POLITICAL MORALITY, EAST
AND WEST.

The sneering references of the pres
of the East to the wild and woolly
West; will not be lessened now that the
elections ara over and the results
known. For these results have shown
a wide divergence between the sections
on moral grounds-a divergence so grea
as to argue the existence of distinct
standards of morality, between which
there can never exist either harmony or
sympathy.
The Democrats of New York nominal
ed for their candidate for judge of the
court of appeals man who had prosti-
purposes of partisan advantage. The
decent people of the state. Democrats
and Republicans, made common cause
against him, and he was buried beneath
an avalanche of votes. The Republic
ans OF Iowa nominated seif-cOnfessed
and duly convicted pension shark for
governor of the state, and he was elect
ed by larger majority than has been
given to any candidate for that Office
since the close Of the war. Maynard
in New York, was repudiated because
of the infamy that attached to his name :;
jackson in Iowa was elected against
an honorable man in spite of his moral
leprosy.
1t is a matter for congratulation that
the Democrats of the Empire state unit
ed with the Republicans in rebuking
the unjust judge; it is source of re-
greet that the Republicans of Iowa did
not join with the Democrats in defeat
ing the political aspirations of the dis
honest pension attorney.
There is moral principle eXemplified
in the East; partisan bigotry at the
West. Honest Democrats everywhere
can view the defeat of Judge Maynard
with equanimity, if not with satisfac-
ton, for he has brought disgrace upon
himself and humiliation upon the party.
But no honest Republican can regard
the election of Jackson to the guber-
material chair of Iowa with feelings
other than humiliation. Both men were
admittedly dishonest, but one has been
repudiated, while the other has been
approved. The defeat of Maynard was
a moral triumph; the victory of jackson
a moral defeat.
Partisanship more than morality un-
doubtedly brought about the humilia-
ton in Iowa. Considerations of COM
mon decency were lost sight of in the
strife for advantage TO the Republican
cause. A convict in the penitentiary
would have been chosen governor on
Tuesday as easily as was Jackson. But
in their blind adherence to party the
people of the state have affixed a
stain upon their own name and
upon the people of the entire
West that can never be effaced, while
the Democracy of New York have
proved that they are capable of rising
above ali partisan considerations and
taking bold stand in defense of official
purity and in1exible judicial fairness.
In the contrast thus presented the West
appears TO i'll advantage, and will
scarcely dare to protest if she shall be
made the subject of ill-tempered jest OF
gibe.

rats of New York upon the assistance

GRAND IN DEFEAT.

The defeat of the Democratic party
at Tuesdays elections was an exhibition
of sublime moral heroism. The chas-
tisement itreceived did not come from
without. but from within the party or
ganiZation. 1t was not triumph of the
Republicans; il was victory of Democ-
racy over itself-a demonstration more
striking than any that had preceded it,
not only of its capacity TO wisely govern
the country, but of its ability to govern
itself.
The party has fallen upon evil days.
Its leaders have been striving more
earnestly for success than to do that
which is right-for temporary advantage
rather than for that greatest good to the
greatest number which is the essence of
patriotism. 1t has been thought eX-
pedient in some quarters to use queS-
tionable means to accomplish desirable
ends. But the popular revolt has
taught those who control the primaries
and the conventions that such tacIics
must have an end il the party would
perpetuate itself as the governing force
of the republic.
Other parties have maintained an eX-
stence long after their usefulness has
ceased,by unblushing frauds and brazen
disregard of the popular will. The DEM
ocratic party cannot afford to emulate
their example. The rank and file of the
party are too intelligent to be deceived
by false professions; too independent to
be intimidated by the party lash; too
honest to consent to the preparation of
wrong for mercenary ends. No man, be
he ever so high in the party councils,
has the power to control the votes of the
masses for candidate who is unworthy,
or a cause not based on equity. No CAL
Gimme, however thickly applied, could
conceal from the scrutiny of the voters
the moral delinquencieS of Maynard, nor
could the heroics of Neal obscure his
mental deficiencies. Honesty or states
manship was lacking in the candidates,
and they were given their quietuS with
the utmost dispatch.
In the estimation of all good citizens
the Democratic party stands higher today
than it has ever stood before. 1t has dis
played the courage without parallel In
lne history OF DdfGleS-lue courage 10 pun
iSh its own leaders and itself in the in
tereSt of good government and honesty.
1t has served notice upon those who
seek personal aggrandlZementt through
its agency that if they would succeed
they must be above reproach as officials
and as citizens. Its machinery cannot
be employed to foist upon the people an
official who lacks those attributes that
combine to make an exemplary Amer
lean citizen. Questionable methods
may prevail for time, and the domi-
neering Of selfish organizations may eX-
erciSe a passing influence, but the in
herent patriotism and honesty Of the
Democratic masses will ultimately as
sert themselves, and bring ruin to those
who seek to sIbvert the organization
into an engine for the accomplishment
of selfish aims.
Democracy has chastened itself. and
it will he the better for the drubbing it
has received. 1t has done well. 1t is
greater in its merited defeat than it
could have been in undeSeryed success,
for it has proved its greatness by prov
ing its Willingness to punish itself.

