PUBLIC OPINION.
CITIZEN.

Chandler had not issued his declaration of war, although it is supposed that his ultimatum is already in Lord Salisbury's hands-Portland Argus.
 The city of Chicago has been defrauded of millions of dollars by the street car companies by fraudulent reports. The loss is made up by taxing the men of small means.-Racine Times. There is not anywhere on the political horizon anything to cheer the democrats. They must go into next years campaign under a blacker cloud than OVerhung. the republicans in 1S91-Chicago Tribune Rep.
 We salute Governor Bushnell with the hope that he will have the courage to turn his back upon the gang which took such an important part in his nomina-
 tion and ection.--Cleveland Plain Deal CT, Dem.
 The wider political consequences of the
 results are grave. It means the strong est possible nomination by the democrats for president and the hardest struggle in years as the basis of hopeful campaign
 next year.-New York World, Dem. Can they make a better or stronger one than that of MT. Cleveland, who has rendered the country and the party such signal service and is so strong with the people? Can the democrats hope to win
 without him m?-New York Herald. Ind. It is now certain that Grover Cleveland will be the only democratic president of the United States between
 Buchanan's time and the end of the nine teenth century. And the third term non- sense is very dead at that.-Cleveland Leader. Rep.
 A republican president in 1896 Is as- sured. He may come from Maine, or
 Indiana, or Iowa, or Ohio. No matter who he Is or from what state he Is pre- scented, as the representative of republi- his iS alraa6V deter
 mined.-New York Press, Rep.
 They are talking of Mckinley and Bradley as the republican ticket for 1896.
 Bradley may probably think that man who can break all records by being elect
 ed as the first republican governor of
 Kentucky is worth something more than
 second place on the presidential ticket. Seattle Times
 The American people in the elections
 showed that they are heartily weary of
 both the domestic and foreign policy of
 the democratic party, whether 1t he of the Cleveland variety or of that which is fairly chargeable to the faction that op-
 poses him. and they propose to get rid
 of every vestige of it in 1S96.-Baltimore American, Rep.
 The elections in Pennsylvania. Ohio.
 New York and New Jersey clearly demon strate that the expectation of the demo-
 crats that popular opposition to them
 and their economic and financial policies
 had subsided and that they would have
 at least a fighting chance for success in the great national contest of next year, were not well founded.-Philadelph Ledger, Rep.
 |r Keen competition has developed in the shoe trade in Berlin and other wealthy Jce1ters of Germany, due to the introduce ,tion of American goods. A Boston man. ufacturer has met with such success that | hel has established a house in Berlin. F Nothing like this ever happened before the Wilson bill became effective. It is the beginning of a growth of American trade throughout the world that has F come to stay.-Kansas City Star. Ind. David Lubin of California offered to
 contribute 5000 to the funds of the American Protective Tariff league if an E impartial committee could be found which would say that high tariff was just to farmers as long as they export a surplus of their products. The league failed to respond, and so did Governor California has resolved to ask the league to give an answer.-Springf1eld Repub- lican, Mug.
 AS we explained day or two ago, the outcome in New York, Maryland and Kentucky carries with 1t special and peculiar significance. Every one of those states should have gone democratic this year, and would have done so under in- tellfgent direction and loyal leadership. The fact that In all of them there was a movement against the party ticket di- rected by men who spoke or pretended to speak for the administration leaves nothing to be explained. The fatal and sinieter conditions set up by democratic ineff1ciency in government were supple mented by intestine discords and petty animosities. The outcome was antici- pated by every thoughtful student of
 political evolution.-Washingto Post,
