DIR. John l.. DickScy-It is hardly
necessary TO say that the elections all
round rather surprised me. think

speech at Philadelphia last Saturday.

gradually coming to free trade. think
the Mckinley bill went as far in one
direction against the wishes of the peo-

IL is possible that the Mckinley bill
might work advantageously In a
Young country, but in a country
as large and strong as ours Is
to-day measures like the Mckinley
bill are not likely to be favored. Blaine
is the greatest man of his party, and
the late Sam Randall regarded rs the
second greatest man in the country.
And vet ultra partisan rs these two
men were in politics, l believe II
would have been possible, in view oil
Blaine'S reciprocity plan, Tor these TWO
great men to have come together, ana
favored a tariff measure that would
have been satisfactorily received by the
country. The Democratic tariff idea is
really embodied in much OF the Repub-
licsn legislation.
Capt. Il. Il. Dovener-About as the
thing turns out after tariff Stir-up.
Don't care to talk much.
Judge Jacob-It'S a glorious victory
for the Democrats. Harrison county
especially surprised me. | believe the
Democrats of that county were better
organized than ever before, and the
sweeping victory on the whole | at
tribute To Reeds rulings, added TO the
tariff and force bills. The voice oil the
people will be heard louder than ever IN
the coming Presidential election. AS
regards my own individual defeat,
hardly know to what TO attribute it.
am going TO Hancock tonight on other
business and will then know more about
the situation.
'Squhe Arl<le-The Democrats did re-
markably well under the circumstances.
Had 1t not been for local differences III
Washington and Webster districts we
would have had much larger majortieS.
The county as Il whole surprised me.
When people begin TO read up aad
think on these tariff and other economic
questions, they come pretty near voting
right. This was evidenced right down
in Harrison county.
Samuel Brubaker-It was all done
through the Indifference of Republican
voters. The greats. trouble was we

tariff question we'd carry about every
State in the Union. We're gathering in
A good section of the earth for starter
Deputy Clerk John Waton-Simply
astonishing: the wide victory. 1t shows
how the people are thinking, and it GER
tainly looks hopeful for 90.
Prosecuting Attorney John Howard
Am not quite so much surprised at
the result in the State. Rather eX-
pected it from what | had heard in my
travels. But the glorious reaction all
over the country rather took me aback.
The people are awakening TO a realizing
and rghtful sense OF their Importance,
and il means that the masses will rule.
The far-rcaching victory may be attri-
buted To a better dissemination OF the
Democratic gospel. You'll notice that
the towns that were most Hooded
with Democratic literature and speeches
went all right in 1855. We've now been
putting in few solid licks in the coun-
try districts. and they naturally came
up smiling.
Guy K. c. Allen, ESq.-lt was such Il
victory rs was hard to realize at first.
Iattribute the general success of the De
mocracy to better and more thorough
organization. Especially was 1t true In
this State. The Democrats worked
molly.
Col. VIM. Exley-Therc is no doubt
about il. We had the best men we could
put on the State ticket. Both parties
admit this. Ii was not the fault OF the
candidates, it was the party. | have no
heSitancy in saying that the tariff did 1t.
c. w. Brockunier-It seems that the
people are awake. And they'll be more
so in -. Why met a prominent man
from Pennsylvania only 4 few minutes
ago and he told me the people of that
State were long since tired of being
manacled. And it seems by the outlook
that they have shaken of few OF the
Shackles. | attribute our splendid
sweep partly TO the general cenSure and
indignation Incurred by the Migrant
ana notorious use of money in the eiec-
ton of Harrison. and still more to that
tyranouS force bill. OF course Reeds
rulings had the people already well
aroused, but the force bill struck home
with telling effect to the hearts of free
thinkers. It's safe to look for Demo-
cratic cyclone in '9s.
Harry McClure-It's simply painful.
The political outlook has 4 very hyper
chondriacal aspect.
Il. \. Gallgan-We have great reason
to rejoice. 1t was magnificent sweep.
believe the victory was due in large
measure to the tariff.
Robert White. ESq.-The value of the
outcome cannot be told in words. The
workingmen came to the front. There
are three things which | attribute this
almost unparalleled Democratic sweep.
The Republican method of taking the
money out of the treasury and
spending il, the Mckinley bill, and
the Force bill. The Force bill was
a great acting agency. Reeds
rulings also had some effect, but
these parliamentary matters, while they
were tyrannical in their nature, did
not appeal so directly to the people as
the iniquit0us provisions of the Mckin-
ley tariff and force bills. predict an
overwhelming victory in 90.
Julius Pollock was surprised be-
yond measure Had 10 idea that the
people would vote so generally against
such a measure as the Mckinley bill.
