''Tne victory last Tuesday," said Mr..
Jones, twas revolution. Democratic
Illinois means that Indiana, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Iowa ana Minnesota will soon
be surely Democratic ana even Ohio may
get in If she tries il again. With tha great
states Of the central west Democratic, The
northwest will JOIN hands with the south
west in closing the Democratic circle and
then Il will be seen that the Democratic
party has come west to grow up with the
country. | have nothing 80 say against
New York, but believe we shall all like
you better when the time comes, as l be-
lieve it has now come, when we don't have
70 look al New York Democrats through
glass that magnifies a hundred diane
tiers.
Heretofore when the Democratic fac
tons 10 New York City got to caterwauliBg
over some petty local matter the Democrats
of the country had to get up with their hair
standing on en- and ask in fear lis the
party smashed and have we all gone to the
bow wowss' New York factions cRB
sQuabbie TO their hearts content now. It
was not wholesome political condition,
when one presidential election after an
other with all their stupendous conse-
quences hung upon the carrying of one
state. It distorted the relative import
ance of the states. ana the relative import
ance of party leaders.
perhaps the greatest and most far
reaching Significance of Tuesdays victory
is that it loosened the clutches of New
YORK upon the throat OF the party and
transfers the political control to the sunset
side Of the Allsghenies. 1t means an
emanclpated party, Gisslthrallsd west, and
q magnificent future of prosperity for this
great Mississippi valley"
Congressman Scott Of Illinois, Governor
Francis Of Missouri, and others also spoke.
