Apparently the election promises a gen.
eral mix up and confusion in those sections
of the country where the advocacy of free
silver and populistic notions prevail, while
in the conservative districts In the country
the republicans will make gains, even
though in some cases these districts are or
dinariy democratic. The defeat Of ONeil
of Massachusetts for denomination, while
brought about by simply an ordinary
rivalry within his own party, has some
significance in this, that he is a great adj
vocate of the policy which contemplates the
maintenance of conservative principles
through the adherence to and domination
of the democratic party by eastern men,
The repeal of the Sherman law was an ex-
ample of the application of this policy and
some of the features of the tariff bill were
colored by 1t. 1t Is evident enough, however.
to even the democrats themselves, that the
eastern conservative element feel that in
the repeal of the Sherman law they have
secured about all they can expect to secure
from the democratic party, and that they
can no longer hope to exercise much in
fluence In that organization, in the face Of
the restlessness and impetuosity Of the
radicals, who are clamorous for the con-
troll which their numerical strength In the
party organization entities them to.
