4 Remarkable Triumph.

Perhaps the most remarkable
personal triumph achieved at the
recent election was that OF the
young democratic Governor Of
Massachusetts,, Hon. w. e. Russell.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Harrison
carried the State by a plurality of
about $1,000 in vote so, 900 great
er than was ever cast in Masssa chu.
sets, Governor Russell IL ro-elect-
ed by plurality Of about 1000
over his republican opponent, Lieu
tenant-Governor Halle, who ia O
popular man and one Of the largest
manufacturers in the State. 1t is
known that Governor Russell did
not want to be candidate again
and only consented to run with the
hope Of strengthening tho nstional
ticket. He is already talked Of as
the New England representative in
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, and GER
tainly more able and popular man
could not be chosen from that Sec
ton.

New York's supremacy Ended.

The record Of New York in the
recent campaign is q glorious one,
but the very success of the Demo-
cratic party has resulted in shat
tering the political supremacy the
State has SO long enjoyed, for it
has shown Nsw York to be no long
er either doubtful or a pivotal
State.
Tammany's matchless organize
ton in the metropolis and Brook
Ign and the decay OF Republican
strength In the rural districts have
been the notable features of the
campaign in the Empire State.
In four years the strength Of the
Democracy has grown and that Of
the Republican party has declined
till Harrison plurality Of $4,000
votes has been followed by q Cleve-
land plurality OF nearly 0,0eo.
Both the Senator'S. q majority Of
the Congressman, the Gov rnor,
Legislature and State officials will
oil hereafter be Democratic, as we'll
as the electors chosen last Tuesday.
In other words, New York IS, in
effect, az solidly Democratic az
Texas.
+. Moreover, the revolution in the
Western States insn~es Democratic
control OF the Federal administra-
ton irrespective OF New York's
support. Even il the doubtful
States Of Ohio and California shall
be declared Republican, and all the
electors chosen on the Weaver
Field ticket shall cast their ballots
for Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Cleveland's
majority will still be so great that
New York's electoral vote might
be given to the opposition party
without endangering his election.
The Westward tide of popula-
ton and industry has. shifted the
centre o. industrial activity from
the Atlantic Seaboard to the Mis-
sissippi Valley. Last Tuesdays
elections show the political centre
OF the country to have followed the
same course. With Illinois and
Wisconsin in the Democratic col
umn, New York, If necessary,
might be abandoned to the enemy
without disastrous results.
Tho supremacy of the Empire
State is broken. and it is now evil
dent that Mr.. Cleveland support
ers in the Chicago Convention
showed discernment, not obstinacY,
when they selected him to head
their ticket in spite of the solemn
protest of the delegation from his
own State. New York no longer
controls tho Presidential nomina-
tions Of the Democracy. Inde-
pendence was declared at Chicago
In june. and was won last Tues
day at the polls. Baltimore News

Not fer Sale.

A most significant and satisfac-
tory lesson taught by the election
is that the American people cannot
be bought. Millions of dollars
have been spent in vain in tho ef-
fort to bride and corrupt them.
The triumph of corruption at the
polls would have presented more
reason for alarm than the passage
of force bill, for liberty can re-
cover from blow from without,
but never from rottenness within.
In spite Of the millions poured out
by the plutecrats and monopolists
the people voted pure and honest
ballot. The election demonstrates
that the country is still sound and
healthy at the core, and this is its
greatest and grandest moral, for
while popular virtue remains nm
assailable the republic can take no
permanent harm. -Bal'o. Sun.

The results of the recent cleo
ton IN the United States have sur
prised the most astute politicians.
1t is not strange that the defeated
party should credit the overthrow
to a reaction in public opinion"
on the policy Of the Government.
The people Lave pronounced in
no uncertain terms against e'pro-
tection," and the part Of wisdom
would seem to be, that the party
row entrusted with the whole re-
sponsibility of government for the
first time siuce Buchanan, should
proceed with wise deliberation and
statesmanliks prudence, to relieve
the people from the heavy burdens
under which they have labored since
the war.
The Alliance and Numerous 9TH
err labor organizations haYe come
nobly to the aid of the party in Sc
curing this verdict against the
former methods in politics and
government. They deserve well at
the hands of the victors, and the
obligation will DO wisely recognize
ed and discharged; but let them
not be in too great a hurry to de-
mand this recognition. Let US all
bide our time. The fratornal or
ders have rebuked,a las was expected,
the wild presumption Of their self
constituted leaders for the unpa-
triotic effort to lead them into in
dependent action and utter politi-
cal defeat and ruin. All can now
afford to be magnauimous. Let
us go forward in a spirit Of concil.
iation to possess the wonderful OPP
portunities now offered rather than
stop TO punish enemies or exult
over their humiliating defeat. We
will thus regain our brethren, and
disarm our opponents, and preserve
a clearer and more generous record
| for ourselves. Patience is tho
motto now. Let us possess oui
souls in patience till there is time
to rejoice over q greater victory
than the present, viz, the triumph
Of the principles for which we have
so long oontended, when they have
been enacted into law and made
the policy Of the nation. This
great work cannot be done in a day
nor in q year. We must DO willing
TO wait Tor the harvest till it can
ripeu for as and our children.

The first chief cause Of bashfuiness
consists in mans attention being di-
rected to himself. The man who is
quite at ease in his bashfulness
is most often am attribute Of the male
sex-becomes self conscious in the draw
ing room and very shy. Although ca
pable of joining in the conversation, his
witty remark is forestalled because he
is too slow in giving utterance TO it or
too timid TO hear his own voice. The
ordinary action of his brain is inhibited
by his self consciousness. The second
cause is emotion The extreme BASH
fuluess of many men when they are in
love is proyerbial, and the surprisingly
few married men who suffer from BASH
fulness is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usually in
sufficient TO produce bashiulness, but
there must be some further necessary
condition. Many conditions predispose
to it-e. g., a highly nervous tempera-
ment, deficient moral courage, with
which is associated lack of self assertion.
These may be regarded as constitutional
causes,
Another predisposing cause is defect
i've education. The general education
may have been neglected, or the want
of opportunities of acquiring self conf
deuce in society may have been expert
