1T Is M'KINJEy.

1t is Gov Mckinley The vote cast in
Ohio yesterday was one of the heaviest
ever polled in the history of the state.
Gov. Campbell fought the campaign
fight with the energy Of despair. Long
before its close he anticipated the sure
defeat that awaited him and made it the
more certain by overlapping the bounds
even of political courtesy, and raving
like mailman at the audience that
dared to cheer the name of the man who
was opposing him.
1t is Gov. Mckinley. His victory was
the one thing that stood out bright and
strong in the doubt and fog of yester-
day. Early in the day the Cincinnati
Enquirer conceded it, and the State
Democratic committee had admitted
their despair of their candidate before
nightfall
1t is Gov. Mckinley. For year and
more he has been the best abused man
in the country. Everything that has
gone wrong from Maine to California
and from the Great Lakes to Florida's
reefs has been laid at his door. From
the heat of the sun which made strong
man faint to the slipperiness of the ice
on which child tumbled, all has been
the fault of the Mckinley tariff.
Has there been a business failure?
Mckinley caused it, though the
mama nf tha art;o1a ,nappfact, xyao
not mentioned in the tariff bill. Has
there been a strike or decrease of
Of wages? Mckinley and he only
was at fault of course, though the
industry in question was not and could
not have been in anywise affected by the
tariff changes. Has new industry been
established or have the results of wise
and judicious legislation made them
seles Enthusiastically manifest CONNER
cially and industrially? Democratic
eyes have been shut to the plainest facts
and Democratic ears have refused to
hear any good of Mckinley.
Yet, it is Gov. Mckinley. The great
State of Ohio knows her great men and
honors them. She has bided her time
patiently till the harvest of misrepresen-
tation was ripe, and in the Indian sum-
mer she has put in the sickle. Ohio has
set the seal of her approval upon the
efforts and the achievements of an hon
est, an able, a conservative and far
seeing statesman. She has honored her
self in honoring him who is now Gov
ernor-elect Mckinley.

THE PULSE OF THE PRESS.

To the philosophical social student it is
a close question whether the thorough
purging of the ballot or the trotting of a
mile in minutes, is the most important
possibility now before the public.-Balti-
more American.
The London Times exhibits a most un-
friendly disposition toward the United
States concerning the Chilean complica-
tion. There is nothing. new about this
display of ugly spirit to those who remem-
ber the course of British Tories during the
war for the Union.-New York Recorder.
"The New York sun says that Eng
land has fifty gunboats of draught light
enough to enter the great lakes, while To
meet them we have solitary old tub
carrying four guns. The san forgets that
we have colonels enough on the west shore
of Lake Michigan to scare the whole Eng
lish navy to death.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
There is nothing more remarkable in
the modern developments of Democratic
politics than that of the British Toryism
of the party that clings to the name of
Democracy. a Democrat nowadays seems
TO forget that Thomas Jefferson loved the
French and Andrew Jackson hated the
British.-Murat Halstead.
This action (of the French Senate, re-
moving the prohibition against American
pork will be a signal triumph for the di-
plomacy of Whitelaw Reid, the United
States Minister. He has been unweary-
ing i'm his efforts to convince the French
Government and Chambers of the inius-
tice to Americon producers and home con
sumers caused by shutting out "A whole
some food product.-Utica Herald.

1892.

One dangerous game our hand has won to-day |;
Another, gallants, yet remains to play.
The election of Mckinley as Governor
of Ohio is the first gun of the campaign
of 1892. That campaign has now be-
gun.
Republicans everywhere should bear
in mind what is coming next year. 1t
will be one of the most momentous Presi
dent campaigns ever undertaken in this
country. 1t will decide whether the
principle of protection or free trade is
TO rule in our national economy. 1t
will decide whether low wages or high
wages are 10 be paid TO workmen in this
country, whether we are to be reduced
TO the semi-starvation level of Germany
and the British "black country" or to
maintain our present high standard of
comfort and prosperity.
1t is an important issue. 1t must be
settled right. To that end Republicans
who believe in the principles of their
party should work increasingly, prose-
lytizing, naturalizing, registering, heal
ing old sores, smoothing away difficult
ties. There must be forgiving and for
getting. There must be shoulder to
shoulder work for the common good.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, should be
permitted to stand in the way of Repub-
lican success in 1892.

