Tuesdays Elections.

There is little in the election re-
turns of encouragement to Demo-
Gratis at present. The Republicans
retain New York state, though Tam
many recaptll ed the city. Defeat in
Maryland was, us the World says, Il
defeat of bossism. not Il Democratic
defeat, and the attempt to run IL free
silver candidate ON sound money
platform in Kentucky was RESPONSE
bic for the overturn there. Ohio
stands by Mckinley, and Iowa elects
Il Republican governor, Massachu-
sets doing the same, as was to be
expected
The Republican party, however,
should not congratulate itself on hay
ing an easy victory in next years
struggle, if, indeed, it will re able to
effect Il restoration of its msrule.
Under a Democratic tariff the coun-
try is fast emerging from the depres
sion by the recklessness of former
Republican administrations. An
era of prosperity has been ushered
i'll under Democratic auspices, and
no one, unless he is blind to the
signs of improvement, will demand
a change.

The one-term rule is to large
extent responsible for the biennial
crop of incompetent and inexpcri-
cnccd legislators at Montpelier, and
their volrminous output of claws
which afflict the suffering people of
the state. While, as the Reformcr
suggests, the chief cause of Lilipu-
tianism is the onc-sldedness of state
politics, the adjustment of these
pcrnicious 'rulcs" would do a great
deal toward clevating the character
OF the public service. The Repub-
lican party has the power to make
the needed change, and if Il little
effort was made TO break away from
the rule of the ringsters and my
turn-ncxt politicians this reform
might not be long III coming. Good
men are sent to Montpelier every
session, and they should be reflect
ed, no matter If some ones feelings
aic sacrificed.
