EICE-PREsGDENT STEvENsoN.-
Hon. Adlai +. Stevenson, Vice
President, when asked to state his
opinion as to the causes leading up
to the democratic defeat of yester-
day, he said:
MY opinion can be briefly stated.
The result IS due in part 20 the
financial depression which came
upon the country soon after the
Inauguration of Mr.. Cleveland.
While the democrats were in no
way responsible for this, they were
made the scapegoats. 1t was also
in part due to the delay of Congress
in passing the tariff bill. Had the
bill become law ninety days earlier
than it die. ut is qaite probaisIstllat
the business conditions of the coun-
try would have so adjusted them
selves that the political result would
have been different
