JUBILANr REPUBLICANS.

Great Satisfaction over the Republ1. | can VIctor1es-What Various of Our | Townsmen Say About the Result | Democrats Given to Explanations.
 The news as to how Tuesdays election went infused enthusiasm everywhere among republicans and get democrats to explaining. The explanatory efforts were rather lame. New Haven republicans shared in the general joy. Hon. N. D. Sperry in speaking of the results said he was particularly delighted with the down. ing of Maynard in New York state. This he regarded ss great triumph. If the legislature of that state will now insure an honest ballot law, by which the votes shall be rightly counted, great victory has been secured.
 Said prominent bank cashier: It svery gratifying, these victories. The voice of the people has spoken in thunder tones in endorsement of the protective tariff prin- ciple of the republican party. The people want plenty of work and good wages. They want our industries protected against for eign competition. Governor Mckinley was right in saying that the election results meant an endorsement of the protective policy of the republican party.
 A bank president said: Yes, the result is glorious. The people have spoken. The country, dissatisfied with the botch made in so long prolonging the repeal of the Sherman silver purchasing act, and the Msynards, whom the democratic party in New York state sought to foist upon them, have spoken in no uncertain words. The result is also unmistakably an endorsement of the republican policy of protection to American industries.
 Ex Governor Waller, though laden with | the cares of the Morris Cove railway case, ! came up smiling and genial as usual, and ! acknowled the corn. He said: "It was 8 1 rebuke of the leaders. When political leaders become so arrogant and ar bitrary as they were in New York state, 1t l is time that they should be made to real ize that they are mortal. They are only the agents of the people, and in this l case they needed lesson. I cannot un- derstand the reason of Governor Boies being defeated in Iowa, and am sorry for him. In Massachusetts believe Governor Russell could have been elected had he consented to run. His was a personal | canvass. But do not consider it per- | manent defeat in Massachusetts at all, Ii | is the same in New York state. There are ! just as many democrats there as ever, and l they can be depended upon. The delay in | the senate in repeating the silver bill un- doubtedly had an important effect in thie election. The people had become dis. gusted over the manner in which
 the repeal was delayed. It wal
 no rebuke to the administration
 Chairman Mcdonald of the republican
 town committee had broom attached te
 his wagon as he drove about town ir
 honor of the sweeping republican vic
 tories.
 Hon. Lynde Harrison conceded that the
 "hard times" had reacted unfavorably OF
 the democratic party and caused the op
 litical overturning. He said:
 "The party out of power always thrivel
 on the diversity of the country without
 regard to what party caused the diversity
 have no doubt that by November, 1894
 business will have reached it's normal con
 dition of activity and prosperity, and tha
 these men will be governed in voting by
 their reason and their judgment, and no
 by the leanness of their pocketbooks and
 the hunger in their stomachs."
 Mayor Sargent said no doubt, owing tt
 the hard times, many democrats had voted
 with the republicans. The depressing in
 auences of the times told heavily in tn,
 case. Massachusetts, the mayor added, wal
 naturally republican and had swung bacl
 into the republican line, but he though,
 the democrats were gaining in Msssachu
 setts after all. New York, he thought
 was lost to the democrats, owing to loss ot
 the mugwump or independent vote.
 Chairman Shannon of the democratic
 town committee thought the hard times die
 1t, but 1t was hardly fair to impute the
 times to the democrats. The republican campaign orators had turned people against
 the party in power
 A prominent republican contractor shouted enthusiastically, he said, when he read the news at the breakfast table. IT
 his opinion the result was rebuke to the
 administration and 8 warning to keeI
 hands off from the protective tariff. The protective tariff has been the salvation tt | so large an extent of American industries
