IN '96.
[Napa Register
The elections all over the country Tues
day indicate the election of Republican
President III 1896.
FOUND WANTING.
Los Angeles Times.I
Two years ago the Democratic party was
carried into power upon the crest of a
tidal wave" of popular misapprehen-
sion. The Democratic victory was won
upon false pretenses. BY a concerted syS-
tenn of misrepresen tatiou the people were
made to believe that they needed a change
OF administration. They voted for a
change, and got it. The disastrous re-
suits Of that change are known of all
men. A victory thus won upon false pre-
lenses is necessarily short-lived. The
people have discovered the falsity of Dem
ocratic pretenses. Tho mask has been
torn off. The Democracy has been tried
and found wanting.
HOW IT SHOWED.
Los Angeles Times.l
The Populsts alleged that the wires
were stuffed" Their only comfort was
found in Connecticut where it was AL
legged storm had, perhaps, defeated an
election by preventing the casting of IA
majority vote. Any sort of IL storm was,
To them, shelter when compared with an
avalanche of snow. Gods! how it did
come down.
CONSOLATION.
Los Angeles Heraldl
Notwithstanding all the efforts of the
Repu blican calamity hoWlers, back ed up
by the inclination which many voters
have for holding the party in power re-
SpOnsIble for whatever of business de-
preston may exist during its control of
the relns OF government, the result of this
election, when compared with the tre-
| mendous protest which the people made
against the Mckinley bill two years ago
by giving the Democratic party the
largest majority ever held by party in
the House of Representatives, is baga-
telle.
NO USE FOR SUCH.
Oakland Times.
If this has not been clean campaign
the sweep is sufficiently clean. .
If Governor Altgeld had made few
|
have had any votes at all in Illinois.
This country has no use for anything
that squints at anarchy and mob rule.
THE RESULT.
| Marysville Democrat
! The result of the election in this State
| means something more than the choice
of a Governor and State officers. 1t means
the Endorsement of the principles OF pro-
lection TO the industries of this State and
a mr. IN he
instrumentality of Republican Con-
gress. which through wise and safe legis-
lation will restore confidence.
STRONGLY INTRENCHED.
Tulare Register.l
| Topics feels sure that, despite a few
walls which will come up from certain
| places and papers, the Australian ballot
! system will be more strongly intrenched
| in the hearts of the people than ever, and
it has come to stay. The purity of cleo
| tons law has not Jared so we'll and a few
convictions will be needful to give it
| effect. The hands of honorable men are
| tied by it while unprincipled men get
| around its provisions easily enough.
This only proves that the law will not
enforce itself and that it will have to be
supported by an active public sentiment
or 1t Will avail nothing whatever.
ASK FOR jim.
[Stockton MALL
| Mr.. Budd will make an exemplary
Governor. All that the Mat said during
| the campaign that he would do if elected
| he may be relied upon to perform He
owes allegiance to no boss or combina-
! ton, and he will be Governor of the
people. When you go to Sacramento to
see him you will not have TO stand half
an hour with your hat in your hand,
waiting for some lackey to let you in; all
| you will have to do is to say you want to
see Jim, and. if your cause is Just and the
| purpose OF your visit in all ways straight,
| the door will open for you and Jim will
have the same greeting for you that he
always has for friends.
NO SYMPATHY.
TChico Chronicle Record
While the Democratic party will regret
its defeat in New York there will be no
feeling of sympathy for Hill personally.
A very large percentage OF his own party
| outside of the Empire State have look ed
upon him as traitor, and have had no
use for him politically since he knitted
Cleveland in 1888. His treatment on
Tuesday is simply case of retributiye
| justice.
HE INSULTS DECENT PEOPLE.
Woodland Democratl
The Governor of Illinois seems bent
upon insulting the decent people of that
State upon every occasion and any pre-
text, purely out OF dislike to decency.
His latest performance is one that ought
to invigorate the opposition of decent
citizens to him. and that is likely to do
so. 1t was the free pardon of one of the
most notorious criminals of Chicago, and
a criminal, moreover, who was not an
anarchist in particular, but just a COM
mon thief and murderer, guilty, accord
Ing to one jury. OF an attempted train
robbery. OF murderous assault, and finally
of burglary, for which, under the Habit
ual Criminals Act, he was sentenced to
imprisonment for twenty-five years. 1t
was this sentence from which the Gov
ernor who disgraces Illinois relieved him
by pardon.