Massachusetts, is still something of an
enigma. The result is so close that the
official count will certainly be necessary
TO decide the matter. 1t seems at this
writing probable that the late returns
from Western Massachusetts will elect
Allen. In any case Russell's plurality
could not be over a few hundreds. Last
year he got nearly ten thousand.
What triumphant vindication for
the peerless young governor" What
victory for tariff reform! What a
personal triumph for Grover Cleveland!

WHAT MILLS SAID AT MELROSE,

IL stand for free raw material from
top TO bottom, and am but one of the
great army Of Democracy. That is the
cardinal principle of our faith. But
my friend, ex-Speaker Reed, spoke
here in Massachusetts the other day,
and he says, in favor Of taxing all raw
material, that y0u cannot claim pro-
lection upon manufactured goods
without you accord the same thing TO
the raw material. Well, as far rs pro-
lection is concerned, L agree with him,
j DON'T WANT TO PROTECT ANY.
BODY OR ANYTHING AGAINST COM
PETITION. l want to give you free
raw material from top to bottom, and
then want TO tax for revenue the fin
ished product as il goes into ultimate
consumption."-Reported by the New
York Evening Post.

AS L WAS SAYING.

happened TO be in shop last evening
before any returns of the election had be-
gun TO come in, and 1t was very amusing
to watch the frantic efforts of the pro
prietors TO bulletin the results OF the
election. Appeared on the scene a boy
with long roll of paper:
Here, Mickey" said the proprietor,
''run over to the News office, and then
run down to the Telegram and then up to
the Bulletin"
Mickey ran, and presently returned
with the information that the News s,.id
the democratic committee in Ohio con-
ceded Mckinley's election.
How dye spell ity" said the clerk.
NE and big X. said the boy.
"All right, resumed the other; "now
of that stuff they mark with"
Micky presently returned to announce
that the Telegram had only half cupful
on hand.
"Well, it, go and get that" said
the proprietor, but unexpected difficulties
must have upset the program, for when
passed the place little later paper was
pasted in the window announcing Nc
kinley's election, but written in lead
pencil and illegible TWO feet away. The
art of writing bulletins is fine art nova
days, and amateurs essay it with queer
results.

over the splendid "story" of election, 'it's
the only real newspaper in the city now"
And there was not one dissentient voice.
Some time ago the Providence Dispatch
wrote a review of a new play in which it
said that one of the characters, blind
man, who was about 10 be elected from
his property, went over the premises to
take farewell look of the old mill" The
WoonsocKet Reporter of Monday prints
the companion of that bull when, in
speaking of surprise visit made in that
city by a company of deaf mutes, says
that the host and hostess being made re-
cipients of certain articles of silverware,
hardly knew how to find words TO ex-
press themselves"
An east-side housekeeper asked the new
market boy what the price was for spare
ribs, the conventional name of side of
pork, Twelve cents,' said the boy,
bring me one" was the order. That af-
ternoon when it was time TO get this late
dinner ready, the housekeeper went to the
kitchen to look for the meat. A little
package lay on the table, which, when
opened, was found to contain one diminu-
tive pork chop, with bill for three cents.
The new boy had taken the order in its
literal sense.

The election in New York is, in its
result, a disagreeable surprise. Fassett
did well in the cities, but in the Repub-
lican strongholds the Republican vote
fell off.
Perhaps this can be attributed in some
part TO the effects of the old faction feuds,
of silly talk about Mr.. Platt, but theie G
is another reason indicated by the census
returns. The population in many of the
Republican counties is decreasing; in
other counties where an increase
is shown it is all in the villages, and the
farms are more sparsely inhabited.
The Republicans of New York must
do missionary work in the big cities if
they would win hereafter.

midnight or later.

IN PAWTUCKET.

The election in Pawtucket has de-
veloped these interesting facts:
Sherman polled a much larger vote
than was anticipated. Many must have
voted for him who were ashamed TO hint
beforehand that they were going to do
SO.
The presence of third candidate had
the precise effect anticipated of necessi-
tating a second election, at great ex-
pense TO the city
The Republicans were able 10 elect a
majority of the city council and of the
school committee. If Carroll should he
elected on the second election, deadlocks
would certainly ensue. If White should
ba chosen, the whole farce of running a
third candidate would be exposed in all
its usclcssness.
