SPRINGFIELD Repub'ic- Times: Still thore be
people who will hold to the belief that pro-
lection is constitutional and will remain 80.
ALLIANCE RevieU: We have no desire to ap-
pear in the roll of an alarmist, but If tho
pledges contained in the Democratic ma
tional platform of 1892 are to be carried out
by legal enactment, then, indeed, may the
most serious solicitude be felt as to the
future. just how far the present prosper
ous condition OF business and activity in In
be seen. There is no doubt of this fact, that
to disturb the tariff ut this time, or TO dis
turb our system of currency means serious
disturbance to business. Lack of confidence
on the part of manufa cturers in the legtsla-
tive course to be pursued by the Democratic
party, should it secure control OF both
branches of Congress means great deal.
1t means n Withdrawing of capital from in
dustrial enterprise, and that means ldle
men. So lar as Grover Cleveland's ability

th ere Is no question, though it must be con-
fessed that if he has entered into deal
with Tammany for the distribution of the
spoils OF office it will not tend to increase
the efficiency of the public service when he
shall have taken up the reins of govern
ment.
BEAVER Times: Republican Chairman Car
ter can row take the palm as a Republican
rainbow chaser" getting away even from
Democratic Don Dickinson in that peculiar
role. At midnight of Tuesday, he still
claimed 229 electoral votes-six more than
necessary to elect-with an even chance in
addition to carry West Virginia! The Lone
Fisherman or the Beaver was sadly needed
at the helm this year, the same as four years
ago.
CLEVELAND Pldindealer: 1t is evident that
the Buckeye State for the first time in q gen.
Grafton will give her electoral vote to q DEM
cratic State ticket shares in the glorious
triumph. The State was conceded to Har-
rison OH all sides until W ednesday after
noon, when dispatches were received
showing immense and wholly unexpected
Democratic gains. At midnight hardly
doubt remains that Ohio has swung into the
long column of her sister States that have
repudiated force and fraud as represented
by Harrison and Mckinley. The blow at
Mckinley is even more direct than that ut
the defeated candidate for President tits
personal rebuke which the Major can hardly
fail to deeply feel. and he must now admit
that lie was largely responsible for the un-
precedented disas er which has overwhelm-
ed a once great party.
McKEEsPoRr Herald: The biggest man in
Pennsylvania politics to-day is Chairman
Harrity.
CANTON Repository: A verv simple sum in
arithmetic would show that while Presi-
dent has in him the vast patronage of ap-
pointive power, for every appointment he
makes there are from 5 to so disappoint-
ments. Human nature is with US always.
Some natures are loyal in disappointment as
well as in appoin tment. Others are not. At
this time the indications are strongly that
for every administrative ofi1ceholder to help
retain an administration there are six to op
pose its retention. Mr.. Cleveland was downed
once by the disappofntments of partisans.
He rose not so much like truth crushed to
earth, as because disappointmentS are not
confined to one political party. There has
never been President whose administra-
tion was purer or more patriotic or more
statesmanlike than President Harrison's.
And never, during any Presidents admins
tration, were the economic principles upon
which he was elected so trinmphantly vim
dicated in their Inauguration and continu-
ance, by official government reports OF
Custom House, Treasury and census.
CoRRY Flyer: The election returns look
bad; bad for the Republican party and ex-
ceedingly bad for the prosperity and welfare
OF the country.
HARRISBURG Telegraph: The result in the
country of the elections yesterday ought to
have been anticipated by the Republicans,
and doubtless would have been had it not
been for the fact that they had been almost
continuously victorious for the past 80 years.
The election of Grover Cleveland was &C.
complished not so much yesterday as when
Hill and the Democrats of New York, led by
Tammany Hall. stole tho Legislature OF that
State and legislated away the only restraint
there was upon the dishonest propensities
of the Tamlnany machine Immediately
after the stealing of the Legislature had
been accomplished it was the universal pub
lie sentiment that the theft meant putting
into the power OF Tammany the ability to
give just as large q majority in Now York
and the surrounding cities as would be
necessary to keep the State In the Demo-
cratic column, and that this with the solid
South would give Democracy n vantage
ground from which it would only be with
difficulty dislodged. The result OF yester-
day has demonstrated the correctness of this
belief.
CANTON Ne,rs- Democrat: The Democratic
party has come to stay. 1t stands upon the
solid rock of constitutional liberty, as en-
braced and taught by that great body of
representative Democrats who framed our
Federal Constitution and set the young re-
public on its career.
JoHNsrowN Tribune: We don't like it. and
would not acknowledge that we are beaten
if we could help doing so, but while we had
hopes that Harrison's splendid administra-
tion would pull him through, it was known
everybody knew he was terribly han6i:
capped. First, he had surrounded himself
with impr acticable kite-6yers like Cnaun-
cey NJ. Depew, and built wall of ice around
himself that practical politicians could not
get near without getting frozen; next, the
ming mate was like putting a cab horse
alongside a thoroughbred. Maybe salt
wouldn't have saved us. but q sprinklinC of
common sense and an even share of fortune
would have prevented us from being buried
SO early and so Deep
CLEVELAND Leader: We wish to 60 on rec
ord now Us predicting that Cleveland's fol-
lowers will get up q strong movement for
his rem ominnt ion in 1896 They will argue
that his first term should not count, since it
was separa ted from the second, and the
third term question will come to the front
once more.
