CHARGED TO THE MONEY POWER.
Governor Waite of Colorado Con-
cedes His Party's Defeat.

DENVER. Nov. 7.-Governor Waite

day; ITO my mind" he said, ''it proves
conciusively that the money power

ocratic party is not response

their own. 1 made up my mind several
years ago that there was only one way
to rescue the country from conditions now
existing. and for which the money power
is responsible, and that was to fight 1t.
Consequently 1 have never made any
bones of declaring that the controlling

70 me that there is absolutely no difference
In the financial policy Of the democratic
and republican parties. Colorado demo-
Gratis undoubtedly voted the republican
ticket on account Of orders received from
Washington. IL was the same in New
York. While the democrats there may not

German Has Little to SAY.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9-Senator Arthur
p. German was seen at his home near
Laurel yesterday by a representative of
the American. The senator is improving
in health and seemed in good spirits He
said, when asked as to the causes of
the democratic defeat, that he had not
been paying any attention 10 politics since
the adjournment of the senate, but that
he had been devoting the time to getting
we'll and was in much better condition
than he had been for some time. He said
that the causes Of the defeat were various,
and it was hard TO tell what particular
thing was most influential. He thought
that in political matters az in battle men
run for no particular cause. In some
cases, he added, the cause was a local
one and not due to anything the demo-
cratic party had done. The causes which
existed in 1892 when the republicans We're
defeated continue now, whatever they
We're, and the democratic party was suf-
fering from the action OF the people just
as the republicans had done at that cleo
ton. He did not think the defeat Of the
democratic party would be lasting, but
that everything would be all right after
a while. The senator does not seem to be
very much depressed with the result, be-
IeVing it only temporary.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 9-The
Hon. William D. Bynum Of Indiana ar
rived in the city today. When asked for
his opinion of the cause of his own and
his party's defeat in the election, ne said:
''It is absurd to attribute such a revo-
luton to a change in the minds of the
people upon political questions. Upon
questions Of principle such sudden and
radical changes do not take place. The
anti-free silver and conservative tariff
representatives as wei as the advocates
Of free coinage and a radical revision OF
the tariff. went down alike, before the
same irresistible influence. The result
was not an acceptation Of the principles
and politics Of the republican party.
Every person who has observed the
condition Of public sentiment for the last
few years has noted the restlessness, upon
the part Of the great masses Of the people,
and a disposition to hold the party in
power responsible for the misfortunes that
have come upon us. We have had many
peaceful revolutions within the asst ten
years, and we may congratulate ourselves
that the dissatisfied elements have, thus
far. been content with their efforts to
strike down the ruling party. Within
four years they have twice dethroned the
republican and once the democratic party.
To say that the people are so tickle
minded about the question upon which the
two great pan ties have divided from the
foundation Of the government, is ridicu-
lous. The result on Tuesday last was
only another. but a still more striking eX-
hbltiOn Of the deep dissatisfaction which
has been growing in the minds of the peO-
PIE for some years, and which up to the
present time has been content TO strike
down the party in power
''The republican party. when clothed

with the same fate. These sudden and
overwhelming changes are evidences of a
demOraiized, if not a diseased public mind

Of any policy or for the prosperity of the

sIr. Mor-. on the Elections.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Samuel +. Morss, the
United States consul, in an interview in
regard to the elections just held in the
United States, is quoted as saying: Il
anticipated a democratic defeat, although
/ hoped it would not be so sweeping.
do not believe that the result means re-
publican restoration TO power in 1896. IT
is a mere temporary upheaval and not a
permanent revolution. The principal
cause of the disaster is the great finan-
cial panic OF 1893. which has not yet
spent its force and for which the party
I'm power has unjustly been held respon-
slbla. This has always been the case
from the foundation of the government.
In every instance the dominant party has
lost elections occurring during or imme-
diately after a financial crisis. The first
congressional elections following a gen
eral tariff revision have also invariably
been lost by the party responsible. | be-
lieve that the recent panic was partly due
to natural causes, but IL was due in the
greater part 10 republican class legisla-
ton and maladministratiOn. The coun-
try is now entering upon career of
prosperity The new tariff will give gen
eral satisfaction and the democratic party
will enter the next presidential campaign
with the chances Of success very largely

MIR. sTEYENsON's VIEWS.
Due TO Financial Depression and the
DeIny of Congress.

