Yesterdays ELECrION.

The election of MI. James p. Baxter
yesterday, ought to be regarded with sat
isfaction by everybody, without distinc-
ton OF party, for the reason that
his defeat would have seemed to
show that the majority of the
voters of Portland were indif-
ferent to assaults upon the integrity of
the ballot and lightly regarded such
performances as those of Warden
Harper and the Democratic ballot clerk
of Ward l at the former election. 1t
would have been much more creditable
to the city of Portland if his majority,
large though it is, had beer
treble the amount. Such it would un-
doubtedly have been if the chief issue,
which was really moral rather than polit-
ical, had not been obscured by misrepre-
sensations and plausible though unsound
arguments.
The Democratic leaders bent all their
efforts to the convincing of the rank and
file Of their party that there was nothing
but politics in the contest and though
their success did not come up to their ex-
pectation it was greater than it deserved
to be. They constantly appealed to
the prejudice and passion of
their followers and were thus enabled
to keep them from a calm and rational
consideration of the facts. 1t is impossi-
bic of course to determine how many
Democrats were Influenced by the Ward
performance to either vote for Mr..
Baxter or to refrain from voting at all.
Some undoubtedly were, and more, it is
to be hoped for the credit Iof the party,
would have been if they had viewed the
facts with eyes unclouded by partisan
political feeling.
The Republicans have every reason to
congratulate themselves on the showing
they made. Their voters came out with
alacrity, and there was earnestness
and determination on their part to right
the wrong of the first election. Their
efforts met with deserved success, and
they can review the work of yesterday
with the greatest satisfaction. They have
effectually repealed the imputation that
the voters of the city are Indifferent to the
Ward l fraud, they have restored the
good name of the city as an honorable,
law abiding community, and they have
placed in the mayors chair gentleman
of high character, of long business ex-
perience, of great public spirit-a man
who will bring distinction to the office
and will administer the city tafflirs on
sound principles and to tt Q eltr1l salts
faction of the public.

1t is pleasing to hear that one cabinet
minister has had courage enough to re-
sist the demands of spokesman who
wanted an efficient officer removed sim
ply to make place for one of his
friends. The officer was Mr.. Hoke Smith,
the spokesman Senator Pugh, and the
man he wanted removed commissioner
OF education Harris. Mr.. Smith is said
to have refused the demand on the
ground that Mr.. Harris was thoroughly
competent official, and that the interest
Of the service demanded his retention.
The action of Mr.. Smith is in marked
contrast with that of Postmaster General
Bissell, who discharged the efficient post
master of Philadelphia because the latter
would not accept an incompetent assistant
chosen by Chairman Harrity on account
of his political services to the Demo-
cratic party.

think it is of the utmost Importance
that the United States should control the
Sandwich. Islands. In fact, I believe
that it is generally admitted by every
body who has given the subject any CON
SHERATON, that we cannot permit those
islands to pass into the hands of any
other nation.
This, however, carries a responsibility
with it. If the people of the islands can
not maintain strong and orderly gov
eminent, and wish to seek the protection
OF another power, we must, if we refuse
TO let them pass to any other power, give
them the protection and the stable gov
eminent that they need. So long as Mr..
Cleveland reaches this result, whether
by a protectorate or annexation, he
should be, and will be, sustained most
most cordially by all American, regard
less of party.
Il cannot believe that he has any 9th
er purpose, but at the same time, even
supposing that he wishes to carry out
his policy by fresh negotiations. | cannot

the flag. Such a step is on it's face dis
tasteful, and seems likely to encourage
disorder.
II think, therefore, it would have
been perfectly proper for the Senate to
ask for information as to this particular
act, which must, of course, have been
performed by thu order of the President,
as Mr.. Blount held no office investing
him with any authority whatever
The Portland daily press., 1893-04-18

We are strongly of the belief that
when the Hon. Darius Fl. Ingraham
calmly considers the result of yesterdays
election he will be of the opinion that
when he yielded to the earnest solicita-
tons OF his party friends and consented
to be again their candidate he made
mistake. When Mr.. Ingraham declined
his certificate on the eleventh of
March he won applause from
all the people without distinc-;
ton of party. When he refused to
again be a candidate he added to the
general public appreciation of his CON
duct. He got more credit that critical
examination of the circumstances of his
declination would have entitled him to.
but the public was not disposed to be
critical at that time. When however he
again consented to be candidate
the people began to closely
scan the circumstances surrounding
his declination with the result that the
credit accorded him was very much di-
minished He has now failed of the
vindication at the hands of the people
which he sought. The lesson which Mr..
Ingraham' experience teaches is that it
is altogether more profitable to follow
ones own honest impulses than to obey
the behests of party.
