can harbor with more passengers than
ever before. Wisconsin, which gave
Cleveland 1000 plurality in the last
Presidential election, dotted the ashen
sackcloth of her woe aud elected Re-
publican candidates in nearly every
township. Missouri, the Democratic.
.lazaretto of the West, begs for the
soothing sedatives and restoring tonics
of Republication in electing Republi-
can candidates in twenty out of twenty
five cities. The Republicans made a
threshing floor of Michigan, carrying
forty eight towns out of fifty five. In
North Dakota the Republican gains
were a stunning surprise to all parties.
In all the manufacturing centers of
Connecticut, where without exception
the Democracy was strongly intrench-
ed, every obstacle to Republican sue
cess was swept away with the resistless
fury of a South Sea tornado. Notably
was this the case in Hartford, where
IN revolution gave the Republicans
the city Government by a p~urality of
near 1900. Ohio, imbued with intui-
tive perceptions of right and patriotism
which are a standing jest for the Demo
cratic caricaturists and fun makers,
entered the contest like a strong man
rejoicing to run a race" Cincinnati,
overrun by Democratic thugs, DULLES
and %repeaters, gave Cleveland a plur-
atty of 1900 in '92, and a Democratic
majority of 5000 last year, now records
its verdict against the party of ruin by
a Republican plurality Of more than
5000. Cleveland rolls up a Republi,
can majority of $500, whilst the Demo.
cratic majority last year was 1900 and
in '92 ove 1000. Hamilton, where
Senator Brice an Ex-Governor Camp,

cratic party, gave its chief city office
to a Republican by a plurality of S0C
the first Republican mayor the towr
has ever had. Canton, the residence Of
Governor Mckinley and the Wanted
Democratic citadel of the State on &C.
count thereof, priced the Democracy
out by the roots and forwarded the
rotten concern to Grover Cleveland by
Coxey's army. In brief, all the import
ant towns an | large cities of the STATE
gave phenomenal and overwhelming
gains to the Republican vote.
There is no possible chance to mis-
interpret the logic or belittle the signif
icance of these expressions of the popu
lar will. In the bold relief and mag
nitude of a mountain rising from tn,
plain, they stand out in condemnation
OF the schemes of industrial devasta
ton embodied in the Wilson bill. Ever
