their own.
Sauk Centre Herald: It wasn't a
land slide, exactly, because that would
imply that there was some left for it
slide upon-but the facts are that all
went, the whole earth, land, water
everything is now absolutely gone to
democracy. They always wanted the
earth, and they have got it. The
only smile left for Republican to
smile is in contemplation of the uses
that may be made of it. The Alliance
has done every thing for the Demo
Gratis which they claimed for it, and
more too. Let us see what will be it's |
reward.
Rochester Post: The sun never
shone on more beautiful November
day than it did last Tuesday. 1t was
election day and it was expected that
"Old Sol" whould shed his beaming
countenance upon Republican victory
IN Wadpesda Herning, ! I'VE We |
know not what day win bring forth." /"
The thermometer in the Republican |
barracks began to show indications of
a cold wave about eight o'clock in the
evening on Tuesday, and it did seem
as though the mercury would never
stop going down. By twelve o'clock
the atmosphere had become SO cold
that the Republicans were completely
frozen out. The Democrats had
spirit thermometer and Jared better.
AS far as we can learn throughout
the country, the Republicans did not
turn out to the polls as they should,
and the result is that we are coopered.
1t was a mistake to get the Demo
Gratis to running, as no one knows
where they will run to, or when they
will stop. Like some of the soldiers
who got to going in the famous fight
at Bulls Run" they may not stop
running until they get to Washington.
We cannot remember when we have
seen the Democrats so plenty and the
SO scarce, as they were in
this city Wednesday. When it COM
to warm up again the Repub-
icans will come out of the woods and |
may be found at their accustomed |
places.
Montevedio Leader: We suppose
the Democrats feel as though the
Mckinley bill and its supporters had
received merited black eye, and
many who have been led to believe
this theory will look for an immediate
reversing of things and sudden drop
in prices of the commodities which
they have been taught were fast sail
ing away ON the wings of high prices.
We ask these people to watch closely
for the next two years; and read and
reflect; think for yourselves, and
above all, keep your eye on that Nc
Kinley bill.
