The LATE ELECTIONS.
How They Are Viewed by the Prese OF the
Country.

How They Are Viewed by the Prese OF the
Country.
New York Recorder, Republican: 1t
i is settled, in short, that the Repuoll-
can party will have the inside track Oh
| the presidential race course in 1886.
New York Times, Mugwump: The
Democrats have been punished because
the policy of the party has not been
fairly carried out, but has been dwar-
fed, bupgled, and betrayed by portion
of the elected representatives of the
people.
New York Press, Republican: Mr..
Cleveland's duck hunt was great sue
cess. His blunderbuss did effective
work. The country to-day Is full OF
| Democratic dead ducks, and the man
in the white house brought a good
many of them down himself.
st. Louis Republic, Democrat: For
| 1896 we must understand that New
| York ill settle its own quarrels and
| wash its own linen. 1t is the west that
naturally belongs to US and that we
must have. The motto for the next
great campaign Is: A western man or
| bust.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Re-
publican: What does the country think
Of a political party that, under the guise
of tariff reform, parslyzed business and
started to increase the public debt at
the rate of hundred millions 8 year?
You eau read the answer in the election
returns this morning.
New Orleans Times-Democrat, De.
mocrat: First and most important Of
all, it was panic year. Business is de-
pressed, trade dull, prices low. EverJ-
body feels the hard times and large
proportion of the people are disposed
to hold the party in power responsible
for it, or at least responsible for not
giving them relief.
New York Herald, independent:
Remembering Governor Flowers ma
jorlty two years ago, it will not be wise
ior the Republican managers to imagine
that they have been given free hand
tor partisan purposes. The same elec-
tors who turned down. the Demo-
Gratis yesterday will repudiate the Re-
publicans two years hence if they de-
serve 1t.
Baltimore Sun, Democrat: The mo-
raj of yesterdays election, rs far IS the
general congressional contests are con-
cerned, is that no party is strong enough
to be able to trifle with the people with
impunity. It may be sure that its sin
will find it out, that popular punish
inent will follow hard upon party peril
dy and disobeoience.
Wilmington Messenger, Democrat:
The election is over. 1t is good time
TO do some plain talking. Henceforth it
is the duty of the Democratic party to
take care of itself and to make its next
fight on the line of q white mans gov
ernment. 1t is useless to try to concili-
ate or draw the negroes by acts of kind
ness or by appropriations of the pubic
moneys fsr their benefit.
New York Advertiser, Republican:
Finally, the victory means that from
the lakes to the gulf and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific we should give
thanks for the downfall of the Demo-
cratic party and all it stands for, and
the triumph Of protection, law, order,
good government and all that makes
for the glory of the natioo. The De-
Inocratic party is indeed dead. And it
cannot be born again. "Praise GOO
from whom all blessings flow"
Philadelphia American, Republican:
The victory of yesterday, sweeping,
tar-reaching and comprehensive, was
an American triumph! It was the re-
assertion in emphatic tones of the
American devotion to American free
schools, to an American free ballot, to
one, and only one, American flag to
float over American possessions, and to
the American doctrine of giving Amer
lean wages to American workingmen!
New York Sun, Democrat: DeaTer
than ever is David B. Hill to the un-
terrified, weariless, indomitable De-
mocracy of New York! He has made
the greatest political fight witnessed ia
this land since Andrew Jackson en-
countered and defeated the United
States bank and the money power,
more than half a. century ago. He has
made it disinterestedly, heroically, un-
compromisingly. He has proved him
self the bravest, ablesC and steadiest
champion of Democratic ideas and
policies. He has established himself as
the true chief of the national Demo
cratic party.
New York Recorder, Republican,:
The main cause for the large Republi-
can gains, aside from the influences Of
the local contests in the State of New
York, was the natural disposition to
lay the blame for all the losses of the
recent financial panic upon the party
in power. Undoubtedly the DeGoocra-
cy, with its unwieldly majority in the
present house, made many blunders;
but there is every reason to believe that
the business depression was the main
cause of the popular displeasure, al
though that depression is justly attribut-
able to the acts of the celebrated Reed
Mckinley Congress.
Louisville Courier-Journal, Demo-
crat: For an entire year, it has been
perceptible to the close observer Of
passing events that the Democratic
party was marching through slaughter
house, and yesterday it seems to have
stepped into the open grave that yawn-
ed to receive it. There is little likeli-
hood that it will be resurrected thence
until it has had new birth of integrity
and courage and a thorough reorganiza-
ton. TO this complexion have less
than two years Of incapable leadership
reduced great army and noble cause
that, upon lines of conviction, swept
the country iu 1890 and 1892.
New York World, Democat: Every
democrat must regret that leaders for
whom he may feel almost personal
affection share the condemnation
visited by the party at large on its lead
ership. That is the most lamentable
feature of what is not otherwise q
crushing Democratic defeat. In spite
IF that, however, every Democrat can
feel gratitied that, regardless of tempo
Iary cosideratiops of party, the people,
animated by the Democratic instinct,
have shown themselves the governing
power in the country; that they
have made it once more apparent how
much greater they are than any great
nan or any number of great men, than
any autocrIt, any senate, any MACHINE.
New York Tribune, Republican: This
is victory due almost wholly to the
werkingmen and the manufacturers of
the country, who know, better than
any politician can tell, how their busi-
