The Washington Post reports that the result of the late elections formed the principal topic of discussion at the cab inet meeting last Friday, and that "the president and his advisors found solace rather than Encouragement in the situ- ation." The feeling prevailed that the disastrous defeat suffered by the democ- racy was a vindication of the presidents financial policy. The result in Maryland was remarked upon with special gratifi- cation. while the republican triumph in Kentucky was accepted as victory for the sound money views of the presi- dent. The administration now in power was elected in 1892 by democrats. and they who now suffer defeat in Kentucky, Maryland. New Jersey and New York contributed 67 electoral votes and 121. .642 popular majority to that result. The same states this year gave republican majorties to the tune of about 15O, O,O00-- and "the president and his advisors find solace rather than discouragement in the situation" Comment is unnecessary.

Pounded and Kicked.

Heretofore it has always been the case that federal administration received some sort Of consideration and to some extent an indorsement at the hands of the people at some time during it's career. But it has not been so in the case of this second administration of Grover Cleve- land. Carried into power by a popular revolution in 1892, it has, in each year since, been pounded and kicked by the people, until-of course we speak some what figuratively--it must now be black and blue all over. There have been re- publican landslides, tidal waves, snolly gosters, or whatever else one may choose to call them, in each and every year since the Cleveland administration became warm in it's seat.-New York Mercury Dem) 'sei. +.

 Kicked Itself Out of Friends.
 Says the Talladega News Reporter: '"The Montgomery Advertiser has about kicked itself out of friends in this part or A labama by it's unreleDtless and personal warfare on Captain Johnston and Sena- ton Morgan. It is about the last paper in the south to build up and harmonze a great party like democracy. Its rule-or ruin policy has tied the hands and sealeH the lips of many of the best democrats in the state, and the sooner it is deposed from power the better. If 1t said only half the mean things about John Sherman's party that it does about homo democrats and would henceforth refrain from abusing the latter, there would be no more doubt as to next years results than that the sun will shine again. As it is, 1t has the party now thoroughly split up and ready for defeat"

Says the New York Sun in It's issue of Thursday: Tt is the opinion in Madrid that it would be a humiliation for Spain to let Cuba go. We think it would be one of the most honorable acts in the records of Spain. The crown would but lose a jewel that has become valueless; it would gain unfading glory All the republics in the three Americas would cry. Honor! And so would the lovers of liberty the world around. Let Spain break Cuba's shackles, her name will shine. It would be ignominy for Spain to be driven out of Cuba at the point of the bayonet. That is the thing which Spain has to fear. It were shame for Spain to keep up. much longer, the fight against her own off, spring. Nothing could be more advanta- geous to Spain than the emancipation of Cuba.

During speech made at Charlestown, Ind, fifteen years ago Col. Bob Ingersoll said when Kentucky went republican he would believe in the teachings of Chris tianity. The remark has since been quoted by almost everyone in that vicin- ity, and especially during the few days just preceding the election in Kentucky.

Many old residents throughout the coun- tY remember the speech.

Upon the zig-zag rail;
 Your cheery voice of welcome
 Rings out the autumn gale
 When scarlet leaves and golden
 Dance in the amber light,
 You tell me of your presence
 With a vim, Bob Whitel
 A whole-souled little fellow
 Tn speckled' coat of brown;
 You heed not summers passing
 Or skies that darkly frown
 While other birds are quiet,
 Your call comes to delight;
 And that is why like you
 Most of all, Bob White!
 Philosopher in feathersl
 I'd join your happy school:
 The heart forever signing
 Belongeth to the fool!
 Tho chilly breezes blight
 There's always summer sunshine
 In your heart, Bob White!
 The world has so much sorrow.
 We need your lively call;
 A soul to face all trouble
 An that's the best of all!
 The snow will soon be falling,
 Nor hill nor vale in sight
 But I have learned your lesson In my heart, Bob Whitei Monroe H. Rosenfeld in N Y. Clipper.
