ABSOLUTELY PURE

terday must be accepted as final. 1t Is the
duty Of all Democrats t0'get together, andlo
get together at once. The main lesson 10
be learned from Yesterdays contest at the
polls is that there is no room in South
Carolina for two political parties among
the white people; that the regular Demo
cracy is the only Democracy which can
look for the support Of Democratic voters;
and that however high their station or pure
their motives or earnest their labOrs, the
white people Of this state will treat all in
dependents alike.
New York Star.
As reports from the Congressional dis
tricts continue TO come in the grandeur OF
the Democratic victory becomes more and
more apparent. The battaliOns of imperial
ism have been routed at every point. Out
of the 3is districts that have been definitely
heard from POI appear to have been carried
by Democrats, although in few instances
the margin one way or the other is so close
that an official count NAV be needed TO ab-
sOiutely determine the result.
New York Telegram
A Democratic tornado has blown through
the Republican party. The result rather
dazes the Democrats. Its effect on the Re
publlcans is little short of paralyZing.
That the Democrats would elect majority
of the Congressman was conceded by shreWd
Republicans a week before the election, but
the most sanguine Democrat expected Int
more than thirty majority under the most
favorable circumstances.
Commercial Advertiser
The Glad tidings that have been pouring
along the wires throughout the past night
and this morning have the same meaning
everywhere, but the emphasis differs WIN
the locality. The yictors in Pennsylvania
in the West. in New England. are rejoicing
today over the Waterloo that mas over
whelmed their opponents. But IN each 81
these regions the general JOY has, as II We're
\ special flavor of its own. so in the southen
states. the Democrats Of this district or that
district are happy that they are TO be repre-
scented i'm the next Congress by a Democrat
rather than a Republican. There has been
heavy aggregate OF gains throughout thal
region i'm this direction. But one can wei
believe that the Southern people viii al
most forget these local trlumphs-"il
hardly even shout over them--sO intent vii
he their listening 10 the rolling thunder thai
comes down to them from the North.
Hartford Courant.
| The tables and statements elsewhere tel
enough 10 show that this Is rather serious
specimen Of the well-knOwn "Of year. II
politics. A reaction against the party tha
carried the previous Presidential election
was expected, but the business is rathe
overdone. Local and personal considera
tons have had more than their usua
weight. Had it been possible to pass th'
tariff act three months earlier, its beneficial
| influence would have had time to show II
self more fully, and the Democratic yell o
Misrepresentation would have lost its force
1t will yet surely yindicate itself.

| Well. this is glory enough for one election
day. Every good Democrat hopes that th'
