CHICAGO, Nov S.-The Tribune says:
"TheRepublicans have been defeated ia
the national contest but they have made
the best fight they knew how They
have done nothing which they are
ashamed Of They have left nothing
undone which could be done honor
ably. Were they to fight the battle over
again they would adopt neither new pol
itics nor new methods.
"The Republicans suffered, as they
have done for the last sixteen years by the
suppression o the votes of half million
OF the southern members Of theaparty
aud the loss of the electoral votes of
four states TO which their candidates are
entitled They suffered from the malig
nifty OF the Drys aud by the unprincipled
fusion agreements made west Of the
Mississippi which testified both 10 the
dishonesty and utter lack Of principle of
the Democrats and the besotted igiOr-
ance Of the Republican POpulists, the
last named of whom could not see that
vote for Weaver was one for Cleveland.
The Herald says: Grover Cleveland
and Adlai + Stevenson have been elect
ed president and vice-president Of the
United States by an overwhelming
majority both Of the popular vote and
the electoral college. New York and
| Illinois, the greatest states Ia the union,
Joined with the South TO accomplish
this grand triumph Of the candidates
and principles Of Democracy. In add
tion TO the states swept by Democracy,
must be counted those which repudiated
the thieving protective tariff without
adopting en- ire the Democratic faith.
Kansas which in 1888 gave Harrison So,
OO majority, declared for the candidate
Of the third party. Nebraska, Oregon
and Nevada likewise rejected Harrison
and protection, and sought place in the
| Weaver column.
'The Republican disaster is not con-
/ fined to the loss of the presidency. The
/ long continued dscendancy of that party
/ in the United States senate has been
broken at last 1t has lost senators In
/ New York, Connecticut, Michigan, Min
nesota, Kansas, Nebraska Wyoming.
The next house of representatives is
overwhelmingly Democratic and after
the fourth of next March the Republi-
cans will find themselves, for the first
branches of the executive and Legislative
departments of the government
"The triumph of the people is com
plete. The baneful policy of protection
is doomed. The advocates of honest
principles and pure politics will now pre-,
pare to take possession Of their own and
to give TO the country an economical and
patriotic administration
NEW YoRK, Nov 9-The Morning
Advertiser says: "At this writing, l.3y
a. m. it is apparent that the state OF
New York has rolled up an unpreee
IDENTIFY large plurality for Cleveland II

county Cleveland's plurality is set dowr

Mr. Harrison's vote in the rural districts
which was predicted in degree, ha'
