The enormous falling off in the DEM

The great victory secured by the reform
ers IN New York City ought to have been
mentioned in the Thanksgiving procIa-
NATION. Perhaps it would If it had come
earlier. 1t gives the assurance so much
needed that there is an active recuper-

great cities.

VICE-PREsIDENT STEVENSON.
BLOOMINGTON Gill;, Nov. Hon. 4.
h. Stevenson, Vice President. spent the
entlre day in seclusion at the home of
ms brother, John Stevenson, in this city.
Mr.. Stevenson, when asked to state his
opinion as to the causes leading up TO the
democratic defeat of yesterday, said:
Ny opinion can be briefly stated The
result Is due, In part, to the financial de-
preston which came upon the country
soon alter the Inauguration of Mr.. Cleve-
Iahd. While the Democrats were in no
way responsible TOR this, they were made
the scapegoats. 1t was also in part due
10 the delay of Congress in passing the
tarl1 Dill. Had the bill become a law
ninety days earlier than it did, it~is pos
slbie that the business conditions of the
country would have so adjusted them
serves tnat the political result would have
been different"
MI. Stevenson will depart from Bloom
lngton this week for Asheville, n. c.,
Wnefe he Will join his family, who are
soJournlng there. He will remain in the
South three weeks, going thence to
Washington.
GOVERNOR MKINLEY.
CoLUMBUs (O.), Nov. 7.-Governor Nc
hlnley was in his office early, consider
ing mat he was out most of last night
receiving election returns. Being asked
what he thought about the situation he
preferred not to talk. He would only
say: Ihe sweeping Republican victor
les indicated at this hour are impressive.
1hey need no Interpretation. They ex-
press better than words the revised and
delberate Judgment Of the people upon
the public questions involved in the po-
AtlcaI contest now closed"
GOVERNOR WAITE.
DENVER, Nov. 7.-Goveruor Waite con-
ceded the defeat OF his party to-day. "To
my mind" he said, sit proves conclu
slvely that the money power has been
dominating this election from beginninn
to end, and the Democratic party is most
responsible from the fact that they voted
the Republican ticket instead OF their
own. l made up my mind several wears
ago that there was only one way to rescue
the country from the conditions now ex-
listing, and Tor which the money power is
responsible, and that was to light them
tooth and nail. Consequently [ have
never made any bones of declaring my
opinion OF their course: and advocating
that the controlling power which thew
have exercised over all legislation be de-
Stroyed. L believe that the influence of
" all street must be removed from Con-
gress.
The result in Colorado can be account
eu lof from the TACT that the democrats
nave almosC to u man voted for the Re-
publican ticket. 1t proves to me that
there is absolutely no difference in the
financial policy of the Democratic and
Republican parties.
Colorado Democrats undoubtedly
voted the Repu blican ticket on account of
orders received from WASHINGTON Tt
was the same in New York. While the
Democrats there may not have received
explicit orders, there is no doubt but that
their conduct was influenced largely by a
secret understanding existing between
the leaders. The purpose was to per-
petuate and continue the gold standard
for which Wall street has been contend
ing so earnestly"
When asked if he thought the Populist
party would ever regain power, the Gov
ernor said: II believe it will, but it NAV
not be for some time. l do not know
exactly how it will be done. 1 think we
will have to do it right over their heads.
however. advocate this being done in
peaceable manner. if possible-a peaceful
revolution. o. course, l believe the bal
let is the proper method to be EMPLOYED.
But this has not proved efficacious in this
State.'
