the time of this writing it LOOKS as if
Grover Cleveland bad been elected to
preside in the White house for four
years from the 4th of March next. II
IS possible that later returns may change
| this aspect, but not probable.
Goes Down with ColOrs Flying.
The Tribune Republican, says: The
Republicans have been defeated in 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 honoraby.
Were they to fight the battle over again
they would adopt neither new policies
nor new methods. The Re
! publlcans suffered, as they have done
for the last sixteen years, by the sup
| preston of the votes of half million
of the Southern members of the party
| and the loss of the electoral votes OF
four states to which their candidates
are entitled. They suffered from the
malignity of the drys. and by the I'M
principled fusion agreements made west
| of the Mississippi, which testi-
fed both to the dishonesty
and utter lack of principle of
the Democrats and the besotted ig-
norance of the Republican Populists,
| the last-named of whom could not see
that vote for Weaver was one for
| Cleveland. And yet they would have
won in spite of these things if the Dem
ocrats had made frank free trade fight
| and had told the workmen of this coun-
try just what it was that they intended
to do when they held the reins of gov
| eminent.
Correcting Mistake.
| fT,I,o Fr;,,,o, ny
! the Quletest and most thOnghtfulc canvass
| in the recent history of the republic
| 100000 electors have spoken their
wishes. They have decided by what
will prove a great popular majority
that the mistake of four years ago
shall he corrected, and that the
sturdy champion of tariff reform,
the popular leader WHO spoke in the in
tereSt of the people for frugal govern
ment and the reduction of unnecessary
taxation, shall again be called to the
chief magistracy. No re-
greet will ever be felt by people who,
through quiet but effective use of the
ballot have caused this revolution. A
Democratic executive and Democratic
legislature will use their power moder-
ately and discreetly. But the essential
reforms they have promised will be
wrought cut in good faith. The people
have decided that there shall be no
more taxation or tribute for particular
industries from the general pocket, and
Democracy in time will give effect to
| that decision.
An Earthquake.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 9-The Sun says:
The vote yesterday, not more signifi-
cantly at the South than at the North
and West. and nowhere more strkingly
then in New York city, indicates the
adherence with which the American
| people view any resort to brute force as
| means of carrying elections and cOn-
| trolling the expression of the peoples
will. The earthquake which the pe0-
pie have administered to this method of
! carrying elections is potent and unmiS-
| taxable. In this campaign righteous
| issue had worthy exponent. The CAM
paign of education has brought about
| the expected result.
An Educational Campaign.
The American says: The evils OF
which might naturally follow from the
election of MIR. Cleveland were to large
extent prevented by the exhaustive
campaign through which the country
has passed. 1t was an educational cam
paign, and not among the least of its adj
vantages has been the enlightenment of
the Democratic leaders and statesmen
concerning the effect of their more
radical pledges if carried out as pro-
missed at Chicago. 1t is fairly certain
now that the Democrats in authority,
include Mr.. Cleveland. have no notion
of CARRYING into effect the declaration
that protective tariff is uncOnstitu-
tional and fraud. Both Mr. Cleveland
and the orators who spoke for him dur
ing the campaign modified, il they did
not altogether repudiate, this declara-
ton.
Cleveland II republicans.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-The CONNER
cial Gazette this morning says edlto-
rally: Not few Republicans who are
strong in their convictions and party
loyalty favor tariff reform-not the false
pretenses of Mr.. Cleveland, but genuine
reform of the tariff laws from time to
time, as they appear to need it. They
Endorsed the Mckinley tariff bill as a
whole. but would have been glad to see
some of its parts modified. They claim
that less radical, but no less wise and
benefcent, measure might have been
adopted, which would have met with
less popular objection.
Pictures Not Words.
The Enquirer has not word of edi-
torial on any subject this morning, 1t
headlines its election news without I'M
due exultation. The first two lines are:
Ruth Enters the White House." Its
first page is adorned with big rooster,
also two companion pictures, enc OF
Cleveland going into the White house;
the other of Harrison leaving it.
Congratulates Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Post,
commenting editorially upon the result
of yesterdays elections, says: To Mr..
Cleveland and upon his success the
Post extends its SincereSt cOngratula-
tions. The wisdom of his nomination
from a Democratic standpoint is tri-
umphantly vindicated. He was nomi-
mated in the face of an adverse delega-
ton from his own state. He is elected
with the party in New York never be-
fore SO tremendously organized, and his
bltterest opponents of six months ago
rendering him effective and loyal sup
port. He will doubtless give the coun-
try clean. able and honest administra-
| ton. He will return to the chief
magistracy with a practical experience
of its duties and obligations that will
stand him in good stead, and give so
much the greater assurance OF his ability
and usefulness to the people who have
so conspicuously honored him with
their confidence.
Peaceful Revolution.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-The Times
says: The election of Cleveland is a
peaceful revolution, and 1t will make
no disturbance in the channels of
finance, commerce. industry and trade.
1t will recall the government to severe
honesty, to all needful economy. to the
largest freedom of the citizen, and 10
the sound Democratic policy of scrupu-
lousy maintaining 1.-THE greatest good
to the greatest number" The victors
will have no loud huzzas to fling into
the face of SO honored and honest
president as Benjamin Harrison; but
the consideration of parties will rejoice
that Democratic victory has called
able, upright and patriotic Grover
Cleveland to the presidency.
