The morning Of election day finds both
aides protesting confidence. Predictions are
abundant but they are so much affected by
the wishes Of the people who make them that
they are practically worthless. In most of
the States the campaign has been carried on
with great spirit by both parties, and the is
sues have been ably and persistently pre-
sented. The rule is that an administration
encounters hostile majority in the House
Of Representatives In the middle of its term,
and TOR many years there have been very
few exceptions to it. If the rule holds good
this year of course the Democrats will elect
a majority of the new House. But while the
Republicans do not shut their eyes to the fact
that the precedents are against them, and
that they are very much handicapped in the
contest by Democratic gerrymanders and
Democratic ability to manipulate the votes
In many districts as they please, they are by
no means without hope of retaining control
Of the House. Their large majorities in the
States which have already held elections,
coupled with the enthusiasm that has been
manifested by Republicans all over the
country during the campaign have inspired
them with hope of being able to over
come the obstacles that Democratic fraud
and trickery have thrown in their way. Were
free ballot and fair count assured all over
the country their confidence would amount
conviction. How far the miscounting and
buiIdozing will go is the element of uncer-
tsinty which makes the result. of the election
doubtful. A Republican victory under the
circumstances will be one of the most nota-
Bile triumphs party ever won, while
defeat will have little significance.

small caravan Of wares, if the people gener-
ally availed themselves of the privilege of
paying In kind In spite of this cumber-
some method of assessment, 1t is probable
that taxation was more just in those days
tnan now. There were few stocks and
bonds In those days, and the "tax dodgers
did not flourish. The property of men was
nearly ali visible, and each man lore his
share more nearly according to his abilities
than now.

Inc municipal elections in England and
wales only tend to emphasize what the bye
elections for members OF Parliament have
been showing. namely, that If general cleo
tion were held now the Gladstonians would
carry the country by large majority. That
being the case. the Tories are likely to hold
on to the present House of Commons and
not suffer dissolution before the limit is
reached. in the hope that before two years
have passed something may turn up to give
them better standing with the electors.

Probably New York city has never been
more thoroughly aroused over municipal
contest than now. Men who seldom pay
much attention to such contests are now
earnestly working to accomplish the over
throw Of Tammany and put into the mayors
chair the reform candidate. Tammany's
principal orator, Burke Cochran, recently
threw down the gauntlet by declaring in a
public speech that the tissue Is whether the
government of this municipality shall be
given over to the narrow-chested, narrow
minded, long-eared. long-haired nincom-
poops who sit In our churches" and the re-
suit is that the respectable people of New
York are aroused as they never were before.
Most Of the New York clergymen preached
on Sunday on the government Of the me-
tropolis a. the duty Of good citizens In coz
nection herewith. Tammany is very much
frightened at the situation, and its oppo-
nents correspondingly elated Conservative
estimates give majority Of 10000 or 10000
for the 1ammany opposition, but Of course
there Is an element Of uncertainty which will
not be resolved until the vote Is counted.

The outlook in Major McKinley's district
seems to be the subject of much diversity of
opinion. The Democrats are claiming that
his opponent will be elected. but they do
not place the majority higher than 300,
though the counties that compose the dis
trict bad Democratic majority at the last
election Of some 27O0. II Mckinley did no
more than cut down the Democratic ma
iority to 800 1t would be splendid tribute TO
his popularity and power. But his friends
are hoping that he will not only do that.
but will sweep it away entirely. This seems
almost too much TO expect If it should
be accomplished 1t would be one of the most
remarkable political triumphs 10 our history.

Charges of fraud are made In connection
with the recent election In Brazil. 1t is ssid
that the government officials who had COM
plete cont oil of the count performed very
much as our Southern election officials do In
districts where the negroes are in the ma
1ority-that is to say, threw out the ballots
Of the opposition and magnifed the ballots
thrown in support Of the government. This
charge is not absolutely proved, and proba-
bly, never can be. even If 1t be true, for the
government has 1t in its power to stifle in
vestigatiop, but there is an air of probability
about 1t, for the government of Brazil is es-
sentially an oligarchy, with as much power
to compel the adhesion Of the masses as ever
Dom Pedro's had. That it was ready to ex-
ercise this power in the recent elections, If
occasion should require, nobody can doubt
That It was exercised the smallness of the
vote reported against the government in sec
tions where there was known to eAist
strong sentiment against the change that
had been brought about, affords strcng
ground for suspicion.
