TIE old saying, "All cry and little
wool" is being exemplif ed by the Demo
cratic shouts Of victory over the late
election in Massachusetts,. 1t is true
that they reelected their Governor, but
where, in the election returns, they find
any justification for claiming Massachu-
sets as Democratic State is hard to dis
cover. The Republicans elected all their
candidates except Governor, by more
than 1000 plurality Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Halle, received L, ,35l more votes
than the Democratic candidate, and the
other Republican candidates received
even larger pluralities. Governor Rus
sells personal popularity carried him
through, but did not avail to save any Of
the other candidates on the ticket with
him. His election was a personal tri-
umph, but the vote Of the State shows
that il is Republican and viii undoubt-
edly cast her vote for the Republican
Presidential candidate next year.

No wiser selection could have been
made than that Of James S. Clarkson, of
Iowa, as Chairman of the Republican
National Committee. Eminently repre-
sentative of the vigorous and progressive
sentiment of the party, he is thoroughly
practical and as thoroughly honorable.
His methods are yirile and above board.
He is incapable of trickery, while a mas
ter of political strategy in the best and
highest sense. The most emphatic trib-
ute to Mr.. Clarkson is the fact that the
enemy dread him. while they respect
him. His selection is an assurance that

EVERY one Of the Democratic candi-
dates for Speaker Of the next House is a
pronounced free trader. Mills is perhaps
the most rabid Of any of them, but Crisp,
McMilIin, Springer and Hatch all belong
10 the same school. The fact is, the
Democratic leaders are all "tarred with
the same stick" and it makes but little
difference, so far as the tariff is con-
cerned, which Of them is elected. Free
trade has berome the one great central
idea Of the Democracy and every petty
leader must swallow it. 1t viii be in the
platform and on the banners Of the party
next year, and therefore it is a logical
sequence that the Speaker Of the next
House must be free trader.

GovERxoR BILL said last week: "New
York is Democratic. We want Demo
cratic Legislature, and we viii have it
unless cowardice and fraud shall prevent
Us" The Governor has been successful.
His canvassing board has succeeded in
stealing the Fifteenth Senatorial District,
after the Republican who was elected
has been removed by death. Instead Of
ordering new election the Democratic
canyassing board trumped up enough
illegal votes to declare the defeated Dem
ocrat elected, and New York will have a
Democratic Legislature as well as a Dem
acratic Governor. Governor Hill and
Tammany are in complete control Of the
Empire State.
