OF Mondays election the Oregonian (R.)
will say: The result is due to two causes.
First, and N ost largely, to the dread Of all
1
legislation and administration. Their
dread defeated the efforts of fusion be-
tween Popuists and Democrats. kept a
third ticket in the field, and drew thou
sands Of Democrats to the Republican
ticket.
The second cause was less patent, but
is BILE in the profound change made in
large wool-growing counties. which alsc
were deeply infected with the Populist
craze. Some Of these counties. heretofore
Democratic, now are thoroughly Repub
lican upon the State and Congressional
ii cket, while some of them elect Populis
county officers. Some of this change, NJ
doubt, is due to discomfort with the tariff
policy of the administration. On tha
issue, as well as on Populism, the Demo
Gratis have broken party ties to vote theil
economic convictions.
