being on the defensive, as a year ago,
we are now on the aggressive. When
business is already good our people
will not long tolerate movements
which disturb it in the face of the con-
ditions I have named, and you will
find the Republicans and Democrats
alike will call halt on the men whose
stock in trade is not fair, square argu-
ment, but juggling Misrepresentation
of the same. Ohio has gone Republi-
can, and l accept the result as indi-
eating that this State stands by the
Republican party with full faith in its
protective principle as embodied in the
tariff law; and, more than this, Ohio
stands, as she always has, in favor Of a
full dollar and sound currency"
ENGLISH OPINION OF M'KINLEY.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-English views Of
the American elections seem almost
confined to the result in Ohio. The
success Of Mckinley is looked upon as
a distinct grievance in the manufac-
turing districts, and especially in Brad
ford and Sheffield, which places have
been disastrously affected by the Nc
kinley act. The defeat of Mckinley
would have been hailed with delight in
Great Britain, and be would have pro-
badly figured in some of the Guy
Fawkes cremations, which are tradi-
tional to-day throughout England. In
the average English opinion, McKin-
ley is an ogre, actuated by relentless
hatred of Great Britain rather than
desire to benefit the United States, and
the Londoners would not be surprised
to find his counterfeit among the
waxen collection Of wicked people that
is famous on both continents.
SOME PRESS COMMENTS.
New York Herald
They argue, and very naturally, that
if Tammany has acquired influence
enough to travel from New York to
Albany and shows determination to
exteld its journey to Washington,
something must be done to check its
great power and patronage. The same
battle cry which has been raised in
this canvass will become the cry Of the
future-"Down with Iammany!" 1t
would be grave calamity, therefore,
to be compelled, next year, to throw
the national issues aside in order to
fight defensive battle with Tammany
as our handicap.
New York Times: New York will be
in the Democratic column next year,
and it will supply the candidate. II
must be very blind politician that
can't see that.
New York Sun: The appearance Of
John I. Davenport yesterdayin his old
role serves to remind the Democrats
of New York of the debt of gratitude
they owe to Arthur Pue German.
Davenport was the real author of the
measure known variously as the Lodge
bill, the Hoar bill, and the force bill.
He planned the extensive scheme of
Federal interference at the polls, which
would have been the law of the land
to-day but for the inestimable service
rendered by the Senator from Mary
land.
Senator Gormal is Democrat and
great Democratic leader.
New York World: The services of
Grover Cleveland to the Democratic
cause in the campaign in this State
was very great.
Putting aside all false notions of the
dignity that is supposed to hedge about
ex-Presidents, he presided and spoke
at great gatherings Of Democrats with
the earnestness Of thoroughgoing
party man. Wherever be appeared he
evoked much enthusiasm, showing the
strong hold which he has upon the
popular confidence.
The ex-President's warm endorse
ment Of Mr.. Flower as a man "who
will administer the great office to which |
he will he called independently, fear
lessly and for the good Of all the peo-
ple' no doubt gave him many votes.
The Atlanta Constitution: The
Democrats are to be congratulated |
on the result of Tuesdays elec-
tions. They have not only increased |
their normal majorities in States that |
are conceded to them, but have held |
their ground in States which they cap
tured last year. They hold Massachu-
sets and Iowa, and this is in the ma
ture of a decided victory. If the Re
publicans had recaptured these States,
the result would have been regarded |
only as the natural reaction from the |
tremendous upheaval oflastyear. That
the Democrats have succeeded in hold
ing them shows that the principles Of
the party have taken strong hold on
the minds Of men who have heretofore
opposed them. This is more than en-
couraging. 1t gives rise to new hopes
OF success in 1862. and ought to
strengthen the Democratic party in al!
that pertains to harmony aud unity.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: The
Democrats have good cause to congrat-
ulate themselves over the result of the
elections, ior it shows that the tidal
wave Of last year has not exhausted it
self, aud that many former Republican
States must be placed in future in the
doubtful list
st. Louis Republic: In its bearing on
national issues the result of yesterdays
election is significant and we'll defined.
