The Landslide Means Success Tor
Democracy Three Years Hence
Certain Democrats in the
Senate to Blame - Defeat of
Maynard Not Mourned-Elec-
ton of Gary Satisfactory.
The Republican landslide has natu-
rally made the Republicans of st. Paul
very juOilant; but, much to their sur
prise, it has not caused corresponding
depression among Democrats. A good
many Democrats spoke upon the sub
ject yesterday, few of Them for publl-
cation, and the universal remark was
that they were expecting just such a
result, some of them saying that they
are almost surprised that the Republi-
can majOrities were hot greater. The
American people. said they. are very
sure to hold the party in power respon
sible for financial depreSsionS, and that
is what they have done for the Most
part in this instance. The responsible
lty of the Republican administration for
the recent crises has not been consid
cred; the party in power has been taken
TO account for it all.
However. good many st. Paul Dem
ocratS do not hesitate to say that the
folly of Democratic senators in clog
cling the way to the repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchasing law has been
great factor in bringing about Demo-
cratic defeat at the polls.
But ST. Paul'S Democracy is not in
the least depressed by the outcome.
The universal feeling is that the party
has been given very profitable lesson.
The party will come to its senses now
and become united for the best interests
Of the country III every particular. The
defeat at this time means victory for it
in the national contest of three years
hence.
The defeat of Maynard in New York,
the election Of Judge Gary in Chicago
and the result in New j ersey are looked
upon with little sorrow by good many
leading Democrats. Their OILY regret
is that Maynard should have been
placed in the field. that Gary was not
the candidate also of the Democratic
party, and that the Democracy of New
Jersey should have leaned in the least
toward Inc pool sellers.
The few interviews following are rep
sentative of the general talk among
Democrats:
William DawsOn-I think the result
is no mere than might nave ben eX-
pecled. | am glad if Judge Gary is
elected i'll Chicago. | think if Mr.
Cleveland had called congress six
weeks earlier, and the senate had acted
as promptly on the repeal bill as the
house did. the result would have been
very different. l think the Democratic
party needed inst this lesson. The re-
suit will. 10 doubt, have tendency to
reunite the party and give it stronger
front. The party. L believe, will now
proceed with new tariff measure
which will wisely tear down rates that
amount 10 prohibition, and at the same
time protect our own labor against the
competition of foreign cheap labor.
Hon. ID. w. Lawler-I attribute the
result to the delay of congress in
repeating the Sherman act.
Ambrose Tighe - The Democratic
party got its deserts in New York, New
Jersey and Chicago.
Z. ID. O'Brien-I think the result is
due 10 the hard times and the general
dissatisfaction of the people. ANY party
in power would be held responsible bv
the people for the present conditions. L
think the result in New York is entire
ly due to tile dissatisfaction with May
nard. L think it is creditable to Democ-
cracy that the party has caused the
defeat of an unfitnominee. The defeat
OF such 4 candidate does not affect the
principles of the party
Z. Ii. Kelly-Served them right Got
what they deserved. Mr.. Maynard
should never have been put on the
ticket in New York. Boies should never
have been put up for a third term
jackson, however, should have been
beaten. Tor he has good deal worse
record than Maynard. Gary should have
been voted for by all parties.
Judge McCafferty-l was very much
surprised at Greennalge'S majority in
massachusetts,. because | know that
Russell was very popular, and fully as
much so as his nameSake, the present
governor. l don't think the Republic
ans can gain very much satisfaction out
of the election of Jackson in Iowa
This country has settled over and over
again tie question of third terms:
therefore the defeat oil BCies is not sur
priSing. Everybody vino knows Judge
Gary, without regard to party, will be
pleased at his election. The general
result is the usual outcome of the off
year election. There is no doubt, while
The question at issue in the senate was
not discussed particularly in any of the
states, that it was an element that had
a great deal TO do with the loss of votes
TO the Democratic party.
L. ID. O'Brien-So far as we can Judge
here. tie election of Judge Gary and the
defeat of Judge Maynard are highly
satisfactory. ] don't think any con-
Il s.,
results, except that people are in an
unsettled frame of mint and inclined to
vote anything that promises change.
FIGHT OVER THEIR CHILD.
