THE RESULT.


Yesterday was Democracy's day
throughout the country. and Tom
Reed and his congress with its record
of unjust legislation, have received
death blow from an outraged people.
The next House will be Democratic
by safe majority, and the country
sayed from any more vicious enact
ments in favor of the wealthy few at
the expense of the laborers and pro-
ducers.
In Ohio, while the Republicans have
elected their State ticket, owing to the
efforts of the Cincinnati boodlers, they
have been ingloriously routed in sup
posed strongholds of protection, and
will send a minority representation to
Congress. Tom. Johnson defeated
plurality of 8, 500; Mckinley is prob
ably defeated in the 10th, although
both parties are on the ragged edge.
A message of inquiry to Mr.. Warwick
from Democrats here. received a
prompt reply from him that his major
ity would be 500 A similar dispatch
was sent to Mr.. Mckinley by Repub-
licans, and thus far there has been no
reply. The Democrats have elected II
certainly, and probably Is of the 81
Congressman.
The Republicans lost heavily in the
Eastern States. In Massachusetts the
Democrats elected their Governor and
State ticket and made gain of two
Congressman. The Mckinley tariff
was the chief issue in the old Bay
State, and it was great rebuke to the
unjust measure. In New York there
is gain of five Congressman, the en-.
tire Tammany ticket elected in the
city, and Democratic majority in the
State Assembly and possibly in the
Senate. New Jersey is Democratic
and shows gain of two Congressman
In Pennsylvania, Pattison is elected
Governor, defeating Quay's man, Del
amater. In Wisconsin the Democrats
gain Congressman. New Hamp
shire elects Democratic Governor
and makes congressional gains for thu
Democrats. The result in Connection
is not yet determined. The Democrat
have broken the Republican Congress
sional delegation in Kansas, and will
send several Representatives to Wash
ington. Nebraska has undoubtedly
elected a Democratic Governor, ant
Michigan reports heavy Democratic
gains. The regular Democratic nom
inee for Governor was elected in Souti
Carolina, as well as the entire Stat
ticket, by heavy majorities.
Virginia and West Virginia are boil
solidly Democratic.
Indiana swings into the Democrati
column.
Illinois is in doubt, as is also Mon
tana, although the latter is, probabl.
Democratic.
In Minnesota the result is uncertain
but the chances are in favor of tn
Democrats.
The election throughout the Soutl
resulted in greater victory than eve
for the Democrats.
In short, it was Democratic tids
wave that swept out of existence tn
hopes and plans of the Republica
party for the future, and restores tn
House to the great party of the people
Its good results will be experience
and appreciated by the country s
large, and demonstrates again the ur
fitness of the g. o. p. to be entruste
with the affairs of the Nations 10,
eminent.
In Portage county the Republican
secured about their usual majority
with the exception of the vote fl
Sheriff and Commissioner. Mr.. Ho
den made splendid run, and could b
have had another week in which
have worked, would succeed Mr.. Jon,
at the expiration of bis present teri
of office as Sheriff of Portage count,
Tt simply shows what can be accon
plished by naming good men for offit
and Mr.. Holden, should he again col
sent to run, would undoubtedly
elected. AS it is, he was defeated /
less than 100 plurality and may we
be proud of his endorsement by tt
people. Our candidate for Commi
sioner also made handsome gain
demonstrating his popularity.
