Oh Mama.

We have i'll this city renegade poll

scribblIngs-and had he any. would
throw in his soul and principles-to
any party or faction that first applies.
FOR years he was a Republican, but
about year ago he became editor of
the Morning Leader. For some time
after this it was difficult to tell wheth-

times really appeared to be of the
democratic stripe, but never more so
than on Wednesday morning when it
or they announced the result of the
elections. For the great upheaval of
tuesday the paper contained nine
small head lines, occupying two inches
of space.
But we did not think much of this
as we could not expect a democrat to
feel very Jubilant over those returns.
put We found richness simmered down
when we turned to the editorial page.
We read four lines and then had to

ana silly what we read waS) for any
thing. But as this editorial explana
ton of the vote of Tuesday has 10 par
allel on record, We will give it in full,
as follows:
The reelection OF William Mckinley by a
decisive majority To be governor of Ohio in
dicates nothing whatever of a political ma
ture.
In Ohio Ohio men are always for an Ohio
man. 1t was well understood during the en-
tire campaign that IL Mckinley should be re-
elected by strong majority he would stand
good show to be the republican candidate
for president in 1896
Hence in that state yesterday the peoplo
with small regard for the tariff or silver. or
business depression. or political principles
voted for Mckinley-yoted not for "A repub-
Hcan or democrat but for an Ohio man for
1870 MAJ Mckinley is very popular man
ana would command an almost equally big
vote upon either ticket. For him the cleo
tlon Is a proud personal victory.
In New York the slaughter OF Judge May

seat in the United States senate for David H.
hill Joined with the republicans for pure
and bipartisan bench. All honor to them.
AS the whole desperate three months
fight has been on the national question
OF Tariff as taught by William Mckin-
ley, and the Republican party, and
Free Trade as taught by Grover Cleve-
land and the Democratic party, it is
rather difficult to see why the election
III Ohio had no bearing whatever upon
politics.
Then the rest of the article, how
weak and silly it is One would sup
pose that Mr.. Neal, Maj Mckinley's
opponent was not an Ohio man, but
some "blarSted fUrriner" run Tor the
occasion, and got beat for that reason
alone. Then he winds up with trying
to convey the idea that it was not the
Republicans who carried New York,
but Democrats who voted against their
own party. No doubt good many
respectable Democrats who did not
wish to see thief placed upon the SUI
prcme bench of that great state voted
the Republican ticket last Tuesday,
but it was a Republican victory all the
same.
And here he drops the question leav-
ing the reader to suppose that these
two states were all that held elections
that day. Oh, mama, did you ever see
such a ninny?
