STILL FULL OF FIGHT.
Mckinley Thinks He did is Well As he
Had any Right to Expect.
The Issue In 90 VIII be the Tariff. lie Says,
and the People Will Then Under
stand IL Better.
VI 'KINLEY TALKS.

gressm an Mckinley arrived in the city
this evening. Speaking to reporter
about the recent election he said. am
well satisfied with the result in my own
district. l gained 2U00 votes during Il
campaign which lasted but three weeks.
That YVES even mere than | had any
right TO expect. It is consequently very
gratifying TO me.
''Whnt do you think of the result n
the state?' was asked.
1.-THE Republican victory on the state
ticket was splendid. The unfairuess OF
the gerrymauder was manifested most
clearly nv the recent election. The Re
publicans carried the state by a popular
majority of over y 600, while the Demo
Gratis secured two-thirds of the represen-
tatives in congress and the Republicans
oue-third. This shows the effects o. the
gerrymander very clearly. -
"Has the cause of protection suffered
any by the recen, Democratic victory
throughout the country?''
'ProtectIon is stronger to-day than it
ever was. and 1t VIII continue to grow in
favor. The tariff bill which was made
the issue during the campaign WIS bat
three and one-half weeks old when the
election occurred, and many of its pro-
visions have not yet gone into effect.
The bill was misunderstood ana shame
fully m;srepresented. The latter was
done by the importers, many of whom
are not citizens of the United States aud
are free traders
'What will be the future OF the bill?''
81 am sure that il will win In the end.
All great measures have met with tenn
porary defeat. The emancipation OF
slaves and the passage of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the cOnsti-
tuition may be pointed to as examples.
The same issue will come to the front In
1892, and it will then be better under
stood. Our defeat this year Is not greater
than it was in 1882, two years after Gar
field was elected. The Republicans have
not had Il majority in the house OF repre-
sentatives but twice since 1877. In This
congress we have twenty-slx members
rom the South, while in the next there
will be but two or three. We have little
to fear in the future if we have free
ballot and fair count
