1927. The phosphorus friction match of the

then number of safety matches have been

Massachusetts people prefer the trail

on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia, or poppy,
as its state flower. The cedar sprig Of
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute a needed tinge OF
green to the nosegay, while the orange
blossom of Florida would lend its irag-
rance, and the mountain laurel of Ala
bama would crown it resplendently.

''The people have spoken in Ohio,

the drift of affairs. | was with Gov
Mckinley for about week during the
campaign and lad an excellent oppor-
turity TO see something of the work
that was being done in the state. At
the meeting at Washington courthouse,
for example, where Mckinley received
5,206 votes in 1891, there were over 1000
voters in the crowd that turned out to
hear his speech, and the enthusiasm ex-
ceeded anything | ever saw. The same

Indecent majority operated to defeat the

Tie veruict in all these states indicates
that the people want no tinkering with
the tariff.
IF the president and congress will
heed the expression as voiced. N the

be no change in the tariff at this time

confidence and BUSINESS will go on as it
did before the depression came. / have

that the chief cause of the panic was
the fear on the part of manufacturers
that the tariff law would be repealed.

president of New York bank, who is a
democrat, and who said that there were
three causes for the hard times. One
was the worlds fair; the second was
the Sherman law, and the third was

wipe out the tariff. He said his eyes
had been opened on this subject and he
could no longer deny that manufac-
turers were refusing to go ahead with
their business because of the uncer-
tainty of the duty on raw material"

that the result of the elections would

THE PEOPLES VICTORY.
Good Work OF the Republicans In the
Late Elections.

Good Work OF the Republicans IN the
Late Elections.
New York rescued by an overwhelm-
ing vote from the clutch of an insolent
and audacious partisan autocracy
which dared TO affront the moral sense
of the state by the nomination of a
criminal for the highest judicial office
in the state; New Jersey redeemed from
the domination of the democratic race
track alliance which sought to lift
gambling to the dignity of a civic vir-
tue; Mckinley reelected governor of
Ohio by over sixty thousand majority;
Penns vlvania republican by majority
of ninety thousand; Massachusetts and
Iowa restored to the republican column
by decisive majorities-this is the story
of the state elections.
There has not been in our political
history for twenty years a grander re-
suit than this. The day will be men,
orable as that on which the conscience
and manhood of the people asserted
themselves for the vindication of purity
of government and the protection of
popular rights against arrogant par
tisan rings intent only on their own
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. There is no room for
doubt as to the meaning of the result
In this state and New Jersey es-
pec:ally the issue was squarely joined
between the forces of evil and
the better impulses and tendencies of
our civic life. Judge Maynard's nomi-
nation i'm New York was distinct
challenge to the moral sentiment of
the state. The democratic nominations
in New Jersey in nearly every county,
made in the interest of race track gam
bling and backed by every vicious ele-
ment of the state, were challenge of
precisely the same sort Maynard was
buried under an avalanche of votes
and the gamblers were literally oblit
Grated, the republicans carrying coun-
ties in which the democracy have been
for years securely intrenched. In both
states the power of righteous public
opinion manifested itself with special
emphasis in local contests, as in Brook
Ign and Buffalo, and in Jersey City,
Camden and Newark, across the Hud-
son.
The results in Ohio, Massachusetts
and Iowa are no less suggestive, but
bear more directly upon national poll
tics, They show that democratic poll.
cies, formulated and threatened, are
obnoxious to the people and can only
be carried out at the risk of overwhclm-
ing disaster to the party.
The victory all along the line is the
peoples victory. The republican party
must accept it as such, and meet in a
spirit of broad and enlightened patriot
ism the obligations it imposes. Frank
