the Country.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 9.-The Leader
Rep) says editOrially:
1.-The vote yesterday 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 accesSons OF for
eign population. AS soon as foreigner
arrives in either of the first named
cities he falls into the clutches of Dam
ocratic politicians, aSpires to be police
officer, or to hold some similar position,
and swearS allegiance to the Democracy
before he becomes citizen.
''II the new administration moves
upon Republican lines, industry will
continue to thrive. Should the princi-
pies upon which Nh Cleveland has been
elected be put into execution. disaster
would be inevitable and the Democracy
would he relegated to long period OF
obscurty."
An Insult TO Labor.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 9.-The Ore
gonian says:
The country has received change
of policy in the most prosperous time it
has ever known. This is largely the
result of the immense foreign vote in
the great cities. The labor vote, largely
irr,nranf nj fhn nVtnnt nf ltC
prosperity, has been misused by DEM
agogues and has revolted against the
best conditions it has ever known. Its
mistake will be seen when the prosper
ity on which labor has thriven as never
before receives an inevitable shock
through legislation based on the plat
form on which Cleveland is elected. The
Populist craze is based Oh the same
errors The election Of yesterday will
be the beginning of the period OF in
dustrial stagnation resulting from the
timidity of capital and the uncertainty
Of business. and from that consequences
will recoil with terrible force upon the
labor classes, through whose votes
chiefly tue result has been brought
about"
But They Did, Though.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 9.-The RepuD-
lican says, in regard to the election, this
morning:
I'VE have too much confidence IN the
common sense and patriotism of the
American people to believe that they
would deliberately repudiate such a
broad, able and gifted man as Benjamin
Harrison in order to try second term
of Grover Cleveland and the returns
received clearly indicate that there
would be 10 possible danger of such
verdict if the choice OF president could
be left to free and intelligent voters"
No More Force BILL.
New YORK. Nov. 9.-The Sun says:
'There will be no force bill. Yester-
days victory disposes forever of the in
famous project which menaced the
rights of American citizenship and the
peace of the nation. The conspiracy
will never he revived. Whatever issues
may divide parties III the future, the
momentous question which, during the
past four months, has united the Dem
Ocracy in defense of its fundamental
principle. is settled, and settled right.
For the glorious result let every Demo
crat be thankful.
"Something remains to be done. With
Democratic president in the White
house and a Democratic house OF repre-
sentatives in congress, the party OF free
government and home rule only awaits
the day. now not far distant, when
the United States senate shall also
be Democratic. The acts OF 1871,
permitting in the name of federal
int Fn
wholesale bribery of voters by the
Davenports and the Jacobuses of the
Republican party, must be repealed.
To complete and clinch the splendid
achievement of yesterday by wjping
from the United States statutes every
trade of Davenportism is the most
urgent daty before the triumphant
Democracy"
Berating the Farmers.
The Morning Advertiser says: "At
this writing Il 80 a. m.) it is apparent
the state of New York has rolled up an
unprecedented large plurality for Cleve-
land. 1t is estimated at $4,000. In this
city and county Cleveland's plurality is
set down at 10000. Brooklyn and Kings
give him plurality of $4,000. The fall
ing off in Mr.. HarrisOn's vote in lie
rural districts, which was predicted in
a degree, has been more than realized.
There is no accounting for it, save upon
the ground that the farmers have fallen
in with the Democratic idea. that they
would be better off if some of the wage
earnerS and manufacturers of the coun-
try could be made poorer. Tney will
have to be given time to recover from
this hideouS folly"
Protection Repudiated.
CHICAGO, Nov. O. Following are ed
itolial comments on the result OF yes
terday's elections:
The Herald Democratic says: The
extent of the Democratic triumph, posi-
tive and emphatic as it is, does not be-
gin to equal the most crushing defeat
which the American people admins
tered to Republcanism and protection
in the elections of yesterday. In addi-
ton to the states swept by Democracy
must be counted those which repudi-
ated the thieving protective tariff with
out adopting entire the Democratic
faith. Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon and
Nevada likeW Use rejected Harrison and
protection, and sought a place in the
Weaver column. The Republican dis
aster is not confined to the loss of the
presidency. The long-continued as
tendency of the party in the United
States senate has been broken at last.
The next house of representatives is
overwhelmingly Democratic, and after
the Sth of next Marcn the Republicans
will find themselves, for the first time
in thirty years, out of power in all
branches of the executive and leg!sla-
tive departments of the government.
McKinley's Waterloo.
The News-Record Qnd.) says: Maj.
Mckinley has posed as being the Ma
poleon of the Republican party. Yes
terday was the Waterloo for Mckinley
and McKinieyism. Just as the ''sunker
road" in the vivid words of Victor
Hugo, brought disaster and humiliation
to Napoleon, so the hosts of the Repub-
lcan party, binding themselves to the
desperate ambition of their Napoleon.
faced dictator, fell in the sunken road
of the new ballot system. Nothing
could save Mckinley from the ditch
digged for him. soberly, silently and re-
morselessly, by the people who pay tina
taxes and who believe that the revenue
is a tax, and a tax for anything but the