THE FAIR CITY.
Election OF the Entire Republican
Judicial Ticket.

Election OF the Entire Republican
Judicial Ticket
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Ihe revision today
of election returns shows that the Re-
publicans elected their entire judicial
ticket, with the possible exception of
Kraft, with Judge Gary in the
lead. Kraft wss identified to
some extent with the socialists
here. The Republicans showed general
gains throughout the city and county
over the presidential vote of last year,
and, in addition, Gary, VINO presided at
the Haymarket anarchists trial, and
who was opposed by Gov. Altgeld's in
fiuence, received many Democratic
votes, putting him considerably ahead
OF his ticket.
In the fight for county commissioners
the result is somewhat in doubt, and it
may require the official count to
decide which party is in the lead. 1t
is apparent, however, that the board
of commissioners will be a mixed
one, as men on both tickets seem
to have been elected. Gary's plurality
is estimated at 5000, although en-
thusiastic Republicans place it as high
as 5000, with the remainder of the Re
publican ticket probably from 1900 to
1000 behind Gary's lead.

SPEAKER CRISP,
Democratic Defeat Due to Local
Causes in the States.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. S.-Hon.
Charles f. Crisp. speaker Of the house
of representatives, spent today in Nash
vile, but kept himself secluded, and
but few knew he was here. Referring
to yesterdays elections, he said he
did not ascribe the results of Tuesdays
elections to any opposition to the DEM
ocratic administration, but purely to
local causes.
In his opinion the Democratic party
has only to carry out the pledges of It's
platform, and the results of Tuesday
would be forg before the next
presidential contest
The tariff bill will be reported when
congress convenes next month, said
Mr.. Crisp, land clean-cut measure it
will be. 1t will provide for a revenue
tariff and make sweeping reductions all
along the line. Many articles which are
now taxed will come in free, and
the revenue to run the goyernme ut will
be raised by an increase of the tax on
beer and other IuXuries. / think a bill
will be passed to levy an income tax
and that the state bank tax will be re-
pealed."
Speaker Crisp left on the 10 o'clock
train for Atlanta.

Antoine Strachota Tries Unsuc-
cessfully to Commit Suicide.
Antoine F. Strachota, living at 566

attempt at suicide at midnight last
night. and but TOR the prompt arrival of

would have been a success. At 12: Is
cries of ''Help." "Police," disturbed
the usual quiet at that hour of Bridge
square. PatroIman Morse ran to the
center span of the Wabasha street
bridge and found an elderly gentle man
leaning over the railing of the bridge
holding with death-ltke grip to the
coat of man whose body was
swaying and twisting about in a
struggle to regain foothold
on tue structure. With the aid
of the officer the would-be suicide was
lifted over the rail and then taken to
the central station. Here the young
man gave the name above mentioned,
and, as he was evidently on the verge
of the ''jim-jams." he was consigned to
cell and Dr.. Hanley called to attend
him.
Mr.. O'Neill said he had met Strachota
during the evening and together they
had visited the Tivoli. During the
hour or so they were together Strachota
had told him he was out of work and
seemed TO be pursued with bad luck.
In order to drown his sorrows for the
past few days he had been drink
ing heavily. ONeiil enneavOred
to cheer the youth up, and few mo-
ments before the attempt at suicide was
made they had parted at the end of the
| bridge, Strachota saying he was going
home. MIR. O'Neill said something
seemed to tell him to watch the young
man, and he stood at the end
of the bridge watching Slrachota.

