rison's electoral vote is the smallest vote
given to any candidate of the democratic |
party during that period.
''Of course the members of the demo- |
cratic national committee are proud of
this result and appreciative of the com.
mendation of their efforts by Mr. Cleve-
land when notified of his election at a
very early hour this morning. We have
done our best in fair and open fight,
endeavoring to avoid being made the
victims OF delusions and never seeking
to delude Others. We think that some
mistakes to which there was great temp
tatlon have been avoided and that some
good points have been opportunely made.
We claim 10 special merit, however, be
yond having tried to faithfully serve our
party and the public through energetic
and harmonious action. Public senti-
ment In favor of Grover Cleveland and
which caused his nomination in spite of
formidable oppositions within our party,
elected him over the opposition of our
adversaries. Mr.. Stevenson has also
! proved an admirable candidate, and be
yond question it is to the approaching
OF his merits and efforts by those who
knew him best, that the wonderful sue.
cess in Illinois is largely due
'1n the experience and faithful hands
of the president and vice president, who
are to be inaugurated next March, the
great trust confided to the democracy by
the people of the United States will be
entirely safe.
''To my mind one of the most iudic-
ious arguments advanced by our oppo
nents was the claim that the country
should not contest to the unifcation of
power and responsibility in one party
that would follow the choice of the dem.
ocratic majority in the congress of the
United States, as we'll as democratic
president and vice president. This is
precisely what the country desired to
effect. Divided responsibility has work
ed mischief enough. 1t has prevented
trial of party principles in governmental
action. Tired of republican administra-
ton and legislation, the people sought
relief through the responsible enforce
ment of the principles of democracy
Good and economical government will
ensue, public burdens all will be reduced
and the prosperity of the whole people
will be rapidly increased"
Opinions of the Foreign Press.
By Cable to the State Chronicle.
LONDON, Nov 9-The Daily Chron-
icle attributes the defeat of the republi-
can party partially to the "disgraceful
tragedy at Homestead, which had no
little share in shaping the peoples will
in the contest.
"If the republicans are dismayed
by their defeat" continues the
Chronicle, ''their imitators, in Eng
land may we'll share their
chagrin. We do not attempt to deny
that an electoral vindication of Mr.. Nc.
Kinley would have given an impetus to
the mischievous movement of Ignorance
and quackery in this country. The dem
ocratlc victory does not necessarily o1
even probably mean free trade, but il
means approximations in that direction
it means that American foreign trade
will expand as it has not expanded here
tofore."
The Daily Telegraph says: The
United States will now have demo
cratic white house. and cabinet with per
haps democratic senate and house o
representatives., but it may be dou btfu
if much good will come to outsid
nations in the relaxation of import du
ties. The result probably means some
thing, if not much, in the political am
fiscal policy of the United States for Mr.
Cleveland is not quite so nakedly seltis
as the Blaines and Harrisons."
The Daily Graphic says: ''No pie as

mean the complete downfall of McKir
