DONE Want to Talk.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--No expressions
of opinion are to be heard from members
of the administration. The president stays
out at Woodley, presumably to work on
his message. His intention is to spend
several days Of each week In the country,
engaged in this work.
Secretary Herbert was at the depart
ment but q short time yesterday. and
Secretary Gresham declined to express an
opinion on the results of the voting. The
prominent Democratic leaders at the
capital are peculiarly reluctant to assign
any particular cause for the Republican
landslide and Democratic defeat.
Chairman Wilson of the ways and means
committee seemed anxious TO get the very
latest news from the several states, and in
conclusion said: 81 am mighty glad it
came now instead Of later in the admins
tration. The election in Virginia shows
that the Populist uprising has not gath
cred any headway. AS soon as Demo
cratic measures can be taken to restore
prosperity to the county everything will
be all right again."
Ex-senator Malone OF Virginia said
that he regarded the result as an acknowl-
edgement on the part of tho people that
they had made mistake in putting Mr..
Cleveland in the White House
Ex-Congressman Ben Cable of Illinois
said: ''As to the general cause, the
business depression is the most potent !
hold that the administration and the
Democratic party are not responsible for
this. The business conditions grew out of
pernicious legislation enacted by the Re.
publican party. 1t was the Democracy's
legacy, not its acts"
Judge Lochren, commissioner of pen
sions, said: "It Is the natural result of
the hard times The unthinking people
have charged the financial troubles to the
party In power"
Jones said: "The Democratic party will
toe the scratch next time. Blows of this
character cannot phase 1t. A knock down
mi fad tnpf
The result was due to local causes. The
result in Ohio was the one of most inn
purtance. 1t brought Mckinley once
more In popular view as q political sue
cess and raised his propects as chunk Of
presidential timber"
Representative Burrows OF Michigan
said that the general result indicated that
the laborlng people of the country were
undoubtedly opposed to free trade as advo-
eated by the Democratic party. In Ohio,
he said, the issue was squarely on the
tariff, and the enormous victory showed
how strong sentiment was on that subject
Representative McMillin of Tennesscs
was one Of those Democrats who had not ex.
pccted an overwhelming victory for his
party this year, for he said that no one well
posted on the subject looked for victory In
Ohio, Massachusetts and Iowa The re-
suit, he believed, was not due to the tariff
agitation, for no one knew what the
changes In the tariff would be.
Hon. William X. Morrison said that In
the As years he has been voting the Demo
cratic ticket such reverses had happened
TO him, and ne w as not to be discouraged
"Next year will be q Democratic year,
said Mr.. Morrison.
Attorney General Olney was asked 10,
an explanation of opinion on the result,
but he declined to say anything on the
subject. 1t would have been the same, he
explained, had the result been different.
