1ne people Oh TIE STATE OF new 1OrK
have spoken at the polls, and the day
and the state are theirs. Ring ma
ehinery. ring dietation and ring NOM
inees are broken. A rebuke has been
administered to those whose profession
1t has been to Illustrate the expressions
Of the popular will by cunning arts and
by daring manipulation.-New York
Telegram.
The delay of congress to take action
for the mitigation of the distress caused
by the financial panic has been the
worst blow yet 10 the Democratic party.
The president called congress together
I o take steps for the relief of the gen.
eral distress, but congress did absolute
ly noting but wrangIe.-New Orleans
Picayune.
1t was natural to expect that the
financial and industrial depression
through which we have inst passed
would hurt the party in power and the
patty which has charge OF the govern
ment always loses on year of depres-
sion and stagnation. The Democracy,
therefore, had occasion to expect loss.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Republicans and Cleveland DEM
ocratS will have tWO-thirdS majorityin
each branch of the legislature next win
ter. and perhaps the Republicans them
selves will have two-thirdS majority.
This will enable the legislature to over
ride any vetOS that Gov. Flower writes.
and the legislature will undertake the
repeal of the Tammany anti-honest
election laws and anti-hOme rule and
may iegislate Tammany'S city officers
into oblivi oD.-New York Mail and
Express.
At last the people of this state have
had free and untrammeled opportunity
n nv mr. thaI. iINin f,f Do
nett Hill, "Blue-eyed BilF' Sheehan,
Edward Murphy, Gov. Flower, Croker
and Mclaughlin, and the kind of poll
tics which they represent. The issue
was plain. and the candidate embodied
clearly and completely the political
principles and practices of his hackers.
Maynard stood, as they have stood for
eight years III the state, for criminal
politics. New York Post.
The elections have given Mr.. Cleve-
land most impressive ''Object lesson"
and his personal modification must be
great at the reputation OF his adminiS-
tration by his own state. Disdalning to
invite the trusted leaders OF his party
| to his counsels, he insulted men who
| carried him to victory, by assuming that
| there was no man among the Democracy
fit to be secretary of state. Pledged TO
| favor silver and to stateSmanlike re-
vision of the tariff, he destroyed the
white metal and ignored tariff revision.
Los Angeles Herald.
If the results of the great political
landslide of Tuesday demonstrate one
| thing more than another il IS that when
really great economic interests are in
! volVed i'll contest the merely partisan
| yoke hangs loosely around the public
neck. Thousands of Republicans voted
the Democratic ticket year ago in the
| belief that the times were propitiouS
| for change. This year thousands Of
| Democrats cast off their partisan alleg-
lance and supported the ILen and meas
ures Of the Republicans.-Wa shington
Post.
By majority certainly large enough
| for all practical purposes Mr.. Mckinley
succeeds himself as governor of Ohio.
TO those closely in touch with events in
the Ohio campaign this is not sur
| prise. While the vote given MI Nc
Kinley by no means indicates either
| personal or party strength in more
stirring political times 10 come, it is
| patent that Ohio has just been the field
OF preliminary presidential Skirmlsh.
| A plan to that effect was long ago
mapped out, and circumstances have
conspired to render it apparently sue
cessful.-Cleveland Plaindealer.
The sweeping victories achieved by
| the Republican party yesterday can
only be construed as an overwhelming
| popular condemnation of the admins
tration of President Cleveland and its
policies regarding the tariff, finance and
other mOmentous public questions. 1t
is difficult to say what figure the silver
| question cut i'll yesterdays elections
| Certainly the record made by President
| Cleveland and a Democratic congress in
| favor of the complete degradation or the
| white metal received no indorseInent in
any of the states named.-Denver Re.

The Democratic party has heard
from the people once more, and
| people who voted for Cleveland
| because they wanted tariff reform
have shown their disapproval of his
neglect TO carry out his platform pledges
and the people who want the old order
maintained have gained heart by the
| presidents cowardice. The friends OF
| bimetallism have reserted CleveIand's
| domineering policy, and the masses
| have shown that, though the classes
may have the ear of the public, the PEG
| pie have the votes.-San Francisco Elk.

The overwhelming defeat of the Dem.
ocratic party in local and state elections
throughout the North is an event OF
great political Importance and sig
nificance. 1t means the reputation OF
President Cleveland and his party. Ii
means reversal of the blunder of 1892.
1t means that the American people have
been misrepresented when they nave
been chargedwith having Endorsed DEM
ocratic-English free trade. Ii means that
the heart of the North is still In sym.
pathy with the American policy repre-.
scented by the Republican party.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
