AS VIEWED BY DEMOCRATS.


The National Democratic Committee
Takes a Cheerful View of the Recent
State Elections.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-The democratic
national committee has issued the fol-
lowing address:
To the People Of the United States:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
COMMITTEE, 1ss FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK,
Sept 1.-The democratic national committee
congratula tes the country on the result OF the
recent state elections in Maine, Vermont and
Arkansas. In Arkansas the combined opp0si-
tion. after SO many extravacsnt claims, fell
short over 1900 OF the vote OF the democracy
alone This has brought dismay 10 the COM
bination in the south and its manipulators in
the north
In Maine and Vermont the contest was con
ducted distinctly on national issues. The re-
publican managers appealed for votes in these
states on the ground that the ''siZe OF the plu-
raiities would exert great moral influence on
the campaign IN other states, and that the poll
would he practically our vote for president"
Similar appeals summoned to their aid all the
potent resources Of tho national organization
with its exhaustleSs treasury and its splendid
equipment Of orators of national fame.
With every fayOrins force at their command,
except public opinion. with no organization
opposed save those made up within the states
by minority party which h1s been out Of
power for genera, Ion. and which was unaided
from without, the campaign OF our adYersaries
for triumphant test vote in these states, so
carefully planned, and so thoroughly and fOrci-
blv executed, has ended in a conspicuous dis
aster.
our friends everywhere are entf6led 10 take
fresh courage from these results. They mean
that the strong tendency OF public sentiment IS
with the democracy, and that the people Of the
country are prepared to enforce. rather than
reverse, the verdict which they rendered In
1890. WILLIAM F. HARRITY,
