AFTER THE ELECTION.

TIE campaign which preceded
the election Of yesterday was one 0
the most remarkable ever conductec
: in any part Of the Republic. 1t Is
questionable ifsuch a political con
test was ever witnessed anywhere
The contestants were unequally
balanced. While the People had
the undoubted majority, tire election
machinery was in the hands OF the
opposition. This was tremendous
power when coupled with the disro-
sition to dishonesty on the Glib
eral, side. These conditions maoe
the result of Yesterdays proceedings
what might have been anticipated.
The opportunity to commit a THEFT
and the disposition to perEetrsie II
have but one natural result-th,
consummation Of the infamy.
Notwithstanding the nature Of
the weapons held by the opposition,
the People have acted throughout
with courage and devotion MOTH
ing short Of sublime. Iostead OF
those that had been heretofore
deemed half-hearted deserving the |
ranks, they molly 1oeked to their
standard. A people who eau dis
play suth characteristics may be
overcome by the unscrupulousness
Of their enemies, but they never can
be conquered by tyrants and oppres-
soTs.
The Peoples Committee have
worked with assiduity, fidelity and
devotion in defending the rights of
those they represented. They are
deserving Of the highest common
dalton, and they can rest assured
that they have the unqualified
Of the Peoples Party.
The candidates Of the party who
would have been elected in a fair
political fight have the con-
ISOLATION ut least of being the
Of the confidence of one
II the most honest and courageous
on the face of the
globe.
The election is past and we are S
not advised as to whether it is in |
ended to take the contest as a :
Whole into the courts. The COM !
nittee will, as n matter of
act however, take that step |
n relation TO at least two :

IRE course, it will be such as will Il
