 The Journals Views
 "Treachery and perfidy inside the party
 accounts for the party's defeat in many
 states in Tuesdays elections. The Wash
 ington Post tells the story, anticipating
 tine result on the eve of the election. Ac-
 cording to the Advertiser New Jersey
 was lost because Senator Smith of that | state was not in accord with MT. Cleve- | land on all occasions. Silver was not an issue in New Jersey. Senator Smith was
 not an issue. But the result and effects
 of, MT. Cleveland's policy was an issue | The depression brougt about by the Wall l street gamblers and some misguided
 bankers outside of Wall street to secure such legislation as would destroy silver ! as money of final redemption. and brought about the revolution in such l states as New Jersey: but in Kentucky | the administration forces determined that no silver man should win and through l treachery and perfidy have perhaps ac- | complished their purpose in that state" Personal. | Miss Jeanette Loeb will leave Friday morning for an extensive trip to Atlanta and New York.
