General Drift
The republican voters Of New York
state have plainly taken this opportun-
ity to express their opinion, not Of the
candidate Of the party, but its leader
ship. 1t is idle to forget the causes or
overlook the motives which have led
republican voters to abandon a repub-
lican candidate who deserved the sup
port Of every republican. 1t has again
proved easier in New York state to
control the organization of the party
than to command the hearty support Of
it's voters. The moral conveyed by
such an election is serious one. and
it needs to be considered both inside
and outside of New York state.-Phila-
delphia Press.
Mckinley stands as the acknowledged
champion of the tariff tax, and around
his standard rallied the tariff-made
plutocrats in almost every state in the
union. 1t is hardly too much to say
that his defeat would have settled in
advance the presidential question of
1892. This the republican party fully
realized, and the financial sinews of
politics have protected Ohio through
one more stoutly contested election in
that state.-St. Paul Globe.
The republican doctr inc of protection
scored signal victory in the only
state where it was the dominant issue.
Ohio went republican by not less than
fifteen thousand majority. Mckinley
is not only elected, but the state repub-
lican ticket as WELL and the legislature
also. All parts of the state have been
heard from, and the general drift is
pretty much all the same way. The
fight for United States senator will
now be interesting. st. Louis Globe
Democrat
Assailed by democrats in front and
the alliance party in the rear, Maj. Nc
Kinley has met and vanquished them
all, and protection and projections
champion have won a notable victory
in Ohio. That was the really national
contest of the year, and the republic
ans of the country send greetings to
Maj. Mckinley upon his magnificent
campaign n.-Pittsburgh Commercial.
The result in Ohio must in fairness
be construed, even if distasteful to tar
if reformers. as an Endorsement of the
republican position on the two great
questions Of tariff and finance as far as
Ohio is concerned. Whatever of pres
| tige there is in victory where those is
sues are squarely fought, the result in
Ohio gives it emphatically to the repub-
licans. Milwaukee News
In general the set of the tide seems
once more to be favorable to the repub-
licans, and to encourage the belief
that, with another year to show still
further the wholesale effects of the re-
publican policy upon the business in
terests Of the country, republican
president and congress will be elected
in 1892 2-Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Ohio republicans made the issue
squarely upon living political ques-
tions and won notable victory. The
canvass in New York by the democracy
was of the lowest grade of personali-
ties and upon issues that appealed to
the prejudices and wounded vanities of
the multitude. Chicago Inter Ocean.
The lesson is plain. Adhere to a
sound currency. and a protective tariff
and victory, in 1892 is assured Abandon
them. desert the doctrines of the.found-
ers of the party and ALLEVIATE both the
capital and labor of the country, and
defeat is equally as certain Louisville
