HIGH TARIFF MEN BRAG.
ALL LOOK UPON OHIO AS HAVING
INDORsED THEIR POLICY.

Mckinley Says the People Want a
Let-up in the Agitation of the Tarin
Question-The Republican President
and Republican Senate Declared Bull
warks Against Low Tariff.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 5.-A special to
the Times Star from Canton. o., saws:
Maj. Mckinley said to-day, speaking of
the Ohio elections; Il am convinced that
the Judgment Of our citizens does not ap-
prove constant agitation of the tariff issue
in the face of the fact that it can accom-
plish nothing. lt must surely be appar~
ent to all alike that condi-
tions without which effective legislation
is impossible do not exist. The
republican Senate and republican Presi>
dent are bulwarks against which the free
trade forces dash powerless and with DO
immediate prospect of change in these
conditions. The only result of continued
agitation is to disturb business and retard
the enterprises which the new law designs
to encourage. In spite of all the bill is
working itl way, and from being on the
defensive year ago we are now on the
aggressive. When business Is already
good our people will not long toler-
ate movements which disturb it
in the face of the conditions
/ have named. and you viii find that re-
publicans and democrats alike will call a
halt on mon whose stock in trade is not
fair, square argument, but Juggling mis-
representation. Ohio has gone republican
and accept the result as indicating that
this state stands by the Republican party
with full faith in its protective principles
as embodied in the tariff law. and. more
than this, Ohio stands as she always has, in
favor Of full dollar andisound currency"
IN CAMPBELL's OWN COUNTY.
HAMILTON, o., Nov. 5.-The county elec-
tion board this afternoon finished the Off
cinl count of the election returns in this,
Gov. CampbelPs own county, and the fig
ures given out are "a great disappointment
to Gov. Campbell's supporters. The
official count gives him a ma iority
of 1926 against 3.575 two years ago. This
shrinkage was contrary to the best informa-
tion of those supposed to be- Informed, and
was even less than the republicans con-
coded
MKIELEY's PLURALITY.
COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 5.-The latest figures
on Tuesdays election, with nine counties
estimated and a few others unofficial, mace
by the republican state executive committee
place McKinley's plurality at 2o,4S6. The
republicans now claim from 4S to so ma
jOrity on joint ballot in the legislature.
AN ENGLISH VIEW OF 1T.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-The Globe this evening
says of the elections just held in the United
States: "They prove beyond aIdoubt that
there is popular reaction in favor Of the
Mckinley tariff His triumph was the most
striking feature of the elections, but it is
doubtful il it was the most signficant. The
i republican success in other states eau only
mean that the tariff has not been found
to work so badly as at first imagined

will, moreov.r, help to convince the Ameri-
can voter that it n ust somehow be of good
| to himself. We should thus make great
mistake If ve look too confidently for
democratic triumph in 1892 and for the
abandonment Of prohibtive duties.n
The Pal Mall Gdzetts says the result
means that ex-President Cleveland aud
President Harrison will fight it out.
