MIR. CIevciand's Triumph.

The one man above all others who has
reason to feel proud and gratifed at the
result of the November elections is that
brave and modest American who formu-
lated for the popular comprehension the
doctrine Of tariff reform, which the
country has at last so enthusiastically &C.
cepted. The verdict OF Tuesday is the
triumph OF President Cleveland's epoch
making message.
He knew well what he was doing
when that message was delivered. lie
knew how it would startle not only the
timorous and time serving politicians
even OF his own party, but the great
mass of the people. whom these same
politicians had so long misled, so kept
in ignorance OF the very rudiments OF
political economy that they could not at
once receive the truth. But he knew
also that the time had come when the
truth must be told and the education of
tho people begun. and at whatever cost
To himself he would not shrink from hls
duty.
HIS party, hesitating for time, came
mn manfully 10 his standard, and a ma
iority of tho whole people voted on his
side. But the power of intrenched
monopoly was still too strong and
ignorance and prejudice could not be
overcome in q single campaign. The
election was lost by fraud and bribery,
and then the monopolists assumed that
they had new lease Of power and that
the day of reckoning would never come.
They did not understand that the people
had been awakened and had learned 10
think for themselves.
The education begun in the presiden-
tial campaign was continued by the de-
bates in Congress. Every newspaper in
the country took up the discussion. 1t
was carried on in the homes, in the
shops, wherever two OF three met to-
Rether. For the first time the true re-
lations OF tariff 10 taxation and the cost
OF living, as well rs 10 commerce and in-
dustry. were perceived and critically ex-
amined. And when the dominant party
| persisted III its despotic course and went
further than ever had been proposed be-
fore in the imposition of taxes on the
masses for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the IA
yored classes, the people arose and struck
it TO the earth.
In less than three years the seed
planted in that famous message has
grown up into a hardy tree that has
spread over the whole land. Mr.. Cleve-
land was as truly tho leader in the stu.
pendous revolution as though lac had
been himself the candidate. lie did not
need to take part in the campaign. He
had already framed the issue and the
people followed him.

special telegram to the Dispa,cn.l

WASHINGTON, ID. O., November H.
Colonel Charles T. O'Ferrall spent tho
day here and left this afternoon tor the
Valley. lie says that Reedism as much,
il not more than the tariff and the force
bills. caused the defeat OF the Repubf-
cans. The people are patriotic and are
opposed to despotism. Colonel OFer-
rail- says that the Democrats will doubt
less fight to the bitter end tho Republi-
can reapportionment scheme at the
coming session Of Congress. The Dun
nell bill is unfair to Virginia, and her
delegation will resort to every possible
means TO prevent the loss Of congress
man as proposed by that partisan mea-
sure.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
Colonel O'Ferrall thinks it is too early
20 discuss the speakership question. IL
will be time enough 10 go into that mat
ter next year. AS to the rules for the
next Congress he thinks the Reed rules
will be repealed outright, but the changes
the other way will not go far enough to
enable one man TO block legislation such
as was the case when Weaver or Ander-
son used to have things all their own
way.
THE TARIFF.
As 10 the tariff in the next Congress-
Colonel O'Ferrall believes that enough
Republican senators will join the Demo
Gratis to greatly reduce the duties on the
pecessaries OF life, and that many such
articles like binding-twine will be placed
on the free list. He also believes that
the next Congress will pass bill pro-
yiding for the free coinage OF silver.
