What did it? Tammanyism, pop

The Cleveland outfit must neuv,
know that YOU cannot haul down the
American flag at home and abroad

Sometimes the people make mistakes,
but thein awakening is terrible. New
York proves that it has right to
govern itself by clccting Strong and
Golf. The state proves that it WAS
robbed and not merely 'befooled Of it's
rights by the election Of Morton and
/ Saxiton. The nation proves that the
men who failed to destroy it by arms
cannot destroy it by fraud or by
crime in election. And that makes
history for twenty years tS come

The result in the state Of New York
and throughout the country Tuesday
/ shoMed that government was never
more in the hands Of the people than
hit 1is in America now.---Ncw York

In changing the complexion Of the
house Of representatives the peoples
have made themselves secure. They
arc now guaranteed three years Of
| peace, barring the little mischief the
iiftv-third congress may still be able
to achieve, and they have notified
the democratic party that its pardon
in the future depends upon its re-
pcntance and it's acts Of cXpiation.
! The American people can always be
trusted. They 1T least have not lost
heart Of government. t.-Wushington
Post Qnd.).
The party which took possession Of
the government in March. 1898, had
Il sincere popular sentiment to back
] it: it allowed that sentiment to be
batlled and betrayed and it is rcbul-
cd in the only way open to the voters
by the accession of the rival partv.---
New York Times (admin. dcm.).
The people strike hard and quickly
when they are aroused, aud nothiug'
50 strongly moves them as a palpablc
evasion or defiance of tAsir will
They still ho,ie,e that their repre-
scntatiycs are their scry3nts, and
whenever their servants forget it the
people make them feel tho lash ut
the first opportunity. The moral of
| Tuesdays election, SO far as the gen
cl@l congressional contests are con-
ccrncd. is that no party Is strong en-
Mugh to be able to trillc with the
sure that its Sin will find it out, that
popular punishment will follow hard
upon party pcrtdy and dsobcdicncc.

The people rose up in their might
and proved to the world that they
were capable Of Judging between
sense and nonsense. = Free trade was
given a death thrust and It must
forever lie under the feet Of .Amcri-
can citizcns.-Trcnton Gazette.
President Clcvcland'S administE-
tion was on trial yesterday, and the
people llnlcsitHtinglv condemned it.
They declined to accept the cowardlS
plea that the republicans did it, and
held the democratic party response
! bic for the consequences Of it's own
folly. - Baltimore American.
And SO the dc|lson Of 1890 is dis
sipatcd. and the unSpeakab]c fAlly,tf
1892 is rcpcntcd and rcpudiatco. Two
years ago the people lost their rca-
son. Fiariny and Migrant dcmogog-
ism prevailed. Cant, lnlmblg. hy-
pocriSy and craze dominated the
i hour. The fruits Of that unuttcr-
i able blundcr have been eaten in a
}" sorrow and distress unfamiliar tG
this great American nation. In
their rude and painful awakening
the people have recovered their rca-
son; and the uprising With which
they lave rspurncd and condemned
: democratic assaults pom the indus,
trial aud commercial welfare Of tho
, country is one Of the most imposing
political demonstrations in all his
