LONDON, Nov. Accommodating on Tues

Daily Ne,us says:
1t is not easy to draw moral where most
important contests yield Numerically op-
posite results. McKinley's victory is a most
striking event for Europe, but may easily be
exaggerated or misunderstood. He was
probably elected not as a protectionist, but
as a moderate opponent of free silver.

The election of Flower cannot be con-
sidered a counter blast to the result in Ohio,
because it was secured by as corrupt means
as even American political records
can show. All honest people de,

election indicates the Overwhelming power
of the money monopoly and vested interests
in American politics.
The Standard says:
The result will cause waiting policy on
the side of the Republicans, who may hope
next year to take advantage of some Demo-
cratic mistake or some sudden accession OF
popularity on the part of the Government
to reverse the decision now recorded.
The Times thinks:
1t is possible that Democratic victory in
Ohio would not have pleased all sections Of
that party, because it would have fore
shadowed a schism at next years conven-
tion. 1t is doubtful whether McKinley's
achievement is striking enough to vindicate
his policy or to advance his claims to the
Presidential nomination. 1t may be taken
for granted that the result of the elections
will thrust into the background the United
States Governments policy of bullying

Johnnie had been the last great joy left
