Think They Have Saved Something.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November s.
The result Of the election has been re-
ceived with surprise by all political
parties here. The unexpected hap
peaed ia so many instances that in no
case were the predictions Of Democrats,
Republicans or PopuIists fully verified.
The chief surprise OF the Democrats
arises. rot from the fact that they were
defeated, but that the defeat was so
general in all doubtful States and the
Republican majority so overwhelming.
A grain of comfort is accepted BY
them in the defeat Of the Populists ia
virginia aud the election Of O'Ferran
10 the Goveruorship, but the blows have
been so crushing in the States Of New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio
aud Iowa that even the success 10 Viz
gaia is hardly paraded as a triumph.
Expressions from nearly all the
prominent Democratic leaders az the
capital, as Indicated in these dispatches
some days ago, showed that the Demo
Gratis were prepared for the defeat in
those states where
THE FREE COINAGE ELEMENT
is strong and the disappointment over
the passage of the repeal oil is intense,
I'D "a In
sound money states OF New York and
Massachusetts, the Democratic majorl-
ties of the pas, would be so ruthieSSly
Moved down and the careful efforts or
perfect organization avail so little.
Despite this, however, all the pr0mi-
nent Democratic leaders unite 10 as
cribing the general defeat throughout
the country 20 two cause.-The disaHec-
ton OF the agricultural elements over
thehnauciai question and tho wide
spread apathy Of disappointed Office
seekers who have failed % realize the
fruits OF the last Democratic victory
In Iowa the defeat OF BOies is impOr-
taut: not that 10 means Republican
Governor In that State aud q Republi-
can United States Senator next winter,
but that 10 practically removes Horace
Boles from the list OF Western candi-
dates for the Presidency 10 1896. The
judgement 0f the party leaders here az
proved the FIRST declaration of Governor
Boies last summer chat be would not be-
o candidate for Governor nc the fall
election, and when he finally reCOGSid-
cred ana entered the race for the third
term 10 was feIt that he had everything
a. |H.H rIa ~ ID M
paigu that was TO follow.
THE P0PUILsrs STILL CONTEND
that later returns will show that their
party has made q far better showing in
various States than Is conceded them In
tho earlier dispatches. There is one
element ia the defeated Democracy that
view the genera, Republican victories
with o pluosoph.c resignation that
amounts almost 90 satisfaction. This
element comprises the free coinage
Democrats who have so bitterly re-
preached President Cleveland for fore
Nj The re - .Bli through Congress,
ana WHO Tor weeks have been predicting
that the administration dlSioyalty 10
the Democratic national platform would
DE rebuked by % crushing defeat 10 all
TIE great state elections this iat.
Q Tue President did not show that in
tense Interest," in tho returns last night
that would have Indicated a confidence
in Democratic Victory. Early In the
evening the Presideu, went out 10 his
country home instead OF remaining at
the Executive mansion, as IS usual on
election nights, and the returns ne re-
celyed were only those OF sufficient I'M
portauce 10 be teiephOaod out 70 Wood
ley By
PRIVATE SECRETARY TUURBER
Several members OF the Cabinet drove
out % the Presidents home early ia the
evening, but none of these gentlemen
have thus far given any expression Of
the causes that Ted up Co the general de-
feat. The President was doubtless uu-
GiscOGraged by the Democratic defeat,
as be has constantly repeated 90 those
members OF his patty who have been
predicting Democratic defeat as the re-
salt Of the Administrations financial
policy, that time would viudiCate the
party and show shat the majority was
right iu demanding the immediate aud
unconditional repeal Of the sherman
