Ir cannot be disguised that the contest
on Tuesday last was a most disastrous
one for the Republican party throughout
the country. Explanations are plentiful
as berries in August, but still the fact
remains that, compared with 1883, the
Republican reverse is a severe one. Well
informed politicians were prepared for
the loss of the popular branch of Con-
gress, but that the probable Democratic
majority in the next House will exceed
100 is simply astounding. The gerry
Wandering Of Ohio, Kentucky and Mary
land, it was well known, would deprive
us of number of Congressman, but the
slump-caused principally by the Farm
ers AIliance"-in the South and West We
we're unprepared for. In the West, par
ticularly, this new political element has
overturned strong Republican delegations
in States like Kansas, Minnesota and
Nebraska. Beside the loss Of the House,
we will, unfortunately, lose several seats
in the Senate, notably in New York, New
Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin, and
Kansas, if present reports he true. In
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Wis
consin we have lost the Governor. This
much is apparently certain and we are
prepared 10 learn that other disasters
may yet troop upon the heels of these.
Yet, amid this political tempest, the
star of hope glit;ers through the rim in
the clouds. Cyclones expend their force
within a brief period, and those who
have sufere from their ravages build
better for the future. The disasters of
the day do not mean 6 revolution in pO-
litical sentiment. In every instance they
can be traced TO local. causes, local dis
content, local preju iices and local quar-
rels. The country is too fast anchored in
the Republican faith to recklessly try
an unknown sea. The lessons of the late
war are still fresh in the memory of the
people Then, defeat only nerved the
soldiers Of the Union To greater ef1rts,
and then, as now, principles did and will
conquer. Exalt high the Republican
flag rally the broken forces send skulk-
ers to the rear; re-ferm the line, and We
will not only retr eve this repuse. but
win an overwhelming victory in 1892.

WISCONSIN.

The Democrats claim a majority Of $4,000
for Peck, for Governor, and also claim six
out Of the nine Congressmen. Peck's ma.
jority will undoubtedly be reduced consider
ably. The Democrats carry both branches
OF the Legislature.
Whether the State has the right 20 insist
that every child shall have an education in
the English language was the real issue in
Tuesdays election in Wisconsin. The Re
publican party maintained that it has, by
upholding the sO-called Bennett law, a
compulsory education law which guarantees
TO every child in the State an education in
the English language. On the other hand,
the Democratic party maintained that the
State had no such right, and through the
platform of its State convention declared for
the unconditional repeal of the Bennett law
By taking this position the Democrats Sc
cured as allies the Catholics, merely for the
reason, as the Catholic bishops declared in
their manifesto of last spring, that the Ben
nett law was interfering with such of their
schools where the English language is not
taught Thus it became an issue, not where
strict party lines were drawn, but an issue
between State and church. political reIig-
ious warfare which has been unequaled in
the history OF America.

The Next Governor.


Robert Emory Patiison was born at Guam
tico, Somerset county, Nd, December s,
1850. He went to Philadelphia when be
was six years of age. and was educated in
the public schools. After graduation he en-.
tered the law office Of the late Lewis C.
Cassidy, and this had great Influence on
his subsequent career. II was there he de.
veloped his taste for politics.
In 1872 he was admitted to the bar, and
three years later became a candidate for Dis
trict Attorney, but retired in favor of Henry
S. Hagert. He was elected City Controller
in November, 1878, and was re elected.
Through division in the Republican party
be was elected Governor of the State in 1882
On retiring from the office he returned to
the practice of law in Philadelphia. In 1887
he was elected President Of the Chestnut
street National Bank, with which he has
been actively identified ever since. Shortly
after be was appointed Pacific Railroad
Commissioner

WHrIE we have lost the Goyernorship
of this State, through the unfortunate
nomination Of Dir. Deiamster, We have
secured the Lieutenant Governor and
s, cretsry of Internal affairs, with both
Houses OF the legislature, which insures
us United States Senator and the re-jis-
iricting Of the State, the coming winter,
so as to guarantee an honest and fair
representation in both State and Nation
al councils.
In our Judgment, the defeat Of our
candidate for Governor was brought
about more by personal hostility to SEN
ator Quay than by opposition to the can
didate himself True, he was grossly
traduced and misrepresented, but the OPP
portunity was seized TO assert that he
was the mere creature Of Mr.. Quay, and
those who had real or imaginary giiev-
ances against that gentleman, fed fat
their grudge. It was combination Of
Democrats, Mugwumps and sore-heads
that defeated George W. Delamater, but
beaten as he is, we would rather occupy
his position to-day, than that Of the pro
fessed Republicans who voted for Patti
son and attempted 10 turn the State over
to the tender mercies OF the Democracy.
For such, there is future day Of reckon
ing. Men may love the treason, but must
despise the traitor.
