Republicanism's Sweeping Victory

Republicanism's Sweeping Victory.
Sufficient returns have been received
at this hour-midnight-to justify the
confidence with which the Republican
party this year appealed to the people.
Not only has New York grandly re-
deemed herself from Democratic mis-
rule, with its allied municipal evil of
Tammany debauchery; not only has
Pennsylvania sustained it's February
premonition of a day Of wrath to come
but at this moment there seems to be
little doubt that "Sir" William Wilson
is beaten in his own West Virginia
district and the most sanguine Repub-
lican estimate as to the probable re-
demption of congress more than full
filed.
The astonishing thing about this cleo
| ton is not that the result should be as
ii is, but that there should have been at
any time even a momentary doubt of
the result. When entrusted with power
two years ago, the Democratic party
had majority and an opportunity such
as are seldom accorded to an American
political party. Its utter and disas-
trous failure condemned it beyond hope
of reparation or scope of apologize eX-
| PLANTATION. Not only did it fail but the
magnitude of it's failure was such as to
drive its own Democratic president into
words Of burning reproach, followed
later by condition Of silent disgust
and stubborn despair.
To appeal to the people in the face of
such a record was folly most dire. Not
an argument could be advanced which
eminent Democrats had not themselves
refuted. Not a position could be as
sumed which eminent Democrats had
not themselves repudiated. The one
recourse left to Democracy's campaign
ers was to plead good intentions for the
future and try TO misrepresent the
other side. The collapse of such a can
vass is scarcely surprising. The only
thing that appeals to curiosity is the
query what deception game the Demo-
Gratis will attempt next.

tisan newspapers, for an obvious pur-
pose, tried to magnify this upward
movement into an Endorsement of the
Wilson tariff; but the intelligence of
the country was not fooled, 1t knew
full well that the Wilson tariff was only
compromise, a momentary truce
which Democracy, if Reimbursed, would
instantly break in it's avowed intention
to carry on the war" The revival
that has occurred up to this time was
a practical expression of American
business mems faith in the good judg-
ment of the majority; an earnest of
their profound conviction that the
masses had had enough loss enough
experiment, and would vote unmistak-
ably for economic security and peace.
Now that that good faith has been
so thoroughly vindicated, it will be in
the power Of every American citizen to
accelerate the revival, by putting aside
dependency over past losses and
going at the visible business opportuni-
ties with renewed energy, enterprise
and good cheer. The wholesome innu-
ence of sweeping Republican victory
cannot undo the past errors and the
past losses; but it can inspire to re-
neWed vim, vigor and victory. The pro-
| cess of recovery will necessarily be
slow. Commercial convalescence will,
under the best of circumstances, take
time and patience. But by united and
persistent effort with Tuesdays vote
as an incentive and an encouragement,
the net result ought soon to appear in
the form of renewed employment at
remunerative wages and restored
profits to invested capital.

What Of the Tariff d?

Ihe election yesterday of q Republi-
can house of national representatives
means nothing if it does not mean that
the business interests of this country
are to be protected from further agi-
tation, doubt and uncertainty. For two
years at least no radical changes can
be made in the existing tariff. Until
Republican executive shall in 1897 sue
ceed Grover Cleveland it will be vain to
expect important departures from the
present revenue law. During this time,
business will have readjusted itself to
the new conditions, pinched consump-
tion will again expand and a moderate
degree of industrial and commercial
prosperity may be expected to material
ize in some more tangible form than in
the columns of the Democratic partisan
newspapers.
Any extreme predictions or intentions
must, therefore, be literally discounted.
1t is plain to be seen that a manifest
majority of the American people do not
want free trade. Neither do they
want such an adjustment of the tariff
schedules as confers prosperity only in
spots, leaving the great bulk of the
country still crippled and handicapped
while the mills and factories of our
foreign competitors are busy shipping
| us goods. The American people will
never permanently consent to a tariff
| policy which does not keep our home
mills active and our home labor en-
ployed, The only revolt that they have
ever made was from what they feared
was monopolistic and excessive tariff
which, they were led to believe, would
centralize its greatest benefits in the
hands Of comparatively few. The
Mckinley tariff may have been this
kind of a tariff or it may not. Opinion
still widely differs on this point, even
among protectionists. But in any event
the Mckinley tariff is a thing of the
past. 1t could not be re-enacted even
| if Republicans so desired; and it proba-
bly, would be re-enacted, had they COM
| plete power, only after careful revision
and substantial modification in the d-
rection of lowered average duties.
The tariff Of the future, then, will in
our judgment be reached gradually and
conservatively, and not radically nor
in a manner to again unsettle all the
foundations of stable trade 1t will
cover the difference in the cost of labor
in this country and the cost of competi-
tive labor abroad. 1t will put every
legitimate home industry in a position
where it can look its foreign rival
Gquarely and fairly in the face. But il
will not do more than this. 1t will not
try to achieve the impossible by seeking
to revolutionize the worldwide opera

