What the Republican Papers Say of the
 Victory.
DEMOCRACY DowNED.

Victory.
 DEMOCRACY DowNED.
 "It is stupendous and glorious victory. All over the country outside of the old slave re- zion the republicans have made wonderful gains. East of the Alleghenies, in the Mfssis- sippi valley and in the Rocky mountain locality the republicans are triumphant. Republican majorities which have hitherto stood as high water marks have been surpassed, and districts which for decades have been democratic have been captured by the republicans. The republic an wave which startedln ls93grows steadily and rapidly higher and higher. Democracy, tried by it's brief period of sway after generation of exclusion from power, has repeated it's old blunders and iniquities, and has been struck down. Once more the republicans forge to the front The spirit of 1860 has returned to the republican party, and again 1t is enthusiastio and invincible "-St Louis Globe Democrat
 Business Men Relieved.
 'American manufacturers and merchants and business men generally will draw long breath of relief They are safe from molesta- tion during the next congress. They can go on with their business without fear of destructive tarif changes in the near future They will feel that they do not have to wade through two moro years of strikes and every other form of industrial discontent. And seeins that the workingmen are alive to their real interests this year the business men have reason to hope that those workingmen will show equal good sense two years hence.
 ''The democrats have had their day. They have had their swing for two years. They have been given chance to show how thor oughly they know the arts of government. The experiment has satisfied the country that wise ruling is not the forte of the democracy and that the party should resnme it's old post of critic and censor of the republicans The democrats have plunged the country into a panic. They have given 1t surfeit of hard times. With what face can they after what they have done ask to be given again the con- trol Of the general government Let them be satisfied with bossing Georgia and the other cotton states Chicago Tribune.
 What the Election Meant.
 Tt Is the nations vote Of confidence in tn, superior governing and directing qualities of the republican party.
 Tt is the direct assertion by the people that, in placing the democratic party in con- trol in 1892. they had no intention of signifying their desire that our industrial system should be reyolutlonized by a war upon the protective system in the interest of foreign manufacturers and foreign workmen.
 Tt is a strong and emphatic condemnation of the silly utopianism. the dangerous financial theories, the utter impotency as a governing power, of populism, and notice that tt will not be tolerated in Minnesota or any other state.
 It is a direct notice to the democratic party that 1t has been tried after thirty-three years Of enforced retirement and has been found wanting, and that it will not again be trusted until 1t loses its persistent grip upon exploded fallacies and becomes altogether in accord with the progressive instincts of the American people.
 It was great victory. The American peo- pie always resent any attempt to put them on the back track. They instinctively return to the republican party when anything goes wrong They do this because they know that the enormous material progress and the bet terment of social conditions, and the remark able development Of our resources are the out come of republican policies, and that the pub lie credit has been maintained by that party. The preintimations Of this great uprising were seen in the elections in Maine. in Vermont, in Pennsylvania. in Oregon, and wherever the people have in the past year had a chance to vote Minneapolis Journal
 A sweeping Victory.
 Tt was a landslide. The inconsiderate yer dict of ls9. was reversed with a whoop. Two years ago the republicans lost Illinois by se,- 993, Indiana by 7l25, New York by 45,5s Wis consin by 6,54i, and saved Ohio only by a nar- row margin of I072 republican plurality. Yes- terday every state was reclaimed, Illinois by 7OOJO, Indiana by 50.0J), New York by l5OO0O, Wisconsin by bOOOJ, Colorado by 2O.OOO Ohio increased her great republican majority of last year and Michigan, Massachusetts and Iowa their maiorittes of two years ago.
 . Two years ago the republicans elected only l27 of the 355 members Of congress and lost the legislatures in enough states to give the demo- crats control Of the senate. Yesterday they regained nearly every lost republican district and carried many of the strongest democratic districts by large majorities, defeating Wilson in West Virginia, and invading several demo cratic strongholds in the south
 The republican tidal wave seems to have in- yolved more or less all the states holding elec- tions, increasing republican majorities in re- publican districts and decreasing or wiping out democratic majorities In democratic states.
 It is great victory, and as significant as it is great. It means that the people, having tried the democratic party with full power, repudiate national and state administrations, and give the republican party a new vote of confidence It means repudiation of free trade and free-trade methods. and ringing n- dorsement of protection and other fundamental principles Of republicanism. It is repudia- tion Of Tammany in New York and Chicago and promise of better things in the munich pal, state and national affairs. Chicago Inter Ocean.
