Speaking of the election results,
Representative William L. Wilson, as
quoted by Wheeling Register cor
respondent, said:
Democrats certainly have cause
to congratulate themselves that what
occurred yesterday did not occur
last year or year hence. The chief
cause of the Republican successes
was undoubtedly the business depres-
sion, for which the voters, in their
discomfort and desire TO strike at
somebody, held the party in power
responsible. This always happens in
times of depression, and so it is for
tunate for the Democracy that the
blow comes now, when we are not
much hurt by it, rather than year
from now, when new Congress has
to be elected. Another cause of Re-
publican success was the disappoint-
ment amoug candidates for office I'M
der the federal government, who fail
ed to get what they wanted. This is
another thing which invariably weak
ems the party in power at the begin
ming of new administration, and
which in the present instance made
itself felt rather earlier than usual.
Here, again, however, the Democrats
are fortunate, for his s sense of disap-
pointment has now largely spent it
self, and will he but slightly felt in
the elections of next year.
by that time" Mr, Wilson con-
timed, "the Democrats will have
pat their policies into practical effect,
the country will have recovered from
the present depression, and will
again be fairly prosperous, and then
there will be very different story to
tell en- election day. There is no
good reason why Dem ocrats should
be alarmed or discouraged by yester-
days election, The only Democratic
State that went Republican was New
York, and there the issues were pure
ly local, and Democratic defeat was
due to too much machine rule. That
the party is not disintegrating is
shown by the gratifying victory in
Virginia, which, all things consid-
cred, may he taken as an offset to
tile disappointments elsewhere.

The President has lost meme of his
enthusiasm in the cause of tariff re-
form and will, therefore, probably
bestow more pains upon the con-
struction of that portion of his mes
sage to Congress dealing with this
subject than upon any other.

Representative McDIillin says there
will be no backdown by the ways
and means committee. They will
go straight on without yariabIeness
or shadow of turning to keep the
pledges upon hichthey were elected,
and upon which the Democratic
party swept and can still. carry the
country. They will report a thor
ough, painstaking reduction of the
tariff to revenue basis. They will
report a bill imposing taxes for the
support of the governmentinstead of
a tax for the support and enrichment
of individuals.
