Tuesdays Elections.
Republicans have every reason to he
satisfied with the results of tho elections in
various States Tuesday, and their only
regret will be that there were not elections in
more States that the victory might have
been more general AS the situation stands
however. the result has all the significance
of general election as regards party
issues so pronounced was the victory. 1t is
significant also that the outcome OF Tues
days elections and particularly in the State
of New York is a victory for the cause Of
GOOD government so marked that no intelH-
gent person can fail to comprehend its
meaning.
The Empire State hu,ics the notorious
Maynard under plurality Of i5,oOO and
elects the entire republican State ticket, be
side administering to the bosses who attempt
cd to override the people and thwart the
popular will in their own party as we'll as
throughout the State, such a singing re
buke as they will not be likely TO forget in
| some time The republicans of Brooklyn
and Buffalo are especially to be congratulate
ed upon the determined, vigorous and sue
cessful fight which they made against ring
| rule
| The election of the republican ticket in the
| Empire state will serve to seriously check
| tho corrupt political rule that had made
such progress as to almost dishearten lovers
of good government and believers in poiti-
cal fairness. While the democratic demo-
gogues in that State have not been de-
| 81, +h,ip ltnS hp.n
ken and they have been taught what they
had evidently forgotten. that the people are
the masters in our popular form of govern
mcnt so far as this lesson was admins
tered in the election in New York Tuesday
every person who is thoroughly devoted to
the cause of good government and pure po-
| litical methods must rejoice over the verdict
without regard to party.
In Massachusetts the political firm of
Russell g. Russell has been dissolved not by
mutual consent but by the will of the peo-
pie and the grand old Bay state once more
takes her place in the republican column.
Greenhalge is elected by plurality Of from
81, 600 TO 30. 000 according to the returns
received up to the time of writing. the re-
publicans having made heavy gains in the
cities as we'll as in the country districts As
the vote was large the result can not be at
tributed to any other cause than that the
people of MnssaI lusetts have had enough Of
democratic rule In Iowa also the people
seem to have become tired of democratic
methods and to have elected jackson gov
ernor bv a handsome plurality, while Penn
svlvania gives a sweeping republican
ma ority.
The victory which will afford republicans
the most satisfaction, however from the
standpoint of national politics, is that wor
by the gallant champion of protection il
the Buckeye State. The democrats of Ohio
claimed that Neal. the Trainer of the famous
multiplication tariff plank. would carry
that State by 10000. but the indications
ara that Mckinley is elected by 10000 t,
j0,0 600 This is the way in which th
Trainer of our tariff law has been rebuke,
at the polls
The meaning of the result of Tuesday
elections is so plain that even our demo
cratic friends will he able to read. The PEG
pie are already disguised with the impotHnc.
and incapacity exhibited by the party i
| power at Washington and if they wei'
S once deluled into the belief that change
f was desirable they have evidently bccom
thoroughly convinced of their error. Th
republican party may make mistakes, but
Il is not afraid to own them; and the Couutr
has found republican errors Of Judgment ne
so expensive as one short year of I'M Amer
!, can rule of the democratic party.
