CURRENT COMMENT.

U-It is better for party or candi.
date to have deserved success and en-
countered failure than to have achieved
victory and deserved defeat-Boston
Advertiser.
CA Republicans will generally take
their medicine without a grimace. The
heroic stuff of which they are built
| will assert itself on top i'll 1S96.-Min-
neapolis Journal.
s Let all worlSingmen take note Of
their wages and comforts on the second
Tuesday of 1892 so as to compare with
the same date of 1896. 1t may be in
teresting and will do no harm Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
GSI In 1895 the republicans viii sweep
everything. The free silver and wild
cat currency programme of the west
ern and southern ends of the democ-
racy will be antagonized by the eastern
end and by Cleveland and the party
will be split for the time beng Thus
1886 will be great year for the repub-
licans.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
When democrats shall have ''re-
formed the tariff to practically free
trade tasis-if that day shall ever come
-workingmen who in this year Of
grace 1892 deserted the republican
party to join the ranks of the free
traders will have an opportunity to
mourn reduction of wages which will
be necessary to enable America to com
pete with foreign manufactures.-Chi-
cago journal.
eB-The great cities of New York
and Chicago have elected the demo-
cratic president without much appar-
ent change elsewhere, except in ccm
munities subject to the same great in
flux of population. The repu blican
party has, by the operation of the pro-
tective tariff, built up the cities at the
cost of the rural districts, and the cities
have reqaited it by fiinging it out OF
power.-Detroit Evening News.
tB There is nothing now to prevent
the democrats from complying with
the wishes of the trades unions Cleve-
land can call an extra session and by
next July a pungent tariff reform"
bill can be enacted, and the country
can have the benefit thereof. And
then the workmen will find out
whether their employers can continue
to pay them high wages while they get
goods at foreign prices. There is no
other way of convincing them they
have been fooled and voted against
their own interests. Experience is a
dear school, but many people never
learn in any other Chicago Tribune.
The republican party of the ma
ton is defeated but it is not destroyed.
1t is a party of principles, not of make
shifts. 1t can afford to wait for the
certain vindication which must come
when the people have had full exhi-
bition of the lack of business capacity
ON the part of the democracy. That
party's lease of uncontrolled power
cannot be long-unless the people of
the north submit to the introduction
of the election methods which have
rendered the name of southern demoe-
racy a Kissing and a reproach to every
honest man.--Toledo Blade.
What the republican party needs
to do is to organize at once for the
campaign Of 1896 on strictly republican
lines. which have always been popular
lines. New blood must be infused into
the management of the party. Before
four years of democratic rule have
passed. the country will be perfectly
ready to restore repu blican supremacy,
provided the party is in touch with the
great heart Of the people, as it used to
be. and is ready to lead them to even
greater heights of liberty and prosper
ity than they have enjoyed through all
the years since the close of the war un-
der republican administration

tH 1t is needless to say that the result
will be great disappointment to repub.
licans, because they have confidently
relied upon the assurances of long-ex-
rerienced leaders in different states.
whose knowledge of the peoples
wishes has rarely been defective 1t
had been hoped that the splendid re-
suits attained under President Harri-
sons administration had placed be-
yond doubt the maintenance of the re-
publican policy for years to come. A
result in doubt is therefore most disan.
pointing and if it proves that a demo
cratic president and democratic con-
gress have been elected the conse-.
quences to the business and industries
of the country will not be such as te
insure the party long lease Of power
