political battle. While the Democrat

CHICAGO.
Returns from all the polls in Chicago ar
complete enough to make it certain that al
the Republican candidates for the bencl
except. Henry Kraft, the Socialist, arr
elected by safe majorities ranging from
1000 to 1900. The full Republican ticke
for County Commissioners is also elected
with the probable exception Of George
Edmanson, now president of the board.
The reelection of Judge Gary in Chicago
is an event in which order-loving men OF
all parties can rejoice. 1t has much
wiper significance than the city on whose
bench he will sit;
NEBRASKA
Democrats show material losses on the
head of the ticket (supreme judge only,
and populists make corresponding gain.
This is especially noticeable IN the first con-
gressional district. Democrats concede the
defeat of their State ticket entire and the
Republican and Populist chairmen each
claim victory, with figures not materially
different, anywhere from Z,0O0 to 5,0U0
This is for supreme judge. Republicans
elect the balance of the State ticket and
make slight gains over the Populists for
county officers.
VIRGINIA.
Indications lead to the belief that the
Democratic majority in the state will reach
$4,000.
AS Viewed by Great Men.
The most eminent citizens of New York,
of party, are feeling very good
over the complete defeat of the machine in
that State at the polls Tuesday. They think
it great triumph in behalf of Government
for the people and by the people. Nor are
they averse to saying so.
Elihu Root, too much pleased with the
result of the election to indulge in any
spread eagle hurrahs, said: "It is the most
event of my whole political
life. do not regard it as party matter,
but as showing that our people are all for
honest government and that our system
was adequate. l think it will be a long
time before the managers of any party in
this State will presume upon the people
being Indifferent to the rules of common
honesty or common morality"
The ex-Speaker Reed wrote a brief but
cordial letter of congratulation to Gov.
of Ohio. When asked for his
views OF the landslide he said:
1T certainly is wonderful victory, and
so universal that it may be safely regarded
as q full popular expression which will do
the country much good. 1t will affect even
the secret sessions of the House Committee
on Ways and Means. The voice is loud
enough to penetrate where the members of
it are, but the people must recollect that it
is steady persistence which is necessary to
obtain the fruits of victory. A second cleo
ton is sometime needed to interpret the
preceding one."
Col. ]. B. Weber, Commissioner of I'm mi
grafton under the Republican Ad ministra-
ton said.
1t is as an American, and not as parti-
san that I rejoice at the victories of the
Republican party. The result shows
that the people will not permit
abuses beyond certain extent Before
slectionIfelt that the country faced greater
crisis than it did in 1861. Then it was the
liberties of some four million people that
we're in the question. Now it was the

II can say in few words" said MIR.
McCleary, Republican, of Minnesota,
What l believe to be the cause of what it |
Ill means. Fear of impending tariff changes
,aused it. 1t means that the tariff is to be
he chief issue in the future as in the past
md that McKinly will be the candidate in
1896. with Greenhalge, Of Massachusetts,,
as his running mate.
Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, thought |
he result was an acknowledgment on the |
'art of the people that they had made "a
mistake in placing the present party in
power. They disapproved of the condition
# affairs which they had brought about. |
During Mr.. Harrison's administration they |
lad prosperity, money, work and few |
tramps." They were not satisfied with |
his; they were restless and wanted a
nance. They got it, and this was their
lrst chance of saying how they liked it.
The silver and tariff question and hard |
imes all figured in the result.
Representative Foreman said it was an |
If year and he believed the defeat would |
would make the Democrats a little more
and harmonious. They were get
ing too confident and independent.
Mr.. Turner democrat, of Georgia) found |
little significance in the election. 1T was"
1e said, conducted under adverse condition
and its result is not of special significance.
It may be, perhaps, true that the long
strain on the silver question had some eff |
Iect and the depression in business circles
possibly added somewhat to the uneasiness
'ut the election was not particularly mo-
nentus and not fraught with grave con-
equences.
Mr.. Ellis Republican. of Oregon ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased, as he
vas surprised at the very magnitude of the
,ictory. Il consider the tariff to have
aused it and not silver" said Mr.. Ellis.
When you stop the mills and factories of

condition of affairs is sufficient for them,
