Why They Got Left.

About all the republican papers in New
York city announced on the morning after
the election that the result was in doubt.
The democratic papers announced Mr..
Cleveland's election. The republican papers
got left because they wouldn't credit the
returns. They had the same returns as the
democratic papers, but they couldn't be-
Eeve it possible that the people had pro
nounced Judgment against the Republican
party, and SO they practically misled their
readers, hoping that later returns would
show a result different from that indicated
by the earlier returns. In PHILADELPHIA,
Chicago and some other cities, the repub-
lean papers we're more candid and told their
readers on the morning following the cleo
ton that the Democratic party had won a
great victory.
One Of the New York papers, Of the
offensive partisan kind, the Advertiser,
commenting on the result in New York
state. said: 1.-The falling off in dr. Harri-
sons vote IN the 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 country
could be made poorer. They will have to
be given time TO recover from this hideous
folly"
The farmers have fallen in with the dem
ocrstic idea that they are forced by the
Mckinley tariff to bear great deal more
than their share of the burden of tariff tax
alton, but they do not desire that the wage
earners Of the country should be made poor,
nor do they think the wage-earners would
be if the tariff doctrine Of the Democratic
party should be adopted. The manufactur-
ers might not make SO much moneY-that
is those who are benefciaries Of the McKin-
ley tariff-but they would not stsrve if their
profits should be reduced.
The unoalled for and unjustifiable fling
at the Democratic party and the farmers
contained in the foregoing extract shows
that the republican organs are SO en-
Uttered by their defeat that they cannot be
fair aud decent in their comments on the
result Of the election. After they have re-
covered somewhat from their disappoint-
ment they may find something to approve
in the tariff doctrine of the Democratic
party, which the people have 30 emphat-
ically Endorsed, and which such prominent
republicans as Judge Gresham and Judge
Cooley believe to be necessary to the pros
perity of the country.