The County Result.

While at the hour of this writlng-1 a.
m.-the returns were as yet incomplete,
and coming in slowly, sufficient data
had nevertheless appeared to indicate
the election OF the entire Republican
ticket, by majorities considerably above
those cast for Harrison, Jackson, Fell,
and Edwards.
Upon the basis of last years vote,
Judge Archibald has apparently been
reelected by a plurality ranging any
where from 500 to 800: while Clemons
for sheriff will, at the present ratio, be
nearly if not equally as strong. Repre-
sentative Scranton is reelected by
1900 to 1000; and Jones defeats Kelly
for district attorney by nearly 1900
The vote for treasurer is close, with the
chances favoring Davies by a small
plurality-probably less than 500. The
remaining Republican candidates are
elected by from 500 to 1900, the latter
figure apparently representing Pro-
thonotary Pryors plurality.
On the Legislative ticket Vaughan de-
feats Mcdonald for Senator by a hand
some margin; Representative Farr is
reelected over Benson Davis by an i'm
mense plurality in the First; Alexander
Connell has wiped out Quinnan's plu-
rality in the Second; the stanchly Re-
publican Third goes more heavily Re-
publican than ever; and in the Fourth,
Charles p. O'Malley defeats Michael
Turnover Burke by 100 to 300, a magnif-
cent gain, all the circumstances con-
sidered
The result as a whole is a significant
tribute to cleanliness in political war
fare, and a wholesome reassertion of
Lackawanna's traditional fealty to
honest protection.

Witnessed by n Large Audience at

Witnessed by Large Audience at the
Academy of Music.
A great audience filled the Academy
of Music last night to witness the pro-
duction af Reilly and the 400 by Ed
ward Harrigan and his company. The
piece can hardly be placed in any of the
usual divisions of stage productions,
1t is form of drama that, throughout,
borders closely on farce.
1t deals with types of New York char
acters, and, while most of them are
greatly overdrawn. they are in nearly
every instance amusing. The pathos
and coloring of real life that Mr.. Har-

An Instructive Example.

If John II. Fellows had possessed his
soul in patience after his fair defeat for
the Republican congressional nomina-
ton, he might have remained q factor
in Lackawanna politics. There was
something plucky, and almost heroic
in his canvass for that nomination.
Notwithstanding the foolish breaks
which characterized the candidates s
own conduct Of his campaign.
But. once defeated, he chose to play
the part of an migrate and bolter. His
consultations with the Democracy, his
illiterate letters threatening the sue
cessful nominees with vengeance, swift
and dire, and his whole peevish and
sulky attitude speedily disgusted the
following that he had managed to ac-
quire, until now, in this happy day of
general Republican triumph, there is
none so poor as to do him reverence.
The Tribune does not wish to pursue
Mr.. Fellows, but it's duty as a Republi-
can newspaper now compels it to allude
to the impressiveness of his example.
Mr.. Fellows today represents about the
sorriest spectacle that we know of
punctured egotism. baflled party treach-
cry and repudiated leadership. His eX-
perience should serve as vivid warn
ing against that most fatal of political
diseases the swelled head.

proof that deep down in the American
heart there beats sure and true cur
rent of veneration for the pure govern
ment of our fathers and a consuming
wrath for the audacious despoilers who
practice venality for private gain.
In such q view, even the interesting
personality of Hill, with all its marvel
lous resources of ambition, magnetism
and political cunning, sinks into insig-
nificance beside the aroused justice of
our foremost state.