BLOOMINGTMON, H., Nov. THE
Hon. Adlai Z. Stevenson, vice-president,
spent today quietly in the seclusion OF
the home Of his brother. John, meditating
upon the political events of yesterday
and preparing TO attend the wedding of
nephew, which takes place tonight. 1t
was a dreary day with leaden skies and
a cold drizzle dimming the window panes.
Mr.. Stevenson, when asked to state his
opinion to the causes leading up TO the
democratic defeat of yesterday, said:
My opinion can be briefly stated. The
result is due in part to the financial de-
preston which came upon the country
soon after the Inauguration of Mr..
Cleveland. While the democrats were in
no way responsible for this. they We're
made the scapegOatS. 1t was also in part
due to the delay of congress in passing
the tariff bill. Had the bill become a
law ninety days earlier than it did, it is
quite probable that the business conditions
OF the country would have so adjusted
themselves that the political result would
have been different
Mr.. Stevenson will depart from Bloom
ington this week for Asheville n. c.
where he will join his family, who are
sojourning there. He viii remain in the
South three weeks, going thence 10 Wash
ingtOn.

LOUISVILLE. Nov. In tomorrow's
Courier-Journal under the head, Have
We a Democratic Party?" Mr.. Waiter
sen viii say:
Never did a great party 60 TO the peo-
pie under such handicaps as were carried
by the democrats into the campaign just
ended. The hard times were bad enough.
But they might have been parried. The
faction fights among small claimants and
rival place men We're bad enough, but
parties have met and overcome such OBJ
stacles before now. But with the record
Of 'perfdy and dishonor,' as Mr.. Cleve-
land aptly described it, to face and defend
in hand TO hand fight with the united
republicans, led by Harrison, Mckinley
and Reed, it was dLsheartening for demo-
Gratis to have to face also the duI. self
sufficiency and solid Indifference of an
administration that made no sign, uttered
no word. and. at least in the state of New
York. seemed TO desire the defeat Of the
regular democratic nominees.
What wonder that 50 much apathy in
the official head should breed disaffection
in the rank and file? What wonder that
with so many knives whettsd at Wash
ington there was blood upon the moon
NOAu III the pIEtluELS. DuL IL ID over
and let us hope, il is well over. We shall
have time 10 look about us and whilst
burying our dead 10 cast some balance for
the living.
THE battle for tariff reform will have
TO go down foot and take a new start.
The battle over the money issue will soon
be upon US. We shall see whether there
is democracy enough left of the true and
blue stripe to make a greatcOat good
against all weather. or whether we must
stiIl wear a coat Of many colOrs, covering
not a homogeneous party, inspired by
faith and truth, but mere bundle Of fac
tons thrown together by the upheaval
of the times.
THE republicans have made the issue
that the democrats cannot successfully
govern the country. Upon the lines of
our recent experience it would seem that
at least the men we have al the front can
not. At any rate that seems to be the
opinion of a majority of the voters. But
no more can the republicans govern it,
except by money or by force When they
We're in power they could only get along
by the aid of DOODLE backed by bayonets.
THE republican party is now what il
has always been. II was and IS essen
italy a war party. II was, and il is, es-
sentially a party of prescription. The
democratic party, purged Of its baser
elements-reanim by the constitu-
tional doctrines of Jefferson-inspired by
the national spirit of Jackson-is the nat
ural. the inevitable party Of the consti-
tuition and the people, and, as such, it is
bound to live and regain its lost pres
tige."

MIR. sPRINGER's OPINION.
Urges the Party to Profit by It's Tenn
pOrnry Defeat.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Congressnnan Will
lam Nj. Springer wires the Associated
Press from Springfield, H., as follows:
Your request for my opinion on the re-
suit of the election in Illinois and the
country received. There were many
causes which contributed to the defeat
of the democratic party. The dissatfs-
faction among democrats caused by the
delay In passing a tariff bill and the al
legged imperfections in that measure had
in a measure closed when the election oc-
CURED. Intelligent members Of the party
were satisfied that every possible effort
would have been put forth to secure
prompt action. The hard times of a year
ago, which had been attributed by repub-
Hcans to threatening tariff legislation
caused a feeling OF doubt in the minds of
many as TO the wisdom OF the democratic
tariff policy. The unemployed sought a
change without stopping TO inquire
whether such a change would really bene-
fit them or not. The manufacturers of
the country. who had been receiving large
benefits from a protective tariff, were not
disposed to give up any Of the privileges
which they had enjoyed heretofore. They
naturally resented any efforts TO curtail
their rights to tax the tOiling millions for
their own benefit.
The business interests Of the country
were appealed to by republican psrtisans
10 make large contributions to their cam
evidences
in this part Of Illinois to prove that such
appeals were not made in vain. The re-
publican managers in this congressional
district were supplied more literally with
campaign funds than ever before known
in this state. Never before were repub-
lean politicians so active and persistent
I'm party affairs as during the campaign in
this district.
THE managers Of the democratic party
Were active and aggressive. They never
made more gallant fight, but we were
defeated. The stay-at-hOme vote among
the democrats was very large; so large
in some localities TO raise the suspicion
that voters had been paid to remain away
from the polls.
1.-The tidal wave OF democratic prosperi-
ty, which set In Immediately after the
passage OF the democratic tariff bill, was
attributed by republicans to prospective
republican success They not only
charged the democratic party with re-
spOnsibility for the republican hard times.
but they appropriated to themselves the
great prosperity which followed the pas
sage Of the measure. But nOtKithstand-
ing the overwhelming defeat Of the demo-
cratic party the prosperity which came
from the adoption Of its policy Of tariff
reform will continue right along and in
crease in extent from week to week and
month to month until all men will find
employment at good wages. and al the
business interests Of the country are in
q healthy condition and paced on a
permanent and enduring foundation.
Before the next presidential election
occurs the business condition brought
about by democratic legislation will be so
satisfactory that the country will re-
verse the verdict Of last Tuesday and

