teeth of the best administration
and the best business we have had !
since The war. They want it
blindly, perversely, Incompetent
sibly-but they want it all the
same. Philadelphia Press.
President Harrison talks of it
but little, but it is understood he
believes Cleveland's election is due
to the tariff question alone. Bal
timore Sun.
The misfortune which has over
taken Mr.. Harrison may be as
cribed in no small measure to the
fact that he was disastrously han
dicapped by the action of the Min
neapolis Convention in ignoring
Mr.. Morton and nominating Mr.
Reid for the Vice-Presidency.-
Washington Post.
The vote showed the effect of
the immense influx of foreigners
in our large cities. New York,
Brooklyn and Chicago all made
unexpectedly large democratic
gains, due, without doubt, to the
heavy accessions of foreign popu-
lation. Cleveland Leader.
The vote must be accepted as
indicating a widespread and over
whelming desire through the
country for a change. 1t is idle
to speculate upon the causes. If
the doctrine of free trade has any
thing to do with (which we do
not believe-any serious attempt
to put that doctrine into practice
will cure the delusion. -Pittsburg
Dispatch.
The causes which contributed to
Cleveland's election are not beyond
the ken of the ordinary observer.
With the growth of the country
the desire, especially in CONNER
cial circles, to get out of the swad-
ding clothes of a small country
and not to hem it in by restriction
of tariff, has been apparent, aud
with the Legislative policy of the
republican party directed toward
Capitalization both of commercial
and financial interests, the think
ing men could easily foresee the
result Baltimore World.
The insult put upon the city by
bringing United States deputy
marshals about the polls on Tues
day was as undesesved as it was
gratuitously offered. We think
Springfield has seen about the
last of this application of "Force
bill'' principles. Springfield Dali
ly Republican.
We believe that the recent de-
feat of this great and honored
party is due to its own backsliding;
to its failure to manfully support
the one fundamental principle
from which its power in the past
was derived. That principle was
the assertion and defence of Amer
lean manhood and of American
suffrage. For many years the
party of "free soil, free speech and
free men" has failed TO do aught
to defend the rights of the colored
men of the South, and when, some
two years since, it had control Of
the law-making and the executive
departments of the Government,
and had the opportunity and the
power to enact Legislation that
would do this, it cowardly yielded
to a senseless clamor and failed
to avail itself of the power and
opportunity.-New Haven Daily
Palladium.
Mr.. Cleveland's election is, more
than anything else, a protest. Had
the republican administration been
true to the pledges which it made
in 1888; had it reduced tariff du-
ties as itpromised instead of great
ly increasing them for the benefit
of special interests; had it been
more determinedly honest in its
currency policy instead Of tamper-
ing with the silver interests by the
dangerous law Of 80; had it made
its administration an administra-
tion for all the people and refused
to cater to small politicians and
large boodlers; had it been true tc
the policy Of civil service reform
in a word, had it been an admins
tration of lofty principle insteaC
Of ones of peanut policy, we no no
believe the man lives who coulC
have defeated the republican nom
