election Of the president the subject
Of finance was Of secondary impor-
lance, but since his election subse-
quent conditions have made it coequal
with the tariff issue upon which the
democratic party won its great victory
THE NEws shall not be surprised to
find this subject the leading issue
mapped out in the message and that
it will be presented in such a shape
that all disagreements among mem
bers Of the party in congress in the
extra session will be overcome and
there will be total absence Of the
scenes Of flIibustering and time kill
ing as was witnessed then.
After finance will come the tariff
and all the pre- election theories which
brought such magnificent victories to
the party's standards. We believe
the message will be a piece Of
master work as a state paper. In its
preparation Mr. Cleveland will bring
the experience OF his former admins
tration which filed the public treasury
to overlooking and gave general pros
perity to the country. He unquss-
tionably realizes the importance and
gravity Of the situation and the def |
mite formulation Of his policies will I
be made with the greatest painstaking .

with the victories Of two preceding
elections the Iowa Democrats were
self confident and wanted to do the
impossible They wanted to break an
American rule and override all pre-.
cedents Their self confidence got
away with their better judgment Lee
at Gettysburg was so flushed with the
victories Of tie first and second days
battles that he would listen to no sug-
gestions Of his lieutenants but must
light the third day. History tells re-
suits. The Iowa democrats would
listen to no outsiders bat they must
break the charm against third terms.
They fought the battle; the result is
known, Boies ran one time too many
In New York the democratic party
did not expect, did not hope to win.
It's house was divided against itself
and therefore could not stand. A
party faction had placed a man at the
head Of the ticket who was obnoxious
and Objectionable 70 the better ele.
ment Of the party and his defeat is
nothing more and nothing less than a
yindication Of the integrity Of the
people. A defeat in New York was
one Of the expected things to the
democratic party.
In Virginia, results show a com
plete democratic victory. The race
was between Democrats and Populists.
The Republicans had no ticket in the
field. The Populists made the stand
and fight Of their life time. They
flooded the state with their best speak
ers from the east, west, north and
south and made oyertures to Repub-
licans for help, but they went
down in front Of the heavy battaliohs
Of democratic voters and, perhaps to
rise no more. Old Virginia gave the
death blow to Know Nothingism in
the south and it MAJ be she has given
it to the Populists.
In Ohio and Massachusetts, it is
claimed that the tariff issue was the
prime cause Of democratic defeat, but
this could not be because it is not
known what action the party in pow
er will take on that great issue. In
Ohio it was preliminary skirmish I
for the presidency in 1896.
Taken all together the condition Of
the country, the hard times and scar
city Of money had much to do with
the results in many states. 1t is bet
ter for the democratic party that the
blow came at the beginning Of its term
IF power than at the close. It will
rive the party an opportunity to take
Is bearings, TO note it's errors and to
profit BY them to the extent of never