District Attorney Nieoll explained to
the recorder when Weeks was

been remanded for week onFrlday last

but that Weeks was held on five indct-

plead guilty to one of these, charging
him with grand larceny of S72, 800, the

lit is unnecessary for me to say any
thing further. The sentence of the court
is that you be confined in the state prison
at hard labor for ten years"
Weeks took his sentence. the heaviest
the law allows for his otfense, without
flinching. He seems to have expected
it. He told Clerk Hall, in answer to the
usual question, that he was forty-nine
years old. He looked fifteen years
older than that when he arrived last
Friday from Costa RIGA. He looked
ten years younger as he stood
erect and finely poised at the bar of
justice today. He had no lawyer. He
turned and followed the sheriff out of
court with firm tread. They took him
across the hall to the Office of Col
Townsend, where he had long visit
with his wife, after which lie was taken
back to the Tombs.
Should it be discovered that Weeks
has Seereted ANY of the embezzled prop
erty, he will be brought TO account on
these other indictments. and will surely
end the rest of his life in prison.

Explosion OF Powder Causes q
Heavy Loss Among the Rebels.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Herald has
a communication from the Brazilian
minister of foreign affairs. which con-
talns the following: A second powder
magazine of the rebels on Gov
eInor's island, occupied by them,
containi ng more than 200 tons of
powder, exploded while they were
transferring the powder to the vessels.
The rebels lost sixty men and some small
ships, their officers being wound
ed. Two officers and sailors of the
British squadron were also killed. They
were at the time in the nelghborhoOd of
the magazine. 1t is believed that the
explosion was caused by the careless
ness of the rebels. Nictheroy is
daily bombarded by the rebels,
whose efforts to land are al
ways repuised. The fortress of
Villegagnon is very much battered, and
answers with little energy to the fire of
the loyal forces. Three columns of the

Dies MONIES, To-, Nov. s.-Jackson's
friends, late this afternoon, claim his
plurality to be 10000. 1t is the most
stupendous Republican landslide in the
history of the state. Gen. Weaver ex-
plains it by saying:
"The result is rebuke to the admin

its promise to reform the tariff"
Then MIR. Weaver says the Democrats
of the Northwest have always been
pledged to silver. and the admiuistra-

thing to which Gen. Weaver lays Boies'
defeat, is his straddle on silver. The

NEW JERSEY.
Anui.Race Track Party Carries
the Legislature.

Latest returns from the New Jersey
election only serve to increase the ma
joritieS of the anti-race track men, and
emphasize the defeat of the ring Which
has SO long dominated the state. The
opponents of the gamblers, under the
lead of Bosses Thompson and Mckum
have won great victory. The anti-race
track men have elected seven state SEN
ators and their opponents but one. Nine
Democratic state senators held over and
SO do four Republicans. The new state
senate stands: Republican, IL; Demo-
Gratis, 10. In the state assembly the Re-
publican5 or anti-race track men have
80 and the Democrats 81.
There is clear working majority
against the winter race tracks III both
houses of the legislature.
The most signal victory of the reform
party is the election of Col. John j.
Totfey as sheriff of Hudson county by
a majority so great that the race-track
candidate, Edward K. Stanton, seems
not to have been iD the fight at all. This
is especially significant because the
possession of the sheriff was of vital
Importance to the men who own the
winter tracks, and the fight was a deS-
perate one.
The defeat of the winter track men
means the repeal of the race track
gambling laws. The victory of the re-
form element will naturally be followed
by discontlnuance of winter racing in
New Jersey. A significant feature
of the voting was its sole re-
ference to race track legiSla-
ton. That was the one issue.
When the race track champion
in the field was the Republican
candidate, as in Atlantic City, he was
defeated by the United action Of the
Republicans and Democrats. In Sus-
sex county every Democratic candidate
was defeated. Such thing should
have happened in the county the entire
fusion ticket appears to have been
elected. In Monmouth county the EN-
tire fusion ticket seems to have been
elected. Founder Braddock, of Asbury
Park, claimS to have a small majority.

Kentucky Is O. x.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. s.-The Demo

certain that the aggregate vote of the

the election two years ago. In some
counties the votes cast Tuesday were
not more than half the usual number.
This loss certainly comes from the
Democratic side. The Populists have
been practically wiped out. The Demo-
