district,and not only this but actually

***
Of the result in Stevens county,t the
tabutated statement shows the election
every republican candidate on the
local ticket, good vote on the re-
publican legislative ticket,a decidedly
handsome vote in favor of Jones on
the senatorial, surprising vote for
Eddy on the congressional and an
astonishingone, all things considered,
for Nelson and the state ticket. An
analysis of the vote shows that a part
of the democrats split, the vote scat
tering and going to the populists and
republicans, the populists getting the
greater per cent. Fusion did it's part
as we predicted, to split the vote, and
it did its share in increasing the re-
publican majorities, but the strongest
reason for the surprising republican
vote is, the sentiment that the policy
and principles of republicanism, are
a known and successfully tested guam
tity, and the desire for a change from
existing unsettled conditions to fix
ed principles, caused the sweeping
gains in this and other states.
The results of Tuesdays contests,
is republican victory, the most
decisive sweeping and effective in the
history of the party. It was revo-
luton, in that it sweeps from power
in national and state affairs demo-
Gratis as well as populists and puts
New York city and state in the re-
publican ranks, also Wisconsin, Him
OILS, Indiana, Kansas, Colorado, North
and South Dakota, West Virginia,
Minnesota, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Nebraska and California, and
by majorities that range from five
thousand to two hundred thousand.
The astounding fact that New York
city swept Tammany to the wall by
ten thousand majority, and that the
state is republican by over one
hundred thousand, is an indication
that the rule of the most Infamous
political organization that ever cursed
a city or state has been swept from
power by an aroused public senti-
-ment.
The results of the avalanche are
vast in their effect, and will in the
change in our national policy, tend to
restore confidence, and by establish
ing fixed and time tried principles,
tend to the restoration of confidence.
The assurance of a safe, successful
and conservative policy will draw out
idle capital and by the spring session
of congress, new industrial and fnan-
cial conditions may be confidently ex-
pected. 1t is conceded that the
peoples party movement has met it's
waterloo, and many of the leaders
admit that it will be difficult if not |
impossible to resurrect it into any
prominence, as the reversal was so
decisive and emphatic that it practi- |
cally sets the populist theories for
ever at rest.
