MRS. WAITE DISCUSSED.

That Gave Them the Ballot.

DENVER, Colo, November 13.-
In an interview published to-day
Mrs. Waite, wife of the Governor,
who was one of the foremost women
in advocating equal suffrage before
the Legislature, said that she was
disguised with the result of the
Acknowledgement of the women.
1.-The conduct of the women of
Capitol Hill, both before and after
the election" she said, "has been
perfectly s~candalous. They have
simply gone and cut the throat of
the party that gave them the right
to vote, and have disgraced their
womanhood. The Governor op-
poses the enfranchisement OF women
as much as | do, now. [ don't
think he is absolutely against giving
them the right to vote in other States,
bat he thinks that they should re-
ceive some education in citizenship
before they get the full privilege OF
American citizenship"

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The estimate of a tie IN the State
Senate, based upon incomplete re-
turns indicates that the Republicans
have elected eleven members of the
Senate, who will hold over and will
participate in the election Of the
next Senator from Missouri.
This substantial nucleus OF
strength assured the Republicans in
the Senatorial contest will make the
task of electing a Democratic Sena-
tor to succeed Senator Vest a diff
cult one. The Democrats will have
TO overcome a majority of six hold
overs i'll the Senate and wipe out q
majority Of not less than fifteen in
the lower House.
The next Senatorial campaign
must be fought cut on live issues.
The next Senator must win his cleo.
ton from the people by a vigorous
contest on a oound popular plat
form. The popular nomination OF
the Senatorial canidate will be an

GOV. STONES REASONS.
Attributes the Republican Victory in
Missouri 10 Democratic apathy.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch

AANA4 ~ A~'t-9 A'h
When seen at the Laclede during
tine morning and asked to what
causes he attributed the recent de-
feat of the Democratic party in the
State, Gov. Stone replied: There
can be no question as to the cause
of our defeat in this State. 1t is
simply due to the large vote that
was not polled. | am firmly con-
WINGED that fully % or 80 per cent
of the Democratic voters in theState
did not present themselves al the
polls on election day. In all the
large Democratic counties the re-
turns show a falling of of from COG
to 1900 Democratic votes from
those polled at the pre-
yious election. In Lafayette county
alone noticed a shrinkage of be-
tween LOO and 1900 Democratic
votes from the vote cast there two
years ago, while the Republican vote
was only about 100 short and the
Populist vote was about the same.
The probable auses that prompted
these voters to remain at home have
been stated times without number,
and | cannot advance any new the
ory which led them to pursue such
a course
In speaking about BANDS defeat
1.-THE Governor said: "His downfall
is due to the same cause, viz. apathy
and difference on the part of voters,
which kept them away from the
polls. There are enough Demo
Gratis in his district to elect him by
$500 majority, and l will venture
to say that fully SO per cent of the
voters who stayed at home were for
him.
1.-The only thing for the Demo,
Gratis in the State to 90 now is tc
liven up and get out into the coun'
try and awaken q little enthusiasm
in the minds of the voters. II We
do that and can get the Democrats
to pull together and cast their votes
our success in 1896 is assured"

Colurnbia, Mo.
Sherman on the Tariff.
From the Kansas City Star

In speaking of the great Republi-
can victory Senator Sherman says:
II do not regard the present result
as an Endorsement of the Mckinley
bill or 4 demand on the part of the
people for radical tariff legislation.
| hardly believe the party will enter
into any extreme legislation of this
kind"
II the expression of this opinion
it is believed that Mr.. Sherman re-
fleets the sentiments of a large ma
jority of the Republican voters Of the
country. In rebuking the weak and
yacillating policy of the Democrats
in Congress the people have not sig
nifed a desire for the restoration of
the Mckinley schedule. If the Re-
publicans in the new House are
guided by wise and prudent coun
sells, they will not attempt to re-
establish the oppressive duties which
caused the overthrow of their party
in 1892. That would be turning
back the hands of the clock.
Mr.. Sherman calls attention to the
fatal blunder which the Republicans
committed in 1890, when they bad
control of all branches of the Gcv-
ernment. They went to an absurd
extreme on the tariff question, and
enacted a law which prohibited COM
petition and increased the price of
the n~ecessaries Of life. The party
paid dearly for that mistake. 1t was
defeated by an overwhelming ma
jor1ty in 90, and the Mckinley bill
was directly responsible for that re-
suit.
The people have net changed their
mind in regard to that measure. The
dissatisfaction with the new tariff
| law arises from the fact that it failed
to remit the duties on a number of
articles which ought to have been
placed on the free list, and its enact.
ment was so tardy is to subject the
country to a protracted period Of
suspense and uncertainty. The Re-
publicans in the Fifty-Fourth Con-
gress should not make any error in
interpreting the meaning of the re-
cent Democratic Waterloo. If they
construe it as a call for the imposi-
ton of increased duties on raw ms-
teriai and on those commodities
which ought to be made as cheap to
the consumer as fair competition
will allow, the next Congressional
election will reveal quite as much of
a turning over as the recent land
slide.
Senator Sherman is a statesman
of ripe experience and is a close and
intelligent observer of public events.
He is by common consent the ablest
man in the Republican organization
to-day, and his party would far bet
ter follow his sensible and conserva-
tive advice than to pay heed to the
views of an extremist like Mckinley
who knows nothing but the tariff
and only one side of that.

THE Democratic party in its en-
deavor to s'broaden'' its platform SO
as to catch Populists and other rain
bow chssers and improve the chance
OF some of its politicians to get Office
has perhaps lost more votes than it
gained. You can take the Germans,
who are among our most substantial
and prosperous citizens. Many OF
them refused 10 vote the Democrat
ic ticket because they claim its
platform is not conservative enough
on the money question. The Dem.
ocratic party represents principle and
should continue to do 30 st all times
and in all places. The platform the
Democrats adopted in Chicago in
1892 was a sound one. The party
swept the entire country standing on
that platform. About a year after
