,He iesuiIs OF yesterday. nv gratlnca-
tion Is that Of an American proud of his
ieiiow-countrymen, who, though led
away for time by party preiudices and
oy blind confidence in cunning and
selnsh leaders. could not be deluded to
'heir ruin. They have demonstrated
tnat IN dealing with them it is not safe
10 calculate that they are stupid or
needless of the welfare OF their country.
Inc necessity of tariff reform with its
consequent reduction in the cost of liv-
ing and the duty of the Democratic
party TO advocate it has been fully
demonstrated by the action of the peo-
pie yesterday. Their decision has been
deliberately made, and it is all the more
significant because they have voted upon
their reason and Judgment. and because
they have proved that corruption Is
poweriess as against their convictions.
or course there is nothing for the Demo-
cratic party to do but
PUSH ON THE BATTLE
al all times and IN all places on the lines
which they have laid down-thst is to
insist upon the wise adjustment of tariff
taxation TO the reasonable needs of the
government as opposed 10 plan which
euriches favored class at the expense
tory Is won the question of tariff reform
Will not be settled nor the pledges or
professions of the Democratic party to
the people redeemed. Our party has
made an honest and earnest fight. 1t
mas planted itself upon the disinterested
and unselfish devotion 10 the interests of
the people. 1t is in absolute unity and
harmony upon the question of tariff re-
"a n
true Democracy and its enthusiasm in
cause which involves the popular welfare
everywhere. Our people have done
magnificently, and the harvest they have
gathered has been nobly ear ed. -
Nebraska elects Boyd d. governor
by small plurality, and sends Demo-
cratic delegation TO the house of repre-
sentatIyes. Democrats claim two con-
gressmen and possibly three.
Returns from Missouri are very mea-
ger, and therefore the result on that
ticket cannot be given. The latest in
formation from the city and interior dis
tricts indicates Missouri will send solid
Democratic delegation to congress,
clean gain of four members.
Maryland also returns solid Demo-
cratic delegation to congress, gam of
three.
West Virginia elects solid Democratic
congressional delegation, o gain OF two.
The New York delegation stands
Democrats twenty, Republican FOUR
teen. gain OF five. Late returns show
that the Democrats have elected sixty
seven ascend iymen in New York and the
Republicans fifty mine. Two districts
are still somewhat in doubt, Governor
Hill, however, claims the Democrats
elect siXty-eight and the Republicans
sixty, and this will give the Democrats
majority of two on a joint ballot, thus
assuring the election of Democrat sue
cessor to Senator Evarts.
A number of congressional districts are
in doubt, two in California, several in
Iowa, two in Kentucky, etc. 1t seems
safe TO say, however, that the Demo-
cratic majority in the next house will not
be less than so, and it looks as If it will
be close TO 100.
THE WAY THE Republican, SIZE IT UP.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Everybody is
talking about the wonderful landslide.
Republicans are making the most of
their defeat by claiming that it will re-
suit in a benefit 70 the party in 1872.
Secretaries Noble and Blaine express
great surprise at the result, and say they
cannot account for 1t, except that it is
due to q Misunderstanding of the MoEin-
ley bill. They say that the party will be
stronger two years hence by this defeat
than if they had carried the next house.
Some of the Republicans around head
quarters now assert that the party did
not make half an effort to win; that the
NEXT hOuse would have been q source of
weakness, and that it would have meant
victory for the Democrats in the presi-
dental contest.
1t is all very well for them to take this
view OF the case, but the fact remains
that they put as much money in the
campaign as they did 10 the campaign OF
'SS. The victory is rebuke TO the ad-
ard the Mckinley bill, and
not few Republicans will admit the
fact, now that it is settled, that the
next house is Democratic.
The speakerseip fight looms up OF the
horizon already. Friends of MessTs.
Crisp. Mills, Springer, Hatch and other
uspirants, are preparing 'booms' and
in day or two they will let 'em loose.
Reed will be about the only prominent
left in the next house. His
admirers are gong to take advantage of
this to press him hard against Harrison
III 1892.
