Ing that the Democratic party hat
made mistake in advocating a reform
in7the tariff, and it would better leave
taat issue alode. The Sun was right
Somebody was bound to be educated
and the education seems to have been
a very sound one. The Democratic
press of the country, the Democratic
orators and the McKinleyites have
educated the people, and we have
heard the glorious prelude of the swell
ing strain of 1892. The old political
| lines are obliterated Massachusetts
New Hampshire and Pennsylvania,
centers of protection, rovolt against
the theory and join the Democracy in
asserting that 1.-The tariff is tax"
while the West rises like young giant
to declare that it will no longer submit
| to New England robbery and usury.
| Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska a
and Minnesota are Democratic o-day
and will remain so, while Kansas, Col
orado and the coast states give every
evidence of permanent conversion to
the faith by 1892. The Democratic
states of course asserted themselves,
| and in the great groundswell every
thing is carried by the board. The
shout that Las gone up from the pee
pie is a shout Tor Cleveland, the man
who had the courage to project this
great issue, and party alignments now
reveal the distinction that sagacious
economists have insisted would soon
be drawn between the money power
and plutocracy on one side and the
people and a diffused prosperity on the
other. The Democratic party to-day
is the party Of the people. The Re-
publican party is left high and dry
with it's protected millionaires and its
hungry pensioners. the result of its
policy of paternalism and centraliza-
ton. Every lover of American insti-
tations should lend his voice to the
pasn of joy swelling from the throats
of the people. for these elections have
demonstrated that our intIstutions
cannot be subverted by unscrupulous-
ness and the use of money by those in
power, and that the spirit of the peo-
pie is as pure and patriotic in the Hath
year of our history as in the first.
Missouri has come forward again
with an old-time majority. The man
who said that it was becoming a Re-

is weeping on the banks of the briny
brooklet and is cast down aud sorrow
full. The Democracy of Missouri is
united, harmonious aud powerful as of
yore. The votes given the State ticket
aud the fourteen Democratic Congress
men are eloquent testimonials to this
fact. Al praise to the State commit
tee, the county and city committees
and the Democratic newspapers and
speakers. The city of st. Louis is Dem
ocratic to-day as it has always been.
Kansas City, St. Joseph and the other
large cities are Democratic. A COM
parlson of the vote just cast in those
with that cast in 1883
shows how the Democracy was made
to suffer from colonization and bribery.
In Kansas City there was a normal
vote, and in st. Louis the vote was
what it would have been two years ago
had not a false registration bled the
to cast from Il 900 to 10 900 |
illegal votes. The total registration of
the city of ST. Louis this year is 81, $50 |
as against total of IS, 7S5 in 1888. |
From this it will be seen that 13, ,555 |
more names were on the Recorder of |
Voters books in 1883 than in 1890, |
when the voting population is natural
ly greater. These were placed on the
registration lists by Filley and his cor
rupt horde of workers, with the use of
money received from the Republican
National committee. Gov. Francis aud |
the State ticket had majority of 1000
DR. 5000 of fair, honest votes, and if a
ust registration had been had, Is, 900
negro plantation hands would not have
been permitted to stifle the voice of the
people and elect to congress three Re-
ouollcan pIutocrats aud force advo-
Gates. The Democrats majority in
Missouri is from 5000 to $4,000, and it
will always be recorded when fair cleo
ions are had.
The Australian system is a success.
It blocks the game played by large
corporations two years ago, when thou
lands of employees were marched to the
polls at in in the morning with Re-
olican ballot in their vest pockets,
which bad to be cast under the scrut-
ny of bosses.
The people are up to-day and they
will see to it hereafter that the United I
States shall not be owned by the mil
ionaires of the East. Nj. A. +.
