The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-11-28


National aspects. The significance of it's
results has been recognized throughout
the land. The election in this
State only emphasizes the verdict of
year ago. 1t shows the popular sentiment
of the country. 1t is message of en-
couragement to the Republican party in
every State of the Union. 1t is prophe
cy for November, 1896, when a Republi-
can president and congress will be elected
amid the plaudits of Nation. The Ad-
vertiser (Rep), Newark.
A Moral, Not a Partizan, Victory in
New Jersey-"The victories of the Re
publican party in New Jersey in 1893,
1854. and 1895 have been moral victories.
| They are too pronounced to be traced to
any other cause than deep-rooted and
vitality persistent principle inherent in the
people.
| THE fight of yesterday was not made
against either the candidates or the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. 1t was
a sally on an institution repugnant alike
to good government and popular senti-
ment. 1t was an attack upon the boss
machine, covering behind the Democrat
| &c party. What is true of yesterdays
contest is also true of the two preceding
State campaigns. This is a stern fact
which should be now impressed upon
all Democrats who honor the traditions
of their party and who respect patriot
ism and purity in public life. Unless the
Democratic party from this day forth
sets about the wholesome work of plac-
ing its own household i'll order, the State
of New Jersey may as well be rated in
| the column of the Republican States."-

Maryland Decides to try the Other Side
for While-"The simplest view of the
case is that the political reaction which
began in 1894 has continued,
and has acquired greater momentum
in 1895. The history of politics shows
that the pendulum of progress swings
slowly, but, nevertheless, surely, to eX-
tremes. Parties rise and fall, and each
movement of action and reaction results
in energy which carries the institutions
of the country along in the prescribed
course of events which is aftcrward de-
tailed in history.
THE change lin Maryland) was made
possible by conviction that public inter-
ests would be advanced and good govern
ment furthered if the management of
affairs were placed in other hands.
Whether this hope will be realized the
future alone can show. The demonstra-
ton that no man or set of men can enjoy
fixed tenure of place ought to have Il
tendency to quicken the conscience of of
ficials and stimulate them to a faithful
discharge of duty."-The Herald Qnd.),

A Victory for Democracy in Reality
THE people of Maryland have won in
the great fight for political freedom and
pure government, and the leaders who
have brought discredit upon Maryland
Democracy have been branded with the
lasting stigma of stern popular condemna-
ton. 3" y 1t is a victory for Demo-
cracy, not for Rcpublicanism, one of the
greatest victories, in fact that Democracy
has ever won in the whole course of its
history. Democracy is the rule of the
people, and by this triumph the people
have asserted their authority and resum-
ed their sway.a Greater is he who CON
quereth himself than he who taketh Il
city, and the Democratic masses of Mary
land have shown that they are patriots
of the highest type with whom the public
welfare is superior to partizan consid-
erations, and who, when the occasion
demands, can conquer their political pre-
JUDGES for the good of their State. The

Ohio an Incident in the General Result.
-"EX-GOvernor Campbell will still have
the 'eX' before his name, and will not be
considered as Il presidential probability,
but all Democrats appreciate that he made
a splendid fight under most discourag-
ing circumstances. The failure of the
Springfield convention to take positive
stand on the money question made it i'm
possible to conduct an aggressive cam
paign on national issues The candidate
then followed the best possible course.
He forced State issues to the front and
won to his support thousands who We're
disguised with the Springfield platform.
That he was able to prevent an open bolt,
. is high tribute to his qualities as a lead
er and his personal popularity. "
The local result was but an incident of
the general Republican victory."-Thc

Utah Now and for the Future Republi-
, can.-"The victory is pronounced enough
to make clear that Utah now and for the
future is to be Republican, because, as
the years go by and the new voting pop
! ulatiOn comes of age, quite two-thirds
, of the increase, and we believe four
!, fifths, will be Republicans. 1t is great
victory, and it was fairly won. The
, work that has been done has been very
fine. The effort to stampede the old Lib
erals failed. The extraordinary eXcr-
tons and the new inventions tried by
the Democracy to carry the people off
their feet all failed. and the victory
comes solely because in Utah a majority
of the people are tired of Democratic
methods, tired of Democratic preten-
i siops, tired of q party that perpetually,
when in defeat, holds out unreasonable
hopes to the people, and when given pow
er, goes back on all promises and leaves
the people of the country stranded. The

' Taking a general view Of the results
, of yesterdays work by the voters of the
United States, it is clear that the tidal
! wave which flowed in last year is still
high and receding very slowly, if at all.
