GEsTS-TIrE ELECTIONS.
Ex-senator Warner Miller arrived in this city
from his home at Herkmer yesterday, and had
chats with his political friends regarding the Re-
publican victory in this state.
.'The big Republican vote in the interior OF the
State" said Mr. Miller to a Tribune reporter. I
think was due to two causes namely. the frm
stand we took at the Republican State Conven-
tion in favor OF maintaining the laws against the
sale OF liquor on Sunday. and, secondly dissaus-
faction with the tariff policy Of President Cleve-
land and the Democratic pcrty. The reduction IN
the duties on farm products has greatly narmea
the farmers OF the state add they perceive the
fact As look at II, the voters OF the country
favor an increase of the protective duties ior the
purpose of protecting our home market ahd also
increasing the revenues OF the Government IL ~
obvious that with our National revenues less thah
our National expenditures there must be an In
crease OF the tariff duties we shall become
Lankrupt.'
"Did Herklmer County DO well?'
"Never SO we'll We gave about the largest
Republican majority in the history Of the county.
and do not know but TIE largest. With otner
Republicans | am greatly disappointed over the
result in this city 1t seems to me that the he.
publican organization in this county made mis-
by the Republican State Convention in favor o,
the maintenance Of the Sunday laws. II the Re-
pubcans OF New-York had held to the doctrine
set forth by the State Convention think We
would have carried the State by ZoooVo nia'oii'''
instead of the $1,000 we have. 1t IS notlceaoie M

simply provides that any one can sell HquoI
who paws State tax of $3.50. The only regret
is not high enough II is a mistake to think that
the lauor laws Of this State are too stringent.
Irpon the contrary they are not stringent
enough. The Democratic excise legislation OK
1909 greatly enfeeblei the law, knocking numer-
ous holes in existing laws. ] think the number
of saloons should be restricted, and IL would
