NC kINLEY AND HOBART
SWEPT THE COUNTRY.
Patriotism and Honesty Prevailed and There
is Rejoicing Everywhere.

Bow Prater of the Platte. Not only
did it not disappoint expectations,
but it more than realized them by
rolling up unprecedented major
tiles for the Republican National
standard bearer. More than that,
it showed its disapproval of the free
silver heresy by electjng all but
one Of the sound money candidates
for Congress in the States of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Vermont. New Hampshire, Maine,
and Connecticut
The Solid South has been broken.
Patriot in that section of the
Republic joined hands with those
above Mason and Dixon's line to
prove their love of the country and
their determination to uphold its
honor
The great West, conceded to be
the battlefield of the hot contest
that closed Tuesday night, showed
plainly how futile were the
attempts to wean her from
allegiance to the grand old party
under whose regime her prosperity
grew and through whose defeat it
waned. 1t was the claim of the
Bryan managers up to Tuesday
morning that it was safe for the
boy "apostle." The answer to this
impudent claim was given in
thunder tones. Chicago, the me-
tropolis of the divide, where Bryan
and Altgeld made their hottest
crusade, gave its answer to the
blatant repudiators by rolling up
100000 plurality for Mckinley.
Ohio, Iowa. Minnesota, Illinois,
Wyoming. Indianna. Wisconsin
and Michigan are all IN the columns
of honor.
From the Pacific slope, too,
comes the good news of Republi-
can victory, the greeting of the
golden coast to the golden patriots
of the North, East and West.
Leading off with Illinois, the
so-called doubtful States have
rolled into line one after another
with pluralities for Mckinley that
will add d magnificent total to the
column conceded him before cleo
ton. The home of Altgeld, so
brazenly claimed by the Popocrats
until the very eve of election, has
rendered verdict of 100, 900 votes
against the apostles of anarchy.
Indiana by her handsome tribute
proves that the speeches of ex
President Harrison have accom-
plished their purpose.

headed by a brass band, made
their appearance and quickly had a
host of followers. After a tour
of the principal streets they visited
the house of the candidate and rent
the air of that neigiiborhood with
every noise imaginable. Mr.
Hobart did not accede to the
demand for a speech, simply
appearing on the porch and salut-
ing the paraders. When the
whole line had passed he went in
to the house again and was aston
ished a few minutes laterby the
return Of the procession. This
sort of thing continued into the
small hours of the morning, and,
while the few citizens who were
trying hard to sleep IN their
homes were railing probably at
the noise, those without were
marveling that any one should
be able to hold aloof from the
general excitement. During the
night Mr.. Hobar received many
congratulations over the wire.

Tore Down Old Glory.

Last Saturday the stars and
stripes fioated from pole attached
to the casing at the Grove street
end of the RECORD office building.
Sunday night, according to an eye
witness, number of young men
supposed to be followers of the
late Popocrat Bryan, came along
shouting for the Nebraskan. Spy
ing the Mckinley emblem one
raised another on his shoulders,
the flag was torn down and the
pole broken A liberal reward
will be paid for the arrest and
conviction of the unpatriotic
wretch who SO little respects the
flag of the country which gives
him his existence.

Another glorious result of Tues
days election is the sweeping vic
tories of sound money candidates
for Congress. President Mckinley
will have behind him lower
House of the National Legislature
overwhelmingly in sympathy with
him and his party. 1t is safe to
say that in the general rejoicing
at the glorious result of Tuesdays
election, none will join more
heartily than the veteran soldiers
and sterling citizens who were the
candidates of the Indianapolis con-
vention.

AT THE HOME OF HOBART.
Great Enthusiasm in and About Car
roll Hall.

There was joy in Carroll Hall
Tuesday night when ticker and
telephone began to confirm the
first reports of Mr. Hobarts cleo
ton. The first floor of the big
house had been transformed into
a business office, and operators,
stenographers and messengers
were everywhere. In the recep-
ton room were several telegraph
instruments, and it was here that
most of the news was received.
In the libary were four telephones,
and these were also in most con-
stant operation. Here Mr.. Hobart
spent most of the night with his
friends. Among them were Gov
ernor and Mrs. GriggS, Judge
Barkalow, Colonel William Bar
bour, Hobart Tuttle, John Nc
Dewitt, the former law partner of
Benjamin F. Butler; Thomas Kin
say, purser of the ST. Louis; Mrs
Sanford. Miss Stivers and num-
Der of others. The news service
was excellent, and the result was
that at an early hour MIR. Hobart,
became assured of his election.
1t was but natural that Pas
saiciets. irrespective of party,
should be pleased that such an
honor as the Vice Presidency had
been bestowed upon a fellow
townsman, and such a night of
noise and excitement was never
known in this Paterson before. Men
and women, girls and boys, WED

POLITICAL IRREYERENCES.

From the New ork Observer.
With regard to the campaign now
closed two things may be said without
ress rvation, and that IS that while this
great political struggle has been meas
urabIy free from mean personalities, it
has been marked by two very shameful
characteristics, rufianism and irrever-
ence. Americans cannot afford to de-
scend to medieval manners and curb
stone methods in the settlement of pub
lie questions. and brutal interference
with the right of free speech, so long as
that speech keeps within the limits of
law, by whatever parties such hoodlum-
ism is perpetrated. should be sternly
dealt with. The political irreverences, too
in the use of Scripture, which have of
late marked the delverances of numbers
of speakers and writers deserve severe
rebuke such sacrilegiously witty ora
tors may not reflect that they have by
this forcing of Scripture to their pass
ing purpose really perverted the words
of the living God" 1t is true that the
fact that excitement has run high dur
ing the campaign might plausibly appear
TO afford some excuse for such quotation
of Scripture. but even if this were so, it
is now high time that our people should
return TO their sober senses and scrupu-
lously refrain henceforth from such cit
lnqs of Bible back and forth as might
connect the terms silver and
gold" wherever occurring in Scripture,
with current financial controversies.
Passaic City record., 1896-11-07

