OPINIONS on ruE RESULT

into power a year ago. The triumph ct
Mckinley is a grand one and places him
in the forefront OF our party IS = great
leader.
Senator Palmer: l have no reason to
assign e1cep: that the country Is In
trouble, and the democrats apparently
power. No legislation o. the recent con-
gress affected the matter unless it was
the repeal OF the purchasing clause and
that was one OF the mos. important acts
in our monetary history. I believe Nc
kinley will be the next republican
nominee for the presidency.
E1- Governor Campbell OF Ohio: The
business depression is attributed by par
tisans and un,hinking portions OF our
people to the present federal administra-
ton. The e1.soAiiers are somewhat
moved by the needless fear that they
will not be justly and literally dealt
with. There Is a natural ebbing OF the
tide from the great flow Of last year.
There are sore and disappointed appli-
cants for Office. These are the causes
Of the defeat. The fear Of tariff revision
had nothing 20 DO with it whatever.
Chairman Sayers Of the appropriations
committee, Washington: The principal
reason was We didn't get enough votes.
Ex-senator Malone: The people have
thus acknowledged that they made a
mistake.
Firs. Assistant Postmaster Jones: The
democratic party will toe the scratch
next time. 4. knock down of this sort
serves as q tonic.
Congressman Burrows: It indicates
that the laboring people of the country
were undoubtedly opposed to free trade
as advocated by the democratic party.
In Ohio the iseue was equarely on the
tariff, and the enormous victory showed
how strong public sentiment vas on that
subject.
Hon. VIM. r. Morrison: In the forty.
five years that I have been voting the
democratic ticket l have had several
such blows and l am used to 1t. Next
year will be a democratic year.
General Alger: The contest in Ohio
was strictly on the tariff issue, and the
same influence that gave Gov. Mckinley
his magnificent majority, defeated the
democrats in Massachusetts and Iowa.
II the president and congress will heed
the expression of the people as voiced in
the elections yesterday, and will say that
there will be no change in the tariff at
this time, l think there will be a restora-
ton Of confidence, and business will go
On as before the depression came. The
people understand that the democratic
promise to wipe out the tariff caused the
financial depression, and they yesterday
demanded that the tariff be maintained.
Ex-President Harrison: I am much
gratified. No election we have ever had
previous had SO much significance.
Senator Teller: It's a pronounced
condemnation of Cleveland's administra.
ton.
Minneapolis Tribune: The Hill.
Croker Flow er. Sheehan machine in New
York, the New jersey race track thug
gang and the Altgeld a%narchistic crowd
in Chicago went down under the snow
storm of ballots together. It was a
victory for law and order against rule by
1.-THE gang" 1t was the peoples right
eous rebuke to Crokerism, Maynardism,
the gambler regime and Altgeldism.
San Francisco Chronicle: It means
the reputation of President Cleveland
and his party. 1t means a reversal of
the blunder of 1892. 1t means that the
American people have been misrepre-
sented when they have been charged
with having Endorsed Democratic Eng
lieh free trade. It means that the heart
of the north is still in sympathy with the
American policy represented by the re.
publican party.
Los Angeles, CAL, Herald (Dem:) The
elections have given Mr.. Cleveland a
most impressive "object lesson" and his
personal modification must be great at
the reputation of his administration by
his own state.
New Orleans Picayune: The delay of
congress to take action for the mitica-
ton of the distress caused by the fnau-
cial panics, has been the worst blow yet
to the democratic party. The president
called congress together to take steps
for the relief Of the general distress, but
congress did absolutely nothing but
wrangle.
A New Invention.
