PRESS COMMENT.
opinions Of the Leading Journal
OF the Country.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. THE En-
quirer will say tomorrow: This is a
year for the Republicans.
The Gazette will say: The vast plu-
rality by which Gov. Mckinley was re-
elected yesterday almost as great as
the majority of Brough over Vallan-
| dinham during the war; once again
focuses Ohio in the political eye of
the country. The Ohio idea and the
Ohio man have won victory, the re-
suits of which are so tremendous and
poftenteus that they cannot be summed
up this morning. Ohio has so emphat-
ically Endorsed the principle of
protection for American indus
tries that the issue of '96 is
now unequivocally and distinctly cut
| Out. On it Massachusetts was redeemed
| Yesterday. On it Iowa was won back into
the Republican fold, and even New
| Jersey has been lifted free of its
Snackles. Protection is the issue for '96
lis strongest advocate, its most accom-
| pllshed exponent is Gov. William Nc
klnley, of Ohio.
Senator Sherman aud Gov. Foraker
nominated him Saturday night in
Toledo and in Cleveland. respectively,
as the Republican presidential candi-
| date in '96. Yesterdays vote in Ohio
significant emphasis. The Commercial
Gazette, with full realization
of the significance of yesterdays
victory, Endorses the nomination of Gov.
Mckinley for president. Protection is
the logical issue. Gov. Mckinley is the
logical candidate. To continue the
logic OF the situation, Ohio, which has.
sounded the keynote for go. should
nave the Republican presidential con-
VentiOn.
BosToN. Nov. 1.-THE Globe meets
defeat as follows: In the language of
famous hero, 1--WE have met the enemy,
and we are theirs" Beyond rea-
sonable question it was con-
dition, not candidate, that made
possible the result of the contest
OF Yesterday over the goyernorship
OF Massachusetts. The calamity cry is
urged i'll season and out of season. and
undoubtedly had its effect. Neverthe-
| less, we are convinced that in spite
OF all such appeals Mr.. Green
| halge would have been defeated
yesterday but for the aid and COM
| tort given to his cause from the
halls of Legislation at Washington. The
senate of the United States-a senate
with Democratic majority-must be
| charged, we regret 10 say, with the
chief responsibility in bringing about
| Greenhaige year in Massachusetts,.
| CHICAGO, Nov. THE Freie Presse,
the leading German paper in Chicago.
says: President Cleveland and the
Democratic party are directly reSpon-
sible for the sweeping Republican vic
| tory reported from all parts of the
| United States. The Democratic party
| did not find time in a year to
| effect tariff legislation or relieve the
general apprehension by declaring its
purposes in unmistakable terms. Presi-
dent Cleveland worried his views on
| the money question upon an adverse
majority uf his party and split Demo-
cracy in twain by SO doing.
| The Boston Post says: The hostile
conditions which the Democrats faced
i'll this campaign have been apparent to
every one. They resembleu the
conditions which accompanied Cleve-
lands defeat IN 1883. The removal
of the silver cancer has been a painful
! operation. 1t has left the patient weak
and suffering, and for the moment
| there has been resentment against
the surgeon that has inflicted
| the necessary pain. The country
has been put on the read to recovery
|
| party that has performed the cure has
to bear temporary responsibility for the
suffering caused.
The Boston Herald says: The election
has been held in period of business
| depression. 1t appealed to the pockets
! of many voters. The Democrat
were the party in power, and the
| party in power always suffers in such
a contingency. a defeat under such
| conditions is far from lrreparable. 1t
may be but temporary reverse, ii the
| defeated party heeds the admonition
and acts with greater wisdom in
the future. To do this they
must rally more than ever about their
| president and be mindful of the rea-
sonable requirements of the business of
| the country. If they fail 10 do this
other defeats await them, and defeats
| not all as easily recovered from as this
may be.
NEW YORK. Nov. S.-The World SAYS
editorially: The result in New YORK is
| the overthrow of the bosses an6 the
| breakdown of the machine. Disaster
was cOuried when the state ma
chine detied decency by the nomination
OF Maynard. That act was an affront
TO the moral sentiment of the state. 1t
| outraged every propriety of politics.
| IL
| of reYerential respect with which
the people of New York have
| ever regarded their court OF last resort.
| 1t was an act that furnished fitting
| climax to the sort of machine politics
and boss rule which found expression
in the snap convention of February,
1892, in the election of Murphy as senator,
| in the fragrant violation of the Demo
cratic principle of home rule by the
legislature and in the subsection of the
party to the will of ALI oligarchy. This
| is the first opportunity that has come to
| the voters to deal with this misleading
of the partY-this domination of the
bosses. The verdict is significant.
New YORK, Nov. S.-The Herald
| its editorial SAYS: The vote of yesterday
| was laundering protest against ring
rule and boss dictation. 1t was a pop
ular uprising for public morality and
| good government such as New
! York has not witnessed before in years.
1t was a sweeping condemnation of
| MAYNARD. the branded machine candi-
date for the court of appeals. 1t was
the rout of the ring which has so long
corrupted the government and
plundered the taxpayers of Brooklyn.
1t was the downfall of boss rule in Buff
| falo. 1t was the triumph of the
! Republican state ticket over the Dem
| ocratic. 1t is matter of common
notoriety that Maynard was the special
| candidate of the state machine and that
| the nomination was in reward for his
| criminal service to the machine. The
| forcing of such candidate upon the
party, with the determination to force
! him upon the people, is an instance OF
arrogant boss dlctation without paral-
| lei in the recent politics of New York.
The emphasis with which he has been
repudiated by Democratic voters can
| not fail to prove staggering blow to
| party dictatorship.
