THENEWS'" TURN NOW

lhENtWS lUKN NUW
The caucuses last evening resulted just
as the friends of good order In the Demo
cratic party had hoped would be the case,
for the meetings were for the most pact
quiet and Observation-Disclosures.

Mr.. Jones of Binghamton is remarkably
lnconspicuous these days, and yet he may
be Governor of New York before Mr..
Flower is.-Journal
He's Governor de j,re now, but that
able statesman and straddler, ID. Ben
nett Hill, Is amiably keeping him out OF
his rights. Jones is long suffering man.
IL looks now as though the President
means to try and correct some of the blum
ders he and his lieutenant, Platt, have
made in New York. 1t is reported this
morning that he has offered Frank His
cock the war portfolio and that j. Sloat
Fassett wih be made United States Sena-
tor IN Hiscocks place. This fine scheme
will be appreciated by Fassett, but it will
not make friends for the President.-Tele-
gram.
Why not? Hiscock is a good man and
so is Fassett. The President must fill
the war vacancy somehow.
II takes but little to make or mar the
financial reputation of nation. Since
election day the demand for American Sc
curities has noticeably increased abroad
and solely, 1t would seem, in consequence
of the defeat of the Democrats in Ohio
on free coinage platform and their vic
tory in New York and Massachusetts, on
sound money platform.-Bulletin.
And why not. For once the English
at ls.IH ....L<
York and Massachusetts, Democrats had
adopted free silver platform, that
would have been the last of them.
"Good reading, "says the For Lake Ko-
ddk,, "is the chief source of agreeable con-
versation." Yes, but it will be admitted
that Republicans haven't been able to find
much cheerful reading since Tuesday
night.-Brooklyn Times.
For shame! We had thought Brock
lyn Republicanism made of sterner stuff.
The storm is about over.
The Democrats take more out of this
weeks elections than the Republicans.
The presidency, however, is still a battle
to be fought. Ohio is definitely removed
from Democratic calculations. There will
be no rainbow chasing out there.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.
That's how an intelligent Democratic
paper 'crows" over the election.
The Republicans can nominate an ADLER
man next year, but they can't work any
harder TO elect him.-Worcester Post.
Statement first possibly true, state
ment second absolutely false. Won't the
Republicans work harder Presidential
year? Just try them.
Will Mr. Allen please answer the ques-
tions that Gov. Russell propounded dur
ing the campaign? Our curiosity is
aroused to know just how he stands in re-
gard to them. Replies can be made now
in safety.-Fall River Herald.
Seems to me that's most remarkable
request to make. Allen is certainly JUS
titled in keeping his own counsel now.
1t is probable that the next Democratic
National Convention will drop its free
coinage of silver plank. Ohio has sealed
the fate of the silver kings.-Wo Woonsocket
Reporter.
Our brainy little contemporary gives
the Democrats credit for good deal
more sense than they probably possess.
As Gov. Russell is precedent breaker
there is no need TO fear his being shelved
by the vice-presidency. - New Bedford
Journal.
OF course there isn't. Not the slight
est need to fear it-or To hope it.
The Tribune gives, this evening, the
latest news from the several elections.
Not because it cared particularly which
wing of the rum army was victorious, but
because its aim is to keep its readers in
formed of events as they transpire.-West-
erly Tribune.
But if the rum party includes the Dem
ocratic and Republican as its two wings,
the no rum party seems to be in mi
nority. Perhaps the Tribune is mis-
taken in its premises.
