"sor A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY"
Phiiadciphis Evening Bulletin, Republican.
The election OF Mr.. Pattison
is therefore not Democratic victory it
ia simply the result of discomfort and
dissatisfaction with Senator Quay.
EEEpIsM VOTED DOWN AND OUT.
Phuadelp hia Evening Telegraph, Republican.
The Democratic House means a vote
OF public condemnation on Reedism, the
Federal election bill, and an unfair parti-
san apportionment bill. Ii is an admo-
milton from the country that it is to 10
hoped will be promptly and fully needed.

The result OF the national election
gives q Democratic majority IN the next
House OF Representatives greater than
was anticipated in the most sanguine
bopes during the progress OF the cam
paign. which was marked by remarkable
apathy on the part OF its managers Inc
verdict OF the nation 10 against the
Mckinley bill, and its policy OF
restricted markets, high and partial pro-
lection, and increased prices OF the
necessaries OF life. The victory has been
won against heavy odds and manly 10y
en- appeal to the sound sense aud intelli-
gent Judgment OF the people Oh tne
United States. 1t is one from which the
friends of tariff reform and more
Intelligent and liberal system OF trade
can Justly take confidence that it marks
the beginning Of change IN the ma
tional policy in regard TO trade ana III
dugtry. and the establishment OF the
country in a position for equal coompeh,,

the development of its vast resources OF
ingenuity, labor, and material 10 the
demand OF q worldwide trade. II

timidity. but expand and reach out IL
every direction for share OF the com

| THE REFORM TIDE.
Philadelphia Times, Independent.
There never has been In our political
history popular condemnation OF q po,
litical party so prompt, complete, and
overwhelming rs that which the country
has lust declared against the party now
! in mower. = 1t has been O hot
fght all over the country, and the yer
| Oct is everywhere the same. The party
and its policy are repudiated. The Nc
/ Kiplev bill is condemned. The force
bill. with all it represents, is condemned
The Administration, with its mixture OF
feeble incompetence and blunderlng par
tisanship. is covered with humiliation.
Never was there q rebuke SO PLAIN and
so decisive.
The lesson is made tho more impress
sive by the defeat of the two LEADER
who. next to the Speaker, have been INC
most CONSPICUOUS champions OF the party
policy, while the man who has given hi'
name 10 the most infamous measure o.
the last session hes barely escaped IKE
fate. The old Congress has yet foul
months TO serve, but tho old policy can
not now be pursued, as was intended, tc
the bitter end.
ONLY a TEMPORARY REVERSE.

who keep themselves informed as to the
nolitical situation IN the different States

of legislation and suspending for time