senator Cali Explains II.

WASHINGTON. Nov. THE cabinet
officers were late in reaching their desks
today. The president did not come into
the city at all. but remained at Woodley,
presumably at work on his annual mes
sage to congress. As general rule no.
body occupying a prominent place in the
administration cared TO talk for publica-
ton today respecting the election yester-
day. The single exception was Assistant
Secretary Doe of the war department,
who had been confident that his party
would hold its own at least in his native
state OF Wisconsin. Said he: 1.-The cleo
ton in some respects reminds one very
much of that of 1874. This election will
also be claimed by the late calamity
howlers to be a decisive verdict against
tariff reform. but it is, in fact, nothing of
the kind. That is one issue which never
will be settled until a tariff for revenue
has been given a fair trial"
Senator Call of Florida, when asked
about the result of yesterday, said
Gone up, gone up--when a party has
been advocating a certain policy during
its existence and when it goes into power
fails TO carry out that policy it's sure to
suffer defeat"

The British Empire.

The British empire is a political creation
unparalleled IN the worlds history not
only by it's extent and population, in both
of which respects it is slightly surpassed
by China, but because, with an area of
more than 100000 square miles and with
352 600. 900 inhabitants, it is scattered
over the whole globe It embraces all
zones from the icy wilderness of Hudson
bay to the tropical jungles Of India and
the mahogany forests of Honduras There
is scarcely a product which a British
province does not bring forth in excellent
quality, and not less various are the de-
grees of civilization of is inhabitants,
from the Kaffirs of the cape to the highly
cultivated citizens of Toronto or Sydney.

sions. 200 coo 600 HindOos about 10000 600

COFFEYVILLE. Kas., Nov. 9-Twc OF
the Cook gang plundered the town OF
Lenapah, L I. and left a bloody tran
behind them this afternoon. They en-
tered the town in their character OF bold
bandits, without any attempt at conceal
ment, and terro-ized the citizens until
they had carried out their plans Of rob-
berry. 7. T. Melton. a brave young man
who attempted TO stop them with is gun
when they were riding away. was shot
and instantly killed. Another man. whose
name could not be learned tonight, was
reported 10 have been seriously wounded.
Both of the victims were with n small
force Of citizens who hastily armed them
selves and attempted to prevent the es-
cane of the bandits.
The robbers We're mounted on fast
horses and were heavily armed. Some OF
the citizens claim 10 have recognized them
as Cherokee Bill and jim French, we'll
known lieutenants Of Bin Cook, the leader
Of the gang.
The robbers held up the proprietors OF
two stores and looted both places. They
also robbed the postOffice. John Shufeldt,
the proprietor Of one store, was relieved
Of 500 in money and gold watch. Mr..
Shufeldt proclaimed his loss TO the town
before the robbers had finished their work
and the band of citizens We're almost be-
tween them and their horses when the
robbers went to mount An effort was
made TO stop them, but they We're on
horseback with drawn pistols and were
flying away before their would-be captOrs
could make concentrated move. Melton
was more rash than the others and met
death in consequence.
a report says the bandits are headed for
Coffeyvile which Is only fifteen miles
from Lenapah. This place Is the scene OF
many tragic robbsrles and the police de-
partment and volunteers are prepared to
meet them IN the same way they met the
Daltons Two years ago when almost the
entire band was wiped out.