The battle for sound money,
national honor, law and order, has
been won. Mckinley and Hobart
are elected President and Vice
President by the most overwhelm-
ing popular vote ever cast tor
+. candidates for those Offices since
the first election of Lincoln.
The forces of free silver,
anarchy and sectionalism have
been routed horse, foot and dra-
qoons. and their hordes so scattered
that they can never again be
marshaled to imperil the country
to whose policies they are repug-
nant, and by whose people they
have been met with the most over
whelming condemnation.
Talk about a landslide! Why
Tuesdays result was a tidal wave
under whose waters the enemies
of the Republic have been en-
quilted, and so surely drowned as
to be past resuscitation.
This is the day for singing
Hallelujah, not as partisans, but
as patriots; day for hosannas, not
as Republicans or as Democrats.
but as men who love our country
and flag more than mere political
ties.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The primary system has been tried
in Hughes county during the cam
paigns and has proved satisfactory.
At the republican primaries held last
month the question was submitted as
to whether the system should be CON
tinued or not and out of about 6lO
votes there we're only 20 against. It
is recommended to other counties
where a good square decision of the
voters is needed.-Pierre Free Press.
Only repetition of the good old
story, once give the people a taste of
liberty and they never willingly sur
render it. The primary election, prop
erly conducted under the Australian
ballot system is the best, fairest and

BRYAN AND THE SOLDIER.

In it's issue of Nov. IS, 1892, the
Omaha World Herald, Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal organ, and of which he was edi-
tor at the time, contained this editorial
on the subject of PENSIONS:
The next session of congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
s30,OOO,O00. This is on account of pen
sions. The appropriation for pensions
for the next year must be not less than
l50OOOOOO. 1t is therefore easy arith-
metic to perceive that the appropria-
tion that congress must make next ses-
sion must aggregate not less than 1885,
100000. This tremendous sum would.
in itself, he enough to run reasonable
government. One would not complain
if it were an honest debt, because it
was never earned by any act of patriot
ism or any or heroic service. The gov
ernment is held up and despoiledof no
mean portion of this, and it seems help
less to defend itself. One cannst help be-
ing curious to know how many years
it will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war
1t is safe to say that never did gener-
alton display such remarkable longey.

uncoined, including that coined prior
to 1873, became like paper money,
based upon and measured by gold"
We should like to know if every dol
lar coined has not been as good as
and equal to gold? and has it not cir
culated since 1923 when it did not pre-
viously?
We do not desire to be too inquisi-
tive, but we should like information
from Judge Cleveland on those ques-
tions.
We desire herewith to submit for the
consideration of Judge Cleveland, and
others who are similarly hallucinated
an excerpt from one of Albion w.
Tourgee's papers on the "battle of the
standards" the ability of the author
being unquestioned and his discussion
able and worthy anyone's considera-
tion. He says:
'sThe simple fact is, that a higher law
than that of any nation has wrought
the depreciation of silver-a law whose
operation is universal and which the
mint mark of no realm can seriously
affect. II all the silver in the world
were given the stamp of our coinage to-
morrow the relative value of gold and
silver would not be appreciably
affected. Why not? Because it is con-
trolled by that immutable law of sup
ply and demand which is part of uni
versal human nature and controls the
ratios that prevail between all appre-
ciable values.
But it the law of supply and demand
prevail to control the ratio of value be-
tween gold and silver in spite of the ra-
ito of equivalency established between
coined gold and coined silver, why has
not gold deprecated, the supply of
which has increased proportionately
three times as fast as that of silver?
It is just here that principle applies
which governs the operation of the law
of supply and demand in all similar
cases. This principle has been entire.
ly neglected in the pending contro-
versy, and, SO far as the writer is aware,
has never been clearly formulated. It
is as follows:
When two materials, one more de-
sirable and the other less desirable for
particular use, are chiefly devoted to
the same general purpose, an increased
supply of one or both tends to the de-
probation of the less desirable, and
does not seriously affect the more de-
sirable until the supply of the latter
becomes so abundant as to practically
subserve the use of to which both were
originally applied"

Democrats who cannot find words to
express their adherence of an inter-
national agreement and scof at any
suggestion of restricted coinage Of
silver or any safeguards Of legislation
as will keep the two metals at q parity
may "point" with pride to the following
from the national democratic platform
of 1892:
The dollar unit of coinage of both
metals must be of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value or BE ADJUSTED

SHALL INSURE THE MAINTE.
NANCE OF THE PARITY OF THE
TWO METALS and the equal power

kets and in the payment of debts.
This platform, without any reser-
vations or notifications, was unani-
mously endorsed by the democratic
county conventions of 1892 and 1894.
Nothing was said about the "crime of

ternationalr agreement" was not de-
nounced as un-patriotic or un-Ameri-

The Press was sure that the cam
paign for Mckinley would demonstrate
its effectiveness in many parts of the
country before November, but it had
not believed the landslide would begin
before September was fairly under
way, us it has begun. In at least six
states which the Bryanites had de-
pended upon (and the Press knows
what it is talking about) the voters are
now flocking to the Mckinley stand
ard, and four of them may be regarded
as practically landed. South DAKOTA
is just as sure to go for Mckinley as
election day shall come. No state in
this union has been more carefully
canvassed and it is positively known
that nothing can happen between now
and November that can swing it into
the populist ranks.-Souix Falls Press.
